Yes, absolutely. I kinda wish I could go back to when I never saw it and watch it and read it all over again as if it were my first time.
Personally, I think OP is vastly superior to Naruto. The only area which I think is questionable is the art style, but that's purely subjective. It's so well written and so fascinating and so enjoyable to read.
I think the anime is a really good place to start, but you're going to want to go about 40-50 chapters before you can make a statement. Unfortunately, the second arc is probably the worst arc of hte series imo, though thankfully it's pretty short, only like 8 episodes or so. Some of the later arcs are 40-50 episodes. But yeah, I'd definitely try it. And if you don't want to get into all that, then I'd suggest you read it. It's much quicker and easier than a 20 minute episode, and there isn't any filler so that's always a plus, however OP anime filler isn't horrendous like with some series.
I wouldn't let the 700+ chapters disuade you. It's so good, that you'll be glad you can marathon the shit out of its awesomeness lol
