[@angelsambition2179]

Wasn’t a fan of One Piece growing up, I checked out a few episodes and it didn’t hit for me at the time. Decided to give it another try in 2021 and for whatever reason that story hit this time. As I kept watching/reading it I just kept getting more and more invested in the story and world building and I kept finding myself say at numerous times of the story “Oda is insane for creating this” I ended up catching up and it gives you all types of emotions. This was probably one of the first shonen out of the usual popular one that had me in tears with what some of the characters went through. Overall, it’s amazing.

At first ,I didn't like One Piece at all because it was too old and had bad animation but my friend was saying it's so good and now I'm all caught up to the Anime , also I know Manga is Superior and I guess I will have to try to switch but the Animation is so good right now that it's so hard to switch.

One Piece is THE greatest story ever written to me. Everything about it works. From the characters to the themes it all works! The fact that Oda the GOAT has been writing this shit for over 25 years and still has plenty in store for his fans is nothing short of amazing. It's in my opinion the greatest story ever written and will have no equal for generations to come. I found One Piece during a very difficult time in my life and it really helped pulling me out of my slump. All hail Oda and One Piece!

Its so funny because people think its overrated but in fact One Piece is such an underrated piece of fiction and should be a textbook example on how to construct a world and characters that are literally so well written they might as well be real despite their appearances, comedy, and a narrative leaving you wanting for more.

Honestly, I have always read Kuina's death as symbolic of a "useless and mundane death". Like, there is nothing more heartbreaking than someone who was aiming so high and got tragically cut short by something as small and everyday-ish as falling down the stairs. Being shocked and feeling it was meaningless is the intended effect. At least, that's how I feel. EDIT: There has been quite a few of you coming down into the replies to say that "Falling down the stairs" is a euphemism for "Unaliving oneself". Thank you for your imput, but it's not true. Just ask a Japanese person, someone who lives in japan or google it. It's something that was born on the english-speaking part of Reddit.

one thing i would say about starting one piece for someone new to the show is, dont let the number of episodes intimidate you, dont worry about catching up to the latest episode, instead just enjoy the journey. take your time, because one piece have a lot of story to tell along the journey.

[@UltimateCarl]

For real. People get so caught up in being current... Don't think of it as a wall you gotta climb, think of it as a gigantic, unperishable cake (perhaps even... The WHOLE CAKE?!?!?!). You can't eat it all at once, and if you try, it'll make you sick... But any time you want some, it'll be there waiting for you, just as delicious as before.

PLEASE watch the sub version if you’re not already. I know there are so many “sub>dub” people in the anime community, but this is different I promise! The Japanese VA’s are SO talented! Especially Luffy. It’s not the same in dub, especially the comedy. The dub voices are just “generic shonen character” voices and tbh they suck. Especially for a series as amazing as One Piece which addresses so many things, while being free ❤️

[@00Clank]

That a piece of comedy is what hooked you on the show really bodes well. Being able to relax, enjoy the ride and go with the flow is key to knowing you can go the distance. Folks who try to rush to 'get to the good part' miss the forest for the trees. Thrilled to see you are watching and enjoying the dub, One Piece dub is underrated. I especially love Stephanie Young as Miss All Sunday and Sonny Strait as Usopp. Once you get caught up you'll get to swap to sub and have the chance to compare a lot of the voices, which is always fun.

Then you get some of the back stories and get into some more locations and the story just gets so good…! 😭 I’ve caught up now, but I hope you enjoy it!

[@TheFrostedfirefly]

I remember not getting into One Piece when I was younger too because I just remember seeing the show mid-episode on TV, saw that Luffy was fighting a clown and was like "that looks stupid" and practically never paid mind to it for another 8 years. Fast-forward and honestly? I don't remember what got me watching it again, but I started watching the first few episodes on my PS3 (yes through the built-in browser lol) and somehow got hooked immediately that day.

[@MouseGoat]

Sanji is actrully Goated, what i think adds to him is the fact that he dose have a major flaw in his "simp" 9001 but honstly once you get over the "desgust" that invokes at first you come to see that Sanji is not you typical simp. Man might be a womenizer but he is no beta boy. He dose not clad himself in a fedora and call it day, NO! man has a dream and is willing to go to full lenght for it. And thats what makes him difrent and likable, that you may question his principals, but he stands by them tho hell and high water. I mean, in the end of the day, Sanji is such a loverble fun character, but this becomes more clear after entry to the grand line.

I never knew what was One piece actually about back when it was first new and stuff, i just used to see the art of it and some people reading the manga,i usually used to think it was just about a friend group living in a boat nothing in my interest at the time. Until back in March of 2021, i thought it would be a good idea to give One piece a another try since at the time my charger broke and i couldn't use my phone so i had nothing to actually do than watch this, after watching some episodes i started to get more interested with the story and well i staid atlest a full day just watching it non-stop.Until that day to now,i still watch One piece with full on interest and excitement waiting for the next chapter. The art style- is very creative i think the art style was actually one of the reasons for me to start watching One piece cause like man- i simp for almost everyone but the person i simp the most of all the One piece characters would be Trafalgar Law, even so i simp for everyone, even for Buggy. 🍙

I started consuming One piece in 2001, at that time, i was thinking, man I am so late to this. Well look at the series now.

This is his magnum opus. This is a legendary series, that I hope many people can set aside their hate for something they didn't give a shot try to consume. It is definitely the most unique and has been the most unique for 25 years and still going. It's incredible. There is NOTHING like One Piece out there.

Also, fyi in his backstory, When Zeff gives him the food, what did you think zeff survived on?? the anime censors it, but he actually cuts off his own leg and eats it. Its incredibly symbolic because He also used his legs for fighting, so by sacrificing his leg he's also giving up on his dream....its why Sanji doesn't want to leave the baratie, he believes he owes Zeff a lifelong debt, (also up until Sanji's farewell, Zeff never calls him by name) only calling him by Name as a final farewell and acknowledging him.

I watched One Piece from 2001 to 2005. Till the end of the Skypiea Arc. I dropped it then because it was too slow and I didn't pick it back up till like 2018. It's a very good series.

[@shooshiwhooshi8736]

If you think East Blue is good, just wait for the later arcs.This show has some of, if not the best fictional literature ever written! I actually am excited for later reviews if you end up making them.

[@Backlit91]

One of us... One of us... ONE OF US!! I was the same honestly held out for so long (also Canada YTV gang). Number one advice is try your best to avoid spoilers and take it one arc at a time. I think it took me like 2 years to fully catch up and it does so much popping off... great journey to undertake. Good luck!

[@Galaticboyyounggee]

Yoooo it’s great haha welcome the emotion of one piece is legit

[@k.r.99]

If you love sad stories, the anime will throw you around and hit you against the wall many times. The story flashback of B & L (episode 350-600) hit me the most.

[@AnyMEmdq]

13:15 And that was the anime toning down what actually happened. Zeff didn't lose his leg with the anchor chain while swimming, instead, after he divided the "food" with Sanji, he grabbed a rock, used it to chop his own leg off, and that's what he ate

[@CRUZEOO]

In the manga when Zhef gold bag was revealed, sanji was shocked and ask zhef how did he survived without any food? and saw that zhef have only 1 leg.. flash back panel, after giving sanji the food bag, zhef crush his own leg with by hitting it with a pointy stone..... he ate his own leg to survive (Red Leg Zhef) this is why sanji feels that he owes his life to Zhef and dont want to leave the restaurant

[@ready_freddy]

Glad you're enjoying your journey with One Piece... it's like I always say, every feel that there is to feel you WILL feel in One Piece 😅

[@Ranma1981]

I had the same basic starting impression with One Piece after seeing it on YTV back in the day. I thought it was some dopey show for little kids (the 4kids dubs fault) and never gave it a second look until in high school my friend got me into anime through DragonballZ. After watching many anime over the years, I finally came across a One Piece clip on youtube of the first Luffy vs Bellamy fight and it popped in my head...I missed something about this show. I started it after that and what hooked me 100% in the show was Luffy's punch through Don Kriegs spike cloak, that absolute dedication to his morals won me over. On a side note, although I don't know much about you personally other than this video (my first of yours) all I could think was, wow! I wish one day I could be with a woman like her, because you seem like a wonderful person from what I have seen so far.

[@CraigThePoet]

Also it was heavily implied that Zeff ate his own leg in the manga. In the Anime, they made up the scene where he uses an anchor to cut i off. That detail makes Sanji's backstory a lot better.

[@ponchopponcho]

It's so interesting to me that the last two years has seen a huge surge in new people watching One Piece. Would love to see you cover more of it.

[@robbyt-low4937]

7:08 - Repeat chant over and over lol. But in all seriousness. One Piece is amazing. I got into it a couple years ago and I'm fully caught up now. Definitely one of my favorite shows ever. BTW. My favorite song from OP Red is Fleeting Lullaby. Absolutely amazing song and I loved the movie.

[@GamingWithMoon]

i love watching more people join the crew. welcome, nakama!

[@Derezedd]

East Blue was the introduction, Grandline is crazy... But all you need to do is to just stick and stay till Water 7 and Ennies Lobby arc.. and you'll be nakama for life.

[@TheRisingSun2811]

Bruh when she said, “who needs friends when you got one piece” literally got me laughing hard, I am a big one piece fan and to be honest it was one of those shows I didn’t want to watch but it sounded cool and seem cool so I tired and I loved it so much “every new one piece episode on Saturday”, and yes I am on the latest episode. First time seeing this KZbinr but to be honest this stuff she is saying is All facts well guess not all cause some are options and I respect it but you know… anyways sheesh that earn a like.

[@POPINCONEJO88]

Btw in the anime Chef Zeff lost his foot trying to save Sanji and it got stuck by the anchor chains, in the manga he literally cut off and ate his own foot. They changed it in the anime because felt it would be too much for kids to handle

[@imSrslySerious]

I personally started One Piece with the Swedish official translated manga in 2003, (so basically been a fan for 20 years later this year). It was the second manga I ever read, (the first one being Dragon Ball, thanks to a friend of mine). In the beginning I was like: "Yeah, I mean, it's good but it's no DB." That tone quickly changed the more I discovered from the world of One Piece. The characters, the adventure, the setting, the story, the everything. It just drew me in more and more. I'll forever treasure DB because it got me into manga/anime (and it's actually pretty good), but for me, it's not even close to being as good as One Piece (personal opinion). I mean... If something can keep you interested for 20 years, it's doing something well! The only problem I'd say is the pacing of the anime. Which will become more apparent later on. It will feel like you get about 4-5 min of content per episode. It will slow down drastically. Nothing that bad right now, since you don't have to watch it weekly, but still. They have gotten somewhat better in the latest arc. Or it's what it feels like from someone not currently reading the manga. Not to mention the animation in that arc is the best ever.) One Piece will forever be my #1 manga/anime of all time! (Sorry for so much rambling, haha.) 😂

[@monchimonschined504]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH I think you are gonna love when brook comes in the crew

[@sappoko2941]

Everyone 100 episodes you should make a milestone update video likes these I'll watch them def interesting hearing you talk about one piece

[@johmami4825]

I started recently too. I'm reading the manga, and I just finished Thriller Bark. I'm so excited to read the rest.

[@ericericsilva5915]

I am glad my favorite anime is hooking u because it as well it took me time to love it and it became my number 1 but hope u take your time and their is a lot of fire characters. Sanji Luffy and Law all bangers

[@HaohmaruHL]

Yay, welcome to the crew!

[@mrsjayrez2627]

I’m so excited for you. This story is truly all fulfilling, hitting all the emojis simultaneously and after three watch throughs, I still cry, I still laugh, I still get excited about epic moments. Something so inspiring about, as you’ll see, luffy almost always doing what he believes is the right thing and to heck what the consequences are because he puts his friends and innocent people’s wellbeing, freedom and happiness above everything else, even his own safety and dreams. It’s truly the greatest story being told, hands down! I wish, as unrealistic as it it, I still wish everyone in the world would watch or read one piece. I’m willing to bet if everyone started at the same time the month after they get to where the anime is currently, we would see world hunger and homelessness start to disappear, pollution clean up on a massive scale and a huge push for renewable clean energy globally. Actual Equity and inclusion. The only people who wouldn’t comply would be those devoid of empathy and would be powerless against the unity of those who want a better world. But that’s how powerful the story is.

[@msanimegames]

Definitely ❤ love One Piece story.. im on episode 1046 & there’s so much easter egg .. I just watch it while on treadmill mostly 😆 I’m glad you love it too

[@gamesong6600]

Around episode 100 story picks up really well with taste of more mysteries and grandness of one piece world. Its still great because of characters but story starts from 90-110 somewhere.

[@viciouso1234]

good vid. keep watching at your own pace and remember everything you’ve seen lol. enjoy the journey 😢

[@brainbrudah1085]

Dont know if you have heard this before but for Kuina (the girl in Zoros backstory) dieing that way, from what i understood she had the sword with her to sharpen it because of the fight and promise. In her , maybe excitement , or rush to stay ahead of Zoro, she tripped with a blade. Sorry if that makes no sense, but thats how i saw it.

[@ronyheat91]

Updates for each arc would be bomb!

[@yalo3162]

Glad you enjoy it. I have 2 things I wanted to comment on tho. Apparently, some things are different in the manga from the anime and I think it makes the story more compelling. For Sanji's backstory, Zeff didn't lose his leg underwater. It's implied later that he ate his leg to survive. It was apparently deemed too dark for the anime, but it makes it so much better to me, so I acknowledge that, even if I don't read the manga. And for Zoro's backstory, I saw the comments say that "died from falling down the stairs" is a Japanese analogy or whatever for someone self oofing. Again, a very dark version of the story, but considering she went out in a ridiculous way for such a serious backstory, and because she seemed so unhappy that she would never be able to reach the top because of being a woman, I think it makes way more sense. You don't have to make them your head canon, but I think it makes it so much deeper and it's worth knowing about.

[@Angel-wn5oi]

I started watching one piece on July of 2022 we are now in January and I’m already caught up with the show

[@jackabrom9644]

I'm happy that you're enjoying One Piece, and hope that you come to love the upcoming arcs and characters of the show.

[@lgenowm5580]

Good work, this is a master class show which you already knew. Enjoy the journey of one piece. The show is unique where they will introduce you to a character or a plot point and won’t really touch it until 500 episode later. So everything in the story has a point. yes, please do more videos maybe during the arc or after you finish up with an arc. I would love to hear your thoughts and journey throughout you are one piece journey. I would also like to mention that I know you watched the film read. However, don’t expect to see shanks anytime soon throughout the storyline alongside some other characters.

[@xoooxzzzz5744]

wait for usopp, trust me, he grows on you. After reaching a certain place in the story, if you hate usopp, I don't trust you 🤣
