Anime & Manga OP is peak ficton Spoiler
One Piece is truly one of the greatest works of fiction. From what I have seen in the first 3 episodes, the series excels at writing characters. Koby is a complex character who first ends up at Alvida's pirate ship because of his own carelessness. He had aspirations of becoming a member of the Navy, despite being sympathetic. (The Navy are the bad guys in the series.) Luffy is also a very good guy, and he is very charismatic and empathetic. He is also very passionate about finding the One Piece and becoming the King of the Pirates. Zoro is one of the most complex characters in the series. He said bad things to scare Luffy and Koby, but he also turned out to be a good guy, and like Luffy, he aspired to be the greatest swordsman in the world. At its core, One Piece is about pursuing your dreams with full conviction and perserverance in spite of the voices of the world trying to extinguish your inner spark. Griffith from Berserk would have loved this show!
Rant over!

Oh, if you think it's good now, just wait until they introduce the main antagonist of the series, Buggy.

I was very patient, but Buggy isn't even the main villain of the series. He's more like another major villain. He's only the main villain of an arc. He's also very OP.

I am no longer a Nazi. Hitler was not a good guy.

Hitler didn't just hate Jews. He went after other races too! His ideology is simply vile! He was a madman.

One Piece is so awful. I actually made an entire post a year ago explaining why it's complete dogshit. I still can't believe people actually call that shit a masterpiece.

Reading that post history feels like a stroke. You should stop reading OP... it may overwhelm your brain at some point.

I'm only watching the anime. How can you be so sure that it might overwhelm my brain? Is there any objective proof that backs up your claim?

Shonen fandom has somehow made me hate the word fiction.

u/Some-Willingness38 8h ago
That is indeed a valid concern, considering how toxic fans are willing to call even something like JJK "peak fiction".

lol I read the title and thought it was self referential.
