It’s still a marathon, but a significantly less annoying one that doesn’t have large sticky mud sections randomly throughout (the metaphor breaks down a bit here…)
I used One Pace to catch up recently and it’s very good - downside is a lot of the earlier arcs aren’t complete yet, but the OG anime isn’t quite as bad with those so it’s typically ok to just watch the real one for those arcs.
This is useful for updates so you’re not bottlenecked as much (if you don’t have automatic background updates set up).
