My cousin swore I could skip the first 50 episodes of One Piece, and now I'm lost at episode 200
My cousin Dave, who has watched the whole series twice, told me at Thanksgiving that the first 50 episodes are filler and I could just start at episode 51 and be fine. I did that, and now at episode 200 I have no clue who half these characters are or why anyone cares about them. Every episode I keep hitting references to stuff I never saw and it's making me want to quit. Has anyone else tried jumping in partway like this and did you just push through or go back and start over?
