      Sort of... A lot of people have made creative worlds nearly as wonderful in Fiction. When you make your premise to be "A World with Chaotic Climates and Thousands of Islands" then also make the animal and wildlife have zero inhibitions they can be ANYTHING and ANY SIZE. It lends to an entire eclectic universe within one world. Clever. Amazing world for sure. Not necessarily impossible for someone else to do it though.

    Part of the magic of One Piece is sharing it with others. I remember I was apprehensive because of the art when I was younger, but a friend started telling me all about it. I was super interested and just asked questions and listened. I downloaded some of the chapters a few weeks later, and while working on a farm in the middle of nowhere with no internet, I started reading and was hooked. Seeing other people go through this experience as well is absolute magic, and something you've both struck gold on.
    The manga is absolutely gorgeous in color :)

As for the anime thing, a lot of anime were adapted in the 70s and the 80s without actually being presented as foreign. Astro Boy, Speed Racer, Gigantor. Or chopped up and turned into new shows like... what was that thing Macross got made into, Robotech I think?

    The author of One Piece is a world building nerd. Whenever the main cast visit a new island, Oda takes the time to introduce its culture, architecture, unique fauna and flora alongside its lore. He also pulls a lot of references from real world cultures and blends them seamlessly into the show.
    As a little fun fact. He does the same thing with characters, so I'm sure you (Richard) will have a good laugh recognizing some celebrities.
    If you didn't already. You should react to the "One Piece, the greatest story ever told". Beware, it does spoil a bit, but it's out of context enough to not matter

    7:35 when creating the story, the author wanted the characters/locations to seem multicultural and not just Japanese to make the story's world building much more vast..
    eg. the main cast are ment to reflect certain cultures:
    -luffy -> Brazil
    zero-> Japan
    franky-> USA
    Brook-> British
    etc.
    Also, if you look at the architecture and people from different islands, inspiration was taken from many different cultures
    eg
    shandoria-> native Americans
    alabasta -> Egypt
    water 7 -> Venice

    One piece has some of the most amazing voice work I've ever heard in media. The Japanese voice cast are some of the best in the business, and the characters are so expressive, the story so epic and emotional (in so many directions), that it allows for some of the greatest voice performances you could find. There are scenes from this story that, even being over two decades old and knowing FULL well what is going to happen, they make me tear up every damn time. And that's due to the direction and composition of the shots, the top tier OST, and the incredible performances of the voice actors.

    8:30 The fact that there are english words, yeah, they are mainly there for novelty for the Japanese audience, but sometimes they are there to reference the IRL places that served as inspiration, even if it is just like an anime only thing. Dressrossa had a place called "Tienda del Bebé", in the Señor Pink flashback and it means "Baby's Shop".
    One of the most fun things you can do with One Piece is to try and find out the IRL references, either confirmed or possible candidates. Just like with Jojo's, I have learned so much about History, Art, Actors, fashion and other things just from studying One Piece.
    For Example, please check the painting called "The Elephants", painted by Salvador Dalí. Also pictures from arquitecture in Yemen. Or the story of King Joyoboyo from Indonesia. Or the Pirate Olivier Levasseur
    Maybe you would also want to look at the phenomenon of "Rayleigh Scattering", or Vertical Spike Waves, or Catatumbo lightning.
    There is just so, soo SOOOO much history, geography, history, art, pop culture EVERYWHERE.

    Around the 8 minute mark, you discuss how there's a mix of both japanese and english text on things. And yes, I can confirm that in Japan, there's something called "decorative English" which is pretty much what it sounds like.
    Just like you said, similar to how there's english people who will get tattoos of chinese or japanese words, the same is true in Japan (though not quite for tattoos) where it's popular marketting practise to use english words and letters because the english language is seen as "trendy".
    You will find Japan has plenty of shirts, companies, ads, and even the lyrics in their songs will sometimes incorporate English words because it simply sounds cool to them.
    I mean think about the name of the show itself. "One Piece" doesn't actually have a secret Japanese name or anything it's translated from. The characters of the show will quite literally refer to the mysterious treasure as "One Piece" in english even though they're speaking japanese.

    Regarding Japanese English wording, the Marines use "MARINE" as their designation in both manga and anime. The term is written in English. Richard observed the Japanese word "JUSTICE" written on the building. Different high-ranking individuals within the Marines have varied versions of justice as their motto, displayed on their walls. However, the entire Marine force shares the common attribute of adhering to justice, whatever its interpretation may be. As one ascends in rank, personal notions of justice become more prevalent. Examples of personalized justice mottos in Japanese for these high-ranking individuals include:
    - Kakageru Seigi: 掲げる正義 (Upheld Justice)
    - Zettai-Teki Seigi: 絶対的正義 (Absolute Justice)
    - Aokiji: だらけきった正義 (Lazy Justice)
    - Kizaru: どっちつかずの正義 (Unclear Justice)
    - Sakazuki: 徹底的な正義 (Thorough Justice)
    In all these instances, the individuals display their Japanese version of justice prominently, typically on a wall. Conversely, words meant to be universally understood are in English, such as "DEAD OR ALIVE" on wanted posters, reflecting English's status as a global language (even in the manga).

    A lot of names in the manga are English words, sometimes written in our letters but often written in Japanese script which causes problem because it can actually take years before we find out how a word is actually written (since it's not actually a Japanese word so Japanese people or dictionaries can't help) which can have massive implications even story-wise xD

  • @YetiCoolBrother
    @YetiCoolBrother 11 місяців тому +1

    So one of the coolest things about One Piece to me are these things called Cover Stories. Basically, Oda will take a character (alot of times a villain) from a previous arc and use the cover of each chapter to illustrate a story of what they are doing now that they're no longer relevant at the moment. You combine that with the fact that Oda is a super long term planner in his story telling and will recontextualize events or bring back a character from literally hundreds of chapters ago it really makes the world feel alive like things dont just revolve around the Strawhats.

    One Piece is one of my favorite stories ever. It's just like a never-ending story. Oi was also hesitant to watch it when I was younger because of both the artwork, not something I was used to, and the fact that summary said it was about Pirates that couldn't swim...I was so confused. But ever since I started, it has been my favorite anime/manga ever. The characters, the story, and the overall adventure are just so amazing.
    I know it's hard to get into the whole mess since it is so long, but really, I always recommend everyone to take their time with it. One Piece isn't something you should rush since IT IS about the journey, at least to me. I would recommend just trying a few episodes at a time just to get a feel.
    I would say it has somewhat of a slow bulidup, but after you get into it, you can't really stop. 😁 just enjoy what you can and when you can.

  • @miratunatar

    I'm telling you, there's good and bad in One Piece.
    Some fun stuff is over the top and yes, it takes some getting used to in places. It is
    maybe a lot of getting used to.
    But once you get used to it, you see that it also unites an infinite number of cultures, has allusions to all sorts of real life events and characters.
    (The good the bad the ugly, etc.)
    Endless depth of character forms, has a complex and extraordinary narrative structure and simply offers an overall cultural experience that no other medium has ever managed.
    Easter eggs and references at all ends and characters and stories that go right into your heart.
    The best world building maybe even in all of media.
    It is, discounting some of the over-the-top comedy and the sometimes tiring and length of the plot, the greatest story ever told.
    Rightly number 1 of all manga and ingrained so deeply in the hearts of the fans that it is inseparable.
    A must watch. The best story ever.

  • @ThatScrubWolf

    9:31 my mom did the same thing. Funnily enough, in the Viz official translation for the One Piece manga they changed Zoro's name to Zolo because of Zorro. Viz does a lot of other things that are like that unfortunately so I tend to read fan translations but will sometimes read both for comparison as it can be difficult to faithfully translate Oda's intentions when there's a bunch of similar ways to say the thing but they have minor differences that have very different implications.

    The story is gorgeous happy to see you’re enjoying it. It’s definitely a commitment to get into the world. reading the manga in my eyes is the easiest way to absorb the information but I think if you just see little pieces of world building and get a general idea for the themes that’s a perfect way to lightly touch the material

    Side note: if your dad would rather watch but the anime pacing is an issue, I would recommend One Pace, the condensed version that cuts filler. It chops the watch time in half and makes the experience more fluid for new viewers.

    From what I've seen in most major Japanese cities, they do have a lot of Japanese text and some English. But your dad is right, the creator wanted this series to feel more international, so he often went out of his way to make sure the world he build didn't just feel like Japan, so including various languages and ethnicities was part of the design philosophy.

    Props to the dad for going for the original performance and delivery.
    It’s ALL about the original delivery and thats why the original voices (whatever language that may) will ALWAYS be better than a dubbed version.
    Any original performance comes directly from the original director who had a vision regarding what the viewer should experience and that is what makes dubs lesser versions. Always.

    Just for more clarification about the movies, the events that happen in the movies are not canon, but the flashbacks we see in them, as well as the characters in the movie, are canon. For example, Uta is canon, as well as the flashback about her, Shanks, and Luffy; but the events in the movie never happened in the actual story of One Piece.

    One Pace, you're talking about at like 20 minutes or so. they edited out extra reaction shots, recaps, extra flashbacks from the episode prior or ones shown often. it's also consolidated usually 2-4 episodes into "1" and removes the parts not directly in the manga. would recommend going back to those after the fact b/c you'll always wish there was more to the series. also they aren't "done" yet so certain arcs aren't completed or even touched mostly. kinda has a learning curve to get the video's, requires torrenting and such but if you can do that you're good to go.

    Things being written in more than one language is actually extremely common in a lot of places. Anywhere that tourists go people try to use a lot of English. I live in South America and a lot of restaurants here either have English translations for each menu item or a completely separate menu all in English. I haven't been to Japan, but it wouldn't shock me if there are similar things there. One of my pet peeves here is that I speak fluent Spanish, but people will often go out of their way to accommodate me with English, even when it's obvious that my Spanish is much better. It's like damn it took a long time to learn this language and I'm trying to show respect by using it. Just let me use it.
