It may get better later in the story, but it will get much better later if you take your time to enjoy the earlier parts.
sole reason to continue watching one piece after I stoppped 20years ago (just before alabastre arc) was to know how funny rubber man turns into white cartoon funny rubber man.
same bro
I watched one piece because I really like gear 4
It's not boring. Long as hell. But it's not boring.
Its is boring, long as hell, and very boring
It’s both

not long enough to me ;-;
@@axinfurnus3727why you watching it than 😂
Unpopular Opinion : I felled in love with the series from the beginning 😊
Love the charm, simplicity and emotional storytelling of early One Piece
Simple?

Its very ass

For me I got into one piece through the anime. I was kinda indifferent up until we got to sanji, then I was more invested. Then once we got to Arlong park I became completely hooked on the series. I stopped watching it once I got to dressrosa because I couldn't stand the pacing. I eventually read the manga and I enjoyed it way more through the manga. I appreciated arcs like thriller bark way more. So I would say the anime really can ruin people's enjoyment, it just depends on their patience.
I didn't like Usopp at first in the anime until I reached Water 7, but I recently read Syrup Village, and I completely missed out on how awesome he is. He can't do anything against Kuro and Jango, yet he does all he can to save Kaya, and the same goes for his little crew of kids. He's awesome!
I just wish they didn't ruin his character post timeskip, his last good moments were shooting down Buffalo and Baby 5 on Punk Hazard and unlocking Observation Haki in Dressrosa. He didn't do anything in Wano. Onigashima should've given all the strawhat's a full fight against the headliners of the Beast Pirates like Ennies Lobby. I hear the same for Egghead too, I have high hopes Elbaf will change that
Everyone has been dying to see Elbaff for years, expecting it to be a huge impact on Usopp. After egghead not building up Franky though, there’s some worry.
I agree, he's the only strawhat not to get an Onigishima fight. We got one for Chopper, Nami, Brook, even ROBIN who almost never fights, but not Usopp.
@tipsy634 I also count Nami up there too, but she usually has her moments. Respectfully, she was present on Wholecake and did her part there. She was just running and running with Usopp in Onigashima, but she did get that amazing scene with Ulti though, but I would consider it a fight
It doesn’t get good later. You learn to appreciate it more as you watch/read.
I used to get exhausted by how many characters get introduced each arc. But now I get excited for what wacky person is coming next
Basically: A lot of "critics" lack media literacy so their complaints are utterly surface level.
There are a lot of valid complaints about One Piece.
You'll are weird op is long and boring
Anyone who cites “media literacy” almost universally is a chronically online Redditor
@@beastvicious8672
yeah whenever someone pretends their favorite show/book/etc. is always good and the people who don’t like it are just dumb and wrong, I immediately disregard their take
@@harrylane4 if its a dumb take yes you are dumb
I’m ngl when I was going through One Piece early on, I thought it was very mediocre. Like you couldn’t pay me to sit through Orange Town and Syrup Village again. Now maybe that’s because I watched the anime early on which is known for its notoriously bad pacing, and I guess the manga is a better experience early on, but that’s just how I felt initially going through the beginning. The first arc I truly enjoyed was Baratie and Arlong Park was what made me stay and kept me invested in One Piece. I’m glad I pushed through because One Piece is now my 2nd favorite animanga
What’s your first?

When I started watching One Piece I was hooked and started binge watching it most days. It was just easy to fall in love with these characters. It wasn’t really till the dressrosa arc where I started to slow down. The pacing got even slower than normal. That’s when I started watching it whenever I just felt like it and not just binging it. So I think the main thing is just enjoy it at your pace and don’t force yourself to get caught up. You will get there just enjoy the story and journey it’s taking you on.
The people who say that one piece is boring are just action junkies that only like jjk and demon slayer.
I don’t like either and I find certain arcs in one piece extremely boring.
Same here
@@LilShiro05
@@LilShiro05btw I am in the whole cake island arc
people who say one piece is boring are people who watched the toei anime
They would hate the JJK and DS mangas then.
as someone who used to criticize people for liking one piece, shit talking one piece all the time, and saying it's boring, i can assure you that is NOT the case. One Piece is now my 2nd favorite anime now that I've watched it. I'm all caught up!
When I was watching one piece all the way through, yes I can admit it took a while no duh because it’s over 1,100 episodes. But almost never did I think that it was boring. Granted I caught up alot quicker than I should have catching up fully with the manga and anime about 10 months after episode 1072 aired. Even post timeskip where people say the pacing is awful, I still don’t see what people are taking about, the pacing seems fine to me. I may just be a more patient person though.
I watched One Piece weekly over 13 years now and I have to say Dressrosa was just soooo slow watching 1 episode and waiting a week and in the next episode almost nothing important happened. The pace in the Manga is waaaaay better.
@@tomlion0116 that’s probably true. I only caught up recently, but if I was watching Dressrosa and on weekly, I would probably say the same thing about pacing being off. But now I’m caught up and to me the current anime doesn’t seem that slow to me. But people are entitled to their own opinions.
@@gavin5724 Since Wano the Pacing and Direction made the One Piece anime waaaay better.
As a longtime fan I am truly happy that the series is better and the fanbase is bigger than ever! 😊
Okay you’re just revealing your brain works at .75 playback speed 😂 if you can’t see the pacing issues you are lost
@@Femtoisbackandbetter if others have pacing issues, that’s them. They have the right to complain about it, but the pacing to me doesn’t feel that bad personally.
As a guy who don't really like One Piece, i watched until the Ace moment. Though this was over 10 years ago, maybe i'd enjoy it more now. My first reason is as you covered, that no one dies. Takes away all the tension for me. I don't see the point of the fights or them acting as if their lives are in danger, when they obviously aren't. The tension feels fake becouse of it.
Second reason is the fights. I just didn't think the fights were that good. Compared to Naruto and Bleach, the fights in One Peace just didn't invest me that much. I did like the fight with Luffy and Usopp but other than that i don't recall any fight that hooked me. I have seen some of the most recent fights in top 10's and such and they do look amazing! But that's around 1000 eps into the show. Though again, if no one dies, it loses the tension.
While understanding that people don't die in the show, except 1 person i guess. There should atleast be more consequences for when they get damaged. One example is the Zoro "nothing happened" moment. I really liked that moment, though it kinda got ruined when he was just fine a few days later. They acted like this was a big deal but there wasn't really any consequenses to it. Compare this with Rock Lee's injuries in Naruto. You follow Lee as a criple throughout multiple episodes, feeling his dispair for not being able to fight. How much the surgery weights on him. He does end up getting back to normal but it takes a long time and he had to endure a lot during that time. Where as Zoro just had to sleep and was fine, despite the show giving the impression that this was gonna have huge consequenses.
Fourth reason is i don't like the designs of 80-90% of the characters or some of their expressions. I'm very nitpicky on this stuff with anime in general. If i don't like the way it looks, it's a big hurdle for me to get invested. The strawhats look pretty good but most other characters i'm not a fan. The proportions throw me off and their expressions. If someone is crying they're bawling their eyes out. Rather than having subtle emotions. It's way too over the top with their emotions, doesn't make them feel real and human. Though One Piece does have moments where they nail the expressions and you feel the characters emotions. It's just not very often imo.
The comedy. I most liked the comedy with Zoro and Sanji's banter and some other moments here and there. But other than that it missed for the most. Especially when it comes to Sanji and Brooke. Also other jokes that're way too repetitive. I know it's shounen but the humor often feels like it's aimed at a toddler, with how much it beats it's jokes into the ground. Another pet peeve i have, which is also in other anime. Is when all characters say the same word at the same time. Makes it feel like everyone is a hivemind, rather than people with individual thoughts. I overlook this for the most part but One Peace does this almost every episode.
With all that being said, there are elements, characters and certain moments i like in One Peace. Which is why it's a shame that there's all the issues with it, that i eventually dropped it. I really wanted to like it and was hoping for it to get better over time but i just reached my limit. Got way too repetitive and predictable. I've heard Studio Wit is gonna re-animate it, so might give it another chance whenever that comes out.
Zoro nothing happened did have consequences though. His wounds reopened multiple times during Sabaody and prevented him from fighting.
@@mBluett Being out of battle for a brief moment isn't really a consequence. They acted like it was a much bigger deal than it turned out to be.
I wanted to point out something which is a$$pul in one piece that nightmare luffy form was asspull
I am a guy who got into Jojo instantly. But it took me 10 times to get into One Piece. Saw the first episodes 10 times over many years before deciding to stay with the series. It is EXTREMELY hard to get into.
Jojo isn’t the best comparison, because it’s not really “one manga,” it’s nine with distinct beginnings and endings. Sure, sometimes those tie into each other, but you don’t need much of any knowledge of part 1 to understand part 4, and parts 7-9 are literally disconnected from that universe
It’s probably the easiest long-running manga to get into tbh
A lot of haters lie about watching the show just to say it's boring
I watched 500 eps across 3 years becasue i thought it might get better but sadly it didnt , its a below average anime

While the story sometimes can get kind of formulaic, One Piece got me hooked from the start. To be fair I'm only at Thriller Bark and i take frequent breaks in between sagas to not get burned out, but OP's world building and backstories are some of the best I've seen in shonen.
So far creating deep and complex characters wasn't OP's goal. I feel like its main goal is showing this colorful, creative adventure in a massive world filled with surprises and mysteries.
But I can see why someone would say that the characters are flat. In my opinion it's mostly due to OP's length that leads to rather slow character development.
Every saga so far had a moment that made me very emotional which just shows that you don't need deaths to create emotional scenes.
Good on you! That’s good to do. There’s people who binge endlessly and get burned out. There’s also people who have the mentality of getting through it as quick as possible to get into the current conversation to the point where they just skim through episodes to only get to the “good” parts. The whole point of one piece is a perfect example of it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. Hope you keep going and enjoy it. Take your time and have fun.
All valid points as a relitivley new one piece fan it took me close to three years to catch up. This is due to me droping the anime and reading the manga chapter by chapter via Shonen jumps app. Honestly Luffy and the rest of the crew grow as the reader keeps reading. Good video keeping it up. Will Slam dunk or Blue lock show up on this channell?
Thank you!
I can’t make any promises, but I do wanna try posting videos on them in the near future. Slam Dunk especially.
@@ShonenOuji Awsome.
Took me around 2-3 years too
Nice some times we get more back ground in the manga and appreciate the art more. Such as always looking out for Panda man. @@3rdstrikestan930
For me, i love post-time skip (im currently on Skypiea) but i can understand the problems new fans of the show have. The beginning (at least for me) was quite slow, but now that I'm on Skypiea, I appreciate the humor and the love the team put into the show :D
It’s not that east blue lacks stakes. East blue was more of an origin and also a tame sea in comparison. The stakes got more real once people actually at play in the larger world started interacting with our crew and they made impact. I feel like from a storytelling standpoint it’s a pretty important factor in making later scenes that show the difficulty of achieving their goals hit as hard as they do. Sabaody, namely
It's the most popular serialized manga, one of the top ten most popular works of written fiction in world history, and one of the most popular and long running animated series of all time.
It is literally impossible for everyone to say it is boring, and for it to be so insanely popular.
I don't think characters have to die for a story to have stakes, especially not early on. But for the first fistful of arcs in One Piece, the characters barely even get damaged. They're never in any real danger. So there is little to no tension.
The "slow" parts of One Piece are essential for max enjoyment of the hypest moments. They lay the groundwork, establish the stakes and build the hype. No good story would work if it was at 110% all the time.
Bro nowadays the anime almost caught up the manga that's why it is like that you wait a whole week for a mid-episode after 4 or 6-week letter they will give you a good episode after that the same cycle and slowly turning anime into hanime overall one of the best anime but not the best anime ever.
Yeah, I don't get it either when people say these things about One Piece. Sometimes I wonder too, if we're watching the same show. Lol
One Piece is not long or boring, it just that people nowadays have really bad attetion span
once you catch up you will get various flashbacks about earlier chapters while waiting for the new chapter
I think what makes some people think that there is no character development in One Piece is the fact that most of it is not as spelled out as it would be in other Series. Sometimes you have to sit down and actually think about the changes in character behaviour to actually appreciate a change that you would not pick up on if you were to just binge the whole thing and not leave time to actually appreciate them.
Fact
I thought it looked too goofy and boring when I would see teasers of it on Toonami.
Watched it years later because my cousin was starting it and hated Luffy, loved Zoro. I didn’t like that Luffy just beat all his opponents with relative ease.
Eventually Luffy grew on me and I loved him post Baratie. Now it’s my favorite series and I’m caught up with the manga and anime.
Never felt as many emotions from a series as I did One Piece.
This was a really good analysis or opinion of one pieice
I dont believe anybody watched all of one piece and then said its boring, either they are a hater and they dont even give it a chance or they just think that post-timeskip is bigger and more interesting but that doesnt mean that the beginning is boring
I watched the full anime and I definitely will say it is. The pacing killed sometimes, from making me actually fall asleep to me taking months long breaks in between post TS arcs. I’ve never had this problem with any series aside from OP, even Bleach, Naruto, and Fairytail
Who's this "everyone"?
If it’s a good story it shouldn’t matter how long it is some just don’t have the patience but I say stick with it your patience will be rewarded 😊
They just want death and endless fight scenes
Great video as always 🎉😊
@@bradziehunter910 Thank you so much!
I've been hooked for 20 years and never felt burned out. Week to week since Enies Lobby in the anime and Thriller Bark in the manga. I've read, watched and dropped many series, but only One Piece and Kingdom have maintained my interest for a long period. I did read Attack on Titan from around chapter 5 but because of the monthly manga release and seasonal anime it kinda stayed in the background like a few others
I went into it not knowing it was considered super good. Just that it was over 1000 episodes. I assumed it even had an ending.
I was in it for the journey not the end. Only regret I have is having watched it instead of reading it.
That's not true reading wano arc, egghead arc is same as watching it uninteresting 👎
@@MuhammadAreeb-qk9zc egghead is way intresting if you read one piece fights sorry op isnt that type of manga
@@stark014 I watched Marineford arc I loved it water seven impel down arabasta punk hazard all are great except egghead and arc wano arc thriller bark was also ok
I loved One Piece from the start. Almost 20 years I haven’t stopped. I don’t want it to go back to the old style exactly. I like the modern flashy stuff. But I do wish we still got more classic one piece episodes. The art. The tone. The pacing. And some of my favorite scenes are still pre-Skip. Luffy and Nami and the hat. The fight with usopp. “I want to live”. Now we get amazing world building reveals and larger scale fights though, so I can’t complain. I just want both lol
apparently when the story was in alabasta, that was around when 9/11 happened in America. and that influenced oda to keep pell alive. even if it was a bad writing decision.
don't forget about Igaram either. he should have died in that boat explosion.
i don't dislike luffy, but i am not interested in him, story is far too long and he hasn't changed enough for me. i am tired of his character. it's great when we great a break from him to focus on any other character.
i was not a fan of one piece when i initially watched it, and i even finished arlong park. it was good , but i didn't feel it was worth the investment of time because of it being a lot longer than a normal show. it wasn't until later when i came across an AMV showing characters on the brink of death and fight scenes from enies lobby. that i gave it another chance. and i eventually fell in love with it.
the story has flaws but the world building, amazing locations, and sense of adventure keep me going. there is no other manga that comes close to it in these aspects.
and then there are the emotional moments.
i find the action and especially comedy less of a reason to read the series, they are the weaker aspects of it to me.the fights are more about the emotional pay off than enjoying the fight itself a lot of the time. especially if it isn't luffy and zoro who get the most screen time in battles after some point.
4:03 i thought he lost his leg in the water trying to save child sanji or is that just an anime thing
An anime thing.
I feel like it's only boring if you go into it thinking it's boring. Mindset changes everything. I went in knowing that I had a bunch of friends who absolutely love it so that's how I thought about it and it made it so much better!
Honestly all of those are non-issues. The 'slow' pacing is not the animes problem but rather a problem of the audience (the TikTok generation part of the audience to be precise). The overstimulation caused the kids to have attention spans of fruit flies and shut their brains down when nothing is happening for 2 seconds. Truly sad in fact.
The 'no stakes' nonsense can be explained with the misconception death=stakes. Stakes are built up in OP by many other means than just cheap shock value through death other shows rely on. The no one dies 'problem' is explained by intrinsic rules of OP world (durability, DF etc).
Regarding the OP characters I don't even know where to start. The show has some of the most complex and deep characters out there, character development goes through the roof as well. Now, obviously, with 1000+ characters in the show, you can't give everyone realistic personas/personalities.
OP got the hypest, most badass, emotional moments, plethora of layers, best comedy. And don't get me started on lore, world building and themes of the show. It'll be the greatest piece of fiction once it's finished. To many it is already, numbers don't lie.
it has the worst pacing

6:40 that’s I think part of Oda’s genius. I think he was aware that people would complain that some characters had to die.
But when it came, it came HARD.
Tbh I just like watching the One Piece fights that CZcams creators compile cutting out all the other stuff besides the fights. As a Dragon Ball, DBZ, ect fan I get arcs and fights getting drawn out. When I was trying to get through One Piece I was falling asleep half way through episodes but maybe that was just from binge watching. I slowly got caught up and it’s fun. The pacing is wild though.
nobody says that
Its trash
Best alternative for nyquil
It’s an extremely common take, mostly because toei did a trash job at adapting
Nobody says what?
Since i watched it as a kid, i’ve always enjoyed One Piece. The Characters, the Story, the World to explore along with the sense of Adventure, how they all come to life is such a great feeling.
When you see the web Oda has weaved for the past 27 years its incredible how it all connects, especially with the most recent arc.
I always defined One Piece as one of the Greatest JRPGs of all time. It has everything that makes a JRPG. Gain “Party Members”, Unlock New Moves, Explore New Areas, Discover Lore, Gain Allies etc…
I think the problem is the “Online” Personas Warring over whats better/mid and the rapid decline of attention spans.
- Art Style Bad = Not Edgy enough
- Too Goofy = Not Edgy Enough
- Boring doesn’t get good until later = Not Enough Fights spawning every second
- Too Many Episodes = Lack of Attention Span, wanting to skip to the current Sakuga content and being unable to appreciate everything else but the Action.
- Its Trash = My Favorite Anime is a Rival to this Anime and no matter the similarities, not allowed to compliment the “Enemy” (Ex: Naruto vs One Piece, My Hero vs Jujutsu Kaisen etc…)
- Main Protag is a Bitch = Not allowed to display emotions unless its Rage
While this is what i have gathered when it comes to people who hate One Piece, most of this applies to other Anime/Manga, Especially those who mention any of these complaints while not giving the series an actual shot and is just regurgitating the excuses they heard online.
X for example, probably the most Toxic thing that is killing the Culture of Anime/Manga today, Reaction Channels of Various Anime that literally soar past points and moments, explanations etc… (its baffling how much people don’t pay attention or don’t care about anything without action, cringy at times…) Talk about the Fights in JJK and then watch them struggle immensely to tell you about the plot, the goals of certain characters, characters that don’t fight lol etc…
And i definitely don’t wanna get into the disgusting Wars EX: JJK is Mid, Sakamoto is Peak, Boruto is Trash, My Hero could never etc… or even the constant Toxic Powerscaling. EX: “Sakura can solo the entire Bleach Verse, these people are like 30+ talking like this.
I don’t expect people who act like this to genuinely appreciate something like One Piece or even other Anime/Manga for that matter. Their Toxic Bias makes them irrelevant.
Sadly, i believe its an incurable Cancer that has struck the Anime/Manga Community.
I started it in February and I'm on episode 640..I like the first 100 episodes because that's how I fell in love with the crew..this by far is better than any show on T.V. right now..I'm glad I didn't watch until my 40s cause I can appreciate it more
my first impression of one piece was people saying its horrible, but a friend of mine who watched all of it told me that it was actually really good, later I saw the first opening and started watching it simply because I fell in love with the east blue saga.
In what way is Luffy never losing refreshing? That's a very common trope and gets old fast.
It isn't boring but the pacing can be slog to get through sometimes i get burned out from the show and take a break rn im taking a break since i finished dressrosa i think illl start back today
Not liking luffy as a character because he’s “boring” is nefarious
Anime becomes boring because of the horrible pacing.
But the manga is 🔥🤌
Yeah true it might seem hard but without starting it one cannot truly know.
Awesome video again❤
The appeal to One Piece is that the MCs and the villains are in the same place but we don’t know when or how they are going to run into each other
Ahem, *they haven't watched/read it.* and thats why they say that shi.
I'd say Oda isn't afraid to kill characters anymore tho!
It's not a fact. It's just their opinion and they are entitled to it. TBH, I like one piece but it's hard to go back and binge when there are other distractions (other animes) to watch.
One Piece is the definition of a slow burn. Oda really takes his time with the story. I always tell people if you're not hooked by Baratie or Arlong Park, drop the series, it's not for you.
It's hard for me to get into OP because I hate the art style and it's hard for me to take anything seriously. It's just so ugly plus the fandom are such elitist assholes it pushes me away from getting into it.
Dude, in my opinion, for those people decided to watch anime over reading the manga, they can't complaint how long it is or the pacing is terrible. They chose their poison and they have to live with it.
When started One Piece, I found a volume belonging to my younger brother at my parent's house. I think it was Enies Lobby, and eventhough I didn't know any characters, I found the story resonate with me, I started to watch the anime from episode 1. It took me few days till I realise, I don't have time for this. So I started to read from chapter 1, saw the differences not just in pacing but in story telling especially Baratie arc where Zeff cut his own leg so that Sanji won't starve to death.
It took me less than 10 minutes to read a chapter compare to 30 minutes for an episode. If I miss anything, I can always read the manga page, instead to wait a scene to play out. Second time reread One Piece is much easier too.
It is just really, really, really fucking long and they are milking every episode nowadays with completely unnecessary flashbacks and they reuse footage like 10-20 times between like 15 episodes. They now have flashbacks of what happened 5 minutes ago and it replays the same scene that you just fucking saw. If i ever see the happy people celebrating and having fun at onigashima fair one more time (its been like 20 times already) i will loose my shit.
Gotta start off saying I’ve never heard anyone say it’s boring, just long
It is not boring from the start it was great till dressrosa arc after dressrosa arc it is boring as fck Tbh naruto episode 1 and 2 are boring but that's not the case with one piece early seasons of op were very good and addictive
@@MuhammadAreeb-qk9zcI liked the Zou arc too because it introduced my favourite character who made me wanna start watching the show in the first place but after that I didn’t care for it too much.
Sweet! One piece content. Been missing your takes on this. Kind of fell off when you went to other anime.
One Piece is the best selling manga (and comic book) series of all time, has a 20+ year long anime, 14+ movies, multiple stage plays, themed restaurants, video games, spin-off manga, at least one novel, a surprisingly well received live-action version, and a whole new anime being helmed by a different studio.
"Everyone says One Piece is boring" is simply not true at all. A loud minority may call it boring, but statistically it's not even close to everyone.
For context: One Piece has sold more manga copies than there are people living in the United States. By a lot.
One piece is hard to get into because of the shows cycle tone cycle. Each arc starts with very goofy world building that transition into an epic Main story line. On first viewing you have no idea that the goofy world building is setting up epic things to come later in the arc.
That cycle is important to the shows long lasting appeal though as you don't get burned out on a single tone over the 1000 episodes.
it was 2 chapters per episode. normal pacing. 100 chapters adapted in 44 episodes.
This word "Everyone," I don't think it means what you think it means.
I think it depends on the medium. For some, like me, the Manga works much better. For others, the anime. For instance, to this day the Alabasta arc is one of my favorites. But in the anime I could never get past episode 100. It's not until I started watching the reaction videos of Haylo and Kiss that I started following along with the anime as well. In Skypea right now with the show while just finished chapter 1000 in the manga.
Its crazy that people say that considering East Blue Saga is one of the best Saga in the story. I always argue its amazing from the start.
Because of the short attention span of the tiktok generation we will probably never see a story like One Piece again. A story that takes its time to develop its world and overarching narrative instead of rushing from action scene to action scene asap just to keep the readers invested. One Piece should be treasured for that reason.
to fix the pacing problem, we really want one piece to take a break from airing, so that the content gap in the manga is not too close and the animation studio can better adapt the anime. however, the one piece ip is very big & very profitable for the 3 companies that currently hold the one piece anime license, namely shueisha, fuji tv, and toei animation. if one piece takes a break, maybe its sponsor will be lost, without sponsors one piece might not air again.
Even Luffy didn't want them to join his crew
It's just facts that it's not an east series to get into and it's more exhausting to consume compare to Bleach and Naruto's flaws.
But still I'm trying to get through it as I can, (I'm currently in Dressrosa).
Watching one piece feels like warching indian dramas for 65% of the time. I wont hear yall. The anime pacing is mostly shit.
1997, 27 years. That's quite some time
now to be fair. one piece taking lots longer time due original writers man himself want his storytelling us, world building/character development and his original arts style throughout change year. New people they're into one piece and modern anime today. I actually enjoy dragon ball super anime version. but. There lot issues. Reality. Everyone different their own opinion.
One piece is peak
The people who say it's boring haven't fully tried yet, and once you catch up, you wish it was way longer than it is rn also I usually say give it a try until Arlong Park or even Alabasta but if it's not truly clicking for you then OP ain't for you whether anime or manga or both at that point.
I agree. If you don’t like One Piece after Baratie, I don’t understand what changes so much hundreds of chapters later.
@@ShonenOujisome people say that one piece gets good at water 7/ enies lobby or at post time skip. I’ve even heard that some people say to just skip to the timeskip and go from there. Either those people aren’t fans, are just insane, or just joking, that’s ridiculous to think about. Like you said I really started to like one piece when it got to baratie. It when arcs like Alabasta, skypeia, and enies lobby where I enjoyed it even more.
I saw a comment once where someone said that they think other people think One Piece is boring because they hear about the hype moments. The big fights, the really emotional parts, etc. Then they start watching only waiting to get there. They don't watch the show to enjoy it but rather to get to those big moments. The whole show is enjoyable but they just want BOOM BOOM BANG! This show is 100% enjoy the journey. Some people just want the payoff
Edit - lol. I should have waited till the end to leave my comment. He said exactly this in the video. My bad
@@NeoNineOne those people don’t I feel don’t get the right to call themselves one piece fans if they watch or read one piece for that reason. Are those moments awesome? Hell yeah, but that isn’t the main purpose of the series.
@gavin5724 Gatekeeper much. To be fair a 100 volumes is pretty intimidating.
Onigashima sucked ngl that why I started hating one piece here me out there was some cool moments but damn dat shit was boring and the pacing 🤦
Joyboy is cools and the mysterious and everything but damn, onigashima made me loose interest in one piece but one nice thing is that I check the manga for new chapters
I'm currently reading it for the first time, midst whiskey peak as of writing this, and I get that East Blue is the 'prologue' but it doesn't feel that way. To me, the Prologue is the first volume, its fairly isolated and kinda sets the status quo for the rest of the series, and it's a breezy read, nearly on par with the first part of the Naruto manga. So I can't really agree that the series is slow, it's just long.
One piece is a vibe
its funny there was a moment when i watched like 30+ chapters per day and i was so hooked. 🥰
For me the problem is pacing.I wish Wit to fix the pacing and give justice to characters for example they always portray Sanji as a bad character but in reality Sanji in manga is well written.
Most people who say that haven’t even gotten to arlong park
I don’t think anyone has ever been talking about the manga when they complain about pacing. That’s an anime adaptation issue.
I'm impressed no one figured...
I won't say its boring. But i have had no incentive to pick it up again since the day i dropped it. Not even gear 5 could get be back. I don't think I'll ever get back into one piece and I'm still in wholecake. O give up
My freind read the manga and he couldn't reach along park cuz it was too boring
Sanji is my favourite straw hat and i really hate how aftet the time skip his gags are ultra exagerated, before he was a cool playboy now he is just down bad, i always thought its gonna get better after a while💀
anime pacing is bad while every arc of one piece is just perfect
Yes there are like 3 or 4 fights or moment that feel like just finish this already but in a story of more than 1000 eps its just 1 percent
Last thing manga is more intense than anime
All arcs are abslout trash
Wano sucked and was rushed. It will be forever a blunder in the story.
I don’t mind Sanji much, my issue is that he’s constantly having nosebleed gags which had become overkill post Fishman Island arc. He sort of lost most of his chill.
It wasn't boring, but after Reverie, it definitely feels boring.
honestly the only reason i watch one piece is for the humor. show is very funny... oh and nami and robin 😍 lord that man oda knows exactly what he's doing 😮💨😮💨😮💨
I'd honestly say one piece gets way worse after the timeskip
people that say it boring is only people that can't even reach 25% of one Piece episode.
It gets good from the episode one
Imo the best way to get into One Piece is just to start and read/watch it. (Whichever is best for you, ideally read it or One Pace, regular anime is unwatchable) Go into it open minded, and remember you don’t need to watch ALL of it. And try to avoid videos talking about it. The fan base can set your expectations too high. The fan base is known to be annoying but it’s because they’re so passionate for such a gigantic series. If you’re not interested by Alabasta or Water 7, don’t be ashamed to call it quits there.
Just wait for the Netflix onepiece version will fix the issues
Imagine having to wait for Netflix to fix your issues...
The reason we dont like Sanji is cos of the heart island stuff and the okami stuff. His Respect Women juice was charming for the most part but why does he have to be transphobic?
In fact... He is a *horrible* character in New World right up until Whole Cake Island where he's finally written as a character again and not just a joke.
I think all told Sanji is a better character than Zorro in new world but Sanji has a lot of Ls for each of his Ws, both in-universe and writing wise. Zorro is all W all the time in universe but lacks personality, to the extent people argue about whatever few lines he has and whether it's consistent (see recent update where he spoke coldly of Vegapunk's death). So it really didn't take much for me to like Sanji more than Zorro.
I really like Usopp because he's a true coward, but he always tries anyway, and he accomplishes great things exactly because of the kind of person he is. I think it's delightful whenever Usopp gets a fight. What's odd is he's the only Strawhat in the past... three arcs since Dressrosa who has NOT had any kind of good fight. I'm holding out for him in this arc.
Who is ‘everyone’?
One piece is traash
@@axinfurnus3727It's not for small-brainers anime is bad adaptation
But manga is peak
@@stark014 i read a couple of arcs in the manga and the pacing is much better but still it feels like a filler
