How many episodes of One Piece are there?
CrunchyrollLuffy and the Straw Hats have been sailing the high seas for years now, but how many Once Piece episodes are there and how long would it take you to watch the whole anime show, plus the movies?
One Piece is an anime show based on Eiichiro Oda’s beloved shonen manga. First published in 1997, the series evolved into a media behemoth, spawning one of the most successful and best anime ever made.
What started as teenage pirate Monkey D. Luffy trying to find the mythical, titular One Piece has become one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. The numerous One Piece sagas (and requisite One Piece filler) have spawned all sorts of lore that’s enraptured fans for generations now, with no signs of slowing down.
If you’re thinking of setting sail yourself, you might be wondering – just how many episodes of One Piece have been made so far, and how long would it take to watch them all?

How long would it take to watch all of One Piece?
Right now, it would take nearly 442 hours to watch One Piece – that’s 18-and-a-half days’ worth of anime without a single break.
Including their opening and closing themes, and factoring in credits, each episode of One Piece is between 22-24 minutes long. For easiness sake, let’s just say each episode is 24 minutes. Multiply that by 1,102, divide by 60, and you have 440.8 hours.
If you add all of their runtimes up, the 15 movies amount to another 22.1 hours, which equals 441.7 hours.
You may love One Piece, but you can’t watch TV for more than 18 days straight. So, let’s plan it out: if you spent nine hours watching the anime each day, it would take just over 49 days.
What if you didn’t have that sort of time to spare? What if you’re a working person who just wants to squeeze in two hours before going to bed? Well, you’re in it for the long haul: with just two hours of One Piece each day, it would take nearly 221 days – that’s more than seven months of dedicated viewing.
