| I have watched some great mind fucking shows like Eva and Serial experiments lain, but nothing comes close to this "kid" anime. I've watched over 1000 episodes and read 1000+ chapters, i still can't understand what Oda is trying to achieve. When I started watching OP 9 years ago, it was just a stupid battle shonen about pirates searching for treasure. But now, we have time travel, giant mecha robots, multi-dimensional bullshit, gods and goddesses, and the world of OP isn't even the real world. |
| Is One Piece an elitist anime? Yea, One Piece is quite good lets hope oda keeps up his shit until the end, I thought the same about the anime its good solid 4/10 maybe, most likely a 2/10 but thats good for me believe me! hope the best for Oda and the story! |
| didnt know the story of one piece becomes science fiction now |
| I do not think OP is a elitist anime. Many casual anime fans like OP which is perfectly OK. It has really poor pacing that definitely keeps it out of the top anime for me. Pre time skip content is excellent though. |
 |
| One Piece is the type of anime that appeals to both casual and elitist tourists. Death Note used to be this way too, but elitists decided to hate it recently for some reason. Elitists think that they are better than everyone else, and despise anything fun. Elitists also love anything with a "political message", and no matter what side it is actually trying to appeal to, elitists will claim that it is arguing for their side. |
| No one piece is literally one of the most populist anime that exists |
| Sometimes you just want to hear anime girls squeak and squeal |
| What oda is trying to achieve? To tell a fun story, what else? |
 |
| Probably the opposite of elitist, I guess. |
 |
| Oda's just tryna justify his thirst for Che Guevara and any communist revolutionary. |
 |
| "Is One Piece an elitist anime?" Not at all. |
 |
| What I'm getting is that the requirement for something to be elitist is to put as much weird shit as possible in it. So does that make Darling in the Franxx elitist? |

| How could one of the most widely known anime worldwide possibly be elitist? |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| i saw couple of netflix episode of one piece, i would say watch the live shows and then continue watching anime from where the shows left off because old anime quality might be too hard to swallow for new fans. I'm on the "first half" of wano arc, they be dragging the shows like they're preparing one piece for our grandchildren to watch. I would argue that the filler gets worse as the show goes on. one "arc character" that's memorable for me so it's a bit of a tough ride but it's almost like they knew fans are gonna watch it all anyway cause of the incoming epic fight anyway. on topic, i would say any general target audience anime like literally battle shounen as described by many is not an elitist because it's not hard to watch this. just get a rope and a bag of chips for your target. |
| I dont think art is really made to appeal to "elitists", so no. |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| No, I think not. It is a very long anime, however, and asks for an incredible investment of your time at some rough estimate of 425+ hours as of now. I personally have no interest in anything belonging to the Refuses to Die club; Dragon Ball, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Detective Conan/Case Closed--if it is on the air for more than a hundred hours then it has almost certainly overstayed its welcome. |
| A bait thread made by an alt acc, what else is new? |
| It's the exact opposite. The epitome of non-elitist. |
| No, it's a battle shounen made for the lowest common denominator. Quite the opposite of "elitist". |
| No, but some of it's fans might be... |
| No idea; I feel like an elitist for refusing to watch it though. |
and i guess that i just don't know |
| Not really, to be honest, lots of Casual and mainstream anime fans watch it |
 |
| One Piece is a story about adventure, that's all there is to it, really. Oda doesn't seem to be trying to "achieve" anything in particular. The themes of freedom, anti-authority, and found family have been reinforced well enough time and time again, so there's really nothing left to "prove" except to see if Oda can stick the landing on this incredible voyage he's taken us all on. Not sure what the post has to do with the title, though, at all. |
"Dreams are worth fighting for" |
| "Is One Piece an elitist anime?" As elitist as a cheese burger. |
| "Is One Piece an elitist anime?" No, but some one piece fans yes they are ( pretty much like any other fanbase). |
| If you've read 1000 chapters and don't even have an idea of what message Oda sends and the themes he explores each arc, then I really don't think you were ready for SEL and Evangelion lol Look up similar anime to Eva and SEL and actually spend time watching what you might like. |

| No, not at all, probably one of the best known. Even if having seen all the episodes is not something for everyone. Those who have seen it all either started a long time ago and never stopped or have a lot of free time. It's like watching 90+ seasonal anime or at least 150 movies. Watching it is the time equivalent of more than two months of full-time work. From this point of view it is certainly elitist. |
| How could you come to such thought? One Piece is undoubtedly a normie anime. Plebs watch One Piece, not elite. |
 |
| There is no such thing as an elitist anime. Period. |

All of that said, I find it pretty odd how certain anime like One Piece and Hunter x Hunter ended up famous in these circlejerks. Like, why is battle shonen being considered high art?

| @0063873192871 It's a very select few battle shonen elitists love, and they despise the rest, especially Naruto, Dragon Ball, Pokemon, and MHA. Oddly, while these elitists point out Pokemon's flaws, they often still watch it, but only the 4kids dub. The battle shonen they seem to love are One Piece, Hunter x Hunter, FMAB, Attack on Titan, and Demon Slayer. Elitists can't think for themselves, so they only watch the anime that critics rate the highest. They also love ATLA and claim it is an anime, even though it was made in America. |

@ForgotEyeWasHere Are FMAB and AoT Battle shonens, though?
Agree with the rest. I always find it funny when you call out their hypocrisy on this subject, only for them to accuse you of liking some other battle shonen, but in reality you don't like any of them.

| @0063873192871 A "battle shounen" is just a shounen that's heavy on the action scenes, and both of those have enough action to qualify, to me at least. |
