One Piece is this massive, mammoth thing with an ongoing manga, a long-running anime adaptation, and multiple movies, and it might be difficult to figure out how to read and watch via streaming services. Especially with the Netflix live-action adaptation coming in 2023. To help people keep up, here’s how you can get started or catch up with the series.
How to Read the One Piece Manga in Order
This depends how you want to read it. If you want physical copies, Viz Media is your best bet. Volume 102 released on December 6, 2022, for example.
If you’re willing to go digital, then you can choose between Manga Plus or Viz Media. All the chapters are in order there.
How to Watch the One Piece Anime in Order
Okay, so, this is an easy one.
Crunchyroll is your best bet. It features the East Blue through Wano arcs. Everything is well-ordered and organized.
You can also go through some other sources. Hulu offers episodes 1-152. Netflix has 1-325. Pluto TV also features episodes 1-325. YouTube TV notes it goes up through 609.
How to Watch the One Piece Movies in Order
This isn’t as easy! Yes, the One Piece movies tend to feature original stories that are only somewhat related to current events in the manga and anime adaptation. This means you don’t necessarily need to watch them one after the other in order.
There are some exceptions. The Desert Princess and the Pirates: Adventures in Alabasta and Episode of Chopper both cover the Arabasta and Drum Island arc in different ways.
They also tend to be self-contained, aside from The Adventure of Deadend and The Cursed Holy Sword tying into each other.
However, it gets difficult for a few reasons. One is that some aren’t readily available in English. For example, the first three films never had an “official” release. The other is that even the ones that did show up worldwide aren’t all streaming at the moment.
Here’s the order for films, some of which you’ll honestly need to buy due to the streaming situations. Any official English releases are noted. The movies can typically be found on Netflix.
