So, I watched the entire series up to Egghead, watching a few of the specials, all the crossovers, a few movies inbetween the episodes (I would only ever watch one article per day - one episode, or one movie, or one OVA, or one commercial. Sometimes this meant I had 30 seconds of something to watch that day, sometimes it meant I had 2 hours to watch. I sat down and stayed in my seat the entire time, not getting up till that video is done).

My thoughts: Some of the films were legitimately really fun! I refuse to believe One Piece: Red is not canon in some nebulous way, it just feels like an amazing arc. All the specials have amazing environments, and especially the movies have these incredible islands. I highly recommend any artists into anime, probably at least skim through the films, watch Clockwork Island, watch Chopper's Kingdom, watch all the early One Piece movies and OP Film: Red.

There are a shocking amount of these films that I could not find. Surprisingly, I couldn't find the Long-Long Island recap (which is ok, it is just a recap, I did wanna watch all I could, but this one seems fairly lost). Also One Piece Planetarium, somehow even the Star Wars crossover I could not find. Sometimes, even entire multi-part series like One Piece Characters Logs (recap episodes of each character's story and how they joined) are currently lost.

I did actually find a few of these videos that were thought lost on a few online video directories, scattered about. I do wish we could just allow posting of videos anywhere, so that we always have the records of that video, and we handle anything about copyright and resources a separate way and don't have takedowns, I think we'd have a much broader spectrum of videos we'd have posted.

The recaps and retellings of the story, like Episode of Merry, Episode of Alabasta, ect. oddly tend to have the opposite problem One Piece has: they show too little. They need to be about 1.5x to 5x bigger (the Fishman Island Saga needed about 30, maybe pushing 36 episodes to best be shown without filler. That's about in line with a longer typical Shounen arc. For reference, the Fishman Island Saga, which is one of the shorter arcs, takes 60 episodes in the main series. If the entire series was scaled this way, it would likely end up around 400 to 550 episodes total. So, definitively something for future editors of a less filler-filled One Piece version (somewhat like we're seeing with Elfbaf pacing).

Some of the specials are cute and fun, like the Soccer and baseball episodes ^^ Also there is a cute series of episodes where the One Piece characters give a PSA.

A lotta these are recaps. I think I have watched the same scene of Luffy meeting Shanks, Luffy eats the fruit... -> Shanks saves Luffy, Luffy gets his strawhat, about 6 times over the One Piece main series, and the side series and recap episodes, it just keeps being shown so many times ^7^

If you want me to tell you which of these were worth watching, Nebulandia, Fan Letter, Gold, Red are good. Glorious Island ; 3, even Jango Dance Carnival is fun, One Piece: Protect! The Last Great Performance are fun.

All the movies in general are good, from One Piece: Defeat the Pirate Ganzack! to Dead End to Adventure in the Ocean's Navel to Open Upon the Great Sea! A Father's Huge, HUGE Dream!, all so good!

This is my journey, and now I am going to keep going~! I am going to keep saying current on One Piece, and I'm going to watch One Dragon Ball episode per day. Best Days to you all!

How was your week child?

Hello, my child, I hope you are having a good weekend. Tell me anything you wish to tell, I will listen to all

The Speaker really tries to help Sera. When you are cast into the depths of Hell by your own actions, having someone there to listen is a really special lifeline (Source in description)

May your week have been well, child. Do you have anything happy you wish to tell me this week?

Tell us, child, how is your week going?

Greetings my child, is there anything you wish to confess to the Speaker today?

What can the Speaker help you with this week, my child?

Hello my child, how is your week going on our week as this one?

Vaggie is just nervous (source: ar_aiko12)

Happy New Week my children ♡ How is this week going?

I wonder how they constructed Heaven and Hell in the Helliverse. These are material places - you have needs in Hell, and you can get hurt even if you're a Heavenly being (although you likely don't have needs in Heaven). Divine Realms as physical places always fascinate me

How is your day going now, my child?

Charlie loves her girlfriend soooo much ♡♡♡♡♡

Which of the Hell Denizens would the Speaker get along with? Obviously Charlie and Luci, but I mean the unexpected souls that the Speaker would enjoy being around

How is your week of this world going, my child?

I am so happy with our community we have built

I do wonder how Zestial and the Speaker of God would get along. He is extremely dangerous, but he is always polite and seems to care mostly only about protecting a certain group, namely Carmilla and her family, rather than expanding his power.

Good week my child, how are you this week?

Queer Emily and Lesbian Sera is such an exceptional thing to learn of today in this Pride Month ♡♡

Update: Finally I am done: I truly watched all of One Piece, One Piece at a time. Episodes, Specials, movies, OVAs - I watched exactly one and only one per day. I started November 16th 2022. Today, 2026, June 4th, I am done, there are no more pieces yet out to see. I have seen literally everything.
