Well I took about a year off from MAL myself and haven't been anywhere close to as active as I used to be, but there's been some big changes. Looking at the top-rated shows here now makes me feel old. Every season feels like it has a dozen sequels airing, which no one could have predicted even 5 years ago. MAL changed their review system and as far as I can tell, everyone hates it, including myself. Also, a lot of people I knew well from MAL have either moved across to Anilist or just abandoned the site. Not like I can blame them considering I too left for a bit lol.
No. I blocked him a month ago because any time he interacted with me was to be a toxic prick. He isn't a critic. He constantly contradicts himself and his "reviews" aren't backed up by any evidence. Looking at his account is a waste of time.
One Piece is guud. Great characterization early on and really strong theming in its arcs so far. Love the way worldbuilding is so interwoven with the narrative and how it continually expands the further we follow Luffy and the crew. The artwork and panelling has also been consistently impressive for hundreds of chapters. Idk who Oda sold his soul to for him to give us Arlong Park -> Alabasta -> Skypiea -> Enies Lobby, but I would be very shocked if this didn't stay around a 9-10 for me.
