  • This is technically my UA-cam anniversary, so I made a really personal and slightly melodramatic video about a series I love a lot. Thank you for watching my videos.

    At my lowest during a bad mental break my now husband decided to watch one piece with me and kept me engaged. Any time I’d start to get worse he’d ask me about how I thought the series would end, reminding me that I at least had to see the end of One Piece.

    How you described your love for One Piece is how I feel about Berserk. I relate alot to your story as I have gone through similar things. I also for awhile made fun of people and the medium of manga and anime, even though as a child I loved Toonami. One day I just decided fuck it I'm gonna pick up this Berserk deluxe volume....and it just floored me. So now I think this year I will take on the monumental task of starting One Piece thanks to your video.

    Thanks for sharing, I've been in your shoes 8 years ago: depressed, broke, betrayed by some closest friends, and can't even doing my usual hobbies (trekking and playing music in a band) because of my knee surgery
    Back then, mental health problems aren't as well known today, so we don't used to telling others about our issues and asking others for help. So I spent my depressed state not seeking any help and just reading and watching One Piece in my own room all the time (almost every day). Guess what, it saved me from depression and i owe so much with this series.

    I found what one piece means to you and how you got to it wheight more interesting than a deep dive into the seriuos ever could be. Honestly i found many similarities to my history and am kind of calmed to hear that i am not the only one... Oh and find it kind of worth mentioning that it matters less that we grew Up several 1000km apart,but also in a small town,where the dollar shop is "the place to be"

    Thanks for sharing, i've also had suicidal thoughts since i was a kid but getting into anime when i was 11 helped me push those thoughts away, to the point that even though i still have them as a 30 year old, i know with total confidence i'll never act on them, it's like anime/manga planted a seed of motivation in me that will never break.

    I usually don't write comments, but man I'm glad youtube recommended this channel to me, and I want to boost the alghoritm as much as I can!
    First of all, there are a lot of channels talking abt one piece, especially right now, due to netflix live action (will you be making a video on it, by any chance?), but what I love about it - every person brings something new, different experiences, different opinions and theories, different fun, so please, do not ever think, that yours is not needed or not important, I personally will watch the hell out of it.
    I also want to thank you so much for talking about yourself. From youtubers I know, you and bonsai pop are ones, that touched on these topics (within anime content) and it really touches something in my soul, for I know these thoughts and what an effect it can have on every aspect of your life. Only after a meticulous medical treatment with a specialist I managed to push it back a little, and that was already in my adult life, when during teenage years and 20s, with a horrifying family situation, death of the most important person in my life, awful abusive realtionships, manga was the one thing, that kept it together for me, fullmetal alchemist and one piece most of all, Gangsta and blame! later on. I felt like you were trying to excuse yourself and kind of joke around it, but it is a crippling burden, and for many, anime, manga or videogames provide that rope to hold on during hard times. Things do get better, as long as we are around.
    You are here, and your videos are amazing, well edited and written, and they will be amazing, because you are passionate about what you are talking about. Thank you again!
    Btw, do you have a discord server or a community hub somewhere yet?

    I was in such a dark place when I was obsessed with anime. I did eventually get therapy, but some anime is still a nice reminder of some comfort it gave me. In general, still a weeb who loves gaming, but in my own way, I feel you. Nice to hear parallels from other people

    Thriller Bark is amazing. I fucking love One Piece but I don't like all the characters, and that's totally fine and doesn't detract from the art piece at all. Sometimes I look at people in real life and just think "meh"... I think that's ok for fictional characters as well. Moria is a fucking warlord but at the end of the day still human... and I found it hilarious that he's a boring character as an antagonist... not a boring antagonist. It reminds me of when Naruto fans couldn't understand and got upset at Sasuke going to the dark side and being all angsty and emo... just because it's not exactly what you want or what would do, does not make it bad.

    Great video!
    Whenever you can catch a break from very low points in reality, it's a blessing.
    Videogames, music, movies, books, tv series and animes were always my to go to escapeisms.
    One Piece is def one of those things that always sucked me in(I mainly watch the anime).
    Started watching it around the big 3 time with Naruto and Bleach which I tried first but just couldnt stick with.
    But One Piece was just filled with so much: Adventure, action, comedy, drama, thriller etc
    It's just SO full of things, and it's genuine.
    It engulfs you, and I love it.
    Reality is alot easier to bear with now at older age and maturity, but I still enjoy minorly escaping everyonce in a while.
    I have ZERO problem rewatching from beginning to current episodes...Minus Dressrosa Arc for pacing reasons.

    Thank you for sharing man, I respect your courage to openly talk about your experience on the internet and I'm glad One Piece helped you in your darkest moments like it helped me ✌️🫡
    I actually have a similar story with One Piece and where I was at in my life when I started watching it... Rock bottom.
    One Piece gave me hope, pulled me out of the darkness and depression at the time, I was so surprised that I actually regained a bit of my optimism after the LogueTown scene with Luffy surviving in the same place Roger was executed and facing death with a smile on his face.
    But what did it for me was Robin in Water 7 - Enies Lobby saying "I want to live"... That one hit me like a truck and I cried like a baby that night.
    I know art is actually supposed to be cathartic and all that, but man... One Piece takes this to a whole new lvl, it's such a powerful story 🫡✊

    Thank you for being so open and honest about your journey and how One Piece helped you navigate through those hard times. It really resonated with me, especially the experience about the voice that doesn’t go away. Glad you are still here and for your great, positive, and honest videos. I just found your stuff recently and the way you talk about thing is comforting, like I can have a conversation with you. Keep up the good work!

    @garchume6690 2 місяці тому

    Im so glad another person gave it a shot its honestly a amazing adventure that you eventually wont even want it to end en the amounts of episodes isnt a down point but a up one, ive been watching it for almost 20 yrs and watched and read it honestly from first till current for about 8 or 9 times and am currently on another run, for me it never gets old and was and is mpwhere most of my free time goes everyday ive marathon it and sunday which i used to hate because i spended all day contemplating monday and what a pain it was is now for the longest my favorite day, beer weed good food mostly meat and one piece all day. To me they are almost real as close to it as it gets. I wished more people watched it my brother never had it easy in life and he too gave it a chance after i pushed him time and time again and he has been in love with it ever sinds and we constantly test each others knowledge and theories it honetly brought it all together and ill forever be greatfull i found it and cherish it,the only thing in life that scares me is the thought of never getting to see how it ends or if god forbit oda passed away too soon.. KAIZOKU OU NI ORE WA NARU !!!

    Sanji motivated me to cook.

    Luffy motivated me to be a good friend.
    Chopper motivated me to get a dog, for whatever reason.
    The whole series just motivated me to believe that i can get better, and that it will get better, once. Until then, enjoy the ride! :)
    Thank you Oda!

I have watched One Piece since I was little, since 2008, because One Piece has become a part of my life, I really want to see the ending of One Piece, and in the end I am still alive today because of One Piece.
