One piece is a happy anime , atleast on the surface but this is legit one of the depressing stories too , almost all of the characters including villains have detailed and sad stories, this really is one of the best shows i ve ever watched and i don't regret watching this 1037 episodes (ongoing) long series one bit

Heres a little info( i can answer more on discord) it is Water based as u assumed, there are thousands if not milions of islands in the OP world, the main character/captain of the straw hats is Luffy(The person With the straw hat as u guessed) Fun fact, When u first heard the different version of “We are” thats actually song by the main crew, The person in the very first intros that u heard with a deep voice thats the Pirate King talking about his treasure and everything

The cool thing about the One Piece openings is that almost any time you see them in a new outfit or in some kinda wacky situation, it's likely an animated version of the chapter opening cover that the author, Oda, drew at a fan's request. Imagine you send a letter to a famous author asking them to draw your favorite characters doing some random funny stuff, only to see it the manga, and later, on TV. Sometimes, they're even slightly incorporated into the story itself!

Couldn't say it better. Good job mate

[@jaws1628]

It’s an anime that you can’t take lightly. For everyone that says it takes so long to get good, those same people don’t have the patience for a massive world building experience. The first couple hundred episodes is all just ground work for the world that Oda built. It’s about the same percentage of episode world building episodes as the short anime’s. So if you have a 12 episode anime you need 1 for world building. If you have a 1000 episode anime you need hundreds…

This show is just amazing dude. When you have the chance to, I'd say definitely go for it. The show has its happy moments, has its deep moments and also the sad moments. Everything has a reason in the show and everything gets explained. The length becomes so short once you have watched through the whole thing

[@TheQuancy]

As a huge fan of One Piece. I hate Toei. I'd rather they do One Piece as a seasonal anime then to stretch a 14 page chapter into 15-18 minutes

[@Zysperro]

I feel like it's too stretched-out sometimes, some episodes and arks feel like such a stall.

[@sindri1447]

As a manga reader I find it hard to recommend the anime. I sometimes do go back and watch some highlights where I know the studio is gonna pour all of their resources towards but this show is literally hundreds of hours to slog through and I don't know if it's worth it for somebody who isn't already a huge anime fan. I would love for Toei to go back someday and remake the show. It's a ton of work and it would keep people employed for another decade or so... but at the end of it all you'd probably have one of the greatest anime's of all time. The manga is already the greatest ever in my opinion. Oda has truly maximized the potential you can only really get out of a series that goes on for as long as One Piece has. The amount of emotions he can bring out of his readers only because they've stuck with him for so long and are so intimate with the characters and world he's so masterfully crafted.

While watching it all in a row like this, it seems weird to have the same opening again, but when you think about how people felt while watching it weekly on release it's a completely different feeling. The first opening is so nostalgic and while watching weekly people wouldn't have heard it for years sometimes.

[@IceAokiji303]

It especially works with the episode 1000 version...

[@lopeswenli6494]

Interesting detail to notice is that all the openings have at least one moment where their ship is sailing towards sunshine, to the "Dawn". This is not coincidence, it has a really deep meaning in the One Piece Anime. Love ur reacts, cant wait for the next part.

[@stevengomez1284]

[@RPGgrenade]

It's very long, but for those who've committed it's basically one of the most emotional anime that you can find. I don't often cry from anime but this one has managed to get to do so at least once per arc. It's insane how good Oda is at getting you to like characters and feel as sad as they do.

[@tyranno678]

Completely agreed. I've watched and read One Piece from the beginning multiple times and I still remember when I saw episodes for the first time.

[@ManonLcz]

ITS THERE I REPEAT ITS THERE! One Piece is extremely long I think most of us are kinda happy about it, it comes to that point where you want to stay with those characters forever and keep going on adventures. It's a journey, one that everyone can take at their own pace. I started One Piece about 10 years or so ago now and I've always been 200 episodes behind because I enjoy consuming it my own way. I'm not pressuring myself to catch up because I like knowing that no matter what if I dont have anything to change my mind of things One Piece is there, idk its comforting. I'd definitely say it's worth watching or reading because it's wonderful story that has something to offer to everyone, genuinely. :) Edit: also if you have any historical knowledge on piracy it's a fun show to watch because a lot of familiar name can be found there of pirates from the golden age of piracy of our world some in the show not even being pirates but their names being used for 'government' figures I should say, which is always fun! ^^

He's gone so far as to have characters in the background in the early hundreds of eps, end up becoming important around the six hundreds or so.

As a long-time fan of One Piece, it always makes me smile seeing people vibing to the openings! Without any spoilers, I can tell you that the openings are usually to match the mood of the main characters, and the captain is usually a bundle of sunshine, no matter what he's facing.

[@_RunFire_]

Hey ! Really glad you start checking One Piece ! It is one hell of a journey, but what an amazing one ! Hope one day, you'll start watching it ! In the meantime, here's some answer to your questions *_WITHOUT spoilers_* : - 5:55 Yes, it is generally a show with a happy and good vibe; but there's dark moment, and very sentimental ones; so don't worry : One Piece knows when to be serious and how. Also, some subject treated can be pretty dark (slavery and discrimination for instance) - 6:50 The world is principally composed of oceans and small islands, and 1 continent : Red Line (for further images, watch *_The Breathtaking World of One Piece_* ) - 8:13 You're totally right, One Piece openings are 2 minutes 30s long, when "normal" openings are 1mn30s long : that's because One Piece doesn't have endings (after a certain moment) - 8:23 One Piece (manga) started in July 1997, and the anime in 1999 - 8:25 Yup it can, watch the show to know why :) - 8:28 I don't think it's considered a spoiler, but I won't get into details : there isn't magic in the world, but there are things called "Devil Fruits" - 10:30 Yup he is, and his name is ... not John Cena, but Monkey D. Luffy, he's 17 at the beginning of the show, and other crewmates aren't a lot older (some exceptions) - 15:34 It is indeed the first opening sung by the voice actors of the crew - 21:33 A new crew member, as you can see, called Franky - 23:20 It is an other time "We Are!", and the TVXQ version that you already react to, to celebrate the 10th anniversary - 26:11 Yes, the anime and the manga are still going on now, but only for about another 5 years ... - 27:30 It is another opening sung by TVXQ - 27:47 You should already know, but these are called "womens" - 30:00 No idea what's happening, have to ask animators - 33:56 You are actually pretty close for the overall summary (of course you didn't get political things and some other aspects, but that's okay) *PS : One Piece openings are a good example of "everything you see in the opening doesn't really happen in the show"* Hope you will see this long answer to your questions (big and small ones, even meaningless ...) If I missed anything, just say it and I'll try to correct it as soon as possible.

Need the next set of openings ASAP. Your deduction was pretty good for someone who has just seen the openings. That ability to be able to make those types of connections is very crucial when experiencing the story as well.

[@echidnaburger02]

The reason the openings are longer than usual is so that the episodes can be shorter, which gives them time to make more and keep in pace with the manga (which is still ongoing). Also, the fever dream-esque scenes during the first half of the themes are usually the animated art pieces the manga author puts at the beginning of the chapters.

Oh my god, you're actually doing it! One Piece is my favorite anime of all time and I'm so excited that you're reacting to these openings. One Piece started in 1999 and has been continuously airing to this day. The manga is also still ongoing, though the creator has said that it's in its final saga and it looks like it'll have it's grand finale within the next 3-5 years or so. And yes, the anime is very lighthearted and comedic in tone, but there is a lot of dark themes under the surface as well. Positivity in the face of darkness is a major theme of One Piece. The openings did start as normal, only being 1:30. But starting with opening 6, the openings became 2:30 and they stopped airing endings overall. The early opening visuals are more about the characters and tone of the show, with very little story content, but later openings (especially the ones you haven't reacted to you yet) have a lot more story-related content for you to react to.

openings are really happy, but the show itself has a good ballance of serious, dark, and funny moments, guy with the straw hat is the captain, and he basically goes around recruiting interesting people.

[@Kaizuk0hakupac]

Yeah the Openings are very upbeat, yet literally the only anime that ever made me bawl out crying, One Piece takes you places, Highs and lows

[@BloodyKael]

I have to say, among all of the openings where you have tried to piece together what the show is about. This is probaly the most precise or closest you have ever been, EVER! Proud of you and i really hope you give the anime/manga a go someday streaming/filming it or by yourself and just enjoy it.

[@bryandauzat293]

Randomly found this channel a few days ago, more than listening to great old anime openings again your upbeat friendly personality and obvious enjoyment of everything made me a fan. Also you can find English versions of overlords first opening Clattanoia that really lets you know what the first season is about

The 3rd "We are" and "Share the world" are both sung by tvxq !! They even performed those songs during their concerts in japan~ Tvxq were the kings of kpop in Japan and still are, that's why they're the only foreigners to ever sing an one piece opening

[@WH_9331]

@@Imsleepybro yes! Tvxq were the very first Korean boy band (boa was the first artist in general) to ever promote in Japan and release a whole discography in Japanese . Today, all of the members speak japanese fluently, too. They broke one (world-)record after another when KZbin was still a baby-website and most sns didn't even exist yet. Yet of course they never stopped to promote in their home country Korea as well.

I've been watching/reading this anime for 18 years now. It's great! I would recommend following a list that shows where the fillers are so you can skip them. Just makes the overall experience better I think. Keep in mind that the anime started in 1999 so it's quite old (and still on-going). Hope you end up reacting to it :D

[@nurayy7180]

Btw about your comment on the show being very bubbly and lively: Yes, it is. BUT I can also say for a fact, that I have never cried as much as I have with One Piece than every other anime. It hits you right in the feels. When it's funny, you laugh. When it's sad, you cry and when it is exciting as hell, you just want to binge watch all of the episodes of an arc because it just sucks u in so badly! 10/10 my fav anime of all time with a very special place in my heart❤

[@Chrisfragger1]

Cannot Understate how much "WE Are!" is loved by the community, so every like 5 years, they remix it for the intro. The second version, was sung by the VA's of the crew.

[@RangerJoe77]

It started in 1999 and still is ongoing. It was created by Oda who had been working on one piece since he was a kid and finally released it in 1999. Oda said he was trying to finish it within the next 5 years if possible. He has foreshadowed events and characters hundreds of episodes apart. They are up to the 1000s last I checked

[@declanjeffries8832]

I sometimes have my gripes with Oda’s writing in One Piece due to the pacing and how there are some loose ends, but it’s still the master class in almost every other element. I haven’t found another story that so effortlessly weaves in genuinely funny comedy in what should be on paper completely serious. The emotional climaxes would be euphoric if there weren’t tears in my eyes every time I watch them. The answers to mysteries feel like you should’ve known they were coming if only you were just a bit smarter. Characters are so expressive and alive that remembering names comes as easy as remembering the quirky/goofy looks they almost always have. The power system is intuitive enough that you immediately understand when someone’s about to get their face kicked in. The design for locations feels like you’re digging into an artisan level wedding cake with how much nuance and focus there is on detail. The theming is so remarkably consistent that you never have a moment that doesn’t feel thought out or pre-planned. I could go on and on for days about how each and every facet of the writing is somehow gorgeously maintained, even after 25 years of serialization, but it’s better to see it yourself. If only manga was more popular in intellectual spheres, this series would be how they teach kids to write. Hope you react to it, because it's changed my and many others lives.

[@katieovery8689]

The thing about One Piece is that it can be every bit as happy and upbeat as the theme songs lead you to believe. It is full of ridiculous, nonsensical fun and lots of laughter. It also is complex, dark, and deals with suffering, loss, and trauma. It also does use the song "We Are" multiple times, but keep in mind that due to the number of episodes the show has those are actually decently spread out and it is often a nice treat for fans when it comes back.

[@lazylenni1017]

Another thing to mention is that Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, is a genius. He will hide the smallest details and hints, in character art, numbers, dialogues, etc. You can watch/read the series multiple times and still miss some of the mindblowing foreshadowing and detail, that the author carefully placed there! And as a One Piece fan, it is always a treat to see new viewers slowly unravel and discover the mysteries of its story.

[@AyePsotka]

GODA haha... I really admire mangakas like Eiichiro Oda sensei and Hiromu Arakawa. Both are GOAT 😎🔝

[@KiraMasquerade]

If you want a spoiler-free yet great feel for what One Piece is about/capable of, I recommend the 6th movie: Baron Omatsuri. It's also directed by the guy that directed other animated films like The Girl Who Lept Through Time and the animation is gorgeous. So it's a great watch regardless of whether you're a One Piece fan or not :)

[@ralfsstuff]

Fun fact: The second version of "We Are" is actually sung by the cast.

[@lukakovacevic7305]

I just started watching One piece a week ago and I just finished episode 43. I gotta say that it's amazing and I know it will just keep getting better and better and first opening is just so good and iconic.

[@Kaiser8513]

I'm starting episode 826 for the first time but have to say that hearing the instrumental of We Are (On a Cruise) played at half tempo is a completely different sensation. Also at 15:30 it is the Japanese voice cast for the Straw Hat Pirates singing it which is one of my favorite things if an anime does. Another anime that has the main cast sing the openings is Assassination Classroom.

[@rafikhankhadem6657]

The third "We Are" (10th ost) was for One Piece anime's 10th anniversary Also it's sung by the legendary Kpop band TVXQ (Tohoshinki in japan) The 11th ost "Share the World" is also sung by them.

[@brian0703]

The 2nd version of We Are is sung by the voice actors of One Piece! Each of the characters are detailed within each arc (series of episodes). They definitely have their own personality. Once you start, you won’t want to stop. It’s that good. but be aware that there are over 1000 episodes dating back from 1999!! Let’s just say “it’s an entertaining journey “!

[@amazinlynn3358]

One Piece is literally my favorite anime of all time. My husband introduced me to anime when we first started dating and this show just had me hooked out of all the animes he had me watch😂 there's so much history between a lot of characters and it just makes it so good!

[@sleepyash0666]

FINNALY THE LEGEND IS HERE! Please reacted to the next openings too. The songs, animation,and story are getting better and better 💜 Btw the 2nd ver of We Are is sung by the main characters aka Straw Hat crew so of course it gave the happiest vibe. TVXQ sung the 3rd ver of We Are and the next song Share The World thats why it seems familiar. Fyi if you are confused with the complicated characters actually One Piece mixed the culture around the world so you would find a lot of similarities with them. Thats what makes One Piece more enjoyable to watch and of course the characters are super funny 😂 Also I recommend Durarara and Kuroko no Basket openings!! They're also so gooodd

20:18 "This guy always smile" That's the key, man! Nice video and reaction!

[@kaitoukay1412]

yes finally!!!!! Dude One Piece is my all time favorite series you would love it!! It's been going on for more than 25 years now. The anime first aired in October 1999. The author Eiichiro Oda is still writing it even now and it has only gotten better over the years. The show may seem happy and upbeat but grows darker and darker the deeper you get into the story. Also the second half of the openings is better imo in terms of both music and animation so I'm hyped for the next video already! Also idk if you should keep using that same video to see the rest of the openings cuz I think that one has an incorrect opening at the end of the video (I saw someone react with that video and OP 24 was the wrong one I think). I can tell it's the same one cuz of the phone notifications that popped up in the video. and Yes the main character is the guy with the straw hat and he is the captain of the ship. He is 17 and is one of the younger crew members compared to the others.

From OP like... 6 onwards, they _are_ indeed extra long! The series stopped doing EDs, and just went all in on the OP length. The series is indeed still going. We're past chapter 1060 by now, as well as episode 1000. The manga should apparently be coming to an end in the next few years. Apparently. My favorites of the openings would all be in the other half video, as they are 13 14 and 24!

One Piece is definitely something to watch. It is very long and is still on going October 20th was the 23rd year anniversary of the anime and July was the 25th year anniversary of the manga with about 5-7 years left of the story, it is long but that's one of the things that makes it great. One Piece is a massive journey where you follow these characters as they chase their dreams, you connect and fall in love with the world and characters and you always want more and for it to never end. One Piece is a masterclass in world building taking it to an unprecedented level in the anime industry in addition few anime can make you so connected to the characters that you feel whatever it is they're feeling you won't believe the things that you'll cry over until you watch One Piece. I'll tell anyone that they should watch One Piece if they want an amazing story; complex and mysterious world that always leaves you needing to know more; amazing characters; cool, crazy, and insane powers; epic fights; top tier openings; top tier character ost's; and so much more. There's very much a reason One Piece is not only the most popular anime and manga, but also one of the most popular stories in the world. As long as you can ignore the length at first you'll fall in love.
