Even the anime adaption was good and I hate the anime!
Like the music and animation from Zoro vs Ryuga was too damn good.

Only real benefit is the few nicely animated scenes, and the audio stuff like Brookes backstory and some amusing voice acting with like the Negative ghosts, or luffy pushing the zombie back into the ground. The pacing is awful and theres some pretty lazy animation for a lot of it, though thats not specific to that arc. Such a great manga deserved better than Toei.

I've never heard of this comic. Is it a comedy?

The anime wasn't even all that bad in the beginning but Toei gonna Toei though.
I tried watching one of the current episodes the other day and just could not stomach it.
The easiest category would be it's an adventure comic. It has one the best built worlds in the history of fiction and has tackled many topics including slavery, racism, classism, genocide, matricide, cannibalism, prejudice, child abuse, death, etc all while keeping an overall lighthearted and whimsical tone. To me there are very, very few things I would consider a Masterpiece and One Piece is one of those things.

I recently saw the Strong World movie, really fantastic! So many of these "long shonen series movies" are just disposable and forgettable, but this was so stylish and high quality. Great animation, music, action.

It's the cast man, you can watch the Straw Hats in pretty much any setting, and they'll always entertain you lol
That's part of why I think filler arcs in One Piece are not only mostly tolerable but actually good at times. The characters are just so fantastic that you can dump them into almost any situation and get B- material. The arc where everyone forgets they're a crew except Robin is a filler arc I actively seek out and have rewatched several times dubbed and subbed. A lot of times Brooke has felt like he's spinning wheels character that will crack a joke or two but mostly in the background but the Whole Cake island arc Brooke has had two of the most important moments in the entire arc and has been incredible from start to now.

Best comic book on the planet, Japanese or otherwise.
Gold is the better film honestly and is the best of the threeI recently saw the Strong World movie, really fantastic! So many of these "long shonen series movies" are just disposable and forgettable, but this was so stylish and high quality. Great animation, music, action.

Gold for me is the best because not only was it just a fun time in addition to being the usual where Luffy goes and saves the day, but it's the first movie where you could see the setting being a part of an actual arc in the manga. Imagine, going to the world's richest person's ship, a safe space where pirates and navy don't antagonize each other and just enjoy themselves. So much potential there...

Is there romance yet?
I dropped the series like a couple years ago or so.
I felt like OP is missing something and it's romance.

It is not missing romance. It has romance for the seas and freedom though.
That said, the current arc kinda has that?
Didnt expect to see Pokemon Adventures so high
Tbf the Oda trilogy Strong World, Z, Gold is sorta canon from what i heard or at least the characters like Z and Shiki are canon though yeah Gold is the only one that could legitimately happen in between arcs
Yea the characters are canon, the movies not so much. I dunno about Tesoro being canon though, is he?
Lucci probably also has Haki now, but we need confirmation I suppose...

I started only three years ago watching the dubbed anime with some friends and we're already up to date on the dubs all the way to episode 528.
I want to watch the subs and catch up and my friends are like "Nooo! We can watch and discuss them together this way!"
I am totally there with you. Like holy shit, the entire crew has not been together since they arrived at Dressrosa and that was four years ago.

Honestly the length of One Piece is one of the things I loved most about it, initially when I was about to start i was worried like everyone else but when I finally did get invested so in love was i with the series that I was happy to see I had 100s of episodes left and when I finally caught up I was devastated that I now had to wait weekly
Now that's quite a statement. I really like One Piece. I love Anime! But you should absolutely try to broaden your horizon a little bit if that statement is actually true.arguments aside, it's the best piece of fiction I've ever read.
come at me.

One Piece to War and Peace is what the Aeneid was to cave paintings.

OP is probably the most romantic manga out there.
At least in the traditional sense of the word.

The last thing this series needs is serious romance between characters.
Although as others have pointed out, it has arguably the greatest sense of romance in the traditional meaning of the word that you'll find in most adventure stories.

One Piece is also really funny which shouldn't be a big deal, but other shounen like Naruto, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter and Gintama are really bad at it.
Don't let MAL find out about this post lmao
I feel like this a little bit. I keep thinking it's going to happen despite what Oda has said in the past about it being a boys manga. I guess I'm hoping Pudding and Sanji become a sort of thing after this arc.
Don't know if it would happen since Pudding is insane, but, not gonna lie, the moment they had at the wedding was pretty fucking sweet. I want more of it.

I wish I did like it. The few serious episodes I've seen I've liked. The jokes just never land for me and I dislike pretty much anything with an episodic structure.
Not yet, give it time.

Nami isn't in that shot, that must be from the teaser before the movie got delayed.
No, there no serious real romance.
Baby 5 and Sai is the closest to a "serious" romance recently.
Unless you want to count Pudding and Sanji
OP is better without serious romance, because Oda just isn't interested and I rather him right stuff he's passionate about.
Adventure games s the biggest romance in the series.
Though there little romance sparkled though the series.
They really can't become a thing since that will change Sanji dynamic to much.
Promise to get together later, sure.

In what reality is Gintama not funny?
4 Kids bought the right as some kind of package deal and really didn't know what they had or clearly what they were doing.
If only it had a better international debut. I know Oda is jokingly mad at Kishimoto having international success with Naruto.

Best part of Dressrosa was a musical piece. Not sure if Sanji was listening though. :|

In the early days someone asked Oda if Nami loves Luffy or Zoro and he said that's not the demographic he's going for and wanted to keep things platonic or something like that.
"Of course they're in love... WITH ADVENTURE!"

Revamped how lol
Sanji to busy staring at twins.
He also said something along the lines as no romance among the Straw Hats but I got to go find the quote.
Yeah it's probably too late for any actual meaningful changes like from pre to post time skip (because I remember that not all things shown during the war arc are consistent with how haki was shown to work post time skip) but I only meant to phrase my disdain for it.

Still, I could listen to a radio drama with the japanese One Piece voice actors. They really bring the show to life.
Get him boys
