IMPORTANT Updates for Sushi Squad!

TLDR: 

- We are watching One Pace until caught up to where the live action left off then will begin watching the original anime

- We are not dropping any shows

- Kuroko will begin being uploaded after Death Note is finished

-We will be focused on the quality of our reactions vs the quantity

__________________________________________________________

First things first: Let's Talk One Piece! We are hyped to be starting this journey. We truly are. And we have gotten TONS of messages and comments regarding how exactly to tackle this beast of an Anime. We understand there is no way to satisfy everyone, but after discussing with multiple people (who have read the manga, watched the original anime, as well as one pace and the live action), we have decided on the following...

We will watch One Pace until we are caught up to where the Live Action left off. At that point, we will be switching and watching the original anime. We will be consulting with our mods (who have done all of the above mentioned), and watch any fillers that are recommended and skip any unnecessary ones. We have been told there isn't too much worth skipping,which is exciting. 

Also, when we said we would be "dropping a show", I think those were poorly selected words on my part. What I meant to say was we will be holding off on adding any more time slots for shows. So basically the amount of shows we are currently watching is our max. We will continue to replace shows once we finish, and our upload schedule will remain relatively the same. We are not dropping any shows. Sorry for the confusion. 

Lastly: Kuroko's Basketball! Don't worry, this is still happening! We have just decided to wait to begin filming, until we are finished with Death Note (so expect Kuroko to begin being posted here on patreon in about 2 weeks. Sorry for those chomping at the bit lol). We are working really hard and being a lot more thoughtful about how we approach our reactions. We want to make sure our quality is prioritized over quantity. So we want to make sure we aren't reacting to "TOO MUCH", and really understanding and connecting with the shows and characters. You will start to see us looking stuff up more, reading and watching recaps when necessary, and overall just preparing ourselves more before filming as well. We even plan on rewatching stuff (like JJK, Rezero), when we are not 100% confident that we understand whats exactly is going on. We are confident that this will be beneficial to not only us but your experience as well! 

We are so grateful you all have made a decision to join us here. You have tons of great reactors out there who you could choose to replace us with, so we just want you to know we are so thankful, and will ALWAYS strive to improve and provide the best content we can for you all. Please always feel like you can reach out to us with your thoughts or ways you think we can improve. Though we may not be able to execute on everything suggested to us, we always listen and take things into consideration. (Like watching One Piece vs One Pace for example). Have an amazing day Sushi Squad! 🍣 🫶🏻

Comments

I feel like even if you watch the live action you should still start the anime at episode 1 as the dialogue is quite different it would be weird to switch that far in and not get a feel for the differences in the anime version

Bailey Zito

Okay, I scoped out the changes. The really egregious edits happen in the One Pace episode Romance Dawn 03. They butcher Zoro's backstory. I propose the following if you must go the One Pace route: 1) Watch the anime episode 1-4. OR 1) Watch OnePace Romance Dawn 01, then anime episode 1-3. THEN 2) Watch OnePace Orange Town 01-03, Syrup Village 01-06, and Gaimon 01. 3) Watch the Anime Episode 19. (Best version of Zoro's flashback, better than the manga) 4) Watch OnePace Baratie 01-09, Arlong Park 01-10. 5) Start the anime with episode 45. This is minor, but One Pace also removes the commercial break eyecatchers, which showcase each character's music and wanted posters. Many reactors like to play the wanted poster guessing game during these breaks. Kind of like how you would guess what the word or topic was for Hunter x Hunter's eyecatchers and Huncyclopedia. But you can start doing that at episode 45.

hurryupmode

Man I can't contain my excitement😩😭😭

klairvoyance

ahhhh okay thank you! I had no idea what One Pace was so that was probably where my confusion was coming from 💀 i appreciate it!

Jordanxo

If I have understood it correctly they will upload it all but react to the cut down version aka One Pace up to episode 44 and then continue to react to the regular version of the anime

klairvoyage

Really glad you guys are daring to do One Piece with your current schedule. I just want to offer some suggestions on how to watch based from watching others react and my own experience: - skip the title cards (idk why toei does this. They spoil the whole episode) - beware of spoilers (because it is 1000+ episodes, there's just too many things to spoil. That said, there are some big spoilers that the majority of reactors can't avoid so we'll see what happens) - One Piece is journey. At the end of the day, watch it in a way that you feel comfortable.

SoySauce

so i’m a little confused still; will you be watching One Piece (the anime) up until where the live action ends like by yourselves without filming and then uploading only the stuff after from the anime? Sorry if that is also confusing, but i basically just wanna know if they will be uploading One Piece Season 1 Episode 1 reaction first or will it be well into the anime where they start uploading?

Jordanxo

Thanks, love you for that response. In my case i'm just done with long animes, watched Naruto, Fairy Tail, and some animes around 100eps. So OP, doesn't fit with me + i absolutely hate that graphic style, so i pass on that anime. But i fuck with animes that have one or few 12/24ep seasons.

Taiga

I feel the same. On one hand I understand being able to get in on the One Piece hype that's caused by the show and bringing in new watchers. On the other hand I feel this will backfire down the line when in a year they won't be able to rotate shows in and out because the long running ones are taking up all their slots.

Parely

Thank you so much for this Luka! Random comments expressing positivity are always the best! :)

Michelle Lam

Friday!

Michelle Lam

Basically OP is the show replacing Death Note is the best way of looking at it. But dont worry. Ofter Frieren, we will do a poll. And then once YT is caught up with DN, we then will (depending on workload), bring back a show from that category if that makes sense.

Michelle Lam

Nita that is correct!

Michelle Lam

Bleach will def be AFTER Naruto haha

Michelle Lam

Oh wow! that says a lot!

Michelle Lam

Thats 100% fair. Thats why were not just watching one pace all the way through bc I know most OP fans want us to experience the same way they did

Michelle Lam

Thats why i love what we do...So much shit to still look forward to!!!

Michelle Lam

Of course! We love all the shows we are currently watching and will continue to keep adding good ones. We just wont be adding any more time slots. Were done lol

Michelle Lam

We are so excited as well!

Michelle Lam

haha lets go!

Michelle Lam

haha i did too until it was explained to me what it was

Michelle Lam

OK, that was our original plan, but that was before we decided on starting the anime.. So I dont think we need to now since we are diving right in!

Michelle Lam

Yah we will 100% watch Code Geass

Michelle Lam

It wont, because from an episodes per week perspective it actually will end up almost the same. Because we are holding off on adding any more time slots, and right now dont have a replacement for Death Note. So you kinda have to look at it like, death note replacement would be a show that we react to 3 times a week. were basically just replacing it with OP, 4 eps a week. :)

Michelle Lam

ok that is good to know!

Michelle Lam

So exciting to see reactors that care enough to really strive to be better at all times. I think you guys are great as is but more power to ya! Love the community you guys have garnered and can't wait to see what the future holds for y'all and sushi squad!!

Luka Zrnic

I just checked to be sure The walks there in full

Justin Trenka

I think it’s the best decision they could have

Salahadine Abaine

Man I'm stoked

dramatic_concrete

Well it is their choice, but just from the amount of back lash, hyping and arguing; I am sure they see how controversial this anime is... And facing and participating in controversial things could end really well or really bad for social media. FYI if they are listening to "mods", it sounds like you are playing Russia roulette with your channel, Be careful trusting everyone.

Brie Reia (bribri0775)

when is one piece starting?

Pizza_Mozzarella

I would strongly recommend finishing Naruto first before starting One Piece. I feel like watching two long running shounen at the same time is going to burn you out and having two perma locked slots in your schedule for YEARS is gonna limit other shows you get to experience. Not to mention, HxH is pretty long too. Just my opinion though, its up to you guys in the end

yoshi

I agree with you, right no i am watching bleach it’s really good…i have already watched naruto and naruto shippuden (my first anime) and only season 1 of one piece.

Lee

I agree Gintama has everything

Lee

ONE PIECE!Gang gang!

ClassRelic

After you guys finished watching the big 3, you guys should check out Gintama. 😂

Nita.J

JaJa, I don't know about One Pace but you do not want to watch One Pace especially during the critical Water 7, Ennies Lobby and Post Ennies Lobby arc. You definitely have to watch it as per normal. I think many even recommended to watch as per normal until you reach Dressrosa Arc.

Phyllis

My poor guy ichigo being ignored.

Dante

yes this is correct, no poll after death note (mod)

Joise Cepeda

Wait so you won’t be doing a poll for what anime to watch after death note and instead will do kuroko after it or am I mistaken?

g c

Save the best of the big 3 for last

Captain

The live action is better then the anime watch Bleach first

Captain

I don’t mind waiting 😊

Ron Jackson Jr

Correct me if I’m wrong. I think what they meant is they have to finish filming Deathnote first before filming Kuroko. They’ve been adding more shows before some are finished, and we don’t really know how their filming schedules work. All we can do is wait.

Nita.J

Yeah that’s true

Thunter

RIP walk to arlong park. One Pace will ruin hype moments in the first half of this series, it will ruin funny moments, it will prevent side character attachments from being formed, it'll ruin the effect of the music. With a manga, you can study and pore over each frame and spend time with it. The first half of the anime gave us that. One Pace chops it up and robs viewers of that.

hurryupmode

one piece is too long. not worth

iu

One Pace cuts the walk????

Dballz

@CalmYe -- In that case, you should probably avoid the newer episodes. The pacing gets even worse. lmao

Merfhew

Here for One piece <3

harinder

Theres alot you'll be missing by watching one pace especially since your only reference is the Live action

ChocoBoshi

RIP the walk to Arlong Park

ChocoBoshi

please watch the complete anime on one pace

Isshin

i actually thought u guys would upload Kuroko basketball since Deathnote isnt a sports anime and Bluelock was finished but would add a new slot just for us kuroko fans. But I'm not hating

Yoona Kim

AYE THATS OKAY FOR KUROKO UR SAVING THE BEST TILL LAST HONESTLY CANT WAIT.

Ron Jackson Jr

While One Piece is nice but rn if you want to watch long running anime i recommend Bleach (or maybe after Naruto)

en -V

LMAOOO same. I had to ask haha

JaJa

Code Geass is fire. Definitely in my top 5 anime of all time. & I'm a WEEB of 25+ years lmao

JaJa

In my experience, One Pace isn't necessary until you reach the halfway mark. Once you do, the pacing starts to get really bad. I switched to the manga at Fishman Island.

Bachira

The announcement For the One Piece Manga ending came out during the press conference of the makers of Detective Conan. the anime is not going to end in the next 5 years. the creator said atleast 3 years before the manga is finished, and the anime will lag a few years behind. So you're not in a rush to catch up, pace yourselves :p

DB Cooper

i watched until little garden and thought it was pretty dreary, hard to imagine how it gets slower after 200,. i guess one pace was made for a reason

DB Cooper

Oh thx! Do you recommend me switching over to One Pace then? 🤔 I’m currently in the Water 7 arc

JaJa

its a edited version that cuts out the thousands of hours of dead air that one piece has

DB Cooper

One Pace?

JaJa

Me too bro, Me too!

Steadi

Closer to about 45, but yeah not much

Lazygeneration

friday

gdnsx

Excited for this, I started my one piece journey back in February and im only about 250 episodes in as I take month breaks inbetween binges but its a terrific anime. I was skeptical at first but definitely a favorite of mine now.

ECCENTRiC

Lol but the live action made things happen that didn’t happen till ep 313/314 and a lot of the events you saw were multiple arcs condensed so I don’t recommend one pace, you’ll miss a lot due to the differences

JustChris

just curious when's the first one piece ep droppin

Nick

Fortunately, pacing in One Piece wasn't a huge problem for the first 200ish episodes.

Merfhew

I still think these things would be better handled with polls if you really want majority of the communities opinion, but overall I don’t mind watching one pace till caught up with the live action. It’s only 37ish episodes anyway

Ace

As a Bleach fan – I’ll be waiting, not going anywhere!

dzuudo

ONE PIECE LETS GO

Bigsly

Not a fan of OP, so i'm glad you're actually not droping any shows. I was kinda sad, that you'd drop anything.

Taiga

LETS GO ONE PIECE

Shane Lewis

'WE ARE!' 😏 Iykyk

Phyllis

Lol Everyone panicking when they said they dropping a show~ I'm so excited to watch the One Piece anime again with you guys and check out One Pace. I'm also glad that those who have not watch One Piece anime can watch the show with you and join the fandom! 🤭😆 Welcome guys!!! 😊

Phyllis

There's great pacing in the early arcs, nearly 2-3 chapters an episode. They don't need One Pace until Punk Hazard. Also Mayumi Tanaka's episode 4 performance is way better than her Episode Of Luffy performance. One Pace just really screws it up.

hurryupmode

I do this when a fight starts to drag. The pacing of one piece is not for the weak.

Micole

I legit did not even know about One Pace until you mentioned it, I've been watching OP in like 1.25x or 1.5x speed haha. But I'm super hyped to rewatch it with y'all

Randall

This is the first time I’ve heard of one pace I thought yall were just missspelling it or something I was so confused

Bhadar Chaudhary

I’m surprised you guys are tackling One Piece while watching Naruto, so respect! But as a fan my biggest gripe with OP is that the pacing is pretty bad, where there’s constant flashbacks of scenes we just watched that replay the whole scene, and lots of dragged out moments of people just staring off. It wasn’t too big of a deal for me cause I always skipped the flashbacks to save time while I binged. But I only bring this up as warning for you guys cause you mostly do one episode a week for releases, and watching dragged out stuff just to make the episode 20 minutes could get annoying for you guys. But your mods sound like they know the show so I’m glad you guys have trustworthy guides!

Thunter

Hi, I think you didn't read my entire comment. After the "I dropped" there's a "in the 4th episode". I watched some of it and the premise wasn't good enough for me. I read about it and it only confirmed what I thought. Even so, it'd be madness to say that Slam Dunk isn't the best sports Manga ever made.

Ian Luz

"Much better than the anime i didnt watch"

Delt

I agree

XxScaRxLorDxX

Only the first 40 or so episodes will be One Pace.... No pleasing some ppl...

Yumaaa

yippie amazing news !! cant wait to hear you guys' thoughts and comparisons 😆

Erin

just want to ask are you gonna react to breathtaking world of one piece before you watch the show ?

nassra

when you have less shows on your plate. Pls consider Code Geass.(similar to death note) and Gintama(hilarious comedy)

Abraham

We thought about this alot. And that was the original plan actaully. But the LA hooked us. Plus we want to catch up before it finishes. Thats our goal. To catch the hype.

Michelle Lam

That is a great point! We will be seeing how this goes, and adjust accordingly. But just so you know, i do agree.

Michelle Lam

man i hope this doesn't take away from the other current shows at all.. gonna be a lot.. respect your guys' decision tho

Blaw

Lets go! We on this journey together!

Michelle Lam

Not dumb! we will upload every reaction here! It will just be one pace for the first 40 ep or so, then we will switch to the original. But you will get to see every step of the way! First upload is this Friday!

Michelle Lam

Lets go Riley!

Michelle Lam

Yes!

Michelle Lam

Respect to you guys for watching Naruto and One Piece at the same time. 🫡 I don’t have the gut to start One Piece. I’d recommend finishing Naruto first before starting One Piece, but it’s your choice. I hope you don’t get overwhelmed by all the anime you’re watching.

Nita.J

i just thought about it, since u guys chose to watch one pace until catching up to the live action, i think u guys should watch episode 1 the original one rather than one pace. im not sure if one pace even changes ep 1 which i would imagine it does so watching ep 1 the original would be good

gdnsx

I mean its their choice and many ppl want it + 4 eps a week isnt that much so they gonna watch for some years atleast

Vincent Baierl

hope u guys enjoy later... cant wait to see u react OP. Its good anime 🤩🤩🤩. And I still waiting for Digimon Adventure react in the future... ☺☺☺ Enjoy your journey guys!!!

Ragil Pribadi

In my opinion y'all should hold off on one piece until naruto is finished. Reacting to 2 shows of the big 3 anime is tough.

tonyylies

hyped asl nothing against using one pace you're allowed to want good pacing and not watch 30 sec of nothingness

luquzii

I disagree completely. One Pace is faaaar more enjoyable than the normal One Piece, the amount of recap in every episode is absurd, and don't get me started on the amount of scenes that are overly drawn out for no reason.

Brad Nual'Lain

i still think watching 6 to 8 ish shows at the same time is too much. U could reduce the amount of shows u watch but stick with the same frequency of uploads. It causes you to get more into the show and have a better understanding of it. It also reduces our time of waiting for next episodes. Just a thought on my side

Trinature

I still would recommend against One Pace. The whole atmosphere of One Piece is adventure at your own pace. Take your time. Soak in the world. Kick your feet up and go on a ride. One Pace just sloppily chops up the series.

LoneCourier21

Can’t wait. I’m already in the latest episode. Am I telling you it’s an AWESOME anime. I was more into romance anime but there isn’t a lot where there is no harems (which I don’t like). But my cousin got me hooked on One Piece. It was slow at first the build up will get to you. Can’t wait to be on that journey with you guys 😁.

gamergirlYINGZ

Man, I feel like you're shooting yourself in the foot here by doing this through One Pace, but all right. 🤷

hurryupmode

Good luck with your one piece journey I won't be watching it but hope you guys have fun with it

Kage Uzumaki

I have attempted to watch One Piece on my own many times and haven't been able to stick with it so maybe this time I can finally get in to it watching it with Sushi Squad.

David Waller

Another dumb here :(

Mouson

It can be long but overall its worth it, plus the manga is coming to an end in the next years so the hype will be endless.

Florian Martin

Arittake no yume wo kaki atsume. WE ARE! REMOVED? DAMN. Im sure they listen to it first.

H. R_yhvn

Glad you all are watching One Pace, it's definitely good decision. The pacing of the original easily becomes the slowest paced of all shounen for no reason thanks to Toei's money making habits. Looking forward to when you all start.

Desto Samuels

True but its okay in the beginning, it started to really slow down with dressrosa

Florian Martin

i'm really dumb guys does this mean you will be reacting to one pace on here or are you watching that on your own up to like ep40 before reacting on here? 🥹 i recently got into the anime after watching the LA, i'm 140 epsiodes in and the pacing has seemed okay so far & the introduction of characters etc is considerably different enough that it won't feel repetitive to watch them again, even though you're already familiar (hope that makes sense😁)! either way im excited for you both to see it! ⚓️🏴‍☠️👒😈

Erin

The pacing is worst than Naruto for majority of the show. Every Reactor complains about it

Desto Samuels

Hypeee, one piece is goated hope you guys enjoy it It’s a little sad you don’t get to see the original anime or the parts the live action covered But I guess it’s a good way to get on the ride fast and then start watching the rest of the anime

matias

I'm so happy you guys are going to what One Piece !! I'm looking forward for your reactions!

ali

I haven't watched a lot of One Piece (maybe just the first season and that was years ago), so I'll be on the One Piece journey with y'all! XD Also excited for Kuroko's Basketball!

Riley C.

Watching one pace means they are watching 2 episodes per episode, they remove op and recaps and filler scenes if they have in it, so its like 30 minutes each.

Gino

Oh, I strongly disagree. Slam Dunk is indeed a classic, but I don't think it is overrated in any way. It's a true shonen/sports Anime that doesn't rely on superpowers. And since they watched Haikyuu, they would be "at home" with the narrative and character building.

Ian Luz

Can't wait for you guys to watch One Piece and Kuroko no Basket!! Kuroko is my favorite sports anime and One Piece is just amazing! It will be a crazy journey, I'm sure you will fall in love with it, it's one of the Big 3 for a reason!

RorotheShadow

Hype! Will be watching with y’all

Lizzylizh

LETS GO!!

H. R_yhvn

This is awesome, smart to not watch too many shows and focus on quality , excited for one piece and Naruto at the same time!

Tre

KnB is more fitting for newer and younger anime watchers, imo. I've seen both, and tbh I think Slam Dunk is good, but gets a bit overrated out of nostalgia, and it being a "classic"

okay striker

Send via message!

Michelle Lam

Always appreciate you bro!

Michelle Lam

I can't wait to see what you guys think of the rest of one piece!

john collins

We are! haha

Michelle Lam

Hello love your content! I was hoping you would do a video with your best moment watching the first seasons of the anime One piece since you already seen the live action you'll have great moments while watching the anime that I'm sure we all want to share with you. Ultimately it's your decision and I'm sure what you'll do will be great. Welcome to the world of One Piece!

Yuë SUZU

W patreon!

Jonas Teigen

So will you be reacting to the anime and post it here?? Would be great to see you compare the difference

Ahmad Syakir

We will get through it. I am ready to be invested!

Michelle Lam

NO WAY! Cant wait! Makes sure to message us when we get there :)

Michelle Lam

Its worth it, hope you enjoy it with them now.

Justin Moore

Sounds perfect

Justin Moore

Send it!!!

MrPoseidon

Nice. With you guys would probably be the only way I can get through One Piece. Not that I have not wanted to watch it but it seems way too long. And what I've seen of it hasn't been enough to keep me interested. But maybe with you guys

john Alexander

The anime is a bit different than the live action so watching One Pace might make you miss some details. Ultimately it's your decision and I will be along for the ride regardless.

JMen

But about One Piece, I'm glad you'll meet another of my characters here in Brazil, but it will take a long time for you to get there 😂

Ian Luz

No, Kuroko no 😂. You should watch Slam Dunk way before this one. It's a MUCH better show about basketball. I dropped Kuroko in the 4th episode, if I remember correctly.

Ian Luz

So excited!!! ✨

PattieLo

That’s a very fair statement and it is true that many react channels ive seen get into one piece did change quite a bit after OP

im__JAM

Just wanted to say. Y'all are soon gonna start my absolute favorite sports anime. I honestly love I to the point where it's in my top 10 anime of all time list

ShaquanVirse

It’s a sports

Jeremiah Green

Also how do you get your suggested anime cause I got one

Jeremiah Green

inuyasha, Bleach and samurai x recommended. I will enjoy your reactions nonetheless

H. R_yhvn

Can’t wait

Jeremiah Green

I’m current to the One Piece manga. The community you will get from this will be good growth but OP fans can be ruthless. It’s impossible to make everyone happy but y’all always do great so none of us are too worried about it. Good luck with this and if you have op questions ask your local Patreon expert 👍🏼

Tyler Lacy

One Piece let's goooo!!!!!

Grim

You guys are the best!

Aaron Kinnard

Watch one piece 2 episode per day like naruto

H. R_yhvn

Hype, but i wouldnt watch one pace, the pacing is pretty good in the beginning and the anime is different from the live adaptation

Florian Martin

so… basically Code Geass is coming soon 😓

J

Sound awesome, Can’t wait for the journey!!!

CozyPenguin

AAAAA HAPPY TO HEAR THE ONE PIECE NEWS! I swear you’ll fall in love with it
