Watched the first episode of Season 2 of One Piece. Never r ad the Manga or watched the anome, so I am going in fairly blind but loving it. Delightfully unhinged.

Very much so. I got through the second season in a few days. I also have never seen the original anime, though it's available on the same source.

I just don't have the time?

Completely understandable. My life is like a war; Long periods of boredom interrupted by hours of terror

I hear that.

At some point, my kids might get into it...

I don’t know who does. The anime has at least 32 seasons. I tried the pilot and found I like the NF live action a lot more.

I never managed to get into the anime because the art style just really doesn't work for me. Just something about the general character design that I can't get comfortable watching.

Enjoyed the first live-action season, will be checking out the second soon.

I mean, I assume people who have been war thing for 25 years, keeping up isn't all that difficult. But it is daunting starting fresh, for sure.

The live action show is covering about 4 or 5 episodes of the Anime per episode, and given that the final ending for the Manga is forthcoming they might actually finish the story with these actors...we'll see.
