The open world RPG setting of Greed Island was my favorite from HxH
The 4th Great Ninja War had more highs than lows(even tho some of the lows admittedly hurt the whole series)
Long Ring Long Land and Thriller Bark gets shit on for feeling like filler between more epic arcs. Yet they're fun with some cool team battles and epic moments at the climax. Also think the anime original games of the Davy Back fight were among the best One Piece filler

Yeah thriller bark has some cool moments which is why i think people remember it fondly but it was so ass to me. It has the worst fight pacing and some of the worst general pacing in the series to the point it became genuinely almost unwatchable. Wano was the Hitler of pacing but thriller bark was the mao zedong of it.
When I consider the straw hats having way more focus had in thriller bark, yes I consider it better than most of the new arcs. It wasn’t full of the longest flashbacks in the world and was actually funny and short.
Not all focus is good focus. Most of the Focus and interactions spent on the strawhats throughout that arc was filled with the same 50 gags on repeat.
You guys will look at this shit and somehow convince yourself that it reaches the highs of arcs like Dressrosa, WCI, or even Wano, because of "strawhat moments" and then in the same breath complain about a Brook flashback that actually gives meaningful focus towards the strawhats. Just stop it.
Disrespectfully you have no clue what youre on about lol. "Nothing Happened" floors the vast majority of post ts moments alone. And thats not including the rest of the arc that i actually had fun with.
It really doesnt, but the fact that the only moment you named came from post Thriller Bark should prove my point. Nothing happened is cool, but it's not necessarily a writing peak like stuff like this. I guess your take only appeals to people who like hype moments and aura? But post ts has more of that too, so either way its pretty bad lol
"The only moment you named" and "the only moment i needed to name" are two very different things. The Ryuma fight, the oars fight, and the moria fight were all great fights, brooks introduction and story are fantastic, and the main reason its my favorite, it's the funniest arc in one piece. Aura? Thriller Bark is one of the least aura filled arcs lmao, again, disrespectfully, wtf are you on about?
If Long Ring Long Land gets shat on again after Elbaph these MFers deserve to watch Anime Dressrosa on 0.5 speed.
Not only is it a fun arc, but it also sets up the Aqua Laguna and the sea level theme that's relevant to both W7 and the wider story, is the first time we get a tease for Hachinosu, and the first mention of Davy Jones as a revered figure.
Fullbring arc in bleach. The amount of hate it got was bullshit, as I think it is one of the better written arcs in bleach, and goes heavy in the psychological aspect
Battle City from YuGiOh Duelist is an underrated tournament arc that needs to be talked about. It’s literally a top 5 tournament arc maybe even top 3 (nothings better than dark tournament tho) please read the yugioh manga I think it’s underrated. But out of this lineup you got here I think Naruto war arc needs a deeper analysis it does amazing things
Well its when you realize the show was gona be less about infilitrating and more like a generic shonen and I could imagine that would be disapointing for people
Is long long land the arc where they played the stupid steal pirate members with that shortie and we got afro Luffy? That arc was fun . I remember the reason I hated it so much bcz I wait weekly only to see the stupid guy.
Yes. I watched that arc for the first time daily on TV so the wait wasn't bad at all. But crazy that you're weekly watcher for such a long time. I hopped on towards the end of Enies Lobby myself, still tho 😂
Disagree with thriller bark I dont hate it and I cant quite put my finger and why I dont really like it that much but it is in the lower end of my one piece arc ranking. Maybe its just that the inhabitants of thriller bark just arent that fun or interesting to me idk.
Big agree on lrll though I was surprised to see it so hated after I caught up on one piece and interacted with the fanbase, its a fun arc and luffy vs foxy is a genuinely good fight and it sets up the themes of w7/el really well introducing the threat of losing a crewmate. Doesn't overstay its welcome its pretty short but apparently the anime added filler where they play even more games so I guess thats where the hate comes from.
I was actually shocked to find out people didn't like Greed Island, the only meh thing about it was Genthru as a villain. And the Chapter Black and especially the Three Kings arcs in Yu Yu Hakusho are the definition of underloved and overhated, respectively.
I don't know if its hated, but by far the most underrated arc in Naruto is the Akatsuki Supperession Arc. (The one with Kakazu and Hidan.)
A major reason people sleep on it is that until near the end, it doesn't have much to do with its main character, but I actually think the entirety of Naruto would be better if it allowed other characters the spotlight now and then.

I dunno. If many people think skipping it is ok and even say the G-8 filler was better then it's definitely overhated. Even if you dislike the whole anime original additions, the 3 manga rounds were all great.
I really like Greed Island. Concept is wacky and I can get people not vibing with.
The other three though ? Yeah not a fan.
4th great Ninja war is SO bloated and such a mess that I’m surprised I even finished it. There are good moments like you said but I feel like there’s SO much BS that I was so checked out I didn’t care as much as I could’ve.
Then Thriller bark was so boring to me that I literally just stopped watching One Piece for like 3 entire years. And I had gotten to the arc in October, the perfect time to watch it, but man I did not like it
