Why is One Piece so popular?
>>218644323its faithful to the source, not cynical, its colorful and fun in an age where everything is grey. it has actual sets instead of greenscreens. it has a lot going for it. its a very charming show. my normie mom even liked it
>>218644323I guess I contributed to this. I wasn't going to watch it. Then family tragedy struck and I needed comfort slop. As someone who has watched the anime it's ok. It does s great job getting through the begining arcs which are a slog in anime. its pretty good slop .
>>218644323Turns out people are sick and tired of grim, bleak, cynical, entitled, preachy crap from DEI writers and directors who actively hate the fans, and just want something positive and fun. Go figure.
the story is pure soul, it exists outside the asian anime world where all stories feel related, OP is entirely its own thing and no other series successfully handles pirates besdes Pirates of Caribbean which is a closed series by now
There are a lot of One Piece fans.
>>218644323Third worlders.
>>218644512>people are sick and tired of grim, bleak, cynical, entitled, preachy crap from DEI writers and directors who actively hate the fansOkay but you didnt explain why they're watching One Piece
>>218644480>which are a slog in the animethe beginning arcs are legit some of the best parts of the show, they absolutely mog the post TS material and they're just a bit below Alabasta and Water 7/Enies Lobby but still better than Thriller Bark
Is that number supposed to be impressive? I have no idea
>>218644323Well, shit. We are getting 10 seasons of this.
>>218644323SEAmonkeys and Huehuehue's.
>>218644565because One Piece is none of those things and suggests an optimistic adventurous world that concerns freedom and the pursuit of myth and legend
>>218644323I hope that some greedy exec somewhere is now going through popular 80-90s anime on a quest to find the next One Piece, and it's going to be Macross
>>218644595The live action is also popular in Japan, Taiwan, and a bunch of European countries like Germany and Italy. Cope.
>>218644631its gonna be naruto or dragon ball
>>218644631Seriously doubt that. They will go through all big shonenshit first.
>>218644323I look forward to not a single person remembering this show in 5 years
Nonwhites are actually the majority.
>>218644407>Faithful to the source>Half the cast are niggersok
>>218644323sweaty abs
>>218644732>5 yearsPeople went from claiming this was a god tier show in S1 to never talking about it after 2 months.
>>218644756don't ever reply to me again you subhuman faggot
>>218644323>Luffy>Dunk the Tall>SupermanThe age of gritty nihilistic anti-heroes is over
>>218644323It’s fun and has a pretty wholesome message at its core.
>>218644595>>218644557It's funny because on Twitter the people complaining 24/7 about "Third Worlders" watching One Piece are Amerimutts with names like "Jon Del Arroz" who think they're White
>>218644714This and big magical girls series. Won't be surprised if they start doing live action isekai too.
>>218644407>its faithful to the sourceNo it's not.
>>218644836don't reply to me if you're gonna talk out your ass
>>218644836Stop replying you subhuman faggot
>>218644323The voice actress for Goku was asked what she thought made the character so popular all over the world. She said “Goku is everyone’s friend.” Luffy is very similar in that way. Western culture and storytelling usually presents a hero who begins their journey flawed and must overcome external obstacles and internal flaws to overcome and win in the end. The philosophy inherent to that kind of storytelling is individualism: the message is you must change to triumph. Series like Dragonball and One Piece often have the criticism that their protagonists have no character development. This is because they follow a different kind of character arc: the flat arc. The main character doesn’t really change because it’s the world around them that is flawed and the main character by sheer force of will changes it. This kind of story is refreshing to an audience that’s been told the opposite by narrative media their entire lives
>>218644786Superman flopped and now Paramount will kill it for good.
>>218644631>harmony gold jews vs. hollywood jewsThe battle of the century.
>>218644631Naruto (Lionsgate)My Hero Academia (Netflix)Voltron (Amazon Prime) with Cavill!!! Not sure about that, Voltron is pretty goofy and the tech doesn't translate well into live action assets.
>>218644867>>218644871Very sane behavior, jeet-kun.
>>218644940don't reply to me
I will now watch your show
>>218644631Gundam is right there and is similar to One Piece insofar as there's so much content that it's daunting to a neophyte who didn't get into it at a young age.
>>218644715Why did Macross drop the ball so hard? Such a rich galaxy full of proto culture offsprings and they focus on idols and weirdness galore
i started watching One Piece for the first time a while ago and now i am exactly where the tv show is, Chopper just showed up
Season 1 got a huge boost too.Surely Netflix will renew for season 4/5
usopp is better in the live action than the manga but we aren't ready for this discussion
>>218645022gundam consists of dozens of series and timelines where almost every series is a completely different entity than the one that came before.one piece is a straight line, you start from chapter/episode 1 and then keep going.they are not the same.
>>218645111The dinsosaurs was pretty good as well. Back to formula.
>>218645206yeah but that's a plus from a Western marketing perspective because it allows for endless spinoffs, reboots, etc just like with Marvel/DC capeshit.
>>218645206True, they have already settled on the only Gundam timeline that mattersIt is confirmed to be set in the Universal Century. Rumors suggest it’s a "star-crossed lovers" story (think 08th MS Team vibes) set during the One Year War.
>>218645180Live action characters that are better than their anime/manga counterparts:UsoppWapolSmokerHiriluk Mr. 9Mr. 3Mr. 5Miss GoldenweekMiss ValentineBuggy is very strong as well and the actor for Croc will likely do a great job in Season 3.
>>218645441the giants too, and the laboon story is better in the LA as well
>>218645441Sanji is better in live action, at least thus far
>>218644323I just watched a bit of S1 (live action) to remind myself. Its obviously really campy and goofy. But why didnt they just make it a kids show. Like why have blood and swearing? It would cost nothing to not have them
Would roger the cabin boy
>>218645441they made the villains way more threatening than in the manga, its a good change in my opinion. having the baroque works kill their own when they fuck up gives them a much more threatening feel instead of just being campy weirdos. a lot of people don't like that they kill off more people in the LA but i think it helps make luffy stand out as the ethical and pure pirate in comparison
>>218645595He talks like a london nigger
>>218644576The beginning arcs in east blue are childish and retarded- made even worse by the shitty pacing. I remember in the anime it took like 10 episodes for Luffy to run down a hill just so he could start fighting the Jango Michael Jackson guy.
>>218645733That's a girl who chopped her tits off.
>>218645595Mihawk continuing to haunt Zoro in Season 2 is also a good way of keeping him relevant in case they ever make it to Marineford
>>218644631Legend of Galactic Heroes or Fairy Tale with all fanservice intact please.
>>218645882Id use her like a boy if that's what she wants
Usopp is also better in LA. He's way less annoying with his pathological lying and better humor than anime Usopp. Luffy jobs more to enemies who he one shotted in the manga but I guess it makes things more exciting. Robin is perfection. Nami is great too but I fear she will wall soon.
>>218644323Was never a huge fan of One Piece and it's just way too long to get into but I knew the gist of the story. I actually enjoyed watching this and I usually hate adaptations, especially Netflix ones. I don't know, it's like they finally hit a bullseye with this one. I really enjoyed it.
Assuming we get the best scenario and they actually manage to push it to marineford with the same 8 ep per season split, how would you distribute the arcs?I would go for >s3 alabasta (obviously)>s4 jaya, skypeia and water 7>s5Ennies lobby, thriller bark >s6Sabaody, Amazon lily, marinefordI honestly can't imagine them spending an entire season on skypeia.
>>218645002Who killed the T-rex? Zoro or Sanji? My vote is for Zoro
>No full Bink's Brew because of copyright issues
>>218646273Sanji snapped the neck, Zoro just did a shitty little sword wound on it which wouldn't insta kill
>>218646050>make a fairly faithful adaptation in terms of characters, tone and worldbuilding>people like itIt took 9 YEARS for Netflix to crack this "mystery" kek Assuming you use death note as a starting point
>>218646329That can't be true. What i did hear is they wanted to fire Avita and recast but the actress threatened to sue Netflix, then went on a crash course ozempic diet, but still was fat in S2 anyways.
>>218646373Japan made it but the Kenshin Rouroni LA movies are also great.
>>218645750>they made the villains way more threatening than in the manga, its a good change in my opinionThe problem is it means Luffy has been nerfed hard.If you look at S2 Luffy>BTFO by Buggy and saved by his Dad>BTFO by Smoker and saved by his Dad>Hypnotised by Vivi and Igram who could have killed him if they wanted to>Barely beat Mr 3>Wapol would have killed him if Vivi didn't save him with the wire Now next season he is gonna be fighting Croco
>>218644323Slopworld is in full effect.
>>218646238They're going to have to replace the cast every couple of seasons
>>218646477it allows for a more traditional growth narrative rather than him being op from the start which i can see people being upset with but i think they've handled it well by having luffy solve problems using his heart and emotional intelligence rather than just hitting everything. i'm sure he will continue to get more op as the series progresses, its probably a change made to appeal to more general audiences and i don't really think its a bad one. it also allows the rest of the straw hats more time to shine which is more important in a live action show
>>218646477>BTFO by Smoker and saved by his DadThats literally what happened in the manga too retard
>>218646528Skip SkypeiaS4 Ennies Lobby/Water 7S5 Thriller BarkS6 MarinefordYou then have a timeskip anyway so it makes sense
>>218645111Theres the reason why is so popular. The rest is absolute dross
>>218645180We had a bump limit thread about it
>>218646528>They're going to have to replace the cast every couple of seasonsWhy? Literally all actors are past puberty age already. It's only a problem if the actors are pre menopause or literal children. Otherwise Hollywood just does some magic
>>218644323lots of brown people in the world
>>218646627Skipping Skypiea and Jaya is the most retarded thing they can do. I feel like Thriller Bark can be condensed to 2-3 episodes though.
>>218645733It's gonna be so weird if they ever get to the parts where he's supposed to become a beefy gigachad
>>218646693Back to One Woke After Another, totally white man.
>dr kureha actress is 72 years old irlHoly GILF
>>218645051The entire point of Macross is idol music saving the world.
>>218646748Jaya is definitely not skippable as it introduces Blackbeard. Skypeia is an insanely standalone arc however and basically has zero implications for the remaining story. It's also incredibly bloated, it's literally as long as alabasta.
>>218646373To be fair, One Piece is basically the only manga with somewhat coherent world building, or at least enough of it to get people interested in learning about itChrist, imagine trying to get people invested in the magical world of Naruto, where there are a dozen walking nukes produced basically 100 meters from each other, and the world's actual government got off-screened in one panel
>>218646238Skypiea was long in the manga but it can be easily condensed.
>>218646477Three of those things happened in the mangaThe hypnotism happened to Zoro
>>218646967They need it for dials and Merry getting fucked up. It's just going to be shorter. Most people agree it was too long in the manga and way too long in the anime.
>>218646844She's extremely goonable in Married With Children
>>218646983>One Piece is basically the only manga with somewhat coherent world buildingLOL what? If you read 5 in your life maybe.
>>218644323Spicslop, like dragon ball z. Mindless garbage those third worlders fucking love.
>>218646627The Marineford question is oddAre they even allowed to have an entire season that just doesn't have the entire cast except Luffy, from a union perspective?
>>218646984>>218647037Anons original point was that skypeia should be an entire season, which I was arguing against. I think they'll go for what I said here >>218646238 and pull in some of water 7 into s4.Probably gonna be 2 episodes jaya, 3-4 episodes skypeia, and the rest ist water 7 intro
Unironically because latinos love it
>>218647075You've got FMA, One Piece, and what else?You gonna tell me Sakamoto Days gets you lost in the amazing world of convenience store ownership?
>>218644323Women go crazy when they see Asian men.
>>218647197>name is literally mackin' you
>>218647197I found it hilarious that this season managed to show off that literally everyone of the main cast is ripped, including nami kek
>>218646967Moon niggas will be relevant any day now
>>218647142They could do one season of them separate, condensing the snake island, Impel Down, Marineford and training sendoff and splice it all with glimpses of what the rest of the crew find on their islands. Then if they did a season after that, it could begin with the annoying Sabo flashback condensed heavily and reunion.
>>218644323There are a lot more non-white people with internet access nowadays
>>218647145Nah if it does cover Skypiea, I imagine Aokiji dabbing on everyone and taking Robin being the stinger for the following season
>>218647191Wow you're retarded
>>218647191Not him but you're a plebHere's some more animu with massive worldbuilding:>Hunter x hunter >code geass>cowboy bebop>made in abyssAnime that is considered to have great worldbuilding but is actually surprinsgly barebones:>attack on titan>neon genesis evangelion
>>218647191Oh shit FMA. They're going to do FMA. It doesn't need that much CG either.
>>218647142>Are they even allowed to have an entire season that just doesn't have the entire cast except Luffy, from a union perspective?Make it a couple movies
>>218644714>live action narutocan they capture the rock lee vs gaara kino in live action or is it impossible?
>>218644407Everything looks like shit and the acting sucks, is this the just one big gas lightning operation and I didn't receive an invite?
>>218647520Hong Kong cinema and Tony Jaa have made thousands of fights that are similar levels of kino.
>>218647415>>neon genesis evangelionThis is what I want as live action
>>218647415>HxHSure but dead>GeassNever watched it, everyone I know who has is a huge fag, reading about it sounds like complete nonsense but I'll pass no judgement>BebopFrom what I remember it was episodic space adventures with very little world building>MiAPerhaps but it's irrelevant to this conversation as there is absolutely no chance of it getting the OP treatment
>>218647520No, speed blitzing is a large part of the fight looking cool and it's never looked good in live action
>>218647439Can unions really just force shows to give actors screen time even if their characters don't fit in with the story? That's bullshit. Fuck Hollywood unions.
>>218647611>retarded speedwatcher contrarian thinks he's making some sort of point I was just answering your question which anime has worldbuilding, retard.
>>218647611sounds like you don't know what world building even means
show me some gumu gumo no actioni want to see how shit it looks
>>218647611Live action Madoka>live action Gushing Over Magical Girls>>218647643Just look at prime Donny Yen movie fights.
>>218644323thats like the population of a large town or a small city, thats not alot thats like 800 people per city in the united states if only people in the united states living in cities watched the show if you spread that out over all of europe and canada and stop confining yourself to cities that is basically nobody
Why is luffy brazilian?
>>218647679Being in a starring role is a huge commitment for an actor to take onIt's kind of fucked up to say "ok you can only have this role if you can be completely absent for two seasons then come back prepped to take the starring role again", especially if it's something like Zoro where they made him get jacked as fuckMakes getting other work very difficult while providing nothing for your portfolio
>>218647785Luffy is incredibly Brazilian coded desu, what other nationality would he be?
>>218647918Cuban
>>218647918>what other nationality would he be?japanese
>>218647750europe plys usa and canada is about 1 billion if we cut that in half to account for children and people who dont watch tv we have 500 million leaving them having captured 3% of possible slop consumers, and thats only if you believe the inflated numbers they are giving
>>218647957Doesn't fit the Japanese ethos and personality AT ALL>>218647946Meh I think Brazilian fits better
>>218646273opened gut could not instantly kill bro, the dino would suffer many many hours before dying. He even fell down only because Sanji
>>218644323Third worlders make up a very large population of anime watchers. One piss is literally about third worlders. Not hard to understand
>>218646477He literally defeated Mr3 the same he did in this and struggled just as much.
>>218646477All of that literally the same in manga. and he was drunk and sleeping so everyone in WP could have killed him if they weren't busy with Zoro
>>218647822If it's part of the story, no it isn't. How do you permanently kill off characters with stupid union rules like this?
>>218646686They will be looking 50 in season 3 idiot.
>>218648152A permanent kill off is different from having them gone for seasons at a time but expecting them to come back
>>218644323>viewership down 5% from season 1 It's never been so over. Especially since they massively increased the budget for S2.
>>218647546>Everything looks like shit and the acting sucksGo watch Star Trek Academy then.
>>218644557/thread
>>218648315Netflix no longer has any big hitters left.
>>218648161Season 3 already began filming last year
>>218644793>you're like me! Truly the most devastating insult a brown can sling.
>>218647415There's Dungeon Meshi as well which I could honestly see Netflix do a live action adaptation of at some point (Emily Rudd already voices Marcille in the english dub)
>>218647546>Everything looks like shit and the acting sucks, is this the just one big gas lightning operationAt this point I'm convinced the people complaining about the show are more likely to be ESLs than the people who enjoy the show.
>>218647281>one piece india
>>218648210What if it's in their contract? Also when they come back it's post timeskip. Just recast everyone strawhat besides Luffy. Brook, Franky and Chopper are probably CG anyways.
>>218644323It is probably Japan's biggest export in recent memory. They had a graphic of it on a flag back when they hosted the olympics, alongside dragonball and sailor moon.
>>218649596The whole point of the unions are to prevent contracts which are genuinely exploitative like that
why is he a jeet? you shouldn't pay me to watch this
question for the manga readers do we know where devil fruit come from?
>>218649728Devils.
>>218649728Yes, but it won't be explained in the LA since it happens way later, and tbf, it is kind of underwhelming
>>218647785>>218649724The actor is mexican you retards
>>218644586>virgin river: season 7 this better be about what i hope its about
>>218649728They just kinda show up, we still have basically no idea
why is he black?
>>218649724>you shouldn't pay me to watch thisrats I thought that was a foolproof plan
>>218649728Basically. They're mass induced tulpas you eat
>>218649728From what I remember they spawn on random fruit trees randomly, with only one variety existing at a time until the user dies. They are also related to people's dreams, as in every power is really something someone dreamed of. Beyond this nothing.
>>218644407Everyone gonna keep giving you shit but you're absolutely right. The fact is the world is extremely cynical and jaded these days and One Piece LA is anything but. It's literally "the power of friendship and kindness: the show" but somehow doesn't dip too far into stupidity/cartoony weirdness too often. There are times when it pulls me out, but they are brief. The acting is genuinely good, which carries the show in some instances, and even when it's bad, it's bad in such contexts/scenes as to actually be fine. Bottom line is it has heart top to bottom and a production value that can bring the weird "anime-ness" to life with all kinds of odd background characters and sets. I hope it continues for as long as it can because I'm really enjoying it.
its crazy how wapol looks exactly like he does in the manga how did they find a guy who looks like that
Why did they cast an actual money?
>>218650007one of a variety*
Why did the unluckies look way better than Chopper? You'd think the CGI budget would go to someone who's going to become a mainstay.
>>218650029>an actual money
I love Emily so much it is unreal.
>>218644323>16.8 views over 4 daysThat's literally fucking nothing.
>>218647918An Australian abo
>>218649679It's not exploitative to say "we want you for 4 seasons then come back in 2 years if you want to". The point of unions is for the leaders to grift and shake down studios for more cash than they deserve.
>>218645073do u like it
>>218651670>It's not exploitative to say "we want you for 4 seasons then come back in 2 years if you want to".TV shows are not planned like that, and Netflix ones especially aren't like that.
>>218650012>production valuesThe anime looks awful. I grew up with Dragon Ball and other 80's and 90's shonens and One Piece makes me want to vomit. Yeah ofc I'm not the target audience by at least 15 years
>>218644756>>218644778most of the cast in the original manga are criminals so it's ok.
people who watch this think kamen riderslop is good
i was a hardcore weeb as a kid in the 2000s, back when you were an actual nerd and bullied for it. nowadays anime is for normies.I watched one piece up to the cp9 arc and then i dropped offits a fun adventure story about family and friendship.one piece seems like it was more popular in third world countries though, naruto was the white mans shonen
>>218644323Think how many browns there are in the world OP That’s your answer
>>218645923I’d love a live action legend of the galactic heroes, but man is that show not friendly to normies
>>218646983It’s the only popular one with a coherent world, but there are others. A one season high budget live action adaptation of Steel Ball Run would be amazing.
>>218653044If you look at which race uses which anime as profile pictures, you’d know that jojo is the white mans anime.
>>218646967Lmao fuck ff skypea-skipper niggerIt's by far the best adventure filled arc
>>218646967>Arc where Robin discovers a ponyglph and the road ponyglyphs>SkippableJust because something is repeated over and over again it doesn't make it true.
>>218646967You're a colossal retard, Skypiea is basically a microcosm of the entire story, it could not be more relevant.
>>218653085correctwhite people prefer korean media now
>>218644323Netflix is cheaper outside the US.
>>218653686nope, only brown people and fat girls like kpop, mainstream white people dont like it because it lacks soul and all the plastic gooks look the same
There is simply one answer only
>>218653464Skypeia has a very strong beginning and end, but the middle is boring as fuck. The trials suck.
>>218651903>then come back in 2 years if you want to".Anyone negotiating employment can easily tell that this means "if you decline to be ok with being on standby and prepped for two years you aren't getting hired"
I just want to hear Enel say:>People do not fear God, fear itself is God.It's gonna be peak kino.
>>218653904The entire ending of Skypeia is extremely cinematic.
so when is everyone gonna admit they don't really care about if something is good or not, but just that it consistently gives them something to drone out to on a regular basis? <popular show> watching is essentially drug use for people who are somehow even more boring than low-functioning addicts.
it's good, it's kinda a comfy old school 90s cheesy after school tv show feel
>>218654111>so when is everyone gonna admit they don't really care about if something is good or notIt is objectively good.><popular show> watching is essentially drug use for people who are somehow even more boring than low-functioning addicts.Who hurt you?
>>218654183right so the answer to my question is "we will never admit it." got it.
>>218654111>>218654268You seem like a joyless fuck
>>218654268No, the answer is that the show is legitimately good with actual merits, and you're a joyless miserable fag.
>>218654304personal attacks on me won't fill the hole and endless capitalism warped retellings of shonen series (which are also designed to be consistent cash flow generators) won't either.
>>218654351>MUH LATE STAGE CAPITALISM BE MISERABLE LIKE ME DON'T ENJOY ANYTHING HATE THAT COMPANIES MAKE GOOD PRODUCTS THAT MAKE MONEYYYYYY
>>218644323>>218644407Reminder: don't watch Netflixs adaptation, they're woke trash who hate low waisted clothing, they'll censor every Nami outfit, they'll censor every Robin outfit, don't support woke trash or they'll keep making woke trash without women wearing low waisted clothing.
>>218654398uh oh baby mad. here, let me jingle some keys for you. ooo boo boo. ooooooo jingle jingle. feewing bettew?
>>218654450They had an actual scene of Nami in a bikini stfu. The know that one of the key aspects of the female characters is that they're sexually attractive.
there are really people who do nothing but watch culture war podcasters and youtubers who post here shitting on what other people watch kek
>>218644407>its colorful and fun in an age where everything is grey
>>218654528posted it again award
>>218654458I accept your concession of defeat.
This looks like one of the biggest piles of shit I will ever avoid watching.
>>218644605That's 99% of movies and shows.
>>218654613alright. this guy is actually not being serious. he's just baiting everyone go home
>>218654528wow. this was epic. i'm literally gasping for air right now. how do they do it bros?
>>218646373The one is different though. It feels... western.
>>218654494>The know that one of the key aspects of the female characters is that they're sexually attractive.Kek
>>218654699how many times have you posted this exact pic? my guess is 50+ but i think it could be a lowball
>>218654690I know right?
>>218654692The pirate setting itself is western though.
>>218654641Look at the top 10 movies of 2025.
>>218654726Everytime you lie I post it

brazillian luffy became a better actor between seasons
>>218655099Well that's simply not true.
>>218655144Sadly I think it might beHe was that bad in Season 1 that I think he's right
>>218655099Luffy's actor is Mexican.
>>218644323Normalfags and consumers will latch onto preexisting series so they can feel a sense of inclusion. Normally they stay away because anime is icky outside of a few exceptions and One Piece is daunting due to how many chapters/episodes has to get through. So the live action shit is their chance to get on the bandwagon.
>>218655310OK boomer
>>218644323brown ppl
>>218655361they're too busy watching salo lol
>>218655345I’m 25, go back to your slop, you have enough as it in you don’t need more.
>>218645645>But why didnt they just make it a kids show.Because the last time they tried to make One Piece kid friendly, it was universally hated.It's a show about pirates. You lose what makes it fun when you try to remove the booze, violence, and debauchery.
>>218655401Oh grandpa, your stories got you in a mood again?
Speak with the average normie. They watch whatever the fuck they're told to watch
Vivi and the little deer were CUTE!
>>218646477>Now next season he is gonna be fighting CrocoYou know he lost to Crocodile twice in the manga, right?
>>218655310>preexistingwhy are incels so obsessed with this word?
>>218644323It's fun and cartoonish well done
>>218655720And that’s why crocodile is the best character in the entire series.
>>218655720But then Luffy bled on him, making him the victor
>>218654699She's hot as fuck you flaming homo. It's clear you weigh 350 lbs and have never touched a woman.
>>218644323Girlfriendslop
>>218653044One Piece and Naruto are massive in Africa and the French African community. Being a pirate is very relatable to these populations.
>>218645441>>218645180Zoro is better in the Live Action but nobody will ever be ready for this discussionRegardless, I'm still right
>>218644323It’s a fun show that doesn’t take itself so seriously
>>218655798High rise skirts will never be hot
>>218655929you never had sex lol
>>218646627You don't have to skip Skypiea entirely, it can be done in 2 episodes easily The core story of Jaya/Skypiea is not that vast. The manga just got really bogged down in the backstory of sky island, misery-porn so you feel bad for the islanders oppressed by Enel, and then the usual Oda trademark of>and this is the part where the crew has to split up into a bunch of groups so I can draw maps and diagrams of where everybody is while they do pointless side-quests before meeting back up!You can cut a lot of that out. The meat of Skypiea is Nolan, the quest for the golden city, fighting Enel, and ringing the Bell. 2 Episodes ez.
>>218655725Why are trannies so obsessed with invading IP that werent made for them?
>>218656076What is a 'preexisting series', chudcel?
>>218655961>you never had sex lol
>>218647785
>>218655929They are if the girl wearing it is hot. You're a gay closeted virgin.
>>218655661Your entire film experience is Star Wars and capeshit.
>>218656111An IP that existed way before you zoomer troons butchered it with your DEImakes, adaptations or remasters, you are a what's know as a tourist
>>218656157YWNBAW
>>218656152its pretty crazy how close they stuck to this outside of brook
>>218649728We have a "theory", from Dr. Vegapunk the smartest man in the world, unfortunately his explanation was a little underwhelmingBasically: They are a physical manifestation of peoples' aspirations throughout history. "I want to be like this". "I wish I could do that". Somehow, this willpower (inherited wills/dreams are real and tanginble in One Piece, and Willpower itself is a somewhat measurable force and resource (Haki) manifests as different devil fruits that contain the "dreams" of those people. So Smoker's fruit is because somebody somewhere once really wanted to be made of smoke, I guess. It's an extremely unscientific and vague explanation coming from Mr. Science Man, and he just concludes that loredump by saying "we truly live in an amazing world, don't we?!"so yeahalso the reason the Sea drains Devil Fruit users of their strength is because the Sea represents Mother Nature - who views these devil fruit powers as abberant, slights against nature, unnatural and thus is an antagonistic force to them
>>218656203This has to be a bot, it only regurgitates meme words
>>218645238>The dinsosaursIs David Attenborough narrating it?Walter Cronkite?I'll watch it if it's an actual documentary. Please don't tell me they depict "homosexual" dinosaurs.
>>218656355Cope
White people use their time watching better shows. One Piece is not one of them.
>>218656076One Piece is for everyoneThat's Oda saying that, not meEiichiro Oda is not a based /pol/ racist chud who cares about your western political and social hang-upsHe is basically a free-wheeling hippie who loves diversity, freedom, tolerance, acceptance, and whimsy The Revolutionary Army that opposes the tryannical world government has a Dr. Frankenfurter homage as their 2nd in command and half their forces are literal transexuals Those are the good guys
>>218656277yeah I think he clearly just said Austrian for Brook because of the composer/music thingprobably didn't think about it very muchbecause Brook when he was alive doesn't really look like any particular ethnicity, he just looks weird
>>218656253Ur gay bro
>>218656493sounds like tranimeslop
same thing would happen if they made a dragon ball adaption that was fanfilm tier, all the thridies would lap it up because they have no semblence of taste or style. and, i probably would watch that one just for the fact that even the MEGA64 ones get me hyped up for some reason
>>218646528This kind of problem will probably be solved entirely by AI.Even with current AI editing technology, it is already quite easy to keep the entire cast looking like they’re still in their twenties.
>>218656613If you're a polchud, yeah In reality it's just a fun adventure storyI'm sorry you're gatekept out of enjoying it by real-world bullshit
>>218656493>One Piece is for everyACKNope it's for chuds, SJWs don't like it
>>218656538he looks half-blackthe afro and the lipsplus later on he gets the moniker SOUL KING and becomes a pretty blatant Jimi Hendrix homage so I really don't see the problem with casting a black guy while he was aliveWe never even see him alive again except for his introductory flashback. He is a fucking Skeleton for 99.9999% of his screentime.
>>218656879The amount of people that get mad at the women’s proportions is similar to the amount of people that get mad about characters being black in the live action. Aka it’s minimal and you can just dismiss it
>>218656879Oda's art is extremely over-stylized, I don't know why you were expecting a live action nami to have 70% of her pussy fucking hanging out all the time
I hope they adapt these boys in season 3.
>>218657047They're cool and everything but like a lot of Skypiea they are functionally filler
>>218656951Nah theres more SJWs mad that One Piece is for men>>218656981Holy zoom zoom1. That post is about censoring One Piece not the live action2. Low rise jeans are a real thing anon
>>218655902I don’t know whether the problem is the action director, the camerawork, or the supporting actors just not being up to par, but Zoro’s actor is being heavily nerfed in the action scenes and isn’t getting to show even a fraction of his real potential.They seriously need to bring in the live-action Kenshin director.https://youtu.be/LOBjIRYXFzw?si=8QwN1eUSolgGeAPdhttps://youtu.be/yjrMTXSO9m8?si=BHwhbtgW9QgyCqES
>>218657127>1. That post is about censoring One Piece not the live actionwho cares what a bunch of randos on deviantart and twitter do to "fix" the art? They have no official capacity, they don't change the actual character designs in the manga or animeThey're irrelevant
>>218657245at least his action scenes finally have real sword-fighting choreography instead of Zoro just taking a stance, teleporting behind the enemy and sheating his swords dramatically while they suddenly get cut
>>218645733Revere traps are hot. It sucks she spent too much time online with troons encouraging her to hack her titties off.
>All great fighters yell out their finishing moves!>....No they don'tt. the man who will eventually name an attack THREE SWORD SECRET STYLE: 1080 POUND PHOENIX CANNON
>>218656818Guess I will have to spend time with my family instead
>>218647197Japs have, to some extent, white (Jomon) ancestry, so he is white.
>>218650377don't talk about my wife like that
Blatant advertising thread for forced hamfisted diversity slop
>>218657343He names all his moves and they're the most chuuni shit like Asura, Lion song, Dragon tornado, etc...
>>218656277>outside of brookand luffy, and sanji, and nami...
>>218644323I can think of two big reasons
>>218657343To be fair it's probably very difficult for the live action actor to talk with a sword in his mouthHopefully he calls out Lion's Oath in S3
>>218657611I can't unsee Lexi Lune whenever I see la Robin.
>>218647197Bro, this scene smells gayness rather than female audience bait.
>>218657553His signature move is onigiri
>>218657262But it proves that One Piece isnt for leftists
>>218657706You are aware that one of the most popular One Piece characters is a drag queen?
>>218644557unironically this
>>218657611
>More lore-accurate than the original manga>Attractive actress>Even Japanese audiences like this casting>Still controversial in westWhy
Its very popular with brownoids
>>218646780He's turns into a manlet twunk at best; hardly a "beefy gigachad."
what is it about this show that causes virgins to seethe so hard?
>>218657395Somehow I get the feeling you'll just keep shitposting instead
>>218646627>S4 Ennies Lobby/Water 7You really don't need an entire 8 episodes for Ennies lobby and water 7.People remember it for key plot points. Ussop leaves and rejoins, Robin leaves and rejoins, Frankie joins, marie sinks.But there is so much fucking around in it that draws out events way more than it should. Big issues that need to be kept.Key example. Skip the entire train fight. There is nothing that happens during it that cannot be summed up in 2 sentences. Ussop becomes sniper king and they spend 12 episodes pretending progress was made
>>218657706Puritanism is an expression of conservatism
>>218658232You need 8 episodes to include long ring long land and everything post enies lobby.
>>218657612I was curious how that would even work in live action but they've been tasteful about it so far, where it's very clear that he only ever uses Wado Ichimonji as a trump card and very quickly returns it to its scabbard, since it's so precious to him.
>>218658232It's the peak of the series besides marineford and deserves 8 episodes
>>218657706One Piece is for everyone If you're too blinded by your real-world politics, no matter what side you're on, to enjoy the work then that's your fault
>>218657950It's only controversial on 4ch with a small amount of autists. She's hot as fuck and portrayed the character well.
>>218657726I mean yes Ivankov is a drag queen but I don't think he's anywhere near one of the most popular characters
>>218658064It's the usual feeling of being a fan of something for a very long time that's seen as niche/weird/nerdy only for normies to eventually pick it up and not care about your autistic wikipedia-level knowledge of the show's lore and trivia
>>218658375Bon clay is
>>218658419Fair point
>>218658064>popular thing is popular>neckbearded contrarians enter threads and spend all their waking hours trying to make popular thing unpopularthose are just the typical hiveminded 4chan contrarians in action, they ironically think they're unique, special, and edgy along with all the other contrarians. they're just as autonomous and botlike as the supposed CONSOOMERS they claim to despise
>>218658440Sanji becomes a drag queen for 5 years too.
>>218644323Filipinos Brazilians MexijeetsAnd other assorted brown muck people
>>2186585462 years, and he spends the whole time running away from the trannies as hard as he can so they don't rape himHe names the attack based on that "training" HELL MEMORIES because it was a nightmare
>>218644323It is something truly unique, sets feel real, people have cool stylings and clothing, surrealistic at the most realistic time in human history. Has heart.
>>218658824>Netflix production>Has heartGo back
>>218644323lotta brownies on this earth sadly
>>2186471912/10
>>218656277Brook is actually British>Acts like a gentleman but is secretly a hopeless pervert>Died a long time ago but is somehow still clinging to life
>>218657726Yet leftists call Oda a misogynist pedo therefore One Piece isnt for leftists>>218658252Used to be however nowdays it's leftists who are the puritans>>218658348Cope
>>218654699she is sexy are you gay?
>>218646627Better idea: Reduce Water 7 and Ennis Lobby to 3 episodes a piece.They're drawn out bullshit that can be summed up in 6 plot points.Mary is damaged being repair. Ussop leavesRobin leaves.Ussop and Frankie join.Robin rejoins. They have a new ship.Everything else about it middles hard. Just add two episodes for Skypeia to fix the pacing a little.
>>218647611>it was episodic space adventures with very little world buildingAlmost all of Cowboy Bebop was world building. The character development was sparse till the end, but that's because the characters were a steady metric for exploring the world they were familiar with.
>>218660061Wheres her navel?
>>218657087>a lot of Skypieadumbass
>>218657245you fucking blind? Zoro literally fights like in your examples.
>>218654528LOL
