    To be honest, the episodes are like max 15 minutes of actual content if your remove the intro, outro and all the recaps.

    But One Piece suffers from what every long anime suffers, long outdrawn stories that get stretched (pun intended) over too many episodes. There are arcs lasting over 100 episodes. In those episodes, not much happens, but always something happens to try to keep the interest of the viewer. But the main culprit are the flashbacks.

    Flashbacks happen so frequently in those series, it is like reading a book and every couple of pages they copy one of their pages from a previous chapter in its entirety. I too can write a 300 page book like that.

    Anyway, it should be illegal for people to recommend anything with more than a 1000 episodes.

    One Piece has some incredible awesome moments, but the dull moments in between don’t make up for it.
