Why did people hate ‘Santa Barbara’? Because it existed to churn out endless drama that led nowhere.
I haven’t watched ‘One Piece’ and not ever planning to, but there’s no way that over a thousand episodes that go on for twenty-six years deliver any kind of a meaningful story that gives me something to think about.
The visual style takes getting used to, it is 1999 Toei a few years after DBZ. The funny but deeply serious style also takes some getting used to. It’s similar to JoJo’s bizarre adventure in that way. Jarring and confusing if you don’t get it, but it quickly makes sense once you let down your walls. It’s goofy and charming and inspiring as hell.
I seriously think it’s really worth a real try. I’d be very interested to know your thoughts after even like… ten episodes, if you do try it.
First ep is an arc all on its own, the next three are another arc, and then the next few are into the next arc. They just get longer and deeper each arc, is what happens. Even thinking about it makes me want to rewatch it again. It’s so good.
I don’t know if you saw this meme that popped up here like a month ago
Edit: I want to add onto this that I think one of the big differences between one piece and other stuff is that one piece is a designed story. It has a start and a finish, it always has. Now, it isn’t over yet, so we’ll see. But just because something is long, does not mean it is bad. It often does, but it isn’t always the case.
I don’t get why people hate on one piece so much

Ironically and chaotically: you should try it.
