One Piece is a very long anime series, with over 1000 episodes and still ongoing. This can make it daunting for new fans to know where to start. This article will provide a guide on how to watch One Piece in order, including the main storyline, filler episodes, and movies.
Main Storyline
The main storyline of One Piece follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, as they search for the legendary treasure known as One Piece. Along the way, they encounter a variety of enemies and allies, and explore many different islands and seas.
To watch the main storyline of One Piece in order, you can simply start with episode 1 and watch through the most recent episode. However, there are a few filler episodes and movies that you may want to skip.
Filler Episodes
Filler episodes are episodes of an anime that are not adapted from the source manga. They are often used to fill time while the manga is on hiatus, or to introduce new characters or concepts before they appear in the manga.
One Piece has a number of filler episodes, but not all of them are created equal. Some filler episodes are well-written and enjoyable, while others are skippable.
Here is a list of the filler episodes in One Piece:
- Episodes 336-384
- Episodes 457-504
- Episodes 542-574
- Episodes 578-590
- Episodes 629-686
- Episodes 747-782
- Episodes 892-934
You can skip the filler episodes if you want to get through the main storyline of One Piece more quickly. However, if you have the time, some of the filler episodes are worth watching.
Movies
There are currently 15 One Piece movies. The first few movies are not canon, meaning that they do not take place within the main storyline of the anime. However, the more recent movies are canon, and they can be enjoyed by fans of the anime.
