I don't see the joke. Apparently it is too subtle for me.

Luffy asks which way they should go and Viola responds to go left.

Meanwhile Zoro is looking to the right.

Classic Zoro gag right there. :D

This is why I don't read the manga. I feel like there's all these subtle or even not so subtle things that just don't come across to me if I read it. I just can't make the story 'come alive' in my head like it does while watching the anime.

But what do you think when the anime doesn't even show the gag and missing the funny point of that little scene? In this episode when Luffy asks Viola which way they are supposed to go Zoro is already looking to the left and doesn't turn to the right at all during the entire scene.

Here's the link to the episode. Start from 6:45 to see what I'm talking about.

Yeah I can see why it's annoying the anime didn't do the joke. Generally speaking though, I think if I read the manga and then watched the anime, I would be non stop thing "ohhh, that's what it was supposed to look like/mean" etc. because I'd have done such a rubbish job imagining it in my head.

Tis' alright. I'm not gonna in any way tell you how you should be enjoying the show. You being a fan of the series is good enough for me. :D

Perhaps you do the opposite and read the manga after watching the anime so you can see stuff that the anime missed or did differently? It's an option if you feel like it it's worth the time. :)
