I can’t deny this lol. Sometimes you like it from the start, but the start is very corny since it was made in the 90s, so it doesn’t grab everyone right away, but it matures really well over time and becomes more timeless. But even then I have to admit it can be an acquired taste with its cartoony style and wacky characters/world.
Unfortunately it will always still suffer from the shounen curse of reared in stakes and development. Certain mainstay characters simply won’t grow anywhere but in power and no one is ever allowed to die or leave. Everyone simply has their personal story “on hold” perpetually till they get rushed near the end.
I do not watch One Piece. But I did start to play One Piece Odyssey. Every character in the crew there was already present in a One Piece Musou game I played in the early 2010’s. That tells me all I need to know about how much the story progressed for real. That’s Why I scoff and laugh whenever I see people not list out which large chunks of a long runner to skip, or when directors like FF14’s states it’s all worth it and you should not skip to HS. I’m a human with basic pattern recognition. I’ve seen that bullshit before and recognize it for what it is.
You’re right and wrong, but the way you said it makes me think no one likes talking to you or much less holding a conversation with you. Which is why that’s all I’ll say.
I’m not really sure why it’s such a bad thing. The fact that they’re there and alive doesn’t necessarily detract from the story. They interact with so many other characters that get a lot of screen time compared to the main crew, and those characters eventually leave or die. And it’s fine. I’m not looking for the crew members to die and be replaced.
