    The pacing is completely fucked most of the time, production quality varies over time (mostly because it’s spanning a decade now) and I wouldn’t recommend the show over the manga (which has none of these issues) aside from some key highlights, but I don’t think I’ll ever understand the disproportionate hate for the actual story of One Piece. Of the popular, long-running shonen series it has an original setting, a ton of world building and a romantic atmosphere. It’s not for everyone, but it does take an edgy contrarian to act like it’s dogshit with no redeeming qualities.

    All they do for 99% of each episode is talk about how they gonna defeat this enemy who is standing on the other side of the screen staring menencly at the protagonists

    One summer in college I watched the first 500 episodes in an extreme binge session. Probably 18 hour days of nothing but one piece day after day. Then I ran out of episodes. I keep thinking I’ll watch the rest someday, but I struggle up even remember most of what I watched back then. And now watching 1000 episodes feels like an impossible challenge

      Just keep going from where you stopped. You might remember a few things you forgot and even if you don’t it’s fine. I’ve been reading the manga weekly for a decade and I’ve forgot a lot over time but it didn’t make it any less enjoyable.

      Just a heads up I think you mean “social cues”. A cue is an indicator. A queue is a line waiting for something.

      Unless the main character has issues with queueing, I guess. I dunno, I’ve never watched One Piece specifically because of the bonkers number of episodes.

      Luffy wants a stocked fridge, to honour his friendships and to be king of the pirates. He just doesn’t give a single fuck about anything else

    One Piece is a children’s show. My children love it. I wouldn’t wish it on adults.

      It’s absurdism. It’s as much a children’s show as Slaughterhouse 5 is a childrens book
