Just hit episode 500 on One Piece and realized something weird

I was watching the Wano arc last night when my computer said I was on episode 500. I didn't plan to hit that number, it just happened. It matters because I started One Piece back in 2018 during a bad flu week and now five years later I'm still here. The weird part is I remember thinking episode 100 felt like a huge milestone. Now 400 episodes later and I'm barely into the New World stuff. It's wild how a show with 1000 plus episodes makes you feel like you've barely started. Has anyone else hit a round episode number by surprise and had that moment where you realize how much time you've put in?

Ngl @the_jennifer, I gotta push back a little here. Honestly, I feel like the opposite - I hit episode 700 recently and it hit me how much time I've sunk into this show, but it also felt like I was finally getting somewhere in the story.

Did you ever think it would feel that way? I used to laugh at people watching long shows, but now I get it completely.

Question it all, honestly @the_jennifer. I mean, it's just a show, right? Feels like we're kinda overthinking it.
