So, I am finally diving back into reading the One Piece manga. Last time I was actively reading it was in 2007-2008, right before going to college and realizing that I have no free time ever. I haven't kept up since then, other than being aware of a few new crew members and a time skip.
I left off on volume 28 (the Skypeia arc, right?), and re-read the previous volume last night just so I can remember what exactly happened. I have to say, the art in this manga series is so beautifully and creatively presented. I'm not sure why there are so many people who are turned off by the character designs, because I just find them gorgeous and clever.
Quick question, though: having not seen ANY of the anime, would it be advisable to start watching? I really don't have the time to fully dedicate all that I am to going through it episode-by-episode, but I know there are filler arcs and slight changes in certain locations that might deserve a watch-through. Any arcs in particular that are worth the viewing?
Also, is it advisable to watch the movies if I haven't seen any of the anime? I don't know anything about the continuity (or lack thereof) the movies might have or proper/improper characterizations, so this is just me being curious.
