One piece is really good, the only reason why people hate on it is because it's longer, characters look weirder, and the pacing is a bit slower than most shonen, but it's definitely worth watching/reading(I'm not much of a manga reader)
You know I'll tell you why.
It has over 1,050 episodes and they still haven't found the one piece.
This series is as much of a waste of time as Pokémon which currently has 1,246 episodes.
The One Piece is the driving goal of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, as well as that of multiple other pirates, who all seek to claim the treasure in order to become the next Pirate King, following Roger's dying words at his execution.
One piece is similar to Dragon Ball with it's title naming convention.
Both use their MacGuffin as the series goal.
One piece is Dragon Ball yet done worst.
Just imagine if the quest for the magical balls never completely took off for 1,000 episodes would you stick around?
One piece does everything it can to distract, deviate, and prolong getting to the goal post of the story which is just terrible.
The final straw for me was when they were offered the direction to the one piece and decline it.
They're not pirate on a treasure hunt f this shit I'm out.
@@neogamest123logic2whatever you’re smoking I need some so I can spout as much bullshit and actually believe it as fact
@@neogamest123logic2 You're mad that the entire world doesn't revolve around the Straw Hats and multiple important things happen concurrently that will deviate them from finding the One Piece? Just say you don't like worldbuilding and want things spoonfed to you
@@frostlastsforeversame like lmao if u watch I'm assuming till shabondy then why not stop from the early episode clearly it's not for u. It's that easy.
@@JuiceJink I think you responded to the wrong person lmao
One piece has already beat out Batman and it’s close to beating superman
didnt it already beat out superman ?
@@WiiSage one piece is still 70 million copies behind superman
On it's way to outselling Harry Potter for best written series overall as well, which is huge.
@@Mugiwara_Ghost In my opinion it counts already, since Superman has what, 60 years more of sales?
Nice I was going to say this video from eyepatchwolf is like 5 years old now
Senor pink backstory still has me in tears bruh everytime I think I'm over it
Man fr, just listening to the video explain it gets my eyes watering
This is me with Merry going down.
Same with Nami and Robin‘s backstory
The only moment that makes my eyes water every time without fail is Robins "I want to live" moment. I think the voice actress just KILLS it, the desperation and pain in her voice is 🤌🤌🤌
@@spyfire242 I don’t blame you haha, that’s my favorite moment in the whole series bar none.
one piece's story is simply unmatched, it so intricately built and so organized and easy to understand even though the story is so long. the world is dynamic, everything a character does has an impact on the whole world, so unlike other animes where it laser focuses on a couple of characters. yes the art can be goofy sometimes, but that is part of its charm. its iconic.
It practically forces people to like it, it just keeps building on itself in ways that you don't expect, but are so satisfying.
I'm caught up on the manga myself. Took me 5 years, with a lot of pauses coming after the more impactful arcs. Now at chapter 1087. I don't regret a single day of that 5 years that I chose to read this incredible story.. And I try to share it with others as frequently as I can. Though it is a long and arduous journey, it really makes you so proud of the crew's shining moments, or hurt where you didn't think you could be, by even the side characters..The Señor Pink thing made me cry, even just rewatching through this analysis. I love One Piece, and I hope you guys will eventually pick it up!
Woah. Took me 2.5 months of scary binging to do so.
I hate hard pushing opinions on people but I will use every dirty sneaky trick I can to convince people I know to watch 40 episodes of this show
@@Matty80822 I gift the first volume. Shits like crack, all it takes is a little hit.
What I always say about people and their fear of One Piece's length: "If you start reading it, and you are enjoying it as a good thing, then more of a good thing is always better. This is especially the case with a series that builds on itself."
I tried watching one piece 4 different times in my life and maybe got to the 5th episode at the most until the pandemic hit... Ironically was probably the best things to happen in my life because I really got into it than and is possibly one of the best ongoing stories I've ever experienced. Currently at 807 and it's only been getting better... What I'm truly scared of is catching up to everyone and having to wait weekly for each episode.
You got plenty of time also watch out for spoilers that’s gone to happen next month. One of the biggest episode if not the best episode of the year that everyone is waiting for especially manga readers.
@@AlexGamingAlexGaming02the production company have released what episode its gonna happen in... Releasing august 6th theyve given it a date and everything... 😅
Be careful surrounding spoilers for 2 weeks time episode kay buddy? Good luck not seeing anything and avoiding it... I highly recommend you dont even put one piece into youtube for about the next three weeks that way you definitely not spoiled
I got to a point where I couldn't watch week to week, because the pace sadly gets super slow in the Anime (given they used to adapt 2-3 chapters an episode, and when they caught up they only had one chapter to work with each episode) so what I did was save up a years worth and once a year (on my birthday as a treat) I binge it all over a week or so. It makes it so much better than week to week. Only issue is avoiding spoilers for an entire year is near impossible, hah.
good luck. youll eventually catch up but without even trying im seeing spoiler panels from the manga that fans are eager to post in excitement. im almost at that point of wanting to catch up with the manga just to avoid any more spoilers.
Out of all different types of media, one piece is the story that has made me cry the most times and if not for the stormlight archive, it would also be the one that made me cry the hardest. It's a really fun and incredible adventure but it is also filled with a lot of emotional punches.
The term 'peak fiction' was created with One Piece in mind. I have yet to find anything else that rivals it in characters, worldbuilding, emotional involvement, and dedicatoin to storytelling. Those who want to catch up should absolutely read the manga since it's paced so well and you get so into it, you can breeze through ten of them without realizing how far you've gotten.
I love one piece and am also fully up to date with the manga. If you want more peak fiction, with the things you mentioned above, read Berserk if you havn't already. ^^
Fma and code geass also reach peak fiction
@@yusted1 Code Geass COULD be god-tier if it wasn't for the unnecessary fanservice. It was the one thing that kept interrupting my immersion in the story.
@@angeliadark The fan service was fine I think the only thing preventing it from being truly perfect was the school episodes and the way the black nights developed in s2
@@angeliadark one piece fan service exists man
One Piece is incredible and it will make you very emotional. I have never seen world building and lore like it before in my life and it deals with a lot of heavy issues. Government corruption, Racism, Slavery hell even genocide at some points. At least watch up to the Arlong Park arc that will let you know if its for you or not.
Yeah, if you can see Luffy hand over his treasure and not get choked up, well... this story just isn't for you.
@@adamcarlson2192 And not just the handing over of the treasure but the desperation Nami felt at that moment and Luffy confirming that he knew nothing going of what was going on and our usual Luffy doesn't care but knows someone he cares about is in pain and will do anything for them.
I tell that to everyone. Get to episode 50 (I lie about the episode number on purpose) and if you don't want to continue then don't. And at that one episode they get sold. I'm 100% so far on anyone that agreed to my terms
Best comment.. share with the world 🌎 ❤ 💙
That's a surprise ! I've been following you guys for quite a long time and never thought you would react to something related to One Piece, glad you did
i started with the anime randomly one day, i worked a night shift job that did require much so i was caught up to episode 800 in 7 months or so 😭 it takes time but it was never time wasted , dropped a few tears and had plenty laughs
Don't let the length scare you. You can take your time. Trust me, when you catch up you will regret it because you have to start waiting for the next episode/chapter.
It doesn’t take as long as you would think. You start reading it and then before you know it you already on chapter 600. It really flies by. I’d suggest enjoying it because I wish I had 100 chapters I could read right now
The funny thing about the length of One Piece is that it is simultaneously a huge barrier to entry, and also one of the best things about it. I put it off for nearly a decade because of the length, but now that I'm caught up, I wish it were longer. From the outside looking in, thaat's just too much to consume, but once you immerse yourself in the world, you come to realise that there is endless potential to the world Oda has built. I usually recommend people to watch the first 45 episodes and see how they feel about it. While the show does get better than that, most of the core elements that make One Piece great have been displayed by then. If you don't feel anything after the first 45 episodes, it probably won't be the show for you.
One Piece is in my personal opinion the best story ever told. The way Oda builds a connection between the viewer and each charecter, the way he leaves small hints and sittuations that are to be explained in a incredible way later down the story, the way he made each charecter unique,relatable and appealing in some sort of way is making it a incredible experiance anyone should experiance in their life time. Oda and the people that he works with truly created a whole new world with charecters inspired from our history & certain events & charecters throug it. I can go on but gonna stop here in case you decide to dive in the One Piece experiance and find out and experiance all this things one your own.
One Piece have passed Batman, now only Superman in front of it.
Yes, The Last Challenger Standing. Would be Dope if it surpasses Super Man when Luffy becomes The KING OF THE PIRATES!!!!!
based on what exactly? sales? im confused as to what you mean cuz im pretty sure one piece has passed both at this point...
@@crustybomb115where do you see that it surpassed both… it was announced passed batman of last year not superman
@@loony5549 did abit of extra digging of my own, apparently someone used averages of lifetime sales of each property and thats why it surpassed both, made more money per year by average... then again the other properties have been around for almost a god damn century at this point so that wouldnt surprise me...
One Piece have sold 516 million units/mangas, Batman have sold 486 million units/comics in its lifetime 👍
Batman comic debut 1939
One Piece debut 1997
And still even with a 58 years head-start advantage for Batman, One Piece still outsold Batman’s lifetime.
I have never laughed or cried as hard in my whole life before watching One Piece
~Reyleigh😍
One piece is so good but can be daunting at first and feel very slow but it is very good. A solution to this is watching 'one pace' which is one piece but they cut out all the filler and make it have better pacing, it also the reduces the amount of episodes you have to watch. The best way to digest one piece is the manga which has 1067 chapters. it seems like alot but each chapter is only 28 pages, making quite easy to read a few a day.
1087 chapters
It's suprising that even though Senior pink's backstory is sad, he's not even in the top 5 saddest, at least in my list
Bro, you are not lying. Water 7 has too many heartbreaking moments for me.
For real the best way would be watch it because the impact that some of voice actors absolutely nailed the scenes but the manga does some so much more that they couldn't show on TV.
I think One Piece and reaction channels have a special relationship. I've seen many small reaction channels that decided to commit to watching One Piece, who gained massive amounts of followers because of that. RT TV is a good example. The thing is, there are SO MANY One Piece fans out there, and there are only a handful of reactors that were willing to commit to react to it, so when they find another good reaction channel that is watching One Piece, the word is spread, and we all come to enjoy the journey again with new fans. I've probably watched at least 20 different reactors go through One Piece, and it is something I'll never tire of doing.
It’s a great adventure story, the hardest part is starting it, you’ll catch up eventually. You’d be surprised how far you could get watching maybe 5 episodes a day. AOT isn’t as long and it’s quicker to jump in, that’s a another great series.
Man, I didn't think anybody online would ever react to this video I saw years ago. Glad to see that.
Look. Ima keep it 💯.
One Piece made me cry harder than my brothers funeral 😭… it’s. so. good. I tried to watch it 3 times. Never could get into it. Recently picked it back up and got caught up SO fucking fast. It’s worth it. It’s worth it. It’s worth it.
Took me a while to watch, with multiple pauses after arcs. Now I’m caught up, I don’t regret a moment. Very good show with great world building and meaningful characters
One thing i like about one piece is how the most random thing can cause an entire arc
Everyone says one piece is too big a commitment but once they get a taste for it, they regret waiting so long to try it
Just found y’all channel 🙏🔥 , I will say it it’s hand Down one of the best written anime’s, and this is one of the rare anime where you won’t get fatigued, watching it or binge watching it definitely give it a shot the creator Oda does not forget any details everything he writes, makes a full circle and will come back from episode 1 to 1065. He remembers everything every detail. It’s a long journey but it’s a great ride. Definitely watch it.
4:27 on the subject of the live action… you’re spot on about it. 100% would not be able to capture even 50% of it, most one piece fans are not looking forward to it… but like an addict we will probably still consume it because there isn’t enough one piece content for us to consume despite it being almost 1100 chapters in
There’s a thing called One pace it’s basically one piece but shortened and no filler which was made by someone or some people, I would HIGHLY recommend that
I never understood why people complained about length. I wish every manga I like was 1000+ plus chapters. People act like they're gonna watch/read it in one sitting.
MORE REACTIONS TO ONE PIECE🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
One Piece is a journey where you just need to enjoy the ride, there is no rush in catching up. Even from the very episode 1 things are funny, interesting and wholesome, the more you watch, the more you fall in love with the show and its characters. The Live Action is going to adapt the story from the beginning until the Arlong Park Arc (The first 44 episodes of the anime). Cheers!!
It is a lot, but the beauty of OP is that when you become enthralled, you'll find yourself caught up in no time. Then you'll be wishing you took longer to read/watch it, lol.
The anime is easier to digest and the community could help with hopefully spoiler free answers to questions you may have.
Every person before watching or reading One Piece : theres too many chapters and episodes
Every person after watching or reading One Piece : theres not enough, give us moar!!!!
I'm so happy you guys reacted to this recommendation. One piece is long but i can promise you this much, if you commit to it you will appreciate and love the story. other reactors have started there journey with one piece and have put it in there top 10. honestly it could be your first official anime series you react to on your channel and patreon. I'm sure thousands will flock to see someone new react to the series. one piece offers something for everyone!
i happy to watch again with u guys
4 episodes a day, 4 days a week and you'll hit a good flow. Catching up is just the consequence of starting.
Why you should consider reading it first:
After watching this show 2-3 episodes a day, 5 days a week. Filler included, spoilers avoided, and rewatching a few episodes and I caught up in a year. Then you start to realize a few things. There are circumstances where they don't produce an episode a few weeks out of the year. By that time you'll be have long, endless, mind blowing and friendship building conversations with the rest of us. By then you'll realize that everyone you're speaking to has to hold back from sharing certain bits of information. You can ask every question you'd like, but when you care this deeply about a story, getting certain experiences spoiled for you makes it feel like that journey you took feel like kid's play. Suddenly, that realization that you've been whispering in your mind stands up and shouts from your own mouth,
"I should have read it!"
Why you should consider watching it first:
Gives us OP junkies your first takes and reactions to things we've seen. The thing about being caught up is watching how your questions get answer, change, disappear, inspire new questions. It's brought me joy watching others have a particular take on something, someone or somewhere that I had. I especially love when people react in ways I didn't.
Enjoy your journey
peace and love
Just start the adventure already 🥳 SET SAIL 🚀
From when I was like 6 years old I started reading stories. And no story lived up to my expectations, until I found One Piece around 16 or 17 years old. I had given up any story could be good.
And much of the reason that is, is because the story isn't chopped up into pieces like here is one arc and here is another where something different happens....it is one complete story and everything is connected. My second favorite thing is that it makes you feel stuff. I never cried at any other show before One Piece
😅😅currently as of right now July 13th of 2023, one piece chapter 1086 just dropped. Yes its 1086 chapters long and still ongoing. It started in 1997 -1998. 😂It goes to show how good the anime really is.
And just recently onepiece's author eiichiro oda named by japan as one of the new geniuses of today's generation. 👍🏻
All it takes to get hooked on One Piece is either episode 23 or 36
It really depends on if you like the main cast or not.
i love that there are characters like senor pink who have a deep story for why they dress the way they dress and others are just goofy! They just enjoy dressing goofy and thats ok!
One Piece is an addiction.
If you've got nothing better to do, you can knock it out in under a fortnight. 100 chapters a day isn't impossible and honestly, fucking worth it.
I recommend that movie, I watched it after seeing thus video and I was blown away.
It's called One Piece Movie 6: Baron Omatsuri
if you start watching one piece im all for it and im gonna be there for that long but yet beautiful journey! lets go!
One thing people don’t realize until they catch up to one piece is that although 1000+ episodes seems like a lot, when you catch up 1000 isn’t nearly enough episodes
one piece's story is simply unmatched, onepiece is truly the GOAT of anime there may be over 1087 chapters now but its hands down the best show i have ever watched
@8:24 your logic dosn't make sence, the fact is that one piece aired around 1998-99 and is selling more the superman and batman thats been around since like the 40's just shows how impressive one piece is, and it has currently surpassed batman in lifetime sales.
Just so you know, there are a number of movies in the series that are actually just recaps/retellings of the earlier arcs in the anime. You sacrifice some of the storytelling details, but it's one way to consider, to help you catch up a bit.
Because of the length someone is making a shorter version called "One Pace" it's not done yet but basically its One piece without all the bullshit and filler stuff, the stuff you dont need which shortens it tremendously. I would definitely recommend it
This video is relatively old! One Piece has crossed 1,000 chapters and episodes mark a while ago and it just came off another lengthy break.
After a health scare, the author Eiichiro Oda was mandated by his doctor to take a break like once a month or so! Dude almost died.
I have been reading one piece for over 15 years, you guys wont regret if you give it a chance
if you guys want to get into One Piece my suggestion is to check the One Pace project, it's made by fans and basically cut out all filler from the anime and put together the manga animated basically. It's really good and easy to watch the show that way.
I personally am caught up It took me 3 months because I got obsessed with the manga and binged it and it is incredible. While it has flaws like any story it definitely the best I have ever read. And I have read many a story
A great anime gets you emotional attached to the story and characters one piece definitely did that for me
Thanks for this reaction.
Definitely an amazing series, of fantastic characters.
One piece is the one show that i will not tolerate being treated like trash by casual haters. I was never hook with the hype. I just tried it out on a whim and fell in love with the writing. Absolutely masterful, idc about the animation. Just give me a story that will bring out all my emotions
OP is currently ~100mil behind Superman in sales.
3:07 It’s now we’ll over 1,000 chapters as well as over 1,000 episodes
W. Wanted to see this for a long time.
For One Piece anime when you reach around episode 24-25 you essentially wont be able to stop watching and binging because how captivating it is. For manga its similar and tbh most reactors are like reading? Watching the anime would be faster but no. Reading the series would take a hell lot less time than watching it for sure and similar to anime when you start reading it you cant stop until you finish whatever arc you are reading as story just keeps getting better. Thats also another strong point of One Piece. You will see good stuff and just wonder how the fuck it gets better and it will get better.
Never thought u would react to this but i m here for it😂
Im ngl one piece is highly addicting. Take it from me a guy who swore for years ill never watch it until 4 months ago and its amazing. Highly recommend this one right here💯
the live action will be only the first 60 episodes on the anime, so just try the anime, I'm sure you will love it! you can react to groups of episodes, like 2 or 3 each video! You won't regret it!
Best Anime with best story telling 🐐 OnePiece
With a name like Kidd, you gotta watch One Piece... you're gonna have a favorite character in a few hundred episodes haha
If you want to watch the live action up to the point it covers, you only need to watch about 50 episodes in the anime. They go super quick too if you skip the opening and ending songs, as well as the recaps.
With one piece… it’s like a relationship… you may get along or May not get along… it’s like… if you put in time… take the time to truly enjoy the other person regardless of first impressions… the merits start showing… but you have to be patient for that… as an example my sister didn’t like the animation… I told her to be patient and watch it for the story… if you aren’t hooked after the Arlong Arc… this isn’t the show for you, but that’s about 50 episodes in… if you have ADHD or don’t have the patience… give up now… but if you do have the patience… be ready for a story of friendship and adventure.
Started watching one piece last year and now I'm close to catching up.
When the video came out, it was 833 chapters at that point. Now we are at 1087 chapters
This is the best anime off tops, it can be goofy or extra but it can actually go hard when shit gets real in the story
Unless you are going to watch or read all of it i suggest just to watch the live action because i think they are going to pace it well so you can get all the information/ big points without watching hundreds of episodes
I still remember what made me like and watch One Piece (I once said it was not good without watching it from the start only cut eps on tv). I got into Luffy when I watched ep 6 on tv. (I didn't know what ep it was when aired) I just decided to watch it since Naruto was aired at the same time in other network and I don't actually like Naruto back then so since I don't have other option, I just decided to watch it. Then mindblown. It touched my heart so much. Chouchou everyone!
If your only concern is One Piece's length, then just get into it. I started watching the One Piece Anime in 2021 and finished the Anime a year later. After that i read the manga. And i speak for every One Piece fan when i say: These 1069 Episodes of Anime or the 1088 Chapters of Manga are too short for anyone who finished it. I love One Piece and I still get excited every time a new Manga chapter releases. Once you start and you like it, you wont stop until youre finished.
That video is probably five years old we're at over 1060 episodes now and as many people as stated it's beat out Batman long ago. Awesome thing is, the 200 episodes since that aired have been some of the best!
One Piece is one heck of a Journey and Experience.
With the Final Saga currently going in the Manga.
Also, heck, the Filler even isn’t even that bad either, from what I’ve watched so far.
The animes first saga has somewhere between 12 and 15 hrs on content. The live action will have 8 or so hrs. Theres alot theyll have to cut or put in the background if they dont want to sacrifice any backstory or foreshadowing
I started watching anime with One Piece. Other anime doesnt really appeal to me in general, but One Piece is probably the most enjoyable series I have watched in my life. Truly great!
The live action is only covering the first 60 episodes of one piece which is the first saga covering how he recruits the original 4 other members into his crew before entering the grand line sea which is the part of the world the rest of the story takes place. It's doing so in 8 long episodes. One piece can sometimes be pretty slow paced so I think it's definitely possible to cover everything important in that amount of time and will probs be good pacing. Would definitely recommend starting the anime even if you plan to watch the live action because even if the live action does amazing and gets renewed, it will most likely never get to the current stuff.
Nothing has made me cry more than one piece.
I started one piece last year got caught up within 3 months manly cause I just wanted to keep reading it man it’s amazing top 3 for me
People hate it cuz its long
But We the people loved it Hoped that it never ends.
Cuz of how actually good it was when we finally saw it.
Yes indeed
Please to more One piece related videos that will inform you of this amazing anime. One video I recommend is “The breathtaking world of One Piece”.
I'd say if you want to catch up within a month or two read the manga. If you want to experience the sounds, voice acting, fights, and ambience of the series in its entirety then watch the anime. I promise you you won't regret it either way. This community is beautiful and inviting so enjoy the journey in watching it. It'll definitely teach you some things and help you grow as a person indefinitely.
I'm convinced Oda wrote One Piece backwards from the end, and has like a secret warehouse with like 10 white boards with plot points connected via strings, rofl
One piece is divided into arcs. Each arc have their own journey, their own story. It won't felt long because you will feel like you're finishing a series once an arc ended.
The live action is based on the first 5 Arc. And if you wanna check it but scared of how long it is, I recommended "One Piece: Episode of East Blue", it's a movie special remake of the first 5 Arc. And it's only a 90 minutes long.
the problem with people who wants to start one piece is they already thinking about "catching up" or how to finish 1000++ episodes / chapters
one piece is the type of anime/manga where you follow your own pace, dont rush it, it has soo much information / foreshadowing / plot twist
because when you "caught up" you dont want one piece to end and wish they have more episodes/chapters
u can skip the fillers, if you think its too lengthy
Oda is a storyteller on par with Tolkien. Most people just don't notice it because his stories are told through visuals and dialog rather than descriptive paragraphs.
When you really look into it, One Piece world building as intricate as the Silmarillian.
Highly recommend watching “the breathtaking world of one piece” and “One piece the greatest story ever told” they are great videos to give you a slight sense of how great this anime is.
I think you guys should take a deep dive into both the anime and manga.... it's character driven filled with action, hype, emotions (on all levels). good luck!
Please watch his other video "Why you should read/watch one piece" its longer but it goes more into detail and I think you both would enjoy it more especially with how you 2 enjoyed this video
If you're gonna start watching one piece, there is a version called one pace that cuts the episodes down. There no filler arcs, less padding of episodes, and all episodes have chapter references. The anime has been made weekly for a long time. Hope you all enjoy catching up eventually.
Nothing matches One Piece' world building, mythos,lores. You name it, this series/manga has it. The One Piece is real!
Ya'll might want to just do the manga. Don't think that you'd have speed through it. Just enjoy it slowly, and stay away from spoilers. Trust me, once you get into it, you'll get hooked naturally
Watch one piece until the end of the Arlong Park arc (where the story really starts to gain steam). By the end of Arlong Park, you'll be a part of the Straw hat grand fleet, we all are.
Earlier one piece is fun, but once you start hitting the arc above it just goes from good to beyond great.
What i wanted to add, during the last couple of years we went from a Revolution Type of Story (Strawhats topple a Dictator and reinstall the rightfull King again) over a smallish break to a classical save the Princess Story with a Dark Twisted Disney feeling to now where it is heavily inspired by classical Samurai Stories
