HOT TAKE : it takes more then one episode to see if you like an anime

[@AntonioCunningham]

True!

[@ChuckyBeingChucky]

No

[@pochoppa8425]

fr idk how people can judge a whole series around 1-5 episodes

[@keithmoorejr1992]

No way. The "3 episode rule" is not good. If you had a meal for the first time and it tasted horrible you wouldn't eat it another 2 times just to see if the flavor changed. You just don't like it and that's OK

[@AntonioCunningham]

@@keithmoorejr1992That's odd. I've hated Virtually all shows on my top anime list from just watching the first episode. It was only because I give shows five episodes to win me over that I fell in love with these shows. Fullmetal Alchemist is a good example. I still don't like the first few episodes but I love the series.

I agree it could just be a fantasy anime . alot of isekai have dope worlds to be in but, I hate the main character so I can't get I to the world of the story.

Very true. 90% of the time, their past life has nothing to do with anything going on in the story.

[@c4ptaintuttle276]

It's so you can relate and put yourself in the same situation. Many people hate their life so they want to be put in another world where they can be cool. For me the problem with isekai is that they are so uncreative. In 90% it's " you have been summoned and have to kill the demonlord to save the world"

Heck yeah, I'd say liking the One Piece anime pacing is a hot take all on it's own. In fact, I would have preferred a world where when Toei is like 30 chapters or less behind the start of the current manga arc, they would cease making One Piece for like a year, and then start again. Just so we have a well paced anime.

[@polidon1577]

21:55 "Now im not saying One Piece is a simple story." Literally 30 seconds earlier "One Piece is kind of a simple story." I mean this in the nicest way possible. i just thought it was funny that he immediately contradicted himself

[@llamayama3759]

not really. he said its not simple, but its kinda simple. kinda simple means the main theme is simple (be pirate king and be free), but the things going on arent simple so the story overall isnt really simple

[@planetarylink]

and it's not even simple it's just more digestible since it's better at explaining its complicated aspects

[@ishitaasen3733]

To be honest, it has so much time to explain and flush out everything that it automatically becomes simple and easy to digest. If you were to introduce stuff like military doctrine, slavery, genocide etc along eith the two power systems of devil fruit and haki into 25 episodes, it will become complicated

[@ashtonki6769]

33:00 yes. people who actually understand and comprehend the story and lesson of Vinland Saga, know this. You could even go as far to say that, Vinland Saga gives us more content, art, and meaningful lessons WAY more effectivley.

For as long as I can remember One Piece has been too long for me to start. I’m 31 and I remember being in middle school thinking this looks cool I’ll buy the dvds and binge it when it’s over. HA!

[@WeeabossVA]

JJK SPOILERS: Itadori being the son of Kenjaku should have played into the story more, and Kenjaku could have used this knowledge to gain Yuji's trust to tempt him into gaining the dark power needed to kill Sukuna... All in a bid to create a sorcerer even more powerful than Sukuna himself (since Kenny just cares about ultimate destruction).

[@twistedice138]

I mean it might have still been the big 3, I was looking at the amount of volumes sold of naruto, one piece, bleach, and hxh and naruto, one piece, and hxh were offer way higher than bleach in manga sales. I'm saying bleach might have just never been in the big three if hxh keep going.

[@AntonioMartinez-iu5bu]

It feels good to know that someone other than me knows that Overlord is not like those cheap pedophilic isekai😃 like Mushuku Tensai😒

[@mangahell8177]

The crazier part is that the tropes that Nick mentioned that isekai needs to get rid off only loosely apply to Overlord so he either only watched the first three episodes and just asumed that it's going down the average isekai route or he only read a few things about Overlord and is assuming it's just another average isekai

[@AntonioMartinez-iu5bu]

@@mangahell8177 EXACTLY IF he fully watch it he would know the simplist facts that make Overlord unique And amazing. An example would be AINZ ore Momongas past world And how it was a post Apocalyptic world where one could find dead people on the roads, the air was toxic and the only thing worth living for, for Ainz it was to play with his friends in Yggdriziell so much that he spent a lot of money on it. This made Ainz develop an almost parental love for their creations

@@AntonioMartinez-iu5bu mushoku is better than overlord :)

[@HotCrossB1S]

It's because it's story about a middle-aged man reincarnated in a magical medieval world with RPG systems (well obviously) and surrounded by abnormally interested strangely proportioned women. Not that it's bad, but has a similar floor-plan to a lot of others, and watching a lot of Isekai like such gets you burnt out quick unfotunately, unable to recognize the Shield Hero from the SAO in just the first episode(s) or so ☹️

[@DrBoto]

Great video, if you make this a series I feel like it would be great to do it with Danny (as a video or segment on the podcast)

[@Deode-d4h]

My preference with sub over dub is that I don't understand Japanese and thus can have a certain level of separation, and because I generally find the delivery of lines better. If cringey stuff happens, I'd rather hear it in a language I don't understand. I am also not in the mood to gamble if the English VA work for an anime is good or bad. Even if the JP VA work is bad, again at least its in a language I don't understand so I don't have to scrunch myself into ball hearing bad line delivery.

[@noahvanderwyst1232]

It isn't remotely a gamble with dub though-- the vast vast majority of dubs are fantastic. It is just as likely to find a bad sub as it is to find a bad dub in modern anime, but neither are common. If part of your reason for preferring sub is so you find it less cringy, you probably just don't like the anime as much as you think you do. If the cringe is part of the story, that reflects on the quality of the story-- not the quality of the voice actors for the dub. In regard to cringiness, you are basically just saying that you'd prefer to read it than to actually hear it and understand it outloud😅.

[@Deode-d4h]

@@noahvanderwyst1232 Good for you. I know I had mostly had negative examples, but I'd like to remind you that I also said I just prefer JP line deliveries more than EN. Cringe or no cringe.

It’s supposed to be a genuine character flaw that rudius learns from and matures slightly over time.

[@joehicks929]

in terms of the luffy thorfinn take, they personally motivate me in different ways? like moment to moment day to day i WANT to be like luffy, effortlessly persevering towards my goals and dreams, but thorfinn is more motivational in situations where im struggling to find that motivation, when i was actively grappling with what i wanted to do with my life thorfinn and vinland saga was probably the most motivating piece of fiction imaginable, but on a day to day basis it doesnt motivate me because thorfinns motivation isnt efforless like luffy's, idk if this makes sense to anyone else but i guess tldr; luffy motivates me day to day but thorfinn motivates me in "hard times"

[@UltimateMustacheX]

Also under the dub vs sub debate: People don't actually hate dubs because of hearing a specific actor use their same voice in yet another role. If that were the case, they'd have to hate most subs as well. There are Japanese VAs that have hundreds of characters under their belt, and people never complain, even when every single character is delivered the same way. But have the actor speak English, and now it's an issue? No. This is just a lazy excuse to justify your dislike of the dub, instead of digging deeper to your real issues with it (assuming those issues aren't just as shallow).

[@SomebodytoRemember]

Honestly, i thought the theme of hunter hunter was the power of desire. Like they hunt after something, or desire something, and its all the journey of each person having a core motivator and their responses to it. Gon's unhealthy mental state and attachment, killua not having one of his own at first and being impressionable at first to becoming extremely solid in it, hisokas... take on desire... and kurapikas all consuming desire for revenge. Its all about individuality and motivating desires more than just, oh look, exploration. Or i could be wrong, i never read the manga

[@nirjhar4803]

Tbf the term 'desire' can be pretty damn broad as a theme... Since it could essentially be defined as an ambition towards a goal(which most stories tend to have to begin with, especially shonen stories). For example one could say in AOT Eren had the desire to be free and protect those closest to him(and also initially avenge his mom), you could say Naruto's desire was to become the Hokage and be accepted, Sasuke had the desire to 'avenge' his clan for the most part. Most characters in shonen tend to chase after what they desire to begin with.

Hot Take: I would’ve rather had Boruto and Kawaki be the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, instead of Sasuke and Naruto. The reincarnation bit kind of ruins Sasuke and Naruto’s journey, especially Naruto’s. In shippuden, Naruto becomes a chosen one character instead of the underdog, cursed child, that he was in og Naruto. Naruto didn’t need to be a reincarnation of a god to become Hokage and have the village to accept him, he achieved half of that during the Pain Arc. I would’ve rather had Naruto stay a nobody than a prophetic hero like he was in the war. That way all his achievements are his own, instead of being the result of a divine intervention/reincarnation. Same with Sasuke. That also makes it more interesting because then instead of Sasuke and Naruto’s rivalry being partially a product of the influence of tneir reincarnations, it’s truly just about two friends who were alone and then took different paths to get what they wanted. Then after Naruto becomes Hokage and Sasuke comes back to the village, have Naruto’s son, Boruto, become the reincarnation. The son of the hero of the fourth Great Ninja War works better as a chosen one character, especially since Boruto’s already more talented than he ever was. It just fits better in my opinion. [Also before anyone says anything, I’m not saying Naruto and Sasuke didn’t work hard for their achievements, I just think they didn’t need to be godly reincarnations to do some of them]

[@chasemauldin3345]

Hot take: Big O is the most severely underrated anime from the 2000’s that aired on Toonami and was arguably as important as DBZ in getting western audiences intrigued in anime.

[@JadenTSlime]

As a One Piece fan who marathoned like 700ish episodes last year to get caught-ish up, The one piece anime's pacing is absolute crap. The 1 chapter per episode model is a BAAAAAD one. If you want to get into one piece: Read the Manga or wait for "The One Piece" because I PROMISE, especially later in the series, the OP anime's pacing WILL murder your soul. The padding in the episodes is unbearable. Still frames from the manga that would be snap-reactions get STREEEREETCHED over ridiculously long periods of background foley. So many pregnant pauses. So much airtime given to "last time on" that stretches ba 5 or six episodes. I LOVE OP's world, story, and characters. I am bordering on hatred for the current anime as it stands.

The thorfin take is fine, but why were they compared in the first place? Like wouldn't naruto make for a better comparison? Ion really think luffy is the most inspirational ever either, cuz by his own admission, he does things for himself and doesn't want to be this heroic figure or whatnot. But Luffy and throfin feel like a weird comp.

[@Deode-d4h]

Yeah, it's a little odd. Luffy for me feels something like All Might or Superman, a literal superhero who embodies an ideal and is thus inherently a bit alien. Alien in the sense because they don't feel like people, but this perfect representation of an ideal. Don't get me wrong, not saying Luffy isn't a character, but that he's also an icon. Using Naruto as a comparison to Thorfinn works better, I agree.

[@internetguy08]

@msaag5490 To me luffy feels like a dude who doesn't really want to concern himself with people he doesn't care about. He doesn't really consider the consequences of his actions (like how breaking into impel down to save ace kind of lead to BB being able to invade and able to release some of the most deadly prisoners) and lives life on his own terms not bending to anyone. He's an incredibly charismatic and endearing character and one I want to follow, but not one I'm necessarily inspired by.

[@1TonyMontanaa]

I agree they’re not comparable. But there are an enormous number of grown adults who would die in the hill that luffy is more inspirational. If you go to the comments in the original post of my take you’ll see them.

[@Deode-d4h]

@@1TonyMontanaa Bruh, I love One Piece, but the most inspirational thing the Straw Hats do is whenever they do the signature "walk" and do some crazy action like burning the world government flag. If I want to look for a "traditional" scene of inspiration, Ei Sei or Shin from Kingdom doing one of their speeches would fit. Heck, I say Dr. Hiruluk has a better inspirational final speech than anything Luffy has done. The only "inspirational" thing Luffy provides is being a beacon of freedom, a sort of aura morale buff to hold onto hope and keep fighting for freedom.

[@1TonyMontanaa]

@@Deode-d4hyou and I both agree with each other. I was just saying that there are an abnormal amount of grown adults that believe luffy is the next coming of Jesus Christ.

[@thomasneuprez7323]

Honestly with the KAI version one piece isn’t super long and the pacing is really good, ok it’s not jjk season 2 pacing but it still is very good

[@AtlasAdvice254]

You know what would be a great ending for One Piece? Having the One Piece be something that Luffy would have to sacrifice his crew for or something. Like their memories, their connections, their relationships etc. As Luffy just with the quickest most nonchalant answer being "if that's what it takes to get the One Piece, then who needs it! It's worthless then compared to them." Kind of like how FMA:B ending was, where Ed willingly gave up his alchemy, despite being the STRONGEST alchemist in the world by that point, because he put more value into his loved ones than any status or power.

[@pol610]

Roger, his crew (probably), and Whitebeard saw the One Piece and did nothing on it. If the ending really is "the nakama we made along the way" i'd be fuming. Regardless, there will be a divide on the ending.

[@justinpaglia616]

Dubs are always better then subs in my opinion… it simply boils down to the fact that I just don’t want to read anything while I’m watching anime. I wanna focus on the animation.

[@drawnstorm6912]

I am a One Piece fan. 100%. It is my favourit work of fiction/ art, i have been watching it for over 10 now and am reading the manga since 2016. This story kept me alive through some of the worst parts of my live, especially when i was still a child and my world broke down around me. I will never not love this story, it will never leave my number one spot. But... I think there are better stories out there and i think Hunter x Hunter is one of them. Edit: Although Hunter x Hunter being bigger than One Piece is still (sadly) a stretch due to the problems you mentioned in the video

[@thegrimdeather3691]

Okay Nick hear me out, danny should go by dmsickle and have the podcast be called the hammer and sickle podcast

[@twistedice138]

Hot take: In adventure anime/manga, the main cast being enjoyable and well written is the most important thing

[@idiotsstuffyt3228]

Mitsuri had no focus in the swordsman village and their only role was to keep hantwngu at bay

[@emme12345654321]

Three things and ironically all One Piece related lol: 1. Ya A LOT of the government is bad but it's not fully corrupted even the revolutionary army doesn't want it all gone 2. I don't think it's a hot take to say the One Piece Anime is too long because most people understand that. ya people with Stockholm might say otherwise but I think that's the minority 3. I like most of the filler in One Piece not because it's amazing but because it adds to the adventure and usually has something of value so I personally think the long run time is fine but not the scenes they drag out to extend the length of an arc for no good reason or the constant flash backs of things we've already seen. Hopefully that makes sense

[@CaptainNukie]

I would love to see more of these. Don't ask for more though, keep going with the ones you got.

[@younesmellal2031]

HOT TAKE : ONE PIECE world building is overrated and people prise it so much because how big it is ,not how will written it is.

[@craftychicken12]

My hot take is that the side characters are almost always better than the main characters/ villains. All of the anime I've seen so far have had way more interesting/ funny side characters who are far more fun to watch than the protaganists or villains. For anyone who's interested, of the current anime I'm watching these are my favorite characters to prove my point. My Hero Academia- My favorite is Kaminari Haikyu- My favorite character would be either Nishinoya or Yamaguchi Fruits basket- Hatsuharu. No idea why, I just love him.

[@hoopsdebriefed8180]

If you skip the recap and the preview for one piece and episode is like 15 minutes . If u sit there and watch the whole thing every time that’s a skill issue or a lack of attention span.

[@BenBeClownin]

My not very hot take is that its dumb when people say jjk has "bad writing".

[@kasendaniel3896]

Hot take: cg is very good for making part of a scene really pop and stick out. Few examples the crystal scorpions from shangri la, or shigarakis giant finger mutation. They stick out in the scene, also giving a big contrast to our 2d characters and surroundings to say ‘look at me’

[@AntonioCunningham]

Heres a hot take. The pro subtitles crowd do more harm to the anime scene then any MHA fans ever could. If you mention anything negative about Subs, you you won't go without some kind of negative response.

[@Zlittlepenguin]

You don’t even have to say anything negative about subs for that to happen lol just say you prefer dubs and watch a mob of people flock to roast you.

[@I_have_goals]

Jesus his beard grew back quick

[@Comptonymous]

My biggest hot take. Lost Paradise is in actuality the sequel to HxH. The writer got tired and just made the island themself. Main character looks like Killua too.

[@Ollivian_Guy]

Bro is a konosuba connoisseur

[@xAGiiL3UnTiTL3D]

If hunter hunter didn’t have breaks it’d prolly be over by now but it would probably need better illustration to be even close to one piece. My hot take is that 58 years old is relatively young for a profession that barely requires you to draw black and white designs.(I have beef w togashi)Especially considering his chapters aren’t that well drawn girls from my high school put out similar drawings in high school

[@xAGiiL3UnTiTL3D]

He’s a fantastic story teller but the fact he’s gatekeeping the story so he can draw is is lame as hell especially when illustration is barely mid

[@HotCrossB1S]

Yeah, some people are pretty good at drawing single big pictures, but drawing fifty pages of 4-6 tiny detailed illustrations with words and gutters between them every month, hunched over a desk with crippling back problems is a little different, no? If it was really that easy to pump out manga chapters, every good artist would do it, yeah? I wouldn't call it gatekeeping a story so much as I would call it "agonizing spinal injury and dehabilitating motor function issues with the hand you literally use to draw." He seriously can't even sit down; I think it's better for all of us to just let him rest 😔

[@medificka]

Nick you should definitely give the German goku a try i think that’s the greatest voice actor I’ve ever heard!!!

Luffy dream is not just be the freest person on the planet, that is just the first half of his dream, the second half of his dream has not been revealed yet, anyone who was watching one piece since the marine ford war arc would know this.

[@seanb1637]

this dude is a generational yapper😭

[@ultrainstinctshaggy669]

Again, Hot Take: Konosuba is the funnier, cooler version of Mushoku Tensei

[@midz3647]

They are completly diffrent storys though? One is a slice of live comedy isekai with the end goal to defeat the demon king. The other is a story about trauma and charectet development with no real endgoal The only thing that are compareble are some of the tropes of iseksi both hsve (which Mushoku Tensei was the inventer of btw)

[@granv3000]

I was with you until you started trashing Isekai while showing mushoku tensei, don’t know if you have watched it or not but the way you described it almost made have an aneurysm. Btw I’m also tired of the same rinse and repeat types of Isekai, anyways I’ll go back into my cave now

[@phrozenflame3889]

I don’t know how hot a take this is, but stop blaming the anime/manga for toxic/annoying fans, the fandom should rarely if ever impact the enjoyment of something. Word of mouth is okay, but something like what happened with my hero and JJK is largely the fault of those watching it and not the product itself.

[@rimuru2343]

Crazy that youtube took the video down

[@Billybot8]

Hot take : Griffith is a more tragic character than guts.

[@gallem7029]

Something being complex to a point where someone casually reading or watching isn't understanding doesn't make something poorly written. There are plenty of complex works of art, music, books, movies, shows, etc that aren't easily understood that are masterpieces or widely regarded as great.

[@duncanisnthome8666]

Grimgar and Ash is such a good Isekai bc of how realistic the characters where.

[@Jburneyjr]

You're judging Jobless Reincarnation on something that it was not only an originator of, but every other isakai tries and fails to imitate. Not only that, his leveling sysyem makes WAYYY more sense than anyone else's. He was born as a kid, found out about the world through his parents being adventurers, learned the language, and read books on being a mage. This doesn't even get into the plot or his story arc. DONT GROUP THIS ANIME/LIGHT NOVEL WITH THE OTHERS

[@King_Mac80]

The real hot take is that Vinlands saga jarring switch up from it's first season to it's 2nd season was deceptive as hell and takes you out of the anime because you expect one thing and get a completely different story/journey in the 2nd season. Don't get me wrong the 2nd season was objectively good but that's not what I signed up for. It's like watching a movie trailer thinking it's a Batman movie but then when you watch the movie it's a story about how Bruce Wayne can save gotham as a billionaire.

[@ryanoleary2928]

Do you think that by taking the hot takes with the most votes you are artificially taking the least 'hot' of a take?

[@pigking7879]

People seems to forget that MC is not always the strongest, or even the main plot driver. MC, on the basis of the story is the main POV of the story

[@KeroKeroKuraido]

I just started One Piece on April 12th. I caught up with the anime on May 28th. I will say 100% that if someone chooses to watch all of one piece they will be rewarded with a great world full of fun characters, but also as someone who spent at least a decade or more not watching one piece because it was too long despite the praise of many people I hold dear, that show is way too fucking long to either suggest or insist that someone watch. Worth it if you want to, not if you don't.

[@joshuaanderson7027]

it would be a waste if your like 300 eps in and you dont like it iis also another factor

How the heck do you finish one piece in a month

[@Kron0s54]

Honestly, I think it really is a good recommendations as long as you specifically recommend the manga and the person is a manga reader. Yes it is a lot, but the manga doesn’t drag like the anime really does.
