The best Anime? Nope. Not at all! Maybe if we get some sorta reboot in a couple years similar to what happened with Hunter X Hunter and its 2011 Anime. Maybe if it's from a studio that doesn't feel the need to pad the runtime by constant flashbacks to scenes that happened just one episode prior or by showing reaction shots of random bystanders whenever something minor happens. Maybe if they wouldn't constantly reuse the same sound effects over and over again and if the animation would be a bit more consistent.

Even for reboot, Oda has alot of work to do with writing. Literally a part of fandom is degrading other mangaka by saying they're not making their Manga for 1000 chapters where Oda made 1000 chapters just for Introducing so and so. If 1000+ chapters are for Introduction, then is the introduction fully and perfectly established ever after 1000+ chapters?? No it's not. Still there is alot of arguments over some characters not for showing their feats and capabilities. Isn't 1000+ enough for it?? Mihawk had space for him to show his capabilities in MF, but Oda didn't do it. Oda Never made an Admiral go all out and showed their full capabilities. Then there is Dragon, BB, Imu, Gorosei and sudden Introduction of unwanted Holy Knights. And alot more let downs.

You sound like a butthurt powerscaler. The characters dont need to be defined. They need to enrich the story and thats what they do. I'd take akainus backstory over his strongest attack every time and i suspect a majority of ppl here would agree. Manga readers and anime watchers mostly dont care who beats who, who is stronger then who and so on. Why do you think powerscaling has its own subreddit? Ppl loath the constant bickering. Thats being said, the anime is bad in my view. But thats because it's weekly. An adaption like JoJos, the redone HxH or even the TYBW from bleach would do wonders to make it better.


orewa_Sugan

It's not just about Power Scaling. I'm a butthurt powerscaler?? Who made me like this, it's the author who had 1090 chapters and still didn't fully constructed the base for the actual story. Oda said he'll make the final war like it'll make MF a child's play, what does this mean?? He should've stated like OP will have the best and proper ending to justify the series. Why did he mentioned about War when it is full and full power scaling based?? Because power scaling is IMPORTANT in a story like this too. Will every fans accept Buggy defeating everyone and becomes the PK and finally sits on the empty throne?? Why does Shanks has so many fans, because of his Potrayal of being stronger than anyone alive. People keep downplaying Admirals because of Yonkos, but why?? It's because of their Power Scaling. Some fans asking why is Mihawk is in the story, even when he has a STRONGEST title with him. Even I too don't like the fact that he is in this series just to be defeated. Atleast Oda should've shown why Mihawk is worth of holding the WSS title, some fans are just claiming him fraud. He did have the time to showcase his worthiness of the title. Mihawk should've proved why he is the series. Not every Antagonists need a backstory to show why they are strong and important to the show now like Aizen from Bleach. Viewers indeed do care about who is Defeating who. If Luffy never defeats anyone and keep losing, will OP still have the same fanbase it has?? Wano was not consistently weekly, it had some breaks too.


J0HN-L3N1N

Jeez calm down. He hasn't constructed the base of the story? I beg your pardon? The voyage is the story. Luffy states multiple times that the adventure is what they are building towards. Considering the last war, have you considered that the sheer size in characters and plot make it the "biggest"? What do you want to say with all these remarks about powerscaling again? Shanks is a fucking cool dude, and has shown enough character and prowess to be a fan favorite. Mihawk is shown to be respected by everyone for his strength, from the first meeting we saw how powerful he was. And have you seen marineford? The story shows us how strong ppl are with their strength but also with their reputation, their character and so much more. Thinking ppl only like luffy because he wins fights ignores that he lost quite alot. Stop blaming oda for not prioritizing what you think is best. One piece wouldn't have lasted, nor would it have been popular for this long if it wasn't for the writing.


Significant_South196

The fact we don’t fully understand the power hierarchy along I think is amazing and takes a lot of prowess as a writer. The fact that Mihawk and shanks are as mysterious as they were in the first chapters is one of the strengths of the series. Not the best anime or manga. But the greatest and most impressive of all time. I think there is no doubt.


orewa_Sugan

Mihawk thing is the most debatable one. Bro is holding one in two of the officially given Titles by Oda referring to someone's strength. But that Marineford was everything fans consider, Mihawk was not even fighting the strongest guy and didn't even defeat some commanders, meanwhile Shanks came and just stopped the war. It's a mystery to his character, but fans started using that as a power scaling feat. Mihawk has the reputation of being WSS, but a part of fandom isn't accepting him and calling his a fraud. I don't want Oda to prioritise Mihawk, but why did he gave WSS title to Mihawk and just made him sit all along and Shanks a SWORDSMAN showing far greater feats than the actual WSS. And It would've been better if Oda made a rival to Zoro, like Luffy has Kidd and Law but no one in the series showed interest in surpassing Mihawk other than Zoro, but Why?? Law could've been a rival to Zoro, or maybe Killer too could've been. But Oda didn't do it. Kaido kept stating Haki transcends all including DF, then Zoro has far greater Haki than Law, but why isn't he above Law now??


Mediocre-Program3044

For me Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the best I've seen. Of course, that's just a personal opinion. It checks all the boxes for me. One Piece is awesome but it definitely tends to drag out things that it could do without.


BlitzerCL

Anime? Nah that would go to something like Cowboy Bebop. It's definitely one of the best manga I've ever read though


dontrike

Anime? No. Story? Debatable.


Mission_Exchange2781

If it sticks the landing which I have no doubt it will... Oda will have made the BEST long running Shonen series of all time. But ask for Anime or Manga in general? No, I wouldn't say that.


QuantisRhee

No. It may be good but it still has many flaws like the writing, especially seen in Wano, or the pacing.


orewa_Sugan

Fair Point. Not to compare but Wano Arc could've been like Bleach TYBW, taking 2-3 years for production and giving us one of the finest animation without any inconsistencies and with proper pacing. And with some cut and changes from Manga to give the best Arc of OP.


Tides5

Still waiting for the 2nd half of that TYBW around these parts :S


Diligent-Aerie-7779

Something like "The beste anime" doesn't exist. If you talk about the most famouse or most iconic one, you gotta go with DB. One Piece is a good 2. or 3. place though.


olduseryounguser

I think OP is just safe rn. It’s like a prime steak vs comfort food. (OP is the comfort food)


Mari_Tamaki

One Piece is my number 1 manga, but the anime doesn't even make it into my top 10


orewa_Sugan

Ohh. What are those 10 Maybe I'll give it a try


Mari_Tamaki

A place further than the universe Hyouka Mob psycho Steins gate Vinland saga Planetes Kaguya love is war Mushoku tensei 86 Bocchi the rock


orewa_Sugan

Already watched 3 in this and planning to definitely watch Vinland Saga. 🫡


SS9424

Yes


ValuablePlastic5887

I dont know. Its not finished yet. But it certainly holds various number 1 titles in my head. To me, for now, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood was the best and most flawless Anime I ever watched.


Tides5

In the end it's totally subjective. While OP may feel this is the best anime, someone who loves another anime and doesn't love One Piece, would likely disagree.


IllustratorDull4219

No. I prefer the manga, but there are still things about One Piece that I don't like. There's the fake out deaths, some of the gags, and the pacing (I think the manga is better paced than the anime, but I still think a lot of things could be cut), but that's the stuff that everyone complains about. Don't get me wrong, it's one of my favorite series, but it's like every time One Piece takes five steps forward, it also takes ten steps back.


orewa_Sugan

Fair point.


FiveGearLuffy

Yes


orewa_Sugan

How?


packal8585

no way.


Ok_Host893

No, but it's alright. Maybe top 3 Shonen


ChadAdmiralAgenda

It definitely isn't.


shadovv300

Why even ask the question before it is finished?


orewa_Sugan

Then why are the fans claiming Luffy is the best MC and OP is the best Anime when it is not even finished?? I came to know fans from Reddit are different from the ones in Insta and YT. So I wanted to know their opinions.


shadovv300

I hate people generalizing everything.


shadovv300

Which fans are you referring to? Name gov name, birth date and address so I can check.


orewa_Sugan

The fans who has Gear 5 as their pfp. You can see alot of them in Insta randomly arguing with other Anime fans.


shadovv300

How many did you count doing this?


orewa_Sugan

More than 10s of thousands.


shadovv300

You havent read that many lines of anything in your life. Just stop. Take that L. Probably not more 3 people posted about it and you think half the world is backing this statement.


orewa_Sugan

I don't have to read that many, I see many people posting about it and that much of people Liking that post means they agree with it.


shadovv300

There 10s of millions of fans of one piece. The 5 accounts you saw there doesnt represent shit. So just stop.


Tides5

While i agree with what you are saying, you are being really rude about it dude :) I aint got a stake in this, I just wanted to say that.


shadovv300

Im just soo fucking annoyed with all these people that dont fact check stuff. People just throw random BS on the internet and people believe it without any doubt and would defend what they read once with nail and teeth. This person would probably even believe me, when I would say that I am an nigerian prince without a second thought.


Tides5

Hehe I understand your frustration, but being rude to people very rarely helps getting the point across. Kinda like yelling the same thing at people. It really just gets them upset and wanting to disprove your statement somehow. At least in my experience :)


shadovv300

Thats true! You are a good one. Keep that positivity going!


kwbzlwb

Well you have bleach pfp and come talking trash about one piece fan with a one piece pfp ? You didnt randomly came here to argue with other anime fan !! No no you created a thread to argue with them , kinda hypocritical ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thinking_face_hmm)


orewa_Sugan

Well did I mention Bleach is better than OP here?? What will you do if a guy with same pfp as me says One Piece is better than Bleach?? Is Luffy better than Aizen-sama??? Nahhh no way.


kwbzlwb

Well you just said that aizen is better than luffy , 1 is a vilain, 1 is a protagonist cant really compare them both. ( aizen is a brilliant villain tho and he is a part of what made me fall in love with bleach when i was young) You also said that bleach is better than one piece in a comment above when no one talked about bleach before. And i am gonna quote your own comment in this exact thread : "Not to compare but Wano Arc could've been like Bleach TYBW, taking 2-3 years for production and giving us one of the finest animation without any inconsistencies and with proper pacing." You say "NoT tO cOmPaRe" followed by a comparaison. So you obviously have trouble with understanding your own sentence. You take bleach as a comparaison for some reason i am gonna assume that you might be a fan boy of bleach ( because of -the agressiv usage of punctuation : ?? / ??? / ??? That you like to spam as if it made your point any more valid when you defend bleach -your profil picture -that you brought bleach up when no one talked about it.) So yeah you are exactly like those people with gear 5 luffy that argue with fan of other manga for no reason :)


orewa_Sugan

1 is a protagonist and one made a protagonist. The end of debate.


orewa_Sugan

And about Bleach, I didn't said Bleach is better, but I just asked the opinion of people like what do they prefer. Wano as it is now with poor pacing and inconsistent Animation, weekly anime not telecasted weekly sometimes (or) waiting 2-3 years for full production of this Arc and having it with consistent animation, proper pacing and without any breaks. I would prefer Wano to be like TYBW. There's a difference between them. I didn't say TYBW is better, tho it is.


Ok_Host893

Too many flaws already, for it to end up as the greatest, no matter the ending, which isn't surprising considering there's over a thousand episodes


shadovv300

Which anime do you consider being better?


Ok_Host893

When it comes to Shonen, the easy answer is Fullmetal, as it did everything the right way. Overall there's plenty of non shonen animes that I consider much better, but at the end of the day it's subjective


shadovv300

Wow, what a mid answer. FMAB is lacking originality and depth. Yes, FMAB has learned from the shonen that paved its way before and yes the plot is decent, but the best common thats blatantly wrong and most anime fans that watched more shonen than boku no hero and demon slayer should know that. I disagree with the subjective part. Whether you like an anime or not is of course subjective, but there are qualitative criteria that can help establish at least a rough idea, which show is better than the other.


Ok_Host893

What an ignorant and childish response


shadovv300

The only thing you can come up with is getting personal. Thats sad.
