"You could read or watch a thousand other things" Quality over quantity... One Piece is the greatest narrative of our generation, it's earned the acclaim.
Bro... You have to read other things to say this shit. It's because of weirdos like you that I even tried reading it. The shit is not as great as you guys claim. Read more books, man. Shit ain't even close to "peak fiction".
One Piece is a series that honestly feels that it could never be long enough the world is so big and the mysteries are so vast that it could keep going for another 1000 chapters and still have more to give the audience
In the words of a One Piece youtuber, newcomers falling in love with One Piece is like porn to us. Yes, you tell us how much you love Water 7 and cried over a ship
True on all accounts! I started watching about 3 or 4 months ago with my husband after literal years of us both saying we would never watch it (blame 4kids for that mindset) and we love it. We looked at each other and while we were crying and I said "I can't believe we're crying for a boat!"
One piece is the only anime that got me through tough times like depression, disease, and anxiety. i wouldn't be surprised if it changed someone's life, or even saved it
One Piece is the only thing I'm genuinely excited about every week, heck I didn't even cared about my birthday I just wanted to read new one piece chapter that day lol
As someone who's been with one piece since it originally started airing, it's always great to see new people feel this way about something that has personally influenced much of my life. I grew up with luffy and the straw hats. I'm glad you'll be with us to see the end. You nailed the last point. I'm actually looking forward to it ending so I can look back and smile at the entire journey. I was once asked "what if it turned out the one piece was nothing", and I quickly realized that doesn't matter. I spent time with fictional character I damn near consider my friends.
I always adore watching people fall in love with this series. It's really validating to hear someone else say, "One Piece changed my life" because I feel ridiculous saying it sometimes but it's really true! For me, the series has literally taught me how to cry again. For personal reasons I've never really cried much, but this series just destroyed that wall I'd put up and now I cry over everything. Lol. Loved the video! Would love to see more One Piece content from you if that's something you wanna do! 💛
I only started one piece this year and I have to say it’s changed me a lot… I was kinda depressed for years and it wasn’t until I found one piece it finally changed me. Waiting for the next chapter each week (when there isn’t a break of course) is so exciting especially when it leaves on a cliffhanger one piece will forever be my savour and I will always look to it as a sort of inspiration Also, my grades in school have increased a lot ever since I started it because I am finally starting to believe in myself and define what it truly means to fail and I’ll do better next time, it’s so easy to say but so hard to bring into reality and one piece taught me that through especially through the war arc (Basically all the arcs in one piece have played a part in it) :D (Btw I read the manga and watch the anime and how did I end up watching it? I started watching it cause I got bored and wanted to see what the hype was about… changed my life forever, the time I started watching it was around chapter 1040-1050 in the manga) Great vid btw!!! Edit: and yes I finished it within 3 months or so and I have caught up to the manga, so excited for chap 1065!!
Idk if there’s an anime I’ve seen that could go this long and still be interesting and fun. I was one of those ones who hated OnePiece but never actually took the time to watch it. Once I did it was over, I was glued in. I’m more sad that I know OnePiece will eventually come to an end.
I'm going to be honest: i was going to bed and i thought "yeah, i'll just watch this for a couple of minutes before going to bed, it's always the same stuff anyway" and i'm happy to say i was wrong. The fact that you talked about why One Piece is good FOR YOU instead of finding objective reasons drew me in, it's a nice touch that i really appreciate. It reminded me of what got me hooked in One Piece in the first place, and i'm always happy to see other people feeling what i felt. Amazing video, thank you :)
Great analysis I've watched many One Piece TH-cam videos, and I had never seen someone point out One Piece teaching us to live in the moment (and laugh in serious situations), good point! By the way, Oda sensei doesn't like his picture being shown, because he doesn't want readers to imagine his face when reading One Piece
You're very well-spoken. You could ramble about One Piece as much as you want and I'd love to see that. Somehow even as someone who's caught up to the manga since a few years, the way you philosophized the presentation of the story and how it changes your outlook on life, I loved that so much! I don't think I've seen it put this way before and I watch a lot of impressions and reviews for One Piece. You inspire me to change the way I see and experience things too. Adulthood can drain one so much and suck the life out of many things that you once enjoyed, but a lot of that comes from the way we handle and perceive things. Thanks for the insights! I hope you gain more support!
One Piece easily changed my life in so many ways, it influences me every day. Love to hear someone fall in love with it. Don’t want the story to ever end! Have fun catching up
Once you let go of that feeling of constantly needing to be caught up on the latest thing, you honestly feel so free. For the past three weeks I've been playing Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages from Switch Online. This is a game that came out in 2001. And I'm having an absolute blast. Just consume media you enjoy and don't care if it's the latest thing.
My biggest takeaways will be The sense of freedom (which i felt after the dailogue with Rayleigh in Sabaody) "The journey not the destination" (like you mentioned it) And also "To ask for help from someone" (you can't do everything by yourself...like luffy doesn't know how to navigate or sing or cook....but he got someone who can help him in his journey) Also Oda himself is such an inspiration on his journey to become the greatest mangaka....he fullfilled dreams of millions of people across the globe.
I 100% agree with everything you've said in this video. OP has seriously inspired me in so many ways: whether it's to take life less seriously and enjoy it, dedicate myself to reaching my goals, and strive for finding my crew. I wish I was able to get all my friends to watch it, but the amount of content is so intimidating (until you get into it, and wish it never ends.)
Welcome to the crew. And just a tip, because your pictures are in black and white. The manga's been colored completely until like 950, a much better read!!
Doesn't everyone want their fav manga/anime does not end? I mean u know it's so good.. so u just want more and more episodes/chapters.. it's the same for one piece.. it's not that it has so many chapters.. it's that IT HAS THAT MUCH AMAZING CONTENT!!!
I'm a fan of One Piece since 2006 one of the most interesting things for me are the all theories created by fans ( I'm sure you already saw some here and there ) . I've been watching or reading probably more than 50k theories through the years :D Oda sensei is pushing our imagination to the very limit . Even in the comment section under a theory video you can see people sharing their ideas :D One Piece is simply mind blowing.
I have been reading one piece since the beginning of 2020 and caught up midway through that year thanks to the pandemic. I have also read a lot of book before and after that, but honestly, nothing more has ever been unconsciously in grained in my brain, than the lessons taught in One Piece. Only after reading one piece, that I have started laughing in dire/serious situations. Trying to make things light and easier to deal with. While I do that, I haven't taken light of these situations. And I noticed that only after you mentioned that in the video. I joined my college at the end of 2020, and made many new friends. The thing that I never did before. I am the guy who always cracks jokes, and my friends laugh at them(at least most of the time) I hope you get caught up pretty quick and get to enjoy even more!!!
"A man dies when he is forgotten" This quote of one piece really hooked me back then. Coz at some point of my life depression strucked me and still has it going into me deep inside. Neglection and rejection surrounds me. It bugged me at some point.... but can't do it bcoz I might be forgotten and wants to breathe and still fighting till someone like Luffy might come and save me. Please don't make it end Oda. This is the only friend I have right now. I still want to fight. I still want to live.
The best thing Oda has done, is to tell us that One Piece is a real object and not just the clichéd "it was the journey and friends we made along the way." Therefore we can actually focus on and enjoy the journey (and friends we made along the way) knowing that we will not be cheated out of the end goal. There will be alot of mera storytelling that is pure genius and something that could not have been done if the manga wasn't as long as it is, but telling what it is would be spoilers and you should discover everything by yourself.
I'm kind of torn about one piece I am someone who has been watching and reading since practically day 1 when it came to the States yes 4 kids actually got me into it and I was about like 6 or 7 years old, but I'm so glad that I stuck on, but at the same time I'm jealous of new 1 piece fans who get to experience all these awesome moments at just a break neck pace compared to what I did. I mean I can't tell you how broken I was when luffy fought ussop or Ace dying or even brooks backstory. I love seeing people "discover" it and see them react to moments that I had to painstakingly explain to my family how cool it was. Though, the reason I'm torn is because it's on its final saga and I know that without it, it'll feel like I lost something, but people (or stories) don't die when they end, they die when they're forgotten.
On your point of the story being about the journey not the destination, a good way ive heard it expressed is that One Piece isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. The finish line is definitely an exciting part, but when you think about a marathon you usually think about the journey there.
Make sure you font forget to watch some scenes in the anime that you like in the manga. The anime can elevate the experience the manga could never achieve, and the anime has many mind blowing moments.
Always a fun to see new one piece fans talking about one piece… I grew up with One piece… I started watching it in 2005.. I was 10yo…and I really love One piece!
Growing up I was one of those kids who would always shit on One Piece because I was big on Naruto and Bleach, also the 4kids version left a bad impression on me. I decided to give it a try in 2020 and I’m glad I did as an adult because I probably wouldn’t truly understand some of themes that took place. I started the anime a episode a day and then by the time I got the Nami’s backstory I fell in love with the series. As the series went on I kept falling more in love with and before I knew it 3 months later I caught up to the anime and then the manga. I didn’t realize how how invested I was in the characters and the world building. It’s definitely now my favorite of the big 3 and some of the best if piece of fiction I’ve ever read or watched.
I have experienced the same things as an adult now I rarely get a breather to stop for moments that used to be the most important for me but now I feel like by going with adventures with my nakama although vicariously has me appreciate life more
One Piece has changed my life too, the story make me view the world from other perspective.I follow the story from Middle Schooler until now i'm 31 years old, still the best manga for me
I was born in 98 so basically the manga is older than me lmao, and thinking back on it i can say ive been watching one piece almost since the very beginning, since i saw one piece (and naruto, dbz, fma and others) for the very first time when i was like 5 years old on tv. Later on when i was like 11 or 12 and learned about internet pages where i could watch any anime the first one i looked for was obviously one piece. I remember it was around 400 episodes long thinking "damn thats long" but i was happy about it since i knew from the little i had seen as a child that i was going to like story and oh boy has it been a ride ever since, i will never regret having started one piece so early one
Respect boi, you earn my sub. either way the way you described op as a whole was just fantastic just as I would say it also the point of you adding "Luffy's character development" is a unique and I have never seen that with any other channel. Keep it up boi 👍
I can understand how OP could bring us back to our childhood, but I contend that it hits just as hard as an adult. I read the Harry Potter when it first came out; I was in my 40s but just couldn't go beyond Book 1. I knew I had past the age the book is good for. The same goes with Lord of the Rings even though I'd loved it as a kid. I'm just way too cynical as an adult; the same goes for the classics like Dickens, Kipling, Dumas, Robertson, most of whom I now found to be pompous, boring, if not downright racist. One Piece on the other hand, while I wish I could have read that when I was 14, but in the 20+ years I've been reading that in 3 languages, I never once felt I was beyond the target age. I could not get cynical with this story! I'm certain it'll continue to pummel me each time when I re-read it into my 90s, a 100 even if I'm still alive. Just thinking all new stories based on incidental characters after the main story concludes, by fans or in canon, they could be doing the next 100 years gives me goosebumps. Pulitzer, Nobel Prize? They can have all that and Shakespeare on top and I wouldn't give a damn. But One Piece? No comparison.
This is nice, thanks for this video! It's always so entertaining to see a new reader fall in love with One Piece. You've spoken about very interesting reasons why people love this story and it was very great to hear them. I'm hoping for more One Piece related videos, but no pressure :) P. S. There's no such thing as talking/ rambling too much about One Piece imo
i been reading this manga since east blue its been i great childhood👌 im just hoping the goat gets to finish the longest single writer story in history
We shanghai'd another one into the Grand Fleet, boys! Your channel randomly showed up in my recommendeds, I like your style! Get in touch with Tekking101 and Grand Line Review, those guys would be great to make a video with sometime.
You are a great dude! I'll sub :) Great video too! Also talking about small things; I love your little simple stupid joke at the beginning that you are the only TH-cam channel. Most people would probably think it's a stupid simple joke and not creative. But as you said in the video. Small things to laugh at makes up the whole. It's amazing how small things actually can matter
honestly I don't get why people would judge a story by length. you don't have any obligations or to put up commitment to read, readers are free. the only one that have obligation and commitment is the author
Just want to say, that this is like the third time I have seen this video!!! You have advanced like 350 chapters and, I that is waiting chapter 1068 have only advanced like 4 chapter!!!! Dude!!!! This is soooo hard!!! But it worths it!!! Dude!!! Keep going and enjoy the trip!!
People are always skeptical to start one piece due to its length (reasonably so) but what I always tell people is think about your favorite show/anime. How much would you give to have that favorite show be longer. So why is it so bad that its long if you give it a chance and end up loving it like I do you wont want it to ever end. And if you don't want to stick around for 1000 episodes whos saying you have to finish it.
I love one piece so much. I used to say i would never watch it because the 4kids dub totally ruined any interest i had for it at the time. Now, when a favorite character of mine died i was crying full on hot, fat, tears ive only ever cried for family and loved ones. The straw hats are a irreplaceable part of my life now.
Life makes actual sense to me thanks to Luffy, and a bunch of other shonen/seinen/shojo protagonists (perhaps even Steven Universe himself) I've encountered since falling in love with something (One Piece) like never before - back 13 1/2 years ago at the age of 17 upon watching Luffy's one indescribable Jet Gatling Gun mow down Rob Lucci in the anime - only for Usopp & Robin to have the same braincell as they called out to him in that very moment. My life has never been the same all thanks to him, Isaac Netero, and Frog from Little Bear (or, my sister. I am literally not making those other two up, tho. Everyone who's anybody or any thing should learn meditation)
honestly what the one piece is still isn’t important at chapter 1070 😭 like yes it’s getting there, it’s the biggest mystery and plot point. but the story doesn’t obsess over it and jeopardise story telling for it
i`ve been reading one piece since 2002 (which is when it launched in my country) i was about to turn 13 you have no idea how many times i heard shit about one piece just because of the art style, so many people missed and are missing out just because of stupid things like this
It is!! It works surprisingly well haha. Although I messed up making my new video by not muting the video volume in editing which made it echoey-just in case you plan on using your phone as a mic too!
So pretty much the scoff of One Piece. Is quantity of keeping up with the crowd and FOMO. That’s stupid. For 1 that’s a new manga/anime type dare I say follower. 2. And people invested simply to fit in but bearing no interest in the real work available. 3. ADHD like, short attention, quick fix weirdoes In general manga/anime is about taste not popularity. Real fans weren’t just hoping from series to series wishing their end. Like we actually appreciate and are sad when a conclusion is reached. That’s 1 is very disrespectful. The reason the Big 3 were the Big 3 were longevity an want of more content 2. The reason they made that y’all somehow think mangaka are just simply creating shorter stories. Well the Big 3 weren’t cancelled early. Those shorter series were cancelled not concluded, early into their development. That’s what y’all are praising. Majority of mangaka severely risk their own health to prolong their stories. They also plan as they also want their works to be like series such as Detective Conan, Grappler Baki, Jono Bizarres Adventure etc. Those are but a few of 1000’s of ongoing titles that reached over and or reaching to 1000 chapters. And are still anticipated.
@@jonahevarts I'm half serious though. I only picked up on it cos I am exactly that, Trappped in a man's body and it's an example of what some of us we do until we realise what is actualy up. For me it was a crossdressing wrestler on Smackdown VS Raw I made, then that combined with years of feeling "not sure what, somethings not quite correct with myself".
"You could read or watch a thousand other things"
Quality over quantity... One Piece is the greatest narrative of our generation, it's earned the acclaim.
THIS!
I'm not exaggerating when I say One Piece is peak human fiction.
Bro... You have to read other things to say this shit. It's because of weirdos like you that I even tried reading it.
The shit is not as great as you guys claim. Read more books, man. Shit ain't even close to "peak fiction".

One Piece is a mix of real world and anime lessons put together in a world with no limits only you're imagination.
Watching people fall in love with One Piece is the best. This series gets so much hate for such silly reasons 😢 . The Goat imo. Enjoy your journey!

Always a fun to see new one piece fans talking about one piece… I grew up with One piece… I started watching it in 2005.. I was 10yo…and I really love One piece!
I’m a simple guy I see someone who’s also benefited from starting the series I watch and like
Growing up I was one of those kids who would always shit on One Piece because I was big on Naruto and Bleach, also the 4kids version left a bad impression on me. I decided to give it a try in 2020 and I’m glad I did as an adult because I probably wouldn’t truly understand some of themes that took place. I started the anime a episode a day and then by the time I got the Nami’s backstory I fell in love with the series. As the series went on I kept falling more in love with and before I knew it 3 months later I caught up to the anime and then the manga. I didn’t realize how how invested I was in the characters and the world building. It’s definitely now my favorite of the big 3 and some of the best if piece of fiction I’ve ever read or watched.
I have experienced the same things as an adult now I rarely get a breather to stop for moments that used to be the most important for me but now I feel like by going with adventures with my nakama although vicariously has me appreciate life more
One Piece has changed my life too, the story make me view the world from other perspective.I follow the story from Middle Schooler until now i'm 31 years old, still the best manga for me
I was born in 98 so basically the manga is older than me lmao, and thinking back on it i can say ive been watching one piece almost since the very beginning, since i saw one piece (and naruto, dbz, fma and others) for the very first time when i was like 5 years old on tv. Later on when i was like 11 or 12 and learned about internet pages where i could watch any anime the first one i looked for was obviously one piece. I remember it was around 400 episodes long thinking "damn thats long" but i was happy about it since i knew from the little i had seen as a child that i was going to like story and oh boy has it been a ride ever since, i will never regret having started one piece so early one
No need to apologize, and I'm glad you enjoyed One Piece and that One Piece helped you enjoy your life more Jonah!!
Respect boi, you earn my sub. either way the way you described op as a whole was just fantastic just as I would say it also the point of you adding "Luffy's character development" is a unique and I have never seen that with any other channel. Keep it up boi 👍
This account definitely deserves more subscribers
One piece is honestly amaizing and one of my biggest inspirations
I can understand how OP could bring us back to our childhood, but I contend that it hits just as hard as an adult. I read the Harry Potter when it first came out; I was in my 40s but just couldn't go beyond Book 1. I knew I had past the age the book is good for. The same goes with Lord of the Rings even though I'd loved it as a kid. I'm just way too cynical as an adult; the same goes for the classics like Dickens, Kipling, Dumas, Robertson, most of whom I now found to be pompous, boring, if not downright racist. One Piece on the other hand, while I wish I could have read that when I was 14, but in the 20+ years I've been reading that in 3 languages, I never once felt I was beyond the target age. I could not get cynical with this story! I'm certain it'll continue to pummel me each time when I re-read it into my 90s, a 100 even if I'm still alive. Just thinking all new stories based on incidental characters after the main story concludes, by fans or in canon, they could be doing the next 100 years gives me goosebumps. Pulitzer, Nobel Prize? They can have all that and Shakespeare on top and I wouldn't give a damn. But One Piece? No comparison.

This is nice, thanks for this video! It's always so entertaining to see a new reader fall in love with One Piece. You've spoken about very interesting reasons why people love this story and it was very great to hear them.
I'm hoping for more One Piece related videos, but no pressure :)
P. S. There's no such thing as talking/ rambling too much about One Piece imo
1000% will be making more One Piece videos!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it(:
i been reading this manga since east blue its been i great childhood👌 im just hoping the goat gets to finish the longest single writer story in history
One Piece is AWESOME
Hell yeah it is!
We can feel your joy because we share it!! I've been watching the anime weekly the last 15 years!! Do some arc reviews mate! We will love it! ;)
Welcome to the crew. Enjoy your journey.
You get it.
it’s nice seeing open minded people enjoying one piece
I mean this story really is just great it’s my favorite anime and show and story
The video I relate to most on the whole internet. Got a subscriber forever! :)
Welcome to the crew, nakama.
We shanghai'd another one into the Grand Fleet, boys!
Your channel randomly showed up in my recommendeds, I like your style! Get in touch with Tekking101 and Grand Line Review, those guys would be great to make a video with sometime.
omg i would love to make a video with those guys! maybe one day my platform will be big enough for something like that haha
respectfully….i could listen to u talk about one piece for a few more hours. goda🙏
In other words, One Piece will drag you into their teaching. I also fell victim to The Grand Line...
You are a great dude! I'll sub :) Great video too! Also talking about small things; I love your little simple stupid joke at the beginning that you are the only TH-cam channel. Most people would probably think it's a stupid simple joke and not creative. But as you said in the video. Small things to laugh at makes up the whole. It's amazing how small things actually can matter
This is a great video man. So cool to hear your expereince with the story.
thanks man!! i appreciate it big time
honestly I don't get why people would judge a story by length. you don't have any obligations or to put up commitment to read, readers are free.
the only one that have obligation and commitment is the author
Welcome Nakama. We are all in for a wild ride
Never thought any fictional story can affect me so much
One piece truly changed my life❤
Just want to say, that this is like the third time I have seen this video!!!
You have advanced like 350 chapters and, I that is waiting chapter 1068 have only advanced like 4 chapter!!!! Dude!!!! This is soooo hard!!! But it worths it!!!
Dude!!! Keep going and enjoy the trip!!
I’m so excited to catch up with everyone!! It’s been such an incredible journey🥲🥲
Hahaha! Welcome to the crew NAKAMA!
I’m still waiting for them to release one piece Kai. Anime. #CutTheFiller.
One piece is the greatest work of fiction to exist in our modern age, Eiichiro Oda should be a household name
awesome video. subbed!
The trepidation to start this serious. How must have Oda felt when he conceived his story and the desire to tell it?
One Piece is peak.
I do love me some unconditional one piece love
People are always skeptical to start one piece due to its length (reasonably so) but what I always tell people is think about your favorite show/anime. How much would you give to have that favorite show be longer. So why is it so bad that its long if you give it a chance and end up loving it like I do you wont want it to ever end. And if you don't want to stick around for 1000 episodes whos saying you have to finish it.
Side note you are in for a ride post time skip the show gets sooo good youll love it.
realy cool vid would love to see ur opinion on mairimashita iruma-kun
Home boy just finished the war of the best and got philosophical.
😂
Shut up Lets Gooooooo!
I love one piece so much. I used to say i would never watch it because the 4kids dub totally ruined any interest i had for it at the time. Now, when a favorite character of mine died i was crying full on hot, fat, tears ive only ever cried for family and loved ones. The straw hats are a irreplaceable part of my life now.
I cant wait you reach wano arc. Its anbeliveble good.
I’m so excited!! I just started reading the Fishman Island arc and I am so hype haha
Life makes actual sense to me thanks to Luffy, and a bunch of other shonen/seinen/shojo protagonists (perhaps even Steven Universe himself) I've encountered since falling in love with something (One Piece) like never before - back 13 1/2 years ago at the age of 17 upon watching Luffy's one indescribable Jet Gatling Gun mow down Rob Lucci in the anime - only for Usopp & Robin to have the same braincell as they called out to him in that very moment. My life has never been the same all thanks to him, Isaac Netero, and Frog from Little Bear (or, my sister. I am literally not making those other two up, tho. Everyone who's anybody or any thing should learn meditation)
12:18, oh boy, does it goes deeper...
Great video
Thank you!!(:
honestly what the one piece is still isn’t important at chapter 1070 😭 like yes it’s getting there, it’s the biggest mystery and plot point. but the story doesn’t obsess over it and jeopardise story telling for it
It’s ingenious storytelling!!
hell yeah
Sameee
I scroll, I see One Piece, I subscribe… I’m a simple man.
Welcome to the channel my friend!
nice video bro 😄
Thanks!!
Good
the most hyperbolic video ever made
Nice
"Maybe it's a stretch"? Oh, it indeed is, a stretch.
i just love u, and, lets play for luffy
Where do you read one piece manga??
I read it on the Viz app! It’s only $2.99 a month
One piece cured my cancer
i`ve been reading one piece since 2002 (which is when it launched in my country) i was about to turn 13
you have no idea how many times i heard shit about one piece just because of the art style, so many people missed and are missing out just because of stupid things like this
Oneeee Peeeeaakkk 🔥
dream
Is this audio actually from your phone?
It is!! It works surprisingly well haha. Although I messed up making my new video by not muting the video volume in editing which made it echoey-just in case you plan on using your phone as a mic too!
@@jonahevarts you just recording into voice memos? I’m just so surprised it sounds that good
@@Midnight93933 yep! its crazy how good it turns out haha
Can I get a shout out for being your 900th subscriber?
Absolutely!!
And thanks for subbing!!’🙏🏻😁
So pretty much the scoff of One Piece. Is quantity of keeping up with the crowd and FOMO. That’s stupid. For 1 that’s a new manga/anime type dare I say follower. 2. And people invested simply to fit in but bearing no interest in the real work available. 3. ADHD like, short attention, quick fix weirdoes
In general manga/anime is about taste not popularity. Real fans weren’t just hoping from series to series wishing their end. Like we actually appreciate and are sad when a conclusion is reached.
That’s 1 is very disrespectful. The reason the Big 3 were the Big 3 were longevity an want of more content 2. The reason they made that y’all somehow think mangaka are just simply creating shorter stories. Well the Big 3 weren’t cancelled early. Those shorter series were cancelled not concluded, early into their development. That’s what y’all are praising.
Majority of mangaka severely risk their own health to prolong their stories. They also plan as they also want their works to be like series such as Detective Conan, Grappler Baki, Jono Bizarres Adventure etc. Those are but a few of 1000’s of ongoing titles that reached over and or reaching to 1000 chapters. And are still anticipated.
2:43 You fancy being honest with yourself? Are you actually a woman trapped in a man's body?
Lmaooo
@@jonahevarts I'm half serious though. I only picked up on it cos I am exactly that, Trappped in a man's body and it's an example of what some of us we do until we realise what is actualy up. For me it was a crossdressing wrestler on Smackdown VS Raw I made, then that combined with years of feeling "not sure what, somethings not quite correct with myself".
