You are totally right about the character involvement. That's kind of what bothered me about the ending of Naruto. All these characters that were introduced in the first part became irrelevant by the end. They barely had any showcases and where just rushed over because Kishimoto seemed to be in a rush to end the main story and didn't really know what to do with the other characters. Which is a shame considering the final war arc had plentely of opportunities for the other characters with the Edo Tensei revivals. Oda does a phenomenal job at not only including tons of charactes in the story but even giving all of them their fair amount of time to shine.

I find one piece entertaining and interesting. But certainly not emotional. It's to whacky and strange not relate to at all. Its like watching Tom and Jerry. They always have an annoying female that most the screen time. Nami probably wasn't even written in the story but shoe horn in. Then the stuff they wear. Very slutty while they have a terrible attuite. Wrong on so many level's. The amount of screen time wasted on Nami being angry or just her being a mean cow. And there's Sanjay one of the biggest simps. That's also a piece of crap. Going around telling every woman he meets he loves them. He's worse then a dog. Oh and now in more recent episodes. They have that Samurai that looks like cute chick. Looks and talks like a woman. Basically they drew a woman give her a woman's voice and called it a guy. Very sickening indeed.

The main reason you’re missing on why One Piece isn’t gotten into by a lot is because of the anime. Chapters can be read at a faster pace and generally quicker than a whole episode. If the story starts to slow down you can just read through it faster. With the West I feel as thought manga isn’t as mainstream as anime, causing anime to be the only way the stories are consumed making this issue

[@FireAngelChris]

Some truth here for sure

[@ray_ex3]

That’s pretty much what I did when I got into the series. I mostly watched the anime but when the story felt like it was moving slow I would switch to the manga. I also think some people forget to skip the filler so the length just comes off as daunting to them.

[@chadd980]

Yea the anime is annoying. It almost feels like chunks of every episode is filler. Like repeated scenes and drawn out exchanges. I really can’t watch the anime

[@madscientist14]

it's also because of 4kids. The exposure one piece got in the west was kind of ruined by 4kids dub. while naruto, bleach, and dragon ball, got some really cool voices and a proper team, one piece got cringe edits, character voices/accents, puns, and dad jokes.

And at least until Nami stopped them, the fight didn't have a comedic tone at all at least when it was framed on Luffy and Zoro, it was serious, Luffy was serious about fighting and killing Zoro, and even if it was the case of it being a joke, then it is a very bad one, because it actually misrepresent who Luffy is as a character.

8:38 not only that but his editors told him to focus more on the main 2 characters because that's what fans wanted around the timeskip's time.

[@mlh1367]

But as I read, I fell in love with the story and mainly Luffy who in my books the GREATEST MC OF ALL TIME. If u have enough time then just read it, you won't regret ngl.

The world is connected, you get to learn more about other nations and islands and the events happening in these areas actually have an impact on the rest of the world. The characters have their own lives and goals and they don't just become completely irrelevant after one arc. The world of One piece doesn't stand still because we are following the adventures of the Strawhats. That subplots tie into the main plot and the arcs are all important, they are either part a saga or there are themes introduced that will be important in the following arcs. Each arc isn't just a wash and repeat like many people think, the events of that arc have impact on the rest of story.

[@PlayingWithMahWii]

I am someone who put off watching/reading One Piece for a veeeery long time, but I was more than willing to watch the likes of DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho, Trigun, Gurren-Lagann and others all the way through multiple times. The thing that put me off personally was the length. However, when the big news of the 1000th chapter was rolling around, and I started to hear people at work and online talking more and more about it, I decided to finally jump in. September 2021 is when I started. By May 2022, I was completely caught up with everything in the anime and started reading the manga to fill in the rest. First of all, I want to say that websites and groups such as Anime Filler List and One Pace helped me *tremendously* in weeding out the excessive filler, and making the anime version a lot more watchable since I wanted to get caught up with the main story as quickly as possible and I'm more an anime fan than a manga fan. One Piece has been an amazing journey with all of the main characters showcasing just how good, loyal, strong, and deeply rich they can be. In terms of storytelling, it blew everything I've known before it out of the water, and I absolutely love how many times I end up being surprised by the unexpected, insanely curious of the mystery, and ecstatic to see a character return or get their comeuppance. It is fantastic, and to hear that it's still not terribly popular in the West is genuinely surprising to me. I love it, and it's great to once again be into a series that's ongoing, so I can wait for the next chapter or next episode to drop.

I didn't read/watch Dragon Ball as a kid, then I try to read it/watch original DB and DBZ when I was 17-18. It was boring and pretty stupid story without good plot.

I can honestly say I had been missing out because I love this show, I love the characters & there are so many iconic moments and quotes in this show that are burned into my memory forever. I started in January 2022 & I’m 740 episodes in, overall it’s way worth the watch & there are filler guides on what episodes you can skip. This show isn’t like others when it comes to pacing & fights, the main villain could be within arms reach and it will take about 30 episodes for them to actually fight 😂 because there are usually other fights or things they have to take care of before actually getting to the main fight

I'm not saying it's bad, or anything. I can definitely see why people like it. I just can't get into it. One of the few times I actually liked reading the story was when I read it in a strait up novel version. It was the fist initial arc where Luffy meets Zoro. No pictures. Just words. My mom had bought it for me, not knowing what it was, trying to get me to read more. (I beleive I was in kindergarten, or the first grade at the time.) I'm not sure why I enjoyed that version better than the original. I'll almost always take a graphic novel over a regular novel.

I will say the beginning is sort of a slog but Alabasta is when it really clicked for me. Part 1 is essentially Luffy building his crew and explaining the power dynamics of the world then part 2 is essentially a very long war/plan to take down some of the big time players that have a legit shot at being Pirate King over Luffy.

i 100% recommend One Piece. As Seth said each character feels important and A LOT of them have major significance in multiple points of the story. hell in the most recent chapters (ch 1050+) we got re-introduced to a bunch of them, some even from Alabasta (the arc Seth said he is currently in). And dont even get me started on the world building, so many tiny details that seemed insignificant throughout the story are constantly being put in new perspectives. Acting as foreshadowing without it being super obvious and will only make sense with new information the Straw Hats gain on their journey. When ANY character gets a backstory flashback be prepared to become completely invested in them, ally or villain. I actually got interested and caught up with one piece from a youtuber named Tekking101. i first started watching One Piece content in 2017 and he made Arc reviews going over each story arc. And for these past 5 years, even though i've only watched the first 12 episodes and only read some of the recent chapters online. I know almost everything about the story and i've been watching his weekly chapter reviews since 2017. I do plan on starting a physical manga collection for it although there are odd translation censorships. for example Zoro is Zolo because of the other swordsman named Zorro.

Yea, One Piece is a really good story. That's why One Piece, Naruto and HunterxHunter>Dragon ball. I'm sorry to all DB fans, but you can read Naruto/One Piece/HunterxHunter at any age and find it interesting good story. I didn't read/watch Dragon Ball as a kid, then I try to read it/watch original DB and DBZ when I was 17-18. It was boring and pretty stupid story without good plot. The only thing I didn't drop after few episodes was DBZ abridged.

@@ДавидГригорьев-ф3ж You couldn't be more wrong about Naruto and DBZ. Yeah Naruto had an interesting story, but it suffered a decline in the War arc, giving it one of the worst endings in anime. "It was boring and pretty stupid story without good plot" Justify it being a stupid story without good plot

To me, the biggest difference on your perception of the one piece is if you read or watch it. I think reading it is, for the most part, a much better experience. After reading it, there’s tonnes of amazing scenes in the anime where it surpasses the manga (as you might imagine), but it’s far easier to get in to in the first place if you just read it. I can near read an entire volume in the span of just over an episode, and later on when the pacing gets bad, an episode is literally less than a manga chapter at times; just for context.

If you are trying to binge the anime you also end up rewathing the previous episode or having to skip past it literally every time.

@@calvinwilson3617 I’ve never got that complaint, In bleach and Naruto you literally need a guide because how bad the filler is.

Love this video! I will say there's a lot of re-contextualization that happens, so the first part of the series only gets better!

All OP fans who watch Seth waited with bated breath clutching their chests when they saw the notification for this upload. God help us all.

My reaction in a nutshell

[@creadordepan293]

I’m holding with all my power the urges to say “I can’t wait for you to see xxx chapter, that’s where One Piece REALLY gets good”

[@marocat4749]

you mean th "i want to live" or the othr that, are as good. i love barotique that really gets good too, ... so many :O

[@shogic9238]

☺️ I actually love this take, ALOT, I really feel what Seth is saying in the middle of this. 😊 Even already as a one piece fan beforehand. He really captures the truths in a big way for me

[@astroshareni]

Thank you for this video. Love your take. Hope to see more One Piece on this channel in the future.
