Is it too late to get into One Piece? How long would it take to catch up, realistically?
Depends on how fast you can read. If you're stupid enough to watch the anime it would take over ten whole days of continuous watching.
Don't be a spee d. reader. Take your time to digest the story and enjoy the ride. The story is long from being over and you'll catch up in due time.

Anime is good up until after Enies Lobby.

Yes, it's too late.
Watch better anime (not shonen shit) instead.

Too late

just watch it for the entertainment. people who say dont watch the anime has sticks up their asses. enjoy the show. remember any journey starts with a single step.
it took me a month to get up to fishman island from episode 1.

I've read and watched all of it, desu you can just watch it up until Time Skip then switch to reading the colored manga. Save yourself the trouble of transitioning from somewhat nicely paced episodes to the literal slideshows of shit we get now

Take your time, it's not like it will finish before you catch up. But if catching up fast is in your best interest, you should definitely read the manga. The anime tries to stretch one manga chapter along 24 minutes, and it quickly becomes torture.

Just think of how many better series you could watch in that time.

>It was shit
>It's still shit 12 years later
i powered through it and it took me 2 months to watch all of it
I tried the anime and it's pretty good but fucking hell, The dude with the Afro and big nose arc lasts forever with that cat faggot.
