Unpopular opinion: 99% of anime is garbage.
I tried watching one anime to see if I was wrong. Watched high school of the dead, was met with crazy bouncing boobs between a sniper rifle shot. Regretted my decision immediately. All of it screams pedophilia to me.
It’s one thing to have a cool shot, but it went on for 10+ seconds of bouncing animated tits. Just not interested in animated porn. Maybe if i was 12.
I feel like if you’re gonna give a specific style of media exactly one good faith try, that should warrant a bit more careful curation lol. Like, why not go with something pretty much everyone agrees generally is great like a Ghibli film? What made you choose THIS anime of all things?
I’ve seen howls movie castle, thought it was good, forgot about that. Do want to see Kiki’s delivery service.
Would probably help if ya watched some Seinen which is generally of a higher quality. May I suggest Hellsing Ultimate and Black Lagoon? Just be ready for some proper ultra violence, also pretty sure all the characters are of age.
I did try chainsaw man, but just couldn’t get into it. I thought the idea was interesting though.
Bruh if you see that scene as porn rather than absurdist humor and satire, you might have some weird repressed kinks. Which, not saying that’s a bad thing necessarily, just that you might wanna look at things through a different lens
I just care for it. Also all the other anime that seem to worship girls that look 9.
Yes I would call that unpopular indeed
Most of One Piece is in the 1%
And the 1% that isn’t was made before 1980.
I dunno, The Boondocks was pretty good.
I really liked Avatar and it’s spinoff
There’s been great stuff since the 80s. Even some of the stuff that became popular outside of the typical anime fandoms, you have things like Cowboy Bebop, which oozes style, and the 2 FMA series that have solid storytelling and complex characters with great music and animation.
Maybe wait for next year, there will be a remake that should compress the episodes published by Netflix.
Try Sandmännchen instead.
I just calculated if you try catch up with all 1180 episodes today, then you need to watch for 12 hours per day without a single second of interruption for 38 days, to get to today’s most recent episode.
Did you take into account effective watch time? I would exclude intro and outro… also some animes spend 3-5 minutes repeating the last 3-5 minutes from last episode (almost verbatim, super cheap imo).
Edit: according to this source, it’s between 18 and 20 minutes of actual watch time. Not bad at all.
1179 episodes, 20 min per episode, 12 hs max a day… 32,75 days
New anime speedrun tech, only watch the recaps.
Probably only one recap each 5 episodes for some animes
Edit, only watching recaps, it would be
1179 ep, 2 min per episode, 12hs max a day: 3,27 days
Wonder how much the One Pace series eliminates from the watch time? Lmfao I watch it when I need to catch up and it honestly helps a lot.
Last time I checked (about a year ago) it’s ~40% of the original run time.
For anyone not already aware, One Pace is a fan profect to re-edit the series to reduce runtime like overly long shots, repeating animations, and recaps. It also condenses 3-6 episodes into one hour super episodes to reduce how often the intro/outro credits run because they also take up a lot of time
There was one anime where an episode ends with the protagonist barely winning a very bloody fight. I made a snap judgment “He’s probably going to need to spend an episode recovering from his injuries, so I’ll just skip one.”
I think I got it dead on and it honestly didn’t seem like I missed much. But I have no idea what that guidance should be for One Piece.

Just watch the One Pace fan edit
At least One Piece looks close to finishing. I’m also waiting on Case Closed and I can see that one going for another 10 years…
If you have not started, I’d recommend waiting for “the one piece”, a remake of the anime that will be much shorter, it will probably be a much more reasonable commitment to see it. It should start airing in february 2027.
That’s my plan also. I wish they did that with all shounen, streamlined, no fillers, consistent animation. I’d pay for a Naruto like that.
That would be nice, Bleach too
AFAIK it’s going to be at the same-ish pace as the live action version
Ooo. Thank you. I think I’ll do just that. Wait until it starts in February.
Didn’t they get the One Piece and just find out it’s actually just one piece (1/8th) of the real McGuffin they thought they were looking for?
I was up to date on One Piece ….in 2015….
Don’t even want to know how far behind I am nowi was following one piece up until 2013 manga only. started watching the anime couple years ago and still hasnt catched up until now
I’m guessing there’s good jumping on and off points for these types of shows. Like, if you don’t want to watch 1000 episodes, start on episode X and watch till episode Y to get a good complete(ish) story.
One piece is best experienced starting from episode 1. If you don’t want to watch over 1000 episodes the manga will always be an option.
I’ve seen a bit of it but I vaguely remember it having very weird looking character art.
