Just hit 100 episodes of One Piece in a single month

I started One Piece at the beginning of last month because my brother kept bugging me about it. I did not expect to get hooked so fast. By week three I was watching 5 or 6 episodes a night after work. The Arlong Park arc really grabbed me and I couldn't stop. Hitting episode 100 felt like a big deal because I usually give up on long shows after 20 episodes. I never thought I would actually care about a rubber pirate this much. Has anyone else been surprised by how fast they burned through a long series?

I get that it's exciting to finally find a show that clicks, but people act like watching 100 anime episodes is some kind of life achievement. It's just a TV show, you watched it because it was entertaining, not because you conquered anything. Calling it a "big deal" and comparing it to rearranging your schedule makes it sound way more serious than just enjoying some cartoons after work.

Isn't it funny how the stuff you least expect to stick with you ends up being the thing you can't put down? It's like when you start a new hobby thinking it'll be a casual thing and suddenly you're rearranging your whole schedule around it.
