| I'm happy that it's still alive, didn't go downhill like bleach. The author is absolutely talented. Granted, there are room to improve so it's fine if a theme is taken out from one piece and explored more in a new show. I hope I don't get flak for this but I'm one of the few who didn't like jack sparrow pirate movies. Upon watching one piece, I tend to like more pirates stuff in anime. I started watching it on enies lobby arc then I finished up watching the rest. It was hard to like the art style at first I'm not gonna lie. It wasn't Luffy that made me stick to it, it was the whole crew. |
| It's a nice show for kids I guess, since it has a lot of episodes and constant plot or something |
 |
| Not a fan of the first arcs after the timejump. The few first arcs is really bad and way to long. You can ignor 30 eps in Dressrosa Arc and they still stand on the same spot and talking about what to eat. But before that, I woud say OP is a good shounen with nice feels to it. Woud rather watch OP then Naruto and Bleach. |

| I like the odd and unique artstyle,along with the extremely varied character designs and of course the really creative and imaginative worldbuilding.Maybe the pacing in the anime is not the best,but it´s still fun to watch regardless,because there is always multiple subplots going on with different characters which is enough to keep your attention on what´s going on.I will say though that i like some arcs more than others,wether it would be because of the characters involved,or my investment in the actual storyline within that arc.To me the Alabasta arc felt painful to go through because they spent lots of episodes traveling through the desert which was an extremely boring setting in terms of creative potential,and i also didn´t care for Vivi that much as a character.I love how the series gets wackier and weirder as the series go on,i find it really fun how off the walls it can be sometimes,the author clearly doesn´t hold back in introducing as many crazy concepts as possible.The adventure aspect of it works great in keeping things refreshing,since unlike in other shounen(such as Naruto) they are not stuck in the same old boring setting,and keep going to new places. I just really like how it can have really deep themes,while still keeping a lighthearted tone. |

| I like the story, makes it continuously enjoyable to read. Nice characters too. But the anime looks sloppy and is too drawn out. |
| can dis sig fit |
| the pacing of the anime in the past couple years have ruined the anime. i understand why they have to do it this way to stay behind the manga, but.. it's been ruined in the process in my opinion. if one piece followed the format of my hero academia or even fairy tail, i think it would be far better off than just pushing out a subpar episode every week for the last 20 years. i'm sure the manga is still quality, but i just don't read any manga these days ever since tg:re ended. |

Yeaah Art style getting terrible I wonder what the heck in Oda-Sensei head ruined his style like that. 3. It's proper good anime. |

| It's one of my favourite anime and manga. I love it because for me it's a series that can only get better as it goes on with all the amount of wordbuilding and characters it has, and the series constantly building in tension and suspense as it continues to grow on it's huge scale. It's also one of the few ongoing shounen that feels like it already has everything planned out. I do think it is overrated though, and that nostalgia plays a MASSIVE part in a lot peoples ratings. I find it quite funny that people think it is the best shounen lol, it's lacking in a lot for me personally, despite how much I love it. |
 |
| I like how the author of OP doesn't forget characters or plot points that easily, so it's always very satisfying when an old character comes back after many years or when a mystery that was hinted at the beginning gets finally revealed. Also, One Piece has an amazing world and lore. Things I don't like about the series: Pacing issues, fights are a little basic and usually not very strategic, also most female characters are nothing more than eye candy (this wasn't such a big problem at the beginning, but over time it became worse and worse). |
UnipolarUnicorn said: I absolutely adore OP! My biggest gripe is I wish there were more strong female main characters aside from Robin and Vivi (although Nami is toughening up). Oda has done better over the past few years though. Otherwise, engaging story and the art suits it so well! Definitely my favorite manga, and I am glad it is so lengthy. Did you forget about Boa Hancock,and the whole island of women,Amazon lily? |
|
| I like it, I drooped the anime but I am up to date with the manga. the anime after the time skip is just unbearable the pace is awful and the animation don't help either, the manga got some flaws too because it so large a lot of minor plot lines tend to repeat themselves every single arc especially after the time skip (Luffy is imprisoned every arc for a few chapters/episodes, the crew split up, meet up again and then split one more time and etc..). I think that the slow pace is what makes the story unique yes it's tedious but it's amazing how fleshed out the each island, the factions that inhabit it and the dozens of characters inside a specific faction can be. |

Okay, I love long Shounen, but that means ~ 200-300 episodes, not crawling near the thousands. I would be okay with something I followed right from the start / with an episide cpunt around 100, but since I maybe watched five OP episodes in my life, I'd had to bingewatch it fully. I mean, it's still pretty good that he planned it like that, although other anime like Conan don't need an end. It's good to watch here and there an episode, since it just has an episodic structure. 2. I meant, I never liked it. 3. That's your opinion on it, not mine, dear. xD Anyway this "it's not like the others of its kind" is always meeh. You want respect for what you like, so do others the favor in return. Also if you don't know the majority of the others. And eh no, I haven't seen Bleach, Naruto or Fairy Tail for example either, because I got no motivation for them. I will watch Hunter x Hunter, so I could tell then. YOOSSS~ HxH I wonder Togashi up to that..

UnipolarUnicorn said: Missaliensan said: Oh, you’re right! Guess I forgot Monet too. And Carrot and Wanda aren’t so bad either. It is ones like Rebecca, Conis, and Keimi that stick out as weaker to me. But yeah, guess this nullifies my gripe, haha!Did you forget about Boa Hancock,and the whole island of women,Amazon lily? I can see how you can feel like that given the overwhelming amount of male characters compared to female characters.I don’t really have a problem with that though,given my preference for male characters in general. |

| Incredible world building and characters and unique atmosphere/ambience The story itself is quite interesting and dares to introduce some mature plots, but it isn't a masterpiece There's maaany interesting characters in the show, the main crew is likeable but I think they lack a little character developments However the anime is reaaaaally dragged and some episodes are painfully slow (the pacing is actually this anime's biggest weakness imo) and the animation after the timeskip is sometimes quite lazy. The current Wano Arc has a beautiful artsyle however, but it's still average sometimes |
| It's decent but easier to read the manga. I don't like the pacing of the anime that much. But I did love the ASL arc...ugh too many feels. Oda's talent scares me. Lol how does he remember such a huge cast...that's some crazy shit. |

RANDTREEEE said: However the manga, is different. One Piece is not a regular shounen like Naruto and Bleach. It's the story that makes it good. Not really the fights like other shounen. The story has VERY deep plots. You read more and you discover clues about that funky world. The more you read the more you find. There are several storyline hidden inside the main story that you find out as Luffy to reach his goal. Oda is just soo good at hiding them and eventually revealing these clues that he hid sometimes right at the beginning of One Piece. The is nothing deep in One Piece, wtf. There is a well prepared foreshadowing and a better world building that most of the shonen but it's not deep at all. For answer to the question, the anime is pretty bad. It's more difficult to talk about the manga because it has lot of qualities and lot of defaults too. I think it's a good shonen but there is a lot of disinteresting moments. So will say that it's ok. |

The episodes showing Luffy's childhood were good.I agree though, the man has such a vast imagination, it's crazy how easily he can pump out a ton of characters that are memorable just based off design.I feel like even if people dislike the artstyle because it's not their thing(most criticism points out that it's too cartoony) ,it's good to acknowledge the sheer amount of talent that goes behind it. |

| There's two things I really love about One Piece: The incredibly vast and rich worldbuilding and the neverending amount of characters development expanding on a tree-like layout. These two elements combined make the story a lot better which would be otherwise quite mediocre. |
| Literally the only thing I hate about One Piece is how many episodes it has. And believe me, I'm no stranger to long running shounen series. D.Gray-Man, Hitman Reborn, Hunter X Hunter (2011),Jojo, Fairy Tail, Bleach, Dragon Ball Z Kai + Dragon Ball Super, Naruto + Shippuuden (including all the fucking filler). I've watched them all, but One Piece is too fucking much for me. |
| For the manga, it has quality writing but it is too long that makes people think it has no progression. |

Theres a difference buddy boy. One piece is not deep in terms of themes i agree since its a shounen and all. But the world is very well crafted and oda always adds more onto the plot with each arc that passes by, that i would consider deep |
| no |
| the manga is a lot better than the anime but the anime is quite decent too toei's productive virtue has been diminishing ever since the timeskip thankfully they changed some of the staff for wano what's truly magical about one piece is the worldbuilding its very well established through the premises and the interplay between characters and events besides, the combat system(devil fruits) is one of the most creative in my opinion so are the fights among the devil fruit users |

| Shouldn't it be on the one piece thread? Get a lot of individual anime threads nowadays in the general discussions. The thing that keeps me from watching it is the no of episodes. I always hear good reviews about it, but whenever I see the episode count, my head starts spinning and I turn away from it. Lol By the way, I wonder whether it is really that good or the good reviews are only because only the fans are watching and very less no of casual anime fans. |
| SAO PROGRESSIVE ANIME HYPE |
| It's a great manga though I haven't read it in a few years. I plan to catch up eventually. The pacing got pretty bad after the time skip. Specifically The Fish man Island and Punk Hazard Arcs. That's mainly though because I was reading it weekly so it makes something that's already slow even slower. . Arcs tend to really drag out on a weekly basis but if you wait for them to finish and then watch/read you'll have a better time |

There is lots of people that watch other anime and also watch one piece.People's reasons for praising the show are legitimate,and it's also coupled with criticism as you can see so it's not like people are just blindly praising it because they are fans. |

| I like some arcs like amazon lily, but most arcs are very boring like the 1st arc after the time skip in the underwater place. I do not care for the pacing of the series which is further extended due to the success of the manga. The characters almost never develop with the exception of Usopp. I consider it a average shounen. |
 |
| Great manga, great writing, vast world, immense building, good characters, good protagonist, insane amount of detail and care within the sagas, the best foreshadowing I have ever seen, and overall good moments. Okay fights. The anime is very mediocre, specially after the timeskip. The pacing is horrible and the voice acting for Luffy is a little bit painful. Also, the ost sometimes does not make sense within the moment that it has been used for. BTW however said that OP is not deep may not payed attention to the whole point of Marie Jois, the Fishmen, Amazon Lily and Punk Hazard. |
| I love it. After more than 900 chapters, with its highs and lows, breaks every 2-3 weeks, crazy theories around the internet, an anime that remained solid and entertaining for more than 15 years before becoming totally unwatchable, and a fandom that can be both amazing and obnoxious, I can say One Piece is my favorite Battle Shounen of all time and still one of my fav manga/anime to day. It's definitely an experience, and despite the intimidating number, One Piece is quite an easy binge tbh. It's such an addictive series with lots of fun but also emotional moments that'll leave you crying like a baby :) |
| The slowness of this show is a meme. They can fit two or three manga pages into 30 anime episodes lol. Despite all its good points there are too many stupid and cringy moments, lame asspulls, retarded behavior etc. Lately I couldn't recover after that horrible battle Luffy vs Katakuri and finally dropped this wretched show for good. Yeah, I kinda regret spending my time on 900 episodes while I could read manga and save many hours or even ignore the whole franchise. |
 |
| I don't like the art style, the end is nowhere in sight (including the manga), and it's too long, so I won't bother watching or reading one piece (not that it seemed interesting to me to begin with). |
