It is the biggest selling comic by one author. Batman and Superman have the unfair advantage of multiple authors and countless reboots. This is one story line

[@jordanneedscoffee]

Exactly, One Piece is by far the largest most detailed fantasy universe ever created. Imo it makes Game of Thrones look small by comparison.

[@ledernierutopiste]

In term of world detail, only LOTR come close to one piece, but one piece is definitely #1. In term of character detail and backstory, Games of thrones is pretty strong and could be above one piece but then don't forget about the manga jojo's bizarre adventure who may be the #1 out of them all.

[@machin8593]

Eiichiro Oda is a master at tear-jerking plot twists. He's an amazing writer because he knows how to turn even the most ridiculous thing into a major plot point. I look up to him in that manner in particular.

[@youngthinker1]

Just as a sort of heads up on One Piece's back story; Oda, in an interview, said that the world of One Piece was created when he was a kid. He has been building the world from that time, and continues to do so, till this day.

[@Bunni_Bunbuns]

I think one of my favourite things about one piece is how he saves islands.. by accident. Like his first fight with Buggy the clown. He wasn't out to save the town from Buggy, he just wanted his hat back. Alabasta, he was helping a ladies request and ended up saving the city. CP9, who cares about the world government? He just wants Robin back. It has the needs of Shonen Jump to be a hero saving people while still keeping them as the "bad" Pirates. That's some genius writing.

[@randolpholayemi-cole5733]

Luffy really said "fuck the World Government imma just get Robin and go" in the Ennies Lobby arc, basically declared war on them, and still won. The ultimate savage

[@arsalanhashmi2911]

You could go on. Water Seven, who gives a fuck, he just wanted a new ship. Dressrosa? He saved the entire country just because a girl gave him three lunches. Wholecake Island? Fucking angers Big Mam, a Yonkou just because he wants his cooks back.

[@L0wallyn]

[@liam-398]

I feel you left out one important factor: Those named characters once introduced in the canon version of the story do actually remain a part of that world. For example the Arlong pirates are one of the first enemies Luffy encounters, they as a group and one of their members returns hundreds of chapters later in the fishman arc. if a character is named and has entered the canon of One Piece it remains a part of that world till it dies leaving a lot of theories and debate open for fans.

[@naufalnasiri6219]

This. Oda give alot of care even for the less relevant characters, and it makes for an amazing title page for every chapter

[@arturhenrique5477]

He made a gay ballet dancing dude on a swan outfit be the most masculine figure on the Impel Down arc, this man could cure cancer

[@piccolo56000]

Artur Henrique damn straight lol

[@raydhen8840]

One thing that still struck me is how Oda has been established Ryuma character and lore EVEN BEFORE he started to writing One Piece. Originally written as Zoro's prototype, ended up being part of One Piece world and still referred by some character hundreds of chapters later in the story.

[@Sammy-bi9fj]

you mean Hachi? yeah

[@Sandwichplss]

One thing that I feel is often overlooked in these one piece analysis videos, is how well oda handles power scaling. Often authors can get lost in the narrative and constant growth of the characters where the series ends with insanely unreasonable levels of power that it pulls the reader out of the experience (looking at you Toriko and Naruto). Oda introduces super early on what the strongest in the world are capable of through Mihawk, strongest swordsman in the world. Which makes Zoros path to this goal clearer in that we have an idea of what he will be able to do later on in the series. Same goes for the admirals with Aokijis first introduction in the show and so on. Its been overall pretty consistent and has helped to avoid those asspull moments common in shounen. Of course the manga isn't over and this usually a problem in the last couple arcs, I have complete faith in Goda, may he stay healthy and creative.

[@varsoonhks3211]

[@mildlyinterested705]

My dream for one piece once it ends, is for madhouse and Oda to team up and give one piece the hunter x hunter treatment. Vastly condensing its story to only its major points with consistent animation and action scenes. Not because I think some story arcs aren't needed but I think it's necessary to make it digestible while still maintaining the feel of a grand adventure. Mainly due to the fact that I think even if you tell someone where to start, just the sheer amount that's either ahead or behind them is frightening enough to discourage anyone from starting.

[@TheKrigeron]

Ladiesman69 I think a skillful fan cut would be better. HxH is generally worse in the parts 1999 adapted IMO. They rush rush rush way too much. Same for FMA inthe manga adaptation parts.

[@dantecrottogini529]

madhouse didn't condese HxH to its mayor points. it had everything with good pacing and animation

[@stupiditycascade2913]

A fan project is in the works called "One Pace" that adapts the story at a much closer pace to that of HxH 2011, namely more than one chapter per episode. It's not super far along right now, but episodes are being released at a rate Toei could only dream of, so it's definitely worth looking into if a faster pace is your cup of tea.

[@mildlyinterested705]

Dante Crottogini Sorry, what I meant by hxh treatment is to improve the pacing and have consistent animation. But in in order for that to be remotely possible, it needs to be condensed.

EDIT: One Piece has just become the 2nd best selling comic in existence withe 490 million over Batmans 484 million, on its 24th anniversary no less. With the inclusion of volume 99 & 100, im certain it will reach 500 million and rival both the harry potter franchise & the entire dr seuss collection.

well he makes up idiotic shit because he knows his idiotic fanbase will like it. He has to appeal to the retards who read/watch this trash.

[@ApprenticeNr1]

I just finished reading the Skypea arc (I think that's what its called) and whoo boy. For me, the greatest appeal to Oda's storytelling is the way he starts off an arc with many seemingly unrelated plot threads, gradually bringing them together as the arc progresses, before finally tying them all together to one simple action that resolves the whole conflict; in Skypea's case, the ringing of the bell. There's always a sense of growing dread and the scale of the conflict gets bigger and bigger as the story narrows down and comes together towards the climax. It can only really be described as epic, and Oda as a genius.

[@monkeydsukandaru]

Then Arlong's douchebaggery escalated to stealing Nami's treasure and lying about it so she would remain his cartographer slave. It was emotionally intense watching Luffy take on Arlong and then destroy the map room in Arlong Park, finally finishing Arlong. It was so satisfying and so well designed. Fights aren't truly interesting unless the emotional/philosophical/personal battle is apparent and sufficed through the physical fight.

+VeranaXS Toriko didn't do anything.This manga got cancelled.The only anime that can be good is Gintama

[@VeranaXS]

Matt Lucas toriko did a lot of things right It had amazing world building comparable to one piece (that alone says alot) It had great powers and explanations for them It had a lot of great characters Honestly it could have easily been a giant series right next to one piece There was just one problem and that was toei screwing everything up They completely changed the feel of the series The anime ended way too soon and left a bad taste in peoples month's so they never read the manga Honestly when toriko manga was cancelled it was at its hight and the last chapter showed that They just left the planet to explore space and there were multiple different universes, 2 of torikos demons didn't even get a single meal The manga had a couple more years but jump screwed it up and canceled it (sadly it wasn't the only one) It truly is a shame a series with so much potential ended like this

[@nickjohnson02]

veranaXS the thing is about shimabukuro is, he was related with prostitution case n were sent into jail .... this guy right here supposedly to be the original big three yet bleach took over his place as he was related with illegal stuff .... when he got back like every other prisoner who finished their penalty, he didn't get as much respect as he was in his early days .... and that is one of the biggest reason toriko manga didn't get as much attention of how it supposed to be, no matter how good you are in the east countries, people wouldn't respect you as much as how you was in your early days clearly we don't know he accepted that reality or not, but we all know he is simply a literally the dark knights in manga industry

[@saphronkaizoku3692]

Please bear with the first few episodes. Most people enjoyed it (Ik I did lol) but for some reason people are led off because of its 'slow start', but realistically it's very fast compared to the complex and legendary storylines later in the series.

[@jonmeaders8633]

Sotiris227 Update?

[@TheXVodkaXFairy]

This is gonna be a bit long but I just wanted to gush about the show. I grew up with One Piece, I started with the god awful 4kids dub that was on TV and my brother and I ended up watching it together online in the early days of the internet, back when OneManga was still running. He continued watching it without me and I would occasionally sit down with him and watch it without context. I ended up seeing a lot of random parts of the Impel Down arc through this. I don't remember a whole lot about it but it was entertaining and a lot of fun to watch. Years later after dropping out of school I decided to try rewatching the series, this would have been around 2013, the Arlong Park arc, Drum Island arc and Enies Lobby arc all hit me pretty hard as someone who had been isolated from not just their friend group but from almost everyone. At the time I was living with my mother and no one from school made the effort to check on me until years later. I ended up forgetting where I was and losing interest around the introduction of Brook. But it was Robin that probably hurt the most, I was bullied a lot through high school, treated as a freaky quiet nerd. The type of person boys would dare each other to date because it was a form of punishment. I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety and progressively got worse over the years. I am 23 now, I am 2 years older than the series at this point and I'm rewatching it with my girlfriend. I saw that the series was on Netflix and decided to try catching up this time. I watched most of it alone but as I got to Arlong Park my girlfriend started getting interested, she sat down with me for most of it and then dropped off again as the Baratie arc started, she started picking up more interest when Baroque Works showed up and we watched all of Drum Island together and it was the most I've ever seen her cry about a piece of media. Chopper hit me hard as a teen when I was isolated for years after dropping out, and it hit me hard again because of quarantine and the fact that I decided to cut myself off from my family years ago because of abuse. I identify a lot with Chopper because of the themes of social isolation and wanting to find a friend that becomes your family. Like I can not put into words how upsetting it was seeing him all beat up over that mushroom. And then Enies Lobby happened. I remember Robin's story hitting me much worse when I was a teen, I felt hopeless about making friends and pretty convinced I was never going to find people that understand me. I think it hurts a lot less now knowing that I was wrong. One of the reasons I was convinced that I was going to be alone is that I am trans, and for a long time I kept it a secret and felt like if I told people I would be treated like a freak and isolated again. Once I started getting out and socialising with people again, I didn't want to put them off (I have a lot of conservative male friends who make a lot of anti trans jokes) and I was worried they were going to be hostile to me or cut me out of their lives. So I stayed quiet for almost 10 years. And when I started dating my girlfriend (who is trans) I came out to her and she encouraged me to come out to my other friends and I had never felt more relieved that the vast majority have been supportive. I'm talking about this because One Piece has always been something around me, something that put my loneliness into a story about a human-deer and a girl with the ability to grow arms. And it's not like the whole experience has been smooth, I got kicked out of a house for being trans, the whole time I was there my housemate screamed about me constantly and threatened to throw my things out into the street. Even as I packed my stuff into a trailer she was threatening to call the cops on me, once I had moved to the next place - I felt scared of my housemates because of my old one, I knew they were good people but I was legitimately traumatised. I got paranoid they were talking about me in whispers, which I knew was irrational but it made me feel anxious . One week after moving the landlord showed up and told me we had two months and that he was going to kick us out so he could have his house back during COVID. I was homeless for the 3rd time during a plague and ended up asking my girlfriend if she wanted to move in together and that is where we are at. I bring this up because I see some parallels between me and Chopper, social rejection, the fear and paranoia that comes from that, the relief when you find people that love and understand you. It got kind of off topic but I wanted to talk about how this series has made me feel, I tear up a lot when I think about Drum Island. It's my favourite arc and Chopper is my favourite character and I just find it funny that I relate more to a talking transforming reindeer than to any other Straw Hat. We love these characters because we see ourselves in them, and their stories are funny, heartbreaking and exciting. The best decision I made during COVID was to rewatch this series and now it has become a nightly thing for me and my girlfriend, after Drum Island she's watching all of it with me and we are mid-way through Thriller Bark. Also "Ain't nobody born into this world to be alone" is one of my favourite quotes of the series and Sol was a great character, it felt like his words were aimed at a younger me and that just fucks me up a lot.

It is so sweet to hear how OP has influenced peoples' lives. As for me, during a difficult emotional time I had in school, I would remember Luffy climbing the Drum island mountains and it motivated me very much. Just his raw willpower in general made me pull through many tough moments. I think you might appreciate the Whole Cake arc since it has a lot to do with family, and of course there are plenty of other amazing moments I cannot spoil, please continue to watch everything! :)

Basically the world of One Piece does not happen for the characters, but it evolves around them. And everything has a cause which will be explained sooner or later. What keeps the reader interested and amazed is the sense of discovery that everyone can experience reading or watching One Piece.

[@justinkroboth360]

The way that's described, it sounds like Berserk. Wayyyy different tones, I'd imagine, but the way the world goes through many states of flux and the like. Maybe I need to give this a chance. :D

[@saphronkaizoku3692]

Yeah I used to consider One Piece and Berserk very similar because of the world-building - one of the reasons I decided to dive into the Berserk series even more. I almost forgot.

[@pizzamozzarella4686]

Yeah. One thing that One Piece fails a little is give you some sense of danger. Characters don't die at all unless it's in a flashback (so they died already some time ago). Of course, the way it is, there's also no point for characters to die since it wouldn't move the plot.

I am actually jealous of those of you who just start One Piece and have 900+ to look forward to. Talk about binge reading/watching! I started with the anime and recently starting reading the manga from the beginning. Oh the joy!

[@DeltathRiylaan]

re' you The problem for me is that I get tired. Tired of the same book, game, manga, anime, etc. The longer the series, generally the slower the pace. Being long can be bad for so many reasons. Sometimes I just don't want to wait more. I don't want to keep catching up year after year. Eventually with most series I just stop caring and move on because it takes too long to finish. Other times even if it's complete, the slow pacing makes me get bored and I can't struggle to the end. Or even if the pacing is good, sometimes it eventually just gets boring watching the same types of adventures, the same world and the same character. Seeing a series that's, say, 26 episodes long and has great pacing and hits me with a complete plot with a satisfying ending.. That's often much more enjoyable than something insanely long. It's like eating different kinds of hamburgers for every meal every day. Even with slight changes, a lot of people will get bored eventually.

[@Subpar1O1]

I think one of One Pieces's main draws for me is just the childlike joy that's in every single episode. Watching Luffy fight and get into the most random bullshit with his crew every episode is great, and even the small moments like him and Chopper being obsessed with cool bugs and finding the biggest stick over the course of Sky Island. It's been ages since I've watched a show where I can't hate any of the main cast. It's just impossible to even dislike any of the Straw Hats

I'm glad someone went through the trouble of proving how amazing One Piece is. Honestly it's one of my favorite manga series. I don't watch the anime a lot though. I usually just watch my favorite fights from the manga. I just prefer to get the story from the manga itself, it's less time consuming, it's Oda's direct vision and it's overall a wonderful journey reading every panel. I can't even imagine watching the anime in its entirety. Especially when it takes me 4-5 minutes tops to finish a single chapter. I heavily recommend reading the manga to get into one piece!

[@Th0tSlAyErIII]

Currently doing it. I had watched the anime before (finished the Skypea arc) but dropped, I loved the good things about it, but it just had too much filler. So now I decided to "restart" my One Piece experience by reading from page 1. ...One of the best decisions of my life.

[@nfzeta128]

+super J-star but a lot of the filler is SOOO good. Its like a similar experience to watching the movies.

[@Th0tSlAyErIII]

nfzeta i agree, BUT... Filler is something that, with no exception, slows down the flow and pacing of a story and if there's too much of it, then it can sometimes ruin the experience.

[@nfzeta128]

+Super J-star I actually think One Piece hits an exception, at least for the most part. The anime usually has the filler in between arcs and given how arcs go it actually switches things from a seemingly too fast pace to a normal one. In the manga you don't usually feel it but after a long and impactful arc in the anime the filler arcs are a nice wind-down while also letting you further explore the characters. As far as I'm concerned other than a few exceptions the filler in One Piece elevates the story.

[@akhandpathi7461]

nfzeta yeah I agree with you mate, One Piece fillers are really well done, unlike a certain anime with ninjas in it. Don't get me wrong Naruto is my all time favourite minus the fillers.

Wow. Man I never knew One Piece was so detailed. I always liked the cartoony style, and can remember watching the 4Kids dub back in the day, but I've always written One Piece off as being junk since it was at the top of the Shonen Jump list. I thought surely it's only lasted this long just because it'd garnered many fans over the years. But I think I'm really seeing why so many people like it. And hearing Senor Pink's story fucking broke me, and that was just your explanation of it. I can't even begin to imagine the other stories that are told. I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna plunge into One Piece; fuck watching the anime though, there's over 900 episodes of that. I can read faster than I can watch. **update 7/14/2019** WOW. I didn't realize this had blown up THIS much in the last year and a half. For those asking how far I am now and if I've even kept with it, I can happily say I am going steady on it still. There's been times where I'd stop reading for a few months but then hop right back in. Work keeps me away from it more than I'd like, but I've just finished Volume 33/Chapter 316 having finished the AWESOME Skypiea arc and starting Water Seven, near the end of the Davy Back Games now.

I've heard a lot of different reasons for people not watching the "top" or "most popular" anime (One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, etc). "It's overrated", "It looks stupid", "It's too long!", "Aren't those kinds of anime for cringey weeaboos?"... I, too, was turned away from One Piece and the other "all time best" anime for some of these same reasons and more, and it took years after I first started watching anime to even try to watch them. Surface value, I can see why people are turned away. I know people who've given One Piece an honest try and not liked it - to each their own. But for those of you out there who have not seen One Piece - give it a try. You may very well be missing out on something you might really enjoy. Don't take other people's word for it, you have to give it a try yourself. Videos like this one that ask you to try One Piece are only scratching the surface of why you should watch it. I think the thing that most sets it apart from other anime is the vastness and uniqueness of the universe Eiichiro Oda has created, but most importantly the way he gives value to the characters and the story in a way that emotionally strikes me more than any other anime has been capable of. Please just give it a try :)

Aleczandxr Where did you dropped it? I think should watch some it. It's not a fantastic series but is fun and stays more consistent than other long runnng shonens for the most part.

[@VideoGameLedgen]

crzyboy190 Like you said though, it's not really for him. Alec's top favorite shows run for a while but not really too long, FMA running the longest I believe. Most of his shows are fairly dark all the way through and have lots of theming and symbolism. One piece has moments of that but it's later on and it's not the main focus. One piece is far from a turn your brain off anime/manga but is also not one where you have to kick your brain into overdrive. At least I think so, right Alec?

[@crzyboy190]

Aqua Jet I don't limit myself to shows that's overly mature. It's fine I love shows like that but I don't mind a simple storyline that isn't massively complex. It's the reason why I don't limit myself to just shonen and seinen but also go into shoujos.

[@C0ffeemachine2]

Yep, you did it. You have actually convinced me to watch an 850 episode anime. I know this is going to be a major waste of my time, but somehow im sure I wont regret it Thanks, I guess.

[@C0ffeemachine2]

:D yes I did search online for a filler list and also found one. right now at episode 3, ive got a long way to go :P

[@C0ffeemachine2]

Im in deep trouble, currently at episode 113 it is 4:08 in the middle of the night. CANT STOP....

[@Bogglemanify]

you should actually watch the filler right after the sky island arc because that filler is actually relay good

[@C0ffeemachine2]

Bogglemanify the one in the marine base? I already watched that xD

[@Nobody-pv9jt]

siebe tennebroek how did u like it? I'm pretty sure you r done by now... at least the pre time skip...

[@adityapai593]

This. video got me into one piece. Thank you so much .I love this series.Like you said i watched movie 6 and i just fell in love.Im now on the alabasta arc anxious and excited for whats to come

[@rafaelandrade7627]

This is what made me decide to read one piece, back when the video came out. So thanks, you introduced me to my favorite thing ever

[@z-rex3720]

*SENOR PINK IS MY MAN*

[@ninjahdgamer3135]

😢😢😭😭😭 True

[@Ryomboy]

Massive amounts of filler in the anime? Seriously? Compared to Naruto there is like no Fillers at all xD And I always felt the fillers in One Piece made much more sense than others.

[@Silentking5995]

Ryomboy I think he means how latest episodes have stuff that happened in manga wrapped in filler. Because the Dressrosa arc had more episodes then chapters and there were already 101 chapters for that arc

[@sernoddicusthegallant6986]

thats because the pacing is terrible

[@ARandomGuy24]

Imagine somebody saying the amount of eps One Piece has is nothing compared to the Simpsons. Yeah, true but it's still massive.

[@marsenal]

Yeah few fillers, but the canon episodes are stretched out like DBZ was, but it was actually fine for me.

[@willy_th3_walrus257]

Just because it's better than a series that is infamous doesn't mean it's not bad If I murdered 1 person I'd still go to prison or get a death sentence. Saying "well that guy murdered more people" doesn't do anything.

[@fufufuaru]

AYE thank you for suggesting movie 6! It's my most favorite one piece movie (I liked it more than Strong World, which is my second fav op movie and I recommend it to new viewers too) and though it's darker than its usual mood, it still felt like an adventure, the comedic timings are great, I love the conflicts that happened within the crew members, and the animation was superb.

[@alternate6200]

Damn this actually made me read one piece, took a while but I’ve been all caught up for about a month know. Thank you so much for introducing me to this amazing manga!

[@WalkingGirlKoi]

Oh, yeah! More Eyepatch Wolf, bring it.

[@bekimmehmedi2905]

WalkingGirlKoi I was just looking for a new EyePatch video to watch and here i am lol

[@WalkingGirlKoi]

Budkeri UB I woke up right when this video was uploaded, so I was pretty happy. One Piece interests me, I just fell behind on it after I stopped watching the anime years ago.

[@matthewleclair3189]

God, seeing a notification for this channel is like the best feeling.

[@AFox739]

Senor Pink: What happens when Oda sees John Wick...which is weird, since he came out BEFORE John Wick.

[@ivandelrosario6906]

This video makes me wanna rewatch it again from eps1.. Amazing video 👍👍👍 much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@anastasia-k-1376]

I'm definitely gonna show this to my friends who say One piece is "Too long to enjoy"

[@mattlucas169]

Still a good anime .I mean manga it's good

[@deadsoon]

Anastasia -k-137 I mean part of its enjoyment depend on how long the story us, if it weren't that long it'd be hard to develop so many backstories.

[@thethompsons115]

Just the more you can watch

[@lordTouchmeace]

Start one piece from the beginning I garantee everyone who are watching this video you won't regret it.

[@majimapyro370]

AND YOU BETTER READ IT

[@justsomeguywithamask9530]

@Joshua Jung why are you replying to every comments just to hate on one piece? Can't you do something better?

[@scaramouchesboldredeyeline305]

@Joshua Jung judging by your comment. You're being a dick and it shows.

[@thesmartonesback2650]

I read it it is very good 5th place in my manga series list.

[@wandefter]

One piece just passed Batman in sales!!! 490 million right now. Batman at 460 mil, Superman at 600 million.

[@yousifalshehab4995]

3:38 that aged just perfectly

[@mikedicewrites]

I actually ended up getting inspired by this video last year, and though it took me a while, I went through all of One Piece and am now waiting for episode 833 to drop. Thanks Wolf, I wasn't sure about the series before but you sold me on it and its cool looking back now on the video that started this journey for me. ;)

[@WhiteBeard640]

Did u like the katakuri fight?

[@spinceiling7442]

I hate throwing this word around but I think One Piece, as well as Fullmetal Alchemist are the only shonen I can consider masterpieces. Sure they have their flaws, but in my opinion the positives really outweigh the negatives

[@spinceiling7442]

Polo Hat Luffy I've done both. I think it's good but not as great as a lot of people do.

[@michaeldorsey9231]

How about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?

[@brucekent1376]

One pece is shit, only fanboy said "masterpiece" for this shit. MAGI>one shit

[@jukaa1012]

jojo and hxh and 90 percent of toriko(it got canceld at the end, or rather rushed)

[@furorteutonicus9045]

Oh hi Bruce. Want to get destroyed by me once again in this comment chain you sad excuse for a fail troll? ^^

[@alejandrodominguez1758]

A couple of months ago I watched this video and it put this show on my radar ever since. I started the series a few weeks ago and at first I thought this show was overrated until I got to Arlong park. That arc was so damn good and I was hooked since then and I’m currently at thriller bark. This is the only show to ever make me cry, Robins flashback was the best flashback I’ve ever seen

[@TheJoboogie]

866 characters!?... I actually laughed out loud, I freakin' love One Piece.

[@magicalmelancholy970]

And I could give information about most of them if you just show me a picture.

[@MarcosVinicius-oz6kl]

@Joshua Jung wrong lol

[@queriak]

@@magicalmelancholy970 That's the thing. The characters are so unique in design and personality, they stick in memory.

[@markassbrownie]

Yeah and you could probably give me a picture of any of them and i’ll know who they are. It is very amazing how Oda made them.

[@gus6327]

Joshua Jung How stupid can you be?

[@colindowden2182]

please do why you should watch Gintama

[@Blkangerzero99]

Colin Dowden is the anime done?

[@Kurostyle21]

I'm actually curious to know. I tried a couple episodes of Gintama and didn't find the appeal to it.

[@catsoup9870]

Read too. At lest for some parts.

[@curiosity9678]

Kurostyle21 that is the problem most people encounter too. it's starts very slow but after 30 becomes quite fun and after 60 becomes unstoppable getting better with every episode . To see what it can be like check out episode 202 and 203 . I promise you , you won't regret getting into this series .

[@drakesirius3014]

I want to watch Gintama but I think it focuses too much on gags. Im not sure if I could get into it to be honest. I love one peice and that one has lots of gags and jokes too but it's not the main point of one piece.

[@ishangimhan6112]

4:09 it actually took 4 years already in to no 2

[@nicholasvu7619]

OMG this video made me subscribe to u!!! U understand the anime so well and I appreciate u taking the time to make this video ❤
