anime: 7/10

Manga: 9/10

The manga is so much better and faster paced, you don't have to worry about filler moments inside of episodes, you don't have to worry about the fear of the manga going to filler, the art quality of the manga>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the animation quality of the anime, moments in the manga are more intense and not dragged out, it's more intense...lol just try the manga already cuz

right now in the anime , it's in the same arc as it is in the manga (obviously) but in the anime you have things that take too much time (like for example , when fujitora was in the bar and he was doing the "black hole" it took so long , you have filler scenes , all that bad and boring stuff.

in the manga you have things going fast ... and i mean really fast and you don't hv bullshit stuff such as filler scenes in the anime ;).

if you wait for the anime to catch up the manga , then you'll have to wait about... 4 / 5 / 6 months to catch up till now... bc it's really slow-paced and if you really wait for it , then when it catches up to this chapter of one piece (chapter 748) then you'll regret it that you didn't read the manga before bc you just waited 6 months or so for the freaking anime to catch up when you could've already been reading the manga from this day.

Generally speaking I hate reading manga. I prefer to watch anime.

But in One Piece case manga is much better then anime. I mean anime is good too, but manga is just pure awesomeness and you should definitively read it.

just read the chapters first and then continue with anime each a week.the anime has its own epic moments.the latest episode proves it they can make better quality if they want to

Manga is literally close to perfection (9.8/10). We get so much content in each chapter, it's ridiculous. I do have some complaints but they don't affect the plot/character-development/etc. However the anime is like a 7.5/10 or maybe a 7? IMO it should go on hiatus for a good year or have a lot of filler content but that's unlikely. Like the start of a new arc in the anime is painfully slow then it gets really good near the middle-end. I shouldn't be watching fujitora walking for like 5 mins. I doubt toei would make the anime go hiatus cause they prob. get a lot of views/revenue from the OP anime but I'm 100% they know how slow it is.

Both very enjoyable, only difference for me is the anime lags behind the manga. Some events are done better in manga, however some fights are simply awesome in anime. Do both, no regrets. One piece fillers are actually bearable/entertaining.
