I made it through about one minute of one piece once.
One of those "every trite shitty fucking anime trope fist fucked into a pile of shit" anime's. Which I'll admit ismost of them imo.
I love good anime. The problem is the overwhelming majority of it is fucking shit.
Sounds exactly like the review from someone who never watches One Piece past the 1 minute mark.
Honestly, the opposite is why I struggled to get into the show for so long. I have a bunch of messages with friends who were pushing me to watch it of "I don't get why this happens, I don't feel enjoyment out of the fights. He's doing the same thing every time and then for some reason it works the last time"
I think one piece is one of the few shows where I don't actually like the main protag. I understand Luffy's personality, and I understand that perseverance is his thing, but he takes a hammer approach for everything. I didn't like how for the first 400 or so episodes his approach to fighting anything was to hit it repeatedly, just angrier. Defeating antagonists early on seemed super unrewarding because it was the same thing he does all battle, just for some reason it works that time.
Note this does eventually change, but like the time commitment required to get to that part where it's engaging is super high. I do like the show now that it's actually starting to pick up but, I defo don't believe that I would have made it to this point if I wasn't also being pushed to since I was in a one piece DnD campaign and not understanding key elements was getting old lmao
A simple premise stretched out across way too many episodes with flat, 2 dimensional characters, unrealistic fights laden with expository dialogue, weird-looking sexualized maybe underaged girls, side arcs that do nothing for the story but are zany and stupid, increasing levels of power which coincide with exactly the right increase in enemies' power, is all this more or less in the mark?
It's just shitty anime bingo. Beyond the superficial parts it's interchangeable with all the other shitty anime.
Actually no, that doesn't sound like One Piece at all.
