Yes I would call that unpopular indeed

99% of all media is garbage. Anime is not special in that sense.

I tried watching one anime to see if I was wrong. Watched high school of the dead, was met with crazy bouncing boobs between a sniper rifle shot. Regretted my decision immediately. All of it screams pedophilia to me.
It’s one thing to have a cool shot, but it went on for 10+ seconds of bouncing animated tits. Just not interested in animated porn. Maybe if it was 12.

I love anime, and this holds true.

Two objectively wrong opinions; all anime is trash, and no anime is trash.

Most of One Piece is in the 1%
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
And the 1% that isn’t was made before 1980.

There’s been great stuff since the 80s. Even some of the stuff that became popular outside of the typical anime fandoms, you have things like Cowboy Bebop, which oozes style, and the 2 FMA series that have solid storytelling and complex characters with great music and animation.

The one piece was the friends we made along the way.
And the gigantic boobs that got way bigger along the way.

I just calculated if you try catch up with all 1180 episodes today, then you need to watch for 12 hours per day without a single second of interruption for 38 days, to get to today’s most recent episode.
ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 hours ago
28 days. There’s 18 minutes pf material per episode. The rest is extremely long title sequence and recaps to pad out time.
TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 2 hours ago
Is there a no title sequence and recaps and bits that go on to long cut out fan edit?
I jsut scrolled down. There is. Goddamn I need to hibernate for 50 years so there’s something decent to watch when I wake up.

Sometimes it can be nice to have a consistent ongoing side project tbh. I started one piece when it had about 800 episodes, took ages but its far from a slog, killer story all the way through.
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 hours ago
Sometimes I binged 10 episodes straight sometimes only 3 or 4.
Caught up within 6 or so months watching everything (including fillers) until the Punk Hazard Arc.
Since then I am following the show live (more or less)
Siegfried@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Did you take into account effective watch time? I would exclude intro and outro… also some animes spend 3-5 minutes repeating the last 3-5 minutes from last episode (almost verbatim, super cheap imo).
HereIAm@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
New anime speedrun tech, only watch the recaps.
sploder@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Wonder how much the One Pace series eliminates from the watch time? Lmfao I watch it when I need to catch up and it honestly helps a lot.
Katana314@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
There was one anime where an episode ends with the protagonist barely winning a very bloody fight. I made a snap judgment “He’s probably going to need to spend an episode recovering from his injuries, so I’ll just skip one.”
I think I got it dead on and it honestly didn’t seem like I missed much. But I have no idea what that guidance should be for One Piece.
black0ut@pawb.social 14 hours ago
I’ve been watching one piece on and off during my free time. It has taken me 2 years to get to episode 470. I think this is gonna take a while…
Hack3900@lemy.lol 14 hours ago
Or read an divide that by at least 5 (chapters are 15 pages adapted individually into 25 minute episodes, the anime’s a pretty terrible adaptation for that reason)
Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 13 hours ago
I saw an example recently of a segment that seemed to last like 3-5 minutes in the anime, but was 4 panels in the manga. I don’t even think it was the full page. Is the anime really that bad at pacing?
Signtist@bookwyr.me 22 hours ago
I love it, but the length is certainly a hurdle. It took me years to get through the anime, and there were several points where it felt like it took multiple episodes to make even the most minor progress in the story. Still, though, the story itself is great, and it seems that recently things are back to the snappy pace that the beginning of the show used to have, at least where the dub leaves off.
Monster96@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
I’ve recently been using one pace to watch the anime. I found that is cuts a lot of “shocked face” shots that last a unnecessarily long time and a few others
Goodeye8@piefed.social 11 hours ago
I have to give it a go. I tried to start watching over piece years (decade?) ago, back when Ace was to be executed. I started from the beginning and it was a snore fest. Decided I’ll just skip the start and watch episodes as they come out. After spending what felt like an eternity watching Luffy run on ice I just gave up on the entire series because it felt like an episode worth of story was stretched to 5 episodes.

Is it simliar to Naruto Kai with how they cut all the filler?

Ah yes, the horse-walks-into-a-bar cut.

I had a friend who I saw catching up on the anime in 2023, he texted me a few months ago to say he had reached the newest episode.
zammy95@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
I caught up FAR to fast. I was working from home. A new job, and it was right around the holidays. So no one wanted to really train me for awhile, so they gave me easy work that took no time at all. I don’t think I’ve ever binged something so hard in my life haha
tagoth@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
If you have not started, I’d recommend waiting for “the one piece”, a remake of the anime that will be much shorter, it will probably be a much more reasonable commitment to see it. It should start airing in february 2027.

For an even quicker speedrun, LEGO One Piece comes out on Tuesday.
brave_lemmywinks@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
That’s my plan also. I wish they did that with all shounen, streamlined, no fillers, consistent animation. I’d pay for a Naruto like that.
tagoth@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
That would be nice, Bleach too
TootSweet@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
Ooo. Thank you. I think I’ll do just that. Wait until it starts in February.

AFAIK it’s going to be at the same-ish pace as the live action version

I was up to date on One Piece ….in 2015….
Don’t even want to know how far behind I am nowSigntist@bookwyr.me 8 hours ago
That was near the start of Dressrosa, which was a pretty long arc with a lot of fight episodes that seemed to just be the same back and forth stalemate over and over again. It’s unfortunately just a few arcs before the Wano arc that does the same thing to an even greater extent, unfortunately. The filler was already starting to wear on me by that point, but those 2 arcs took it to an extreme. Luckily, it seems that the creator has realized this as well, and the arc after Wano is a nice quick pace with plenty of stuff going on.
kahjtheundedicated@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Good to know. I do remember dropping it because it felt like I could watch 10 episodes and nothing happened. And sometimes I would just scrub through an episode to see if it’s still the same fight and pretty much just skip it.
When they weren’t fighting for 20 episodes at a time it was a fun show, but ehh idk if I’ll ever get back into it

naruto, bleach, one piece has been going on since the early 2000s.
Exatron@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Until the last decade or so, anime based on manga would run mostly weekly while trying not to overtake their source material. If the anime got too close to where the manga was, they’d do filler arcs/episodes or just stretch the material out.
On some occasions, the anime would just do something completely different from the manga. Fullmetal Alchemist is a good example. The first anime more or less matched the manga until around the Laboratory Five arc. At that point, the anime went in a completely different direction so it wouldn’t have to go on hiatus or do filler.
ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Naruto may be the exception because both series actually have an ending. Boruto was shit, however.
Cityshrimp@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
At least One Piece looks close to finishing. I’m also waiting on Case Closed and I can see that one going for another 10 years…

Conan I don’t even think has a goal anymore. Like it started with wanting to reverse the poison, but how often is that even addressed these days? It’s just a fun way to tell crime stories now.
Akuma@pawb.social 13 hours ago
If I remember correctly the author even stated that they had no intent on ever finishing the story and wants to keep it alive/going for as long as possible.
DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
Didn’t they get the One Piece and just find out it’s actually just one piece (1/8th) of the real McGuffin they thought they were looking for?

danc4498@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
I’m guessing there’s good jumping on and off points for these types of shows. Like, if you don’t want to watch 1000 episodes, start on episode X and watch till episode Y to get a good complete(ish) story.
