User blog comment:Joekido/My Earliest thoughts on One Piece/@comment-4374114-20140108203950

I originally started watching One Piece in early 2000s when it was part of 4kids, it was interesting but seemed to take forever on episodes and was horribly done. I had only gotten to Drum Kingdom, at which point they started bouncing around and it was too confusing to follow how they wanted to show episodes. It wasn't until 2009 that I ever tried watching again. I decided to search for that pirate cartoon again, thinking it should have completed now and I could easily watch at my leisure, boy I was surprised to see it was still going very strong.

I started out watching the anime,  the dub as far as I could then since no new dubs were to come out soon I started watching through all the subs, wow it was addicting. It wasn't until I had caught up to about SA in the anime that I started to even look at the manga. I have since read every release since, but still in the process of catching up from the beginning. For the anime now I watch the new dubs as they come out and the subs each week, quite addicting. Who would have thought would want to continue watching it after the horrible work 4kids did :)
