Every single arc is formatted the same way. If you had a checklist, im pretty sure every arc would have the following things:

- Luffy being dumb, more focused on food than anything
- Nami getting mad and hitting Luffy every other conversation
- Zoro getting his ass pummeled but still winning
- Luffy being absent until main villain
- Usopp being a coward
- Generic female side character per arc

250 episodes in now, the show is extremely predictable and feels like its just copy and pasted. No characters other than Nami have seen any type of character development. You look at other shows like HxH and MHA with a variety of different structures and themes to their arcs, and compare it to One Piece which is still doing the same thing 200+ episodes later

I mean hey you’re 250 eps in if you really don’t like it you don’t have to keep watching. I’m pretty close to caught up with the series and I think you’re in water seven-ennies lobby I think that’s plenty to say you don’t like the show I’d say at least Finish ennies lobby at most but that’s a pretty light suggestion no pressure I don’t really know what to say other than that anime should be something you enjoy and if you don’t don’t watch the show that’s it

When it comes to story, characters, and worldbuilding, One Piece offers the bare minimum, and its business model is to just drag out and tease everything, typical format of a soap opera, so that only the last panel or cliffhangers might be considered progression, and even those lumped together end up being pandering with very little time given to any substance... so it's just fights and banter.

Also, it employs many 'pseudos': callbacks (pseudo foreshadowings) and plot re-skins (pseudo worldbuilding) and others that might impress the lowest common denominator.

I mean there is the manga it’s definitely much better pacing wise and much more concise but if your problem is with the characters I don’t Know maybe if you found a character you haven’t met yet that’s kinda what made me like the show I desperately wanted to meet like brook and Kidd(who you probably don’t know) and I knew I’d like them that kinda helped me but I don’t know it might be a little expensive if you’re not pirating it but I mean it’s a show about pirates isn’t it

ive seen some of the later on stuff plot wise, and it really is just pseudo-worldbuilding. they move on from one group of villains, make stronger ones, rebrand their name, and repeat the cycle in a 100 episode arc.

thats pretty much all modern shounen for you, they don't even try with the story

they just give the normies what they want which is cool fights and they get all the praise for it, no incentive for making great stories anyomore

as a caught up guy;
i can say the same shit is happening till now.
actually, post-time skip arcs will be worse as a whole, all you get is a cool scene or two every arc and maybe a small hint about the one piece world.
and you will not get any noticeable character development, so don't put your expectations high in that regard.
but i guess try to keep watching (reading is more recommended) till marineford arc which is a good arc and my favorite in one piece and doesn't have any of the things u mentioned in the checklist.


i have heard that a majority of one piece fans liked pre time skip a lot more. post time skip seems to manage to drag things out a lot

Oh the classic " one piece gets good after 500 episodes "

if you are truly trying to justify a story being generic for more than 40 hours of watchtime, idk what to tell u

it's good from episode 1 but gets great from water 7 arc but i don't expect someone who overrates demon slayer but drops FMAB and gives death note a 6 to comprehend with that

This is getting ridiculous now. If you're going to criticize One piece for being formulaic, i'd expect the same judgement when considering HXH and FMAB. As much as i like these two shows, i can admit that they have artificial characters who are perhaps even more one-dimensional than One piece characters. HXH side characters are mostly bland. Even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to name five HxH side characters who genuinely made me emphasize with them and had enough character development to care about them. They might've had interesting personalities but they weren't explored enough as far as the anime goes. It feels like characters like Leorio, Hisoka, Wing, Chrollo, etc just come and disappear from the show never to be seen again until it's convenient to shoe horn them.

You're over 200 episodes in and you think it's only Nami who has gotten character development? Baratie arc with both Sanji and Zoro. I'd say that's massive character development with both of them. What about Usopp and Chopper in the Baroque works arc? Luffy in Long ring long land in his skirmish with Aokiji and realizes that he is still weak when he's completely obliterated by him. I'd say that's some massive character development as well. Literally all the straw hats to date have gone through some kind of character development throughout their introductions, and the majority have had the development of their characters serve as the main narrative in at least one arc. Character development in One piece comes in the form of drastic situations, backstories, and how the characters react to certain situations. You can't tell me that after watching 250 episodes you don't see much change between the main characters.

I can't argue with you if you think One piece is entirely predictable as that is a subjective take. The fights are predictable, that goes for every single battle shounen. I still think there are a lot of aspects of One piece that can't easily be predicted. These vary from shocking revelations relating to the story's lore to moments that truly shook the fanbase.

Most of these aren't even formats of the arcs themselves, just character personality traits. Your complaint has some merit in the case of major arcs usually having a very important female character getting introduced, usually a princess, but that's about it. Everything else is either generic anime tropes or character traits. And in the case of the latter, I'm not sure why characters displaying their personalities is a bad thing. You can't expect them to all just change.

I get what you mean, I decided to read One Piece first cause its faster that way and no filler. I found it to be more enjoyable than what I’ve seen in the show. However I will say this is the one like original shonen shonen. Its got every trope and every type of character. This is well known so I would know what your getting into first. This is very much a sit back and enjoy show not a binge through show for me. I also draw a lot of similarities from the MCU. Where everything just connects in little ways until boom Infinity War happens. But thats like 20 movies. One Piece is very similar in that sense. Hope that helps

this is just your bias speaking, boot licking ur fav show without any evidence to add to the discussion is pointless

No it's not, you just decided you didn't like it, and that's ok, but saying that it's all the same and has terrible world building is just straight up cap. Do yourself a favor and rewatch it with your eyes open and without your obvious negative bias.

Popularity isn't indicator of quality. Demon Slayer sells are 150+ million with per volume sells way more than OP ,does that mean Demon Slayer is better than OP?

I'm ain't A typical fan of any anime out there. I believe every anime has its flaws like one piece has problems with pacing and takes a lot time to bulid up.
but coming up and telling it's one dimensional by watching hardly 20% of it is just ridiculous.

He has watched 20 % that's why he can tell.

My point is your argument of sells/popularity is wrong ,nothing more.

20% is 1/5 of the show so how can he tell??

How many fights Gon lost and one-shotted his enemies?

You don't even know how many fights? Do you even watch HxH?
If you don't, why the heck are you even use it as a comparison?
There is no point I am telling you if you don't actually watch HxH, you likely say I am lying anyway.

Ofc you are lying, Gon never does something like what you said. Only time he does something like that is against Pitou , which is only one time, not always.

Every single arc is formatted the same way. If you had a checklist, im pretty sure every arc would have the following things:

- Luffy being dumb, more focused on food than anything
- Nami getting mad and hitting Luffy every other conversation
- Zoro getting his ass pummeled but still winning
- Luffy being absent until main villain
- Usopp being a coward
- Generic female side character per arc

250 episodes in now, the show is extremely predictable and feels like its just copy and pasted. No characters other than Nami have seen any type of character development. You look at other shows like HxH and MHA with a variety of different structures and themes to their arcs, and compare it to One Piece which is still doing the same thing 200+ episodes later

1) Luffy would be always rating meat If he could.
2)Nami hate IT when Luffy îs not serious
3)This is just Ussop's personality
4)Its just normal the captain would only fight the most powerfull enemies.

Average One Piece fan lmao.

I'm ain't A typical fan of any anime out there. I believe every anime has its flaws like one piece has problems with pacing and takes a lot time to bulid up.
but coming up and telling it's one dimensional by watching hardly 20% of it is just ridiculous.

But that's the thing here, if you watched a certain show and it was still average after 250 eps then it can't be called great or even good to begin with lmfao
Not everyone has the time to waste on something that gets better after hundreds of episodes, since most animes nowadays are just straight forward and better paced

This is getting ridiculous now. If you're going to criticize One piece for being formulaic, i'd expect the same judgement when considering HXH and FMAB. As much as i like these two shows, i can admit that they have artificial characters who are perhaps even more one-dimensional than One piece characters. HXH side characters are mostly bland. Even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to name five HxH side characters who genuinely made me emphasize with them and had enough character development to care about them. They might've had interesting personalities but they weren't explored enough as far as the anime goes. It feels like characters like Leorio, Hisoka, Wing, Chrollo, etc just come and disappear from the show never to be seen again until it's convenient to shoe horn them.

You're over 200 episodes in and you think it's only Nami who has gotten character development? Baratie arc with both Sanji and Zoro. I'd say that's massive character development with both of them. What about Usopp and Chopper in the Baroque works arc? Luffy in Long ring long land in his skirmish with Aokiji and realizes that he is still weak when he's completely obliterated by him. I'd say that's some massive character development as well. Literally all the straw hats to date have gone through some kind of character development throughout their introductions, and the majority have had the development of their characters serve as the main narrative in at least one arc. Character development in One piece comes in the form of drastic situations, backstories, and how the characters react to certain situations. You can't tell me that after watching 250 episodes you don't see much change between the main characters.

I can't argue with you if you think One piece is entirely predictable as that is a subjective take. The fights are predictable, that goes for every single battle shounen. I still think there are a lot of aspects of One piece that can't easily be predicted. These vary from shocking revelations relating to the story's lore to moments that truly shook the fanbase.


Please don't talk about character development because all the situations you mentioned doesn't have anything to do with an actual character development 💀
+ HxH characters are fleshed out and not one dimensional like one piece's
kurapika, killua, knuckle, komogui, Meruem, netero, knov have all gone into some interesting character development that actually served the story and their characters in the same time

While I do agree that you should finish water-7 and enies lobby to have a better view because it has good character development for robin (which is the only good one in this series) but yeah you aren't wrong either, I can't believe that one piece fans when to defend the generic plot and characters they have they constantly say that it's the same for all battle shounens 😂
now not only because there's a lot of good battle shounens that are still not predictable, but also because as if your series being average has to do with other series being average as well lol
