Honestly, the anime isn't even good. Like, I'm still reading the manga, but I had to stop watching the anime something like 10 years ago.

I've heard it has gotten better since then, but watching the whole thing still includes years worth of episodes so thinly streched you could probably watch every third one without missing anything. And that's on top of arcs so long, they are even a slog to read through (Dressrosa and Wano).

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 15 points 4 weeks ago

I agree, actually.

The quality is monstrously inconsistent, and even though the animation is at times absolutely mind-blowing in newer episodes (look up some clips, its amazing) the SFX department is still working with what are now ancient audio samples, which for me, still ruins it.

Ok so I know that this is controversial, but if I recommend One Piece to a new person I recommend the live action. I know it has its flaws, BUT, it cleans up the pacing issues that I had in the early series. It honestly feel way more accessible than the daunting +1000 episodes, that’s not a binge watch, that’s a depressive episode.

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 10 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, that is controversial.

Since, if you just want to get into it, they literally did a movie version of the beginning of the story called "Episode of East Blue", which IIRC is pretty good.

It's a very compressed re-telling of the East Blue saga, and skips stuff like Logue Town, but it's well acted, animated and scored. And isn't live-action.

One Pace exists

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 2 points 4 weeks ago

Are they even close to caught up?

[-] MidRomney@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I think they finished up to Wano. But you can always switch to the original anime once you catch up if you want.

Does it remove all the annoying flashbacks, recaps and opening/closing themes in the episodes?

Or does it just remove filler episodes?

The problem with OnePiece is that because it used to release 1 episode per week, it needed to recap so many things that happened in the previous episode for the people to follow.

Which becomes so annoying when you binge watch them since they are repeating the same scene over and over.

Removing those would make the entire episodes less than 10 minutes a piece.

And if you turn it into a movie, you could watch an entire arc in like 2 hours.

[-] MidRomney@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

You should look at all the work they put into it. They did custom fan edits to make the anime match the manga's pace, hence the name. I think they removed about 1/3rd of the original anime's runtime.

It's how I watched One Piece on my most recent watch, and I wouldn't watch it any other way in the future.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 23 points 4 weeks ago

No. Thanks.

Recommending series with +1000 episodes should be illegal

[-] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

You have weak genes and a weak constitution, but don't worry. One Piece will fix them both.

Start One Piece now.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I gave up on endless anime after I binged 200 episodes of Naruto 20 years ago. I maintain that it's virtually impossible to sustain an interesting storyline over hundreds of chapters, and it either just becomes very silly or they end up basically recycling plot points.

[-] blindsight@beehaw.org 3 points 4 weeks ago

Epicly long light novels are like that, too. Like in xianxia, they're weak and looked down upon, but, due to [secret hidden ultra advantage], they advance quickly until they can defeat the bullies. Which brings them to a new tier of power where they're weak and looked down upon, ...

Some series do a good job of expanding the scope of things so politics start playing a bigger role, and they interact with people multiple tiers above their power for more continuity/scope, and/or move to new worlds/environments with entirely new structures, etc.

Others just do the same thing over and over again. Most do both, lol.

I find I can't binge the same thing for more than a few weeks before I need a "palate cleanser" series before going back.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 weeks ago

Coward.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I started watching like a year ago.

It never became good entertainment. Doing nothing is better. Thinking about what you want from life is better, and downright necessary if you've gotten into One Piece.

I truly learned what it meant for a fight scene to take like 3 episodes or whatever. It's disturbing. So many long, repeated stills, with "exciting" music and horrible dialogue.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 weeks ago

Did you ever watch DBZ? I've only ever seen the live action one piece, but your description of a fight scene lasting 3 episodes sounds like DBZ.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 1 points 4 weeks ago

I might be misremembering, but I feel like both the stranded pirate ship fight where they'd picked up Usopp and the "wax guy" fight on the giant island lasted 3 episodes. Or they were just so boring and slow they felt like it.

Never seen DBZ, don't intend to.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 4 weeks ago

I think that if you're a kid of a teenager, you can get hooked up and grow watching it. But after that? Pretty hard. I was curious and watched the first season, it was ok, but too long and slow, for my taste.

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 15 points 4 weeks ago

I did, really enjoyed it. Waiting on season 2

[-] MentalEdge@ani.social 5 points 4 weeks ago

No, not like that.

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, like that. Anyone who genuinely think the anime equivalent of episodes is better quality/story/entertainment than the live action are delusional fanboys.

Usually it's the live action that is slop

That is not the case for One Piece. It's the opposite.

[-] asbestos@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

why is this so well drawn

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 weeks ago

PBC has a really neat art-style. I linked to their twitter in post body, but you can find their stuff all over.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 4 weeks ago

In the time it takes you to watch One Piece, you could learn to play the guitar good enough to perform, or learn a foreign language at conversational level.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

I started One Pace but switched to reading the comic. I'm at around 705 in the comic currently. It's fine.

[-] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 weeks ago

I watch probably more than 1000 anime episodes a year...Could be a lot lot more.....but i would say...oone piece is really to long. Manga lost me after 42 volumes and anime...ehhhhh

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

I'm not young anymore. I will no longer dedicate significant time to any TV show. 26 episode series are creatively ideal. I already have hundreds of books, records, and films to finish, and too little time even for them.

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 2 points 4 weeks ago

But there's so much else on my "to watch" list!

And it's been, like, 12 hours since my last Wolfs Rain rewatch, so I'm kinda late to that, y'know?
