A friend of mine irl can't stop talking about it. And it has something like 700 episodes and I don't even know how you can put actual plot into it without it being lovely and washed down.

It's really impressive and I don't know how they do it either but with over 800 chapters out it still hasn't gotten old yet

I've only ever read one manga though so I'm no expert on the subject but it was "Berserk" and it owned. Some dude in some sort of medieval european setting wrecking stuff, also monsters.

That is good

is there more of that kind of stuff??

I just today started reading this after loving the show/movies, it's great.

One of the few over-the-top violent stories that also manages to have an interesting plot with nuance and themes. It reminds me of the Princess of Mars stories but with more and better of everything that was good about them. So much more and so much better that this comparison doesn't actually make any sense

I can't bring myself to read Berserk, even though every account has told me that it's really good, because I'll probably want closure and the author legitimately has no idea how to end the series

I think they do, they just made all the money in the world and are addicted to some anime princess idol maker game or something. In other words it's held back mostly because it's made by a Japan.

It's still worth reading. I stopped reading it some years ago because lol at the pace of the updates but what I did read was just really cool. Plus it does settle a bunch of stories just not the overarching one, yet.

The anime has become lovely and washed out but the manga is legit one of the best series out there. There's a reason it's the best selling book of all time in Japan. There's maybe one arc that is of a dubious quality, but the rest of it owns and is a fantastical journey.

Luffy is a fantastic protagonist. He also tries to recruit everyone to his crew:

  • A unicorn
  • A tree
  • Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
  • The Kraken
  • A cyborg
  • Cerberus
  • A 140-year-old woman who has a bellybutton piercing
  • A skeleton with an afro
  • A duck-chocobo
  • A man permanentely deformed into the shape of a treasure chest
  • A zombie mistaken for an old man with a big wound
  • An old man with a big wound mistaken for a zombie
  • A clown who can fly, provided that you carry his disembodied feet
  • A pirate diner
  • A pirate orchestra
  • A mouse named Tyrannosaurus

other things in One Piece that are absurd and wonderful:

  • Rocky Horror
  • A Goldfish so big it's shits are mistaken for islands
  • Kung-Fu Dugongs
  • Moon Men
  • An entire floating city of Gandalfs
  • An island full of centaur type mooks only with other animals than horses(most notably a crocodile)
  • Two crews of Ape Salvage Divers
  • Pervy, Invisible Man-Frankenstein
  • A sword that ate the Elephant fruit
  • I don't care if he's anime filler: Alpacacino- a bazooka that ate the alpaca fruit

It's amazing how slow the anime is to catch up to the manga. I guess that's how it usually is, but it's kind of annoying to know it will take months if not years to catch up.

The anime is only a handful of chapters behind, which is one of the things that makes the anime so awful. They used to add filler arcs so that the manga was far ahead and they could pace the anime well. Now they don't add fillers arcs, make each episode with the content of a chapter. So now every episode is horribly drawn out with way too much talking for what little movement the plot actually gets.

The anime has always been of poor quality because it's popularity is guaranteed so they don't even have to try. Hopefully in a decade it will get a hunter x hunter style redo to repace it and make the early art less awful.

The one piece anime is fantastic for the first few hundred episodes because it started way after the manga did and they didn't have to stretch a single chapter out to a 20 minute episode so it had actual good pacing. The closer it gets to the timeskip (which is like, 500 episodes in?) the slower it gets and it doesn't help that immediately post-timeskip was probably the most boring part of the story overall. I just found a streaming site with all the episodes and let them run in a second monitor while I did homework and poo poo and watched the whole drat show in like 4 months, you too can watch the entirety of one piece if you set your mind to it (it's worth it)

More people need to watch hunter x hunter, it's like a little bit of one piece mixed with a little bit of JoJo, with way more moral ambiguity than you would expect from a shounen.

Also there's a pedo clown guy that I can't figure out how they got away with.

Are you saying that anime can't do those things at all, or just KLK? And if so, by what criteria is the show not about all the things I've been writing about?

Shakespeare just wrote sex comedies for a living. Spoilers: things that are the 'least deep' are actually 800% deeper than something that prances about with flashing crosses everywhere quoting the bible just to 'look deep.' A lot of anime fans fall for that poo poo though and call Eva and Madoka groundbreaking. KLK is groundbreaking for the precise reason that it pisses those people off and makes them uncomfortable. loving good.
