@Lancer21MiG:
Hello everyone!
I'm a very, very, very late newcomer to One Piece, as I've picked up my first manga of the series a week ago, courtesy of my brother. In that week, i've stormed through the next 11 ones and have ordered more…
The thing is that I see how rich the universe is, how there's a long running anime and manga, how there are games and spinoffs, and I'm kinda lost in all of that. So, I decided to register here as to discuss with other fans what I should read/play/watch, in what order, what I should keep in mind when doing so... And I hope to become as knowledgeable as all of you are!
See you soon on the forums.
Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride through the next 990 chapters and 940 plus episodes. You're in for 1 wild rollercoaster ride of adventure, fun, laughter, emotional gut punches that are sure to make you cry
It'll be quicker to read the manga first then watch the anime imo. Anime will tend to have filler stuff that the manga doesn't as well as filler arcs that the manga didn't have at all.
Or watch the anime and read the manga alongside it. Its up to you.
The games and the movies are Non-canon as far as the main storyline is concerned. They are all standalone adventures.
If you wanna avoid spoilers and stuff entirely, I'd avoid the games entirely even though they're not entirely canon they do have stuff from the main series
Oh and of course, enjoy.
