It should be illegal to recommend shows with more than 1000 episodes.
If you like it fine, but I saw it and the pacing is straight up horrible even if the worldbuilding is neat.
Guys!!! It gets good around chapter 1176.

Fuck the asimes pacing, it’s unbearable. Luckily onepace.net exists
Fuzzypyro@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Thank you for posting this. I gave up on the show a week ago around episode 600. Marineford legitimately felt like they spit in my face and told me my time was worthless with how many cuts of “he’s almost there”. The show looks like it gets interesting again afterwards but Marineford legit just sucked the will out of me to continue watching. I was thinking of looking up a fan edit to just get the cliff notes and this is perfect!
toaster_waffle@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Not for nothing, but the manga is paced much better and can be read legally, easily, and digitally for a $3/month subscription. Took me like a month and a half to read the whole thing.
You’ve made your opinions clear about long recommendations, so take it or leave it. You were interested once before, though, and it might be worth checking out.
Obi@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
Yep it’s the same with a lot of these super long series, they are much more digestible in manga form.

BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This is my same thought with soap operas. Not that I want to but how would you even get into a show that had been running 5 times a week for 30 years?
Khrux@ttrpg.network 11 months ago
I tried to watch the ocean cut of Naruto, which basically edits each arc down, cutting out unnecessary flashbacks and recaps, along with intros and intros, making it into basically a series of films.
It’s still 40 films worth of content and 3+ hours per film sometimes (I think, it’s been a while), and the pacing is still absolutely fucked which is a symptom of basically every episodic anime when binged.
Arthur_Leywin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I had to watch the first 40 episodes on 3.5x and that shit was still boring. I dropped it after 40 lmao

dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Shonen manga is notorious for having winding stories with no narrative endgame planned.
Even DBZ at 291 episodes is brutally long and drawn out, with a narrative that obviously repeats itself to the point of self-parody.
Everybody is gonna enjoy what they want to enjoy, but cmon.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I just rewatched Yuyu Hakusho and it became obvious real quick nothing planned from arc to arc. Even when the creators want a clean end, their editor will push for more if it’s popular enough. I can respect Demon Slayer for committing to the final villain that was setup in the beginning.
dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I wonder if that will translate over to the live action netflix YYH.
mlg@lemmy.world 11 months ago
A lot of these types of media have a really great premise and initial story before it devolves into every Shonen stereotype ever and way the hell too long and specific arcs.
Like One Piece’s original formula of sea travel, pirate action, and island story worked great. It only suffered from Toei’s asanine pacing for the Anime.
Now it’s basically 99% Island and nothing else. No one even acts like pirates anymore, and each Island lasts so long it actually gets boring to watch or read.
The real crime here is that each chapter is about 15 pages, with currently 1101 chapters, yet the each anime episode is 24 minutes long and there are currently 1087 episodes.
Toei has milked this content harder than their infinite stalling in DBZ.

Gigan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
One Piece is great, but it is a big investment. Worth it IMO. If you’re not sure, watch the Netflix live action. It’s only 8 episodes and is pretty faithful to the original.
Pistcow@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I was laid off, and in my 13 months before getting a new job, I didn’t watch a single episode.
Assman@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Same, except the getting laid off part
jol@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
And it’s a high risk investment at this point. I hope Oda stays healthy to see through his masterpiece.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
3 more years tops. Iirc he mentioned he has one more arc in him. Historically they’re 2ish years long give or take. So just a bit longer and we’ll get to see how the one piece was the friends we made along the way.
Jk I know he said it wasn’t that.
GreenPlasticSushiGrass@kbin.social 11 months ago
I loved the live action One Piece much more than I thought I would. Just realize that it's goofy and go along with it and you'll have fun.
6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Plus if you like it enough to watch the anime you can skip like 50 episodes
blazera@kbin.social 11 months ago
That thing is like the least faithful adaptation of anything.
Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Ding dong you are wrong
Syrc@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah “faithful” isn’t what I would call it but your comment is a huge exaggeration and I hope you know that. I’d struggle to find western adaptations that change less stuff than what the OP LA did.

Chapter 1176?
The quality of the anime has some serious dips, but the manga is absolutely god tier from start to finish.
Phen@lemmy.eco.br 11 months ago
Nah, the manga has its issues too. They are just minimal compared to the anime. Oda will sometimes easily spend 10 chapters moving characters around just to setup some specific scene he wants to draw, then spend another 10 moving them back to where they need to be to continue the story. Half of wano was just moving chairs.
AlmightySnoo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You haven’t read Detective Conan it seems.
Katana314@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I vaguely remember there was an old line in Conan about how the de-aging poison would kill Shinichi if not reversed soon. Guess they had to conveniently forget that to preserve their commercial mascot.
ShortFuse@lemmy.world 11 months ago

Omg it’s still ongoing? I remember being a kid, when the anime was on TV. That means the manga should be even older.

Like the Bible, I maybe haven’t read every single word, there was the title, something something with a ship and a cross, then a damn long register, but I think, I got the essence. It’s a boring antediluvian scam, kinda like Elon has written it…
pjnick@ttrpg.network 11 months ago
First time I’ve seen the word antediluvian used in a context that wasn’t referring to the ancient super vampires from Vampire the Masquerade.
Nerorero@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
Wait, that’s not what they meant here?
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I think it’s more like a soap opera to the Japanese, that’s a guess though. It started in 1998 or 99, which means if you were 5 when you started watching it, you’re in your upper 20’s which is wild. I think there are people that cut out all of the filler of the anime that you can watch and the netflix adaption is about 4 years’ worth.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
It’s called One Pace, it’s a fan edited version that takes out filler and overly long panning shots etc. to make the pacing of the anime match the manga more closely.
Katana314@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I realize that’s something I really like about unvoiced JRPGs, and manga; my reading pace dictates the scene’s pace, and I’m a decently fast reader. I’m not going to rush delivery on a dramatically impactful line, but I also won’t linger on some duke blabbing about the history of his house’s conflict with the weekend’s villain.
dalekcaan@lemm.ee 11 months ago
And most importantly, the flashbacks.
So. Many. Flashbacks.

The Netflix Live action One Piece didn’t even cover all of the East Blue Saga, which ran from 1997 to 1999 originallly.

From what I’ve read, they are framing out 12 seasons.

In the manga you mean? I thought one piece anime was '99 and I’m going off of that.
psud@aussie.zone 11 months ago
When I had a kid at home who liked one piece I learnt that the show has no end. You can watch it while you want to and you’ll get a little story progression. You don’t need to start at the start, you don’t need to watch to the non existent end
It was fun to watch the first twenty or so episodes then jump to the current state (current state circa 2007)

Jerb322@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m somewhere around 350 episodes I think. My least favorite would be the episodes with a lot of screaming. I know it’s Anime and a bit of that is expected but some get to a whole new level.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
The anime has been in production so long it’s extremely hit or miss, the effort to put into its production falls of a cliff several times. It’s part of the reason I personally can’t stand it in comparison to other anime series or even the manga.
It’s a pity, some of the OP movies are excellently produced and I’d really like it if a version of the whole story with FMAB level production quality existed. But that’d be a massive undertaking at this point, so it is unlikely to happen.
The episodes airing currently have pulled their shit together on the animation, but they are still re-cycling the same old OST recordings and SFX samples, making the anime unwatchable for me.
Pistcow@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Soooo basically, The Simpsons? As of late, some real banger episodes. Not a fan that they retcon’d Marge being in high-school in 1999.
6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I don’t know about you but I watch it at 1.5% with a heavy hand on skipping all recaps. Also yes it reaches near dbz-levels of screaming

randon31415@lemmy.world 11 months ago
One piece is the definition of “It’s the journey, not the destination.” Nothing the One Piece could actually be would be worth 23 years worth of content hyping it up.
(I myself am still a fan of the “one-(head)-piece” that make someone a king, but has to be an item that has been around since the first season theory. Gee, I wonder what that head-piece could be?)
cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ve only seen the live action series. Are you talking about loofys hat?
No idea what that theory is.
Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Yea luffy’s hat. It’s been a while since I read the Manga, I could have sworn gold d Roger had the straw hat when he got executed but it wasn’t present in the live action show.
Daft_ish@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The one piece is the friends we made along the way.
Oops sorry it’s the more powerful than God fruit. Still can’t swim in seawater tho.
Patches@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
But Gol D Roger had the hat prior to visiting laugh tale?
That would be a terrible consolation prize. I subscribe to the theory that the World Government is whom split the world into 4 pieces during the Void Century. Whatever the One Piece is - it will have the power to rejoin the 4 oceans.
It would solve every dream of all the Straw Hat Pirates.
steeznson@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Favourite theory I heard was that the One Piece refers to all of the oceans being joined by destroying the strip of land in the centre of the cross shaped continent. They foreshadow it by having every character dream about the different types of fish all co-habiting in the same ocean.
