I'm not a massive fan of the original but still somewhat enjoyed what I saw. I think I got a few seasons in before my interest faded.

I just watched the first episode of the live action and initially it felt very weird and wasn't really a big fan. I stuck to it and honestly it really grew on me and like how they handled it. Definitely gonna watch the rest when I get the chance.

huh, interesting. Gotta say I had less hope for this than I did for Cowboy Beebop. (which also wasn't much, but I digress)

Maybe I give it a shot... and take a shot before it starts...

The original took like 300 episodes to get interesting for me. I am into the 500s and enjoy it now. Skipping the filler episodes really helps.

You watched 300 episodes of something you didn’t find interesting?

I spend a lot of time doing things I am not all that interested in, like living.

"Watched" is generous; it was background noise that occasionally caught my attention with the Devil Fruit powers. I stuck with it because of the powers and I wanted to see what ones they came up with. I am glad I did because Law's power is sick.
