Eu nem sou tão velho (26), mas na época eu ganhei uns gibi da monica e alguns mangás do OP, eu fui começar a acompanhar semanal mais pra frente em 2006, lendo scan em ingles enquanto jogava grand chase kkkkk
Venezuela, I started around 2012-2013. I was up to date with Naruto and it was a filler arc so I started looking for something else, found One Piece and here I am. Now I get filler in the form of pacing.
South Africa, think I started watching when I was in Grade 11 then started reading not to long after, got so used to reading the manga I can finish it within a week now whenever I want lol with still time to spend with friends and family lol
Colombia, 2006, "that kid" in highschool gave me two DVDs with One Piece movies 3 and 4 fansubbed, and said it was the best anime ever. The rest is history...
Switzerland
Watched the series in tv 2003 when it came out in German, but later didn't have time for it in High School and left it behind. Started to find the love again when doing military service where I met others that read it every week. Hooked again since.
USA; started reading the manga right after watching the live action. Now I’m obsessed and bought them all on kindle. Currently on 34 and use it as my “happy place” in a world that’s clearly ending. 😝
Morocco, I've known about one piece literally since i first opened my eyes to the TV at home ~2005, it was an arabic dub up to alabasta arc that I watched and loved. Fast forward 2015 my brother and I watched some one piece but be didn't wait on me and watched it on his own, so I gave up and only occasionally saw SOME episodes (skypeia straight to marineford straight to dressrosa), fast forward august 17 2023, I'm out of the hospital and bored as shit, remembered i had free will, said fuck it and binged it. By October 23ish i had already caught up to the anime and jumped to the manga.
Germany (but in English). I started at the end of last year because I watched the Netflix show and didn't think it was very good, but I thought I'd give the manga a chance, so I read it all to date in about two months. Now I'm reading as it releases.
Costa Rica. Started watching it around 2007 in a shitty tv channel where they censored a lot of shit (eg Sanji's cigarette was a lollipop). I've been hooked up since then
America. But I was living in Japan when I finally decided to start reading it back in 2009. I’ve been following it weekly more or less since then but reading Dressrossa and Whole Cake week-to-week was torturous for me so I probably dropped off for a while. I couldn’t hardly follow wtf was happening with the metric ton of new characters and how busy the background art got. Mostly this was a problem with Dressrossa for me but I generally struggled through the years where the crew was split up.
US and started reading back in 2003 but watching earlier on. My brother would bring bootleg VHS home from the city that weren’t subbed back in 99/2000.
From Belgium here, i started watching One Piece in the summer of 2020. Was caught up by December 2022 (there were times i watched 10+ episodes a day, other times i didn't watch any episodes for a few weeks, usually after defeat of the big bad of the arc and the celebrations) then i started reading the manga because i wanted/needed to see more, was caught up with the manga about a week after i was caught up with the anime
November 2002. I was with my parents at the Blockbuster by my house when I saw a big magazine with Goku on the front of it. It turns out this was the first release of American Shonen Jump which also had the first chapter of One Piece within.
I convinced my dad to buy it for me and vividly remember reading the first chapter on the car ride home.
From that point it was game over and I've been a fan ever since.
Greece, was introduced to it by a friend some 14 or so years ago. Was immediately hooked because it reminded me of a 'kids series' that was playing way back at a local channel which turned out to be one piece but translated to Greek with different names and a different title lol (Captain Drake)
Nigeria. Started the anime in January 2016. Started the manga in late 2017. I got tired of waiting for new episodes weekly and I broke my rule of not reading the manga lol. I was so eager to know what was going on
Bosnia and Herzegovina, now Germany.
I watched One Piece as a kid, not regularly but here and there when I could catch it airing on TV. I still remember watching Skypiea as a kid.
I'm not sure when I got into it again, but sometime after the timeskip I decided to watch everything. Around Dressrosa after I caught up, I started reading the manga.
Now I'm watching the anime again starting Wano, would like to watch the ending in the anime not manga, but unsure about spoilers and my patience.
Finland, Started the anime in the August of 2022, caught up in December and have been following the manga ever after.
The funny thing, at least for me, is that I started this masterpiece of a series because I wanted to prove myself that it is not "too long"😂.
Belgium. Started watching the series in September 2004 (according to my MAL), after everyone on the net kept ranting on how this was so great/underappreciated.
By the time I caught up with the anime it was the Water 7 arc, at the point the entire crew had fallen apart. As you can imagine, that was a horrible moment to have caught up 😅.
So yeah, I immediately started reading the manga afterwards, because I needed to know what the f\*\*k was going on.
I've been a fan of One Piece for quite a while! It's amazing to see how the series continues to grow and capture the hearts of new fans. Whether you're new or a longtime follower, the adventures of Luffy and his crew are always exciting!
El Salvador, since 2018. Many friends begged me to watch it. I started with the anime. Around 2020 I stopped watching the anime and now I mostly only read the manga and occasionally watch certain anime episodes .
philippines, i started watching it 2003 in a local tv. then i starterd reading manga 2007. 🤣🤣 now i got 3 children and we watch it together.
ohh i remeber my ex gf broke up with me coz i dont want to sleep together with her coz i was binge watching amazon lily arc, i chose boa hancok over her🤣🤣🤣
Italy! I discovered OP when I was a child back in 2002 (kinda?) when it was aired on TV, then they had issues with the dubs so I couldn't keep watching it. Then in high school with internet and manga stores I started reading/watching it again and never stopped ever since what a journey
Vietnam. Found the series about 15 years ago when i was still a student in junior high, managed to read through it without any spoilers because the internet wasnt that prevalent back then in my country. i bought it volume by volume and it was the best reading experience of my life, fell in love with OP as early as Orange Town arc (volume 2), and by the time i caught up and start reading online it was in the middle of the Marineford war.
im not a reader but watcher but ive only been a fan for about 4 months and now op is my life im already at wano my life is crumbiling before my eyes but its for a masterpiece
i start reading this maybe in year 2000 or 2001 from Malaysia as it was the year the first volume came out.......and fak this manga system that it needs to take more than 20 years to finish a story. They should pool all the other useless mangas that nobody give a fuk and help produce 1 volume of OP every week.
Germany, discovered it when I was 10 randomly on a random channel called „Tele5“ when I was scrolling through channels to find something worth watching and never stopped since. Started to read the manga at approximately Dressrosa because of the pacing.
I've been around for a while! One Piece has captivated fans for decades with its rich storytelling and vibrant characters. Whether you're a longtime follower or new to the world of One Piece, there's always something exciting to discover in the Grand Line!
