One Piece’s anime is on break after episode 1180 and won’t be back until sometime in 2027. That’s one of the longest gaps it’s ever had.

Curious what everyone’s doing with the time:

  • Full rewatch from Romance Dawn?
  • Rewatching just one arc you rushed through the first time?
  • Finally catching up on the manga?
  • Getting a friend started from episode 1?

I’m leaning toward picking one favourite arc and watching it slowly instead of trying to do all 1180. If you’re rewatching, which arc are you starting with and why?

(Please keep anything past episode 1180 in spoiler tags for the anime-only folks.)
