How long would it take to watch the One Piece anime? The series is known for having over a thousand episodes which makes it hard for new fans to want to try to get into the series. For interested fans, there’s no pressure to rush the anime. It’s best to take one’s time and enjoy it. Here is a guide on how long it would take to watch the One Piece anime.
How long does it take to watch all of One Piece?
One Piece is currently at 1089 episodes, with episode 1090 airing this Sunday, January 14, in Japan. A full episode runs for around 22-24 minutes. Considering the upcoming episode, watching 1090 episodes of One Piece would take around 23,980 to 26,160 minutes or 399.6 to 463 hours. That is estimated to be 16.65 to 19.29 days. But that’s the unrealistic way since that doesn’t include sleeping or eating.
How long would it take to watch One Piece without filler?
One Piece has a low number of filler episodes. As of writing, the series has around 95 filler episodes. This leaves 995 episodes left. That would amount to 21,890 to 23,880 minutes or 364.8 to 398 hours. Without any breaks, no sleeping, and no eating, that would be 15.20 to 16.58 days — which is also unrealistic.
If you want to finish the series faster, then you can skip the opening and end credits. An episode also usually starts with around a 2-5 minute recap of the previous episode so if you just watched the previous episode, you can skip that as well. That would leave you at around 20 minutes per episode. So the total would be 21,800 minutes or 363.3 hours. That leaves the unrealistic computation to 15.13 days.
Watching One Piece at 2 hours per day (6 episodes) can be a reasonable pace if you’re in no rush. If you want to finish One Piece within approximately a month or a little over a month, that is possible as long as all you do in a day is binge-watch the series.
