Seems to be a confluence of One Piece popularity right now. If you start watching the anime you be caught up around the time the final airs - which is in 3-4 years, which goes to show how much you have to watch through.
Yeah I heard lots of praise but couldn't get myself to watch it, it's visually not something that catches my eye and there is nothing about the plot premise that lures me (at least from what I've read- spoiler free). Perhaps I would love it if I give it a chance, after all that's how DBZ went for me. But I've never heard anyone tell me what makes the show so good. It's just "watch it, it's good"
First of all, I probably won't watch it because of just how long it is (and the art-style). But the plot is one of the best ever written, asking some surprisingly deep questions about freedom, power and corruption, while still being fun and enjoyable by young boys and teenagers.
So... You know this because you read the manga or...?
I've only read parts of the manga, as I find the artstyle rather jarring. I know the story because half my friends won't stop talking about it. I then read blogs and articles about aspects / characters who interest me.
I couldn't get into it. I already did DBZ. No time for Naruto or One Piece
