Why people do/don't like One Piece...
Quote:
Another reason is that lame- question; "Pirates or Ninjas". This started in the early 2000's when the internet was getting the most popular, this question came up and led to the war of Over 9000. Apparently, the American-Manga/Anime-Fanbase (AMAF) who thought they were japanese, forced themselves without notice to like ninjas, just like they liek'd Mudkipz. I like One Piece just for the fact that I can relate to the ADHD-Energy Drink-Puppy characters. Even the men who are not ADHDEDP are totally sexy. The plot is great, the characters are great, even the filler episodes are great. Eichiro Oda's (guy who owns OP) rule is that NO ONE DIES... Except in flashbacks, or super-super-really-really important characters, or 20 years ago in the series. I only hate Spandam, the Skyepia Arc and that 4KRAP dubbed it. Funimation made it better though. Agree? Disagree? Discuss, if you may, please. :3 |

Because they can never find the One Piece, where is the One Piece?
Also, Orlando Bloom is gay. |

One Piece is very good. It's...just a bit long for my tastes. It's better than Naruto anyways.

I think One Piece was okay at the beginning. But really late in the anime, there are robots and lazers and stuff. 95% of anime turns into a Dragon Ball Z copy with every episode.

I saw a few episodes and read the first two volumes of the manga and thought they were kinda meh. Hell, the introduction thing about the pirate king guy with the narrator that sounded like Seto Kaiba made me think I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh until I looked at the screen. |

I tend to like One Piece. The action/drama/comedy & the plot are great for my tastes. It feels like I'm there with them on their adventures. :]

One piece only starts to pick up when sanji appears (around episode 20) and gets amazing once the crew get to the grand line (around episode 60 ish). I'm at episode 280 and I love it. If you think that Eiichiro Oda could copy storylines such as the arabasta arc, skypia arc, Enies lobby arc, thriller bark arc then i'd like to see where from. If you can't call bon clay original then what can you. |

What I don't like about it is that's it's stupid, keeps dragging on and the art is shit.
The abilities are stupid and borderline disgusting, the expressions the characters have are stupid, hell the characters themselves look incredibly retarded. By comparison Naruto takes itself more seriously, and that's actually a good thing, because One Piece tip-toes around the comedic-serious line and just can't decide which side it wants to be on. Plus Naruto has a vastly more interesting plot and character abilities. I don't even like Naruto that much but there you have it since you were comparing the two. |

The only thing I don't like about One Piece is it's animation. I'd say even Naruto's animation is better than the copied and pasted key frames of One Piece.

Apparently Eiichiro Oda had the ending for One Piece planned out for years...but since he enjoyed his work so much he decided to stretch out the story. There are currently 450 episodes(about 100 episodes are fillers)...and it isnt close to a conclusion. Pretty enjoyable to me nontheless.

Sorry I dragged that on for so long... Does anyone else think there should be a One Piece/Eichiro Oda Trivia, or is it just me? xD;;; |

Reasons why there are no pairings in this series. Eichiro did not use a romance theme in his series, mainly to attract more atention from male fans (this is why this show is pure "Shonen" for the Shonen Jump magazine). Examples (SPOILER ALERT!); Sanji, who is madly in love with Bon-Chan (this includes all other "Okama", or "Cross-Dressers") likes men. But you never see him dating or kissing another man. This all leads to another reason why (in which I think I already mentioned) why people like/don't like OP; no pairings. |

Scary?
Seriously, if I saw that dude in a dark alley... I'm not sure if I would die of laughter or shock first. But back on topic... I saw some One Piece when it was first coming out in the US, and I was probably eight or nine. I loved it then, but now... the ADHD-ness kind of confuses me... I guess it's just not my kind of anime. (I'm more of a Yu Yu Hakusho/Death Note kind of girl.) Last edited by FuzzyG57; 05-04-2010 at 10:10 PM. |

Apparently, no one likes 4KRAP, because they edited A LOT of things out of shows, which I understand. 4Kids makes it "for kids". I still dislike them, mostly because of their dubbing of One Piece. Most black people are edited to look white, blood/cigarettes/cleavage/dirogitory symbols are cut out, the series was shortened due to editing... One Piece's main target was at Teenagers, not children. Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Magical DoReMi, and Dinosaur King, I can see them all as children's shows, especially "Tama and Friends", but not One Piece. You go take a long look at some of the scenes in that show, and you tell me, looking into my eyes and tell me that this is Y7 appropriate... (don't know if that's possible though, unless you had the power to stare into my eyes by staring strenuously at the monitor for long periods of time... I'd get you Dairy Queen if you do accomplish that). |

So then why would they try to market it for kids? To make a buck or two while blowing the rest on editing out copious amounts of footage? Why bother editing it at all if it's obviously meant for teens? ... I am now determined to invent a way to look through the internet and stare (though that could be called a webcam, that would be far too easy). And as soon as I invent that, you will send me my Dairy Queen, also over the internet. Sound good? |

I actually tried out watching One Piece way back when, but unfortunately that was before I was wise to the evils of 4Kids and I watched the dub. Oh dear God... I mean I see the appeal to it in that it's pirates, adventuring, absolute spaztic crack, and there's a lot for fans to infer but some of the cast is just unbearable, the story is God-awful long, and there seems to be a lack of direction to it.
I hear and get the argument that the lack of pairings is detrimental to it's appeal and agree. While personally I don't like having pairings shoved down my throat it is nice to see nuances between characters that could be jumped on or rejected. Consider this is coming from someone that's only scratched the surface and might, one day, try to go further in depth but at first glance and a few episodes (regretably done by 4Kids) it didn't capture my interest right away. |

also, Akira Toriyama is Oda's idol, hence the DragonBall influence in Luffy's character, Oda was also the assistant on Rurouni Kenshin before he got his own break on another note, i read above that someone said that Hiro Mashima, the author of FairyTail, copied Oda's style of art? One Piece released; August 4, 1997 FairyTail released; August 23, 2006 now hold up, yes, that is 9 years after One Piece was released... but let's look at Mashima's other works... his original work, Groove Adventure Rave was originally conceived in 1998, and published in 1999, which means he started only one year after Oda got One Piece published... that's, honestly, not enough time to "copy" someone's art style in such a way as to get yourself published and have a solid storyline going. also, Mashima's "reactions" are completely different to what Oda does, and when i started Rave, i found them quite unique! where was i going with this... oh yea! i'm a massive One Piece fan, and have religiously read the manga every single week for the past six and a half to seven years! i have all the manga and am currently saving enough to buy the DVDs of the Funi dub... i like to think of myself as an authority of sorts on One Piece >> << IGNORE ME |

No Romance!!! I love One Piece pairings! Though their are main that can be made! But if you need a place to watch it is easy watchone-piece.com is AMAZING! They have the movies too.
Sometimes it is because of the long range of episodes, and frankly you don't wanna someone who isn't gonna but their heart into it. I lost track of one piece for awhile since I started dubbed, but then I spent hours of time catching up in almost 200 episodes it is a show that you need passion for the characters to really be interested. I used to like Naruto, but their characters are sooooo generic and some of their ideas I've read on fanfiction before seeing it in the show. |

Well, frankly Natsu from Fairy Tale has a near identical personality to Luffy, Erza's backstory and the Tower of Heaven arc is similar to the Enies Lobby arc and Robin's backstory, that panel of Charle crying is similar to when Nami is crying and asking luffy for help during the Arlong arc *could go on* Don't get me wrong, I love One Piece and Fairy Tale, but there are a lot of similarities XD I've been reading One Piece for only about a year, but I'm absolutely obsessed ^_^''''' It's just addictive, so free-spirited and stuff ^_^ ....

Naruto was one of the first animes i saw when I was younger, but after a while I heard about One Piece and started to watch it. It was goofy, different and a little extreme with it's kind of humor, but in a strang way, I liked it (No, I didn't see the 4Kids dub, and thank Ra for that). After around 18 episodes, I skipped a whole lot and continues at the Thriller Bark Arc since I though the story was a little slow and I wanted to catch up to those who had followed the serie from the start. It was a little confusing in the beginning, but I began to read the One Piece Wikia and got really addicted to the characters, the powers and the whole One Piece Universe! What I think makes One Piece spesial is the difference from other shows. Yes, One Piece and their characters are based of others work, but it's totally possible to make something unique out of something else. Just think about it. Every artist's work are based of someone else's work, even if it's music, drawing, texts, etc...

It saddens me how many people don't have the slightest clue that the series is being dubbed by FUNimation in its original form, and it saddens me how many of you are bashing the series based on the 4Kids dub. You guys really have no idea what you are missing.
One Piece is NOT about finding the One Piece. It's about the adventure and the government conspiracies along the way. Ut has hardly gone off course and it's about to enter into its final stage after a long 13 years run. It's also the best selling series in Japan, ranking high above the likes of Naruto and Bleach. It rivals the Draganball franchise and many believe it will surpass it as a legend when it finally ends. |
