So I have watched the first couple arcs of One Piece and enjoyed the humor and characters in it, but stopped because I was overwhelmed by the number of episodes. Would you recommend a place in the anime or manga for me to start to get into it or should I try again one day to watch the entire thing from beginning to end?

I'd recommend the manga, if you need to get caught up. I remember i turned a fellow study-abroad student onto One Piece while i was in Japan, and he managed to get caught up in a few weeks by crunching the manga (granted, he seemed to be a major insomniac, but still...). Quicker, and you skip the filler (OP filler is usually pretty good, certainly better than Naruto filler, at least)

Maybe start watching at the Marineford War.

Alright.  I'll give it a try this way since I know that you are a big fan.
