It starts off very basic pirate of the week esque and if it stayed this way it would've fell off but it evolved into a series with a world filled with different races and world politics world conflicts etc. It does take a while but it's the promises made and mysteries established in the begining of the story along with an incredible story filled with incredible characters keeps the Fandom waiting for more. Before one piece: there's too much After one piece: there's not enough

[@WaterKirby1994]

I actually watch the series & find the pacing too slow. There isn't an anime out there that is paced slower, even at its slowest DBZ gets put to shame by One Piece pacing although that may be a Toei Animation thing. You have to wonder if we'll ever get One Piece Kai to cut the series down to only 500 Episodes after it ends? "Come on give us the next episode or chapter" is probably a more accurate description of After One Piece.

I think when you said in OP 12 that they never focus on just Luffy to much is probably one of the best things about the series he is the MC but no character is wasted or boring they all have depth Luffy doesn't have to be on screen to drive the show.

[@CanRotaryLife]

Luffy isn't so much of a character... As he is more of a chaotic force of nature.

[@Gopal__S]

Facts, it's probs the biggest flaw for a show like Naruto. Naruto has so many cool characters, but the show got reduced down to just Naruto and Sasuke. They wasted the potential of way too many amazing characters like Lee and Neji. One piece draws out the full potential of all the characters and doesn't make it just the Luffy show.

Luffy is one cog in machine that is the world of One Piece. The world building in this series crazy and I find myself at numerous times asking if Oda is insane cuz it gets crazy and the way things tie in throughout the entire series is mind blowing

[@thelordoflemonz]

It's one of the best parts of the series. The world doesn't revolve around the Straw Hats. Big stuff happens without their involvement, and it helps to really make this feel like a real, functioning world that's bigger than the main heroes.

"Put your life on the line. Those are not for threatening people"

[@jorgitosilva]

Quite a few of the fantastic/artistic/daily life scenes in the openings are from the cover pages of the manga where the author draws random scenes he comes up with or that the fans ask him to draw in the fanmail... Most of those scenes are the ones where they are doing day to day stuff accompanied by random animals... or traveling through space in a colorful park attraction little train...

[@BelovedPepper1617]

The reason they reused the first opening a few times is to kinda show how the crew has grown and to give nostalgia for anniversaries

[@vampire_catgirl]

The best part about One Piece is that the strawhats are like a makeshift family, the character interactions and how they "fight together" really makes the show, rather than just focusing on the main character

[@ROHIT-tj1md]

That's not the same intro That's basically 1000 episode spacial intro which contains the present version of the characters with old vibe and song . And that last one is not latest also, there is a latest 24 th opening which is not included . But remember one thing this Show is something else, the perfect package of every emotions .

[@baene8336]

The best opening

[@KoKoDWitch]

At minute 16:00 when they sing the 1st Opening again is the characters/ their voice actors singing the song As for minute 21:40 ish it’s the same OP but sung by famous K-POP group TVXQ for anniversary or special I think Most of the OP when they are hanging out and chilling is actually the manga color spreads the author draws for the manga. They can’t include them in the story so they put them in the OPs as a nod. If you’re familiar with the manga/ the art book the scenery of the opening is recognizable. What is the show about? Yes. As an edgy middle schooler I thought the art was super goofy and thought the series was going to be pure gag and goofy so I didn’t watched it till like end of middle school and I’ve never cried so much, felt so much sadness, happiness and anger from a series. It’s surprisingly a dark series. After 10+ years with One Piece I can say it’s my favorite series ever and it still going strong. The author is a genius madman I swear.

Something I love about One Piece is that it doesnt focus entirely on the main character. All of the Strawhat Pirates get almost the same amount of Screentime and Epic Moments, all have their character development and own Arcs dedicated to them and their own Dreams. While also having many antogonists, allies or other parts of the One Piece World shown some times. It also deep dives into Politics and Racism, Experiments on Children and Genocides later on, but in a natural way

[@jacobwilson2841]

The thing about these reaction videos for only the openings is that you don't hear the characters' voices. So when they bring back the first opening with all of the main cast singing, reactors wouldn't know. Also, because of how many episodes there are in general, it feels like you haven't heard that first opening in forever (mind you that One Piece has 1000+ episodes). Also, they bring in the original opening for special occasions (like the 1000th episode or for a Christmas/new years special).

[@WaterKirby1994]

If you were watching in a language that wasn't Japanese (See Funimation Dub for example) you would never know that about those 4 Episodes that ruined Enies Lobby in the Anime. Opening 6 was criminally underused because of the flashback episodes ending it prematurely & if you watch Opening 6 you can tell that it was supposed to play for the CP9 Fights. I'm years away from reaching Episode 1000 on Toonami (Dressrosa has just started) so I wouldn't know about that special version.

If you don’t really like pirates, don’t worry the show isn’t REALLY about pirates, they’re on boat and outlaws like pirates but that’s about it, after the first couple of antagonists you can kinda forget about them being pirates if they didn’t call themselves pirates. No « Arrrr matey » and such either. I think being scared of the art style is fair, you probably saw some ugly characters out of context and the author doesn’t hesitate to draw them really ugly, but as you’ve seen it’s actually quite cohesive and looks fairly good when you look at the whole picture and it allows him to draw whatever he comes up with without it looking out of place in the world he created. It’s actually a choice he made because he is capable of drawing more realistically if he wanted to, but I can totally understand how the art style can look weird or unappealing at first

The show does not have "seasons" since it is a LONG running show... streaming services and localizations might chop them into seasons but the story is split more in Arcs and Sagas... An arc being a piece of self contained story which is mostly divided as Arc=Island they are currently visiting... Saga's are a group of arcs that are connected to form an overarching story through all of them not counting the fact that the main story over all is actually looking for the one piece...

[@thelordoflemonz]

I'm glad you brought up how unlike other anime openings. One Piece puts an equal focus on the whole crew instead of the just the main character. This is actually a problem I have with most Shonen Animes, where only the main character and his rival are important and the other characters devolve into their cheer squad. (Dragon Ball and Naruto are the worst offenders of this). While Luffy is always the one who fights the main villain of the arc, because each villain tends to have their own crew, that means each member of the Straw Hats gets to contribute to each arc (with a few important exceptions). Oda has said that the whole crew is the main character (not just Luffy) and it shows.
