Why does one piece has so many haters?

Jannie7 said:
Every time i see comments of every one piece post in twitter or fb or sometimes even youtube, i can always see comments "trash or suck", i cant see this kind of treatment in any other animes. I think one piece community as a whole has 50% fans and 50% haters/dont like.

Man_of_hardcore said:
because they are jealous. They couldn't get into one piece and hate why people are enjoying this when they couldn't.
Ignore them because haters are always gonna hate.

Every anime has haters, so nothing new

Also, some people just hate one piece for attention (if you use mal forums then you will see that some users hates on one piece in every thread)

Funny thing is most one piece haters are aot fans.

aesthetic__simp said:
idk about haters but many people dont like it because its kinda boring in the beginning and its old anime so many people don't like it

Sakuta002766 said:

Not liking one piece isn't bad thing but hating on one piece on every thread, comment section just for attention is bad.

Bro don't generalize. Not every AOT fan is like that. I know AOT fandom is one of the worst fandom but don't generalize.

most of the one piece haters are either naruto or dbz fans it'll be better to just ignore those losers

Nah, most of them(at least in myanimelist) are aot fan.
I can name some aot fans who hates on one piece in every thread just for attention.

Bruh I’m a Fan of AOT and One Piece, what sort of stereotype you tryna stur up bud? 🤨

-Elevate- said:
one piece has way too many haters who just hate the anime just cause of slow pacing. my dude there has been slow pacing in the show since over 10 years now quit crying about it.

Man_of_hardcore said:
bro, Aot fans are the worst. They hate every anime which is considered better than Aot. Be it Fmab, Hxh, one piece, etc.
They just want to feel superior. They want to see Aot being #1 at all anime platform.

i agree with you that aot fans want aot to be the no. 1 anime on MAL.But mention me any fan who does not want his/her favorite anime to be no. 1.

but the conflict between one piece and aot was started by the One Piece fans on Twitter.
That one one piece fan who posted his photo of rating aot eps 1 star and at that time only one aot ep was aired.
I mean is this how all one piece fans are?
Just rate 1 star and also show the world .
seeing that fan other one piece fans also started to downvote aot AND ALSO demon slayer.
after that aot fans got triggered and they too started downvoting it.

You are telling that aot fans are the worst( one piece fans triggered that whole issue in January and before that aot fans didn't even looked at one piece,so that means that one piece fandom is worst then aot )
i think that one piece fans are also not so pure and good as they think.

(AT LAST AOT IS TOXIC AND BEST ANIME AND ONE PIECE IS TOXIC AND BEST ANIME)

EVERY FANDOM IS TOXIC , EVERY FANDOM DESIRES TO BE AT THE TOP BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE JUST DOWNVOTE EACH OTHER'S FAVORITE ANIME , WE SHOULD JUST SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND APPRECIATE THEIR FAVORITE ANIME. IF ANYONE DON'T WANT TO SUPPORT THEM THEN ATLEAST DONT DOWNVOTE EACHOTHER.

PEACE.

As a one piece hater the reason I don’t like the series is it’s absolutely horrible pacing. Arcs take way to long to get anywhere and it’s really tiring to watch. And that’s the main reason I hate it because I know I will like the characters and stories. So I hate it because the anime made something I would love borderline impossible for me to enjoy

No offense.. but that sounds stupid. 👀🤔🤷‍♀️

You hate it because of the pacing.. ?? 🤨👀😂

That's equally as stupid as people who hate One Piece because of the art style...

I would understand if you just don't like the concept or how the themes are executed or something like that.
But the pacing of the ANIME?.. 👀🤨😂🤦‍♀️

Just read the manga than. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Or watch the anime on One Pace or One Piece Kai. 👀🙄


(and sorry for the amount of emoji's, but I use them always and the comment I replied to just made me do it..)

Why is that so? Pacing is crucial for a good show. Pacing can kill off an otherwise excellent show.

SE_000 said:


Well like I said. Firstly the things/points I already mentioned and also because of the thing that fan editions/edits like One Pace and One Piece Kai exist. 🤷‍♀️

Switch to the manga or watch the anime on One Pace and/or One Piece Kai.

That solves pacing and fluff issues from the original anime.

Edit: also.. do you really wanna decrease your enjoyment of a show/work of art just because the anime adaption is poorly executed..?? 🤔🤨🧐


2. Edit: I wouldn't want that. When I don't enjoy a show, have the time and the desire to consume it than I give another chance in a different way. 🤔😌

I agree with all your points but it still doesn’t justify why people spend their precious time hating on one piece and one piece fans.

CaptainBubblegum said:

No it doesn't, a fan-made edit just proves the point. People don't want to try to find an edited version that won't be posted on any of their regular streaming platforms or in some shady website that might or might not work.

Watching something that does cuts every 10 seconds is extremely annoying for some people, why do you find it hard that people don't like the show?

One Piece is very flawed, looking at your profile you barely watched 10 shows. you have a very limited perspective.

One Piece has various flaws beyond pacing:

Extreme predictability - almost no surprises, the plot is highly predictable, every arc you can easily tell what will happen and very few actually surprise.

Extremely shallow characters - character development is minimal, all characters and extremely one dimensional, almost dumbed out humans

I'm luffy and I like to eat
I'm Zoro I get lost
I'm Sanji and I like girls

Exact similar patterns for almost every arc, the formula is basically the same:

New Island
Something bad is going on
We clash with the baddie, usually "lose" initially
We gain the people's support
We magically defeat our baddie, usually with new power\solution
We "save" the island
We always win at the end

Almost everything is very simplistic and repetitive, the jokes, the traits

Animation isn't top notch and for a shounen when fights occur frequently, it is quite obvious that corners are cut, compare it to other leading NEW shounens and the difference is massive

... Most people watch shows (no matter anime/other shows like GoT,LOTR,Breaking Bad,TWD,etc.) on "shady" respectively illegal sites. 😃😂👀

My profile is only a couple of months old and I watch anime since my childhood. I'm in my 20th now. 😃😂😌

I only include the anime I have watched in japanese + nowadays. I think that's the fairest. 🤔🤷‍♀️

I have seen Code Geass, a lot of Ghibli movies, AoT season 1-3, Magi, PsychoPass, the Dragonball series, Detektive Conan, etc.

So a lot of anime. I just didn't include them because I only watched them in german dub.

Also you sound like someone who's feelings are hurt.. or just a child/immature person. 🤔🤷‍♀️

Well.. for some people One Piece has a lot of flaws, for others it doesn't have that many.
And no, not everyone of them is a blind fanboy. 👀🤔🙄

I also have my issues with One Piece but not with the actual manga/story but with the anime adaption.

The pacing (duh), the fanservice (look at the boobs or the body's of the female characters 👀😳😂), and yes that's only an issue in the anime, I mean compare Viola/Violet from the Dressrosa arc in the anime and the manga. That's waaay too much fanservice from the anime and totally unnecessary by whomever came the idea from.. 🙄😳😭🤦‍♀️

And obviously that's only an example. Look at Rebecca from the same arc (and she's also only 16 years old, and no her character design with armor isn't that bad because she was literally hated by everyone and what do you do with someone you hate? Right, you give them the most unnecessary and sh*t armor possible.. 🤔😒), it's unnecessary and inappropriate but it's explained by the plot, her character and family history, also what's bad about the anime is the sometimes bad/mediocre animation.

And as for the rest:

I wrote/explained in my first comment that I would understand if the hate/dislike comes from the concept of the anime/work of art (like you mentioned). I mean you literally mentioned and criticized the concept when you ranted over the "repetitiveness" and so on. 🤷‍♀️

And honestly.. it's nothing bad. 🤔🤷‍♀️
If you and/or others don't like it than fine. But it's nothing bad or else. It's what attracts many people in the world to the show.

I don't have to compare it to other shows, because that's unnecessary. 🙄🤔🤷‍♀️

As someone who's following One Piece discussions for a long time I can assure you that every single arc is to the brim full of surprises. The current manga development is the definition of a community shaking twist. Granted you will be able to predict stuff with a clear set up, however, a lot is coming out of left field as well. That aside, predictability isn't a flaw per se.


Neither are simple and goofy characters if they are pulled off well

- being formulaic on a macro level which is responsible for majority of predictable elements isn't a flaw
- running gags aren't flaws
- tropey and static characters aren't a flaw

Furthermore I would argue that Luffy had sufficient character development. People usually confuse it with character progession which isn't a required for an engaging character. Throughout the adventure it was shown that Luffy is more than his antics. There were occasions where he showcased emotional intelligence paired with spot on intuitivity, quick thinking, a composed side, that he learned from some of his mistakes in the past. He can't always go with the head through the wall, when he's at the mercy of someone else he gotta humble himself. There's a lot of sublety going on and his happy go lucky personality doesn't take away from that.

Don't get me wrong I myself think One Piece has flaws beyond the production and I can see where you're coming from, but the points you just listed don't hold much water, especially regarding Luffy, Zoro and Sanji.
