One Piece - with One Pace i got through the alabasta arc. The characters all have good back stories and motivations. I mean it is well written, but with how the stakes and emotional depth are managed it just feels like a sit-com. I want to like it more, but i just don’t foresee myself throwing it on again.
Most of that stuff is better handled in the manga. One Pace can’t fix the bad soundtrack, animation and such that plagued the series from the start. It doesn’t turn into a character drama or anything, I think the online fandom exaggerates that aspect of the series to get people to start watching… But it is better
The animation and soundtrack actually didn’t bother me after the first couple arcs. I think it has a lot to do with how the show engages with emotions. It’s not meant to dig too deep. It’s supposed to be a sort of all ages work and it achieves that. I can totally see how people enjoy it btw. Not knocking it, it’s a really big accomplishment in its own right. It just lost my interest after a while. If it evolves beyond there, it wasn’t fast enough for me. Which is weird, because i usually like slow burns.
