One Piece is an intimidatingly large anime series and there’s no way around it, newcomers might find it a difficult task knowing what they need to watch to catch up and fully enjoy the series.  While it stands to reason that you could easily just watch every episode in order, there’s the matter of filler and whether the movies are relevant or enjoyable enough to watch as well.  We’ve gone ahead and provided a watch order for the series so you can optimally enjoy and fully catch up on the saga of the Straw Hat Pirates from when Luffy starts as a scrappy newcomer, on his journey to becoming Emperor of the Seas.  Read on for our One Piece Anime Watch Order!
