Some people just find it hard to see other people happy.They insult someone just because they watch Japanese animation, play games, watch vtubers and come to Comicon
It really did make me wonder and question my own life, I mean how did I watch over a 100 episodes of an Anime just to realize I just wasted like 2 weeks of my life on One Piece.
This is what I would do I would wait to watch it till I needed luffy again I still do that he is my family the whole crew is I grew up in Naruto and thought one piece looked lame then when I was 12 I finished Naruto caught up to the dub and watched bleach and inuyasha so I gave one piece a try and fell in love he is the only one I still relate too and have always loved its the only one I finished completely
Show made me recognize how beautiful life can be when I was going through depression. The appreciation I have for this series is nuts. I personally think it is the best story I’ve ever encountered, and I read/watch a lot of stories. When I was at my lowest, this show presented me with an amazing piece of artwork that inspired and motivated me in its messaging.
Obviously there isn’t a clear-cut answer to what the best story/manga/comic/movie/TV series/video game/etc. is, but man… regardless of what people have to say about it, One Piece is really something else (in a good way)
My dad died when I was 10 and when I started to watch one piece a couple months later and saw Dr. Hiriluk give his speech about dreams it hit me hard. That’s when I realized that it isn’t just a show anymore
im very similar!! my mom died when i was nine, i started watching one piece very recently and finding myself getting emotional over almost every heartfelt scene, it was like a wakeup call for me
Stand proud brother, for you stood strong through hell itself and found that there was grass on the other side. This story was beautiful, in sorry what happened to you happened but as I see it, you became a stronger person and that is a wonderful transformation. Take these interests/love for these worlds in anime and shows and allow them to bring you a new perspectives and wonderful fun. I myself can relate for what I do is draw characters within some worlds or hell, even just think of them. I love making stories and storyboarding ideas together along with world crafting. It will be a joy I continue to cherish and I hope anime will continue to hold a strong sentiment to you and impact you in a positive way! ❤
I started about the same time you did, mid September 2023. I can't say One Piece saved me from a dark place or anything but the way it consumed my life for 3.5 months and still captivates me every Saturday night is unlike anything I've ever experienced. It's my first anime and boy I'm glad I picked this one. Ever since I started playing video games, over 15 years ago, I had never gone a full week without playing them unless I was on vacation somewhere. During Marineford, I had such a hard time putting my phone down that when I looked up and realized it had been 6 days since I even turned on my Xbox, I was shocked. And yet, I didn't care. So I went one more day. It's crazy, it's like nothing else is even worth watching anymore. I remember how good Across the Spiderverse was, and how sad I was that it was over and I had to wait another 3-4 years to continue the story or wait several months to watch it again. And now, even though it's been out on streaming services, I still haven't watched it and I'm not sure if I even will any time soon. I watched Jujutsu Kaisen though. Just saw one too many manga spoilers which killed my motivation to finish it. But yeah, One Piece absolutely changed my life and I just can't believe the story I've been waiting for all my life is a story with over 1000 episodes of a group of friends sailing around fighting bad guys. So simple, and yet, it's everything I've ever wanted and everything I'll ever need in terms of storytelling
I started around the same time also. One piece is honestly not just a journey for the characters but a journey of us with them. They feel like our best friends. We learn every little part of there personality and feel what they feel alongside them. Its a story that isn't just good but alive. I can't name another show or story that's been able to ever do that. Im still far from current (episode 373 as of writing this which is about the end of thriller bark) and I love this show so much.... I have a lot more to watch but at the same time Im glad cause it means more time with these amazing friends I've been with.
@@JamescraftAim bruh you have no idea 😭 Thrillerbark is the last arc until all hell breaks loose. You'll know it when you see it. Come back to this thread after I wanna see your reaction lol
SAME SAME.... ONE PIECE saved me from a very dark path... I can't Thank Oda and Japan in general, enough..... The haters dont know what they are missing...
I teared up bro. Thank you for reminding me. That episode 52 is deep. I didn't think about it that much but when you explained that scene, it hit me. So thank you very much. Much love from an anime fan.
I've been a one piece fan my entire life. I just had a terrible exam in acting. Like a few hours ago. I thought my life was over, and I was just generally being to hard on myself. Thanks for this video!!! It really helped reminding me of one of my favourite shows and the philosophy behind it in which I wholeheartedly believe. Everyone needs a luffy ❤
Yes one piece changed my life too , i was always depressed and frustrated with my life but after watching one piece i felt wat true happiness is . No matter how sad i am just looking at luffy makes me forget everything and makes me smile..
Damn this deserves way more views bro. A great message and story and I’m so glad you’re doing good and that my favorite show was able to do this for you. Hope the best for you and love the videos it was very well made.
I moved to Japan 12 years ago but never really got into anime as crazy as that sounds... I used to hate on One Piece because it was everywhere. Last year, a few of my friends started playing the card game, and it was actually really fun. I told my wife maybe we should try watching the anime, so we did, and we were hooked! It changed my outlook on life too, and definitely helped how I see things. It also opened me up to watching other anime like Demon Slayer, and now I feel like holy crap I have been missing out on all these good shows lol.
"... it's just a cartoon made in a different country, with a little more depth to it." Thank you! Been saying that for years! Which is why One Piece is phenomenal... from the jump it embraces all it's roots as a cartoon.
I can relate to this, I started watching one piece around 2 years and 2 months ago when i was turning 12 in 2022, and that time i had a abusive father which got him to force me to stop watching one piece through his words and physical abuse...until i reached 2023 when i started my high school year and the at the time my mom and my father finally divorced so i didn't have to ever talk or see my father again...but at the time i went through puberty and gained depression...anxiety...suicidal thoughts...trauma...and regretting crap i did during my primary school years...at the time i didn't have much to do during my spare time...and i left one piece at the beginning of Arlong park...so i started at Arlong park and from then all the way to Wano arc at the time before the gear 5 episodes came out...and during the time my favorite moment even until now was robin "I want to live: moment because from Arlong park till then i already felt like i was actually witnessing the events in one piece happen like as if i am there...and also the time i first saw the robin "I want to live" moment i felt like it was the anime telling me to continue living since i could never know what huge positive thing or change in my life happen if i commit suicide...Which made me cry of Joy...and one piece was the reason why i have gained my smile...If i never watched one piece i wouldn't be alive right now...
one piece saved my life man. amazing video. i was in 6th or 7th grade n couldn’t stand my life every day was a perpetual cycle of depression and anxiety. but one piece always made me laugh, always made me smile. i had that same eureka moment as you, looking at my life from a different angle. i figured if we just live to die and never know when death is lurking around the corner, then why stress? why worry? life is going to carry on, so i made myself into the best person i could be every day. so then at the very least i could make others happy like luffy. he was my only role model i had as a kid. i am so happy i started watching the show. i used to think i wouldn’t live past 18, but i’m 21 now n every day i am just happy to wake up. i read a post today and to sum it up: yes all of those bad experiences happened but i lived through it, to see better days. my future self, me today, looks back onto my younger self with such compassion and yearning to help. me today thanks my younger self for genuinely giving myself a chance to try at life.
One Piece has also helped me, almost every time I think Ive done something that I really shouldn't have I think back to when Ace and Loofy made there promise never to have any regrets in there life and I try to do the same.
I'm sorry that you had to go through your parents getting divorced so late in your life bro. Mine got divorced when I was 7, and I was obviously very sad about it, but on top of that my life wasn't very stressful since I was just in 2nd grade. I can't imagine that mixed with the stress of school and the stress of becoming an adult. One Piece has also changed my outlook on life as well, and I'm glad it had this big impact on all of us.
I had a terrible fear of death but same as you when seeing Luffy smile in what he thought was his last moment I realized that I can't you through life being afraid of when and how I'm going to die. I have now been focused more on the positive things I have going for me and the future in my head looks brighter as opposed to seeing only a few feet and then darkness. I started watching One Piece right after I gave the live action a shot last year. Got my girl hooked too.
Started around January 2024 it was a few days after new year's, and I had just been feeling very alone in life and felt I needed to start something that I could do to distract myself. So, I picked up one piece thinking I had a ton of time since it was still Christmas break, and I could always stop it if I felt bored and just quit and try something else. I had already watched some anime before, so it wasn't new to me either. I started the series and immediately felt connected to each of the characters. People hate on one piece because it's so long, but that is one of the greatest things about the show. Oda takes a lot of time developing his characters, and now, I'm well into Wano at episode 928 haha. It's only been about 8 months as well. I guess that just goes to show how much I love this show. I mean no other show, movie, or book has made me cry as much as this one. I love this show and this crew I've been adventuring with for these past 8 months, and I'm definitely in a better place than I was. Glad you started this show man have a good day to anyone reading this! (there was no need to type this, but its midnight and I have nothing to do lol and I've already watched like 10 episodes 💀)
I've watched lots of anime but One piece just hits me right in the heart with the greatest happiness I've had in a long time. I always feel like I gotta act like luffy, and just get through things no matter what.
One Piece & HxH are the 2 anime that had impacted me the most out of any Anime I have ever seen and I've seen almost 300 different animes/manga both long and short and nothing compares to how One Piece & HxH changed how I think about life and the range of emotions I felt in both of these shows and sad HxH probably never end and One Piece is just not long enough and don't want it to end
I lost someone I called Nakama. I miss him so much he’s the person who set me down this path of anime , I watch One Piece for both of us, to be alive as it is happening it a treasure. I was having intrusive thoughts about not being good enough One Piece was there, Luffy’s struggles against monsters of his world gave me hope for myself. Welcome aboard.
I grew up watching anime, from DBZ to Naruto, Bleach, and many more animes that I couldn't do the math and there came a point where everything became repetitive and boring, but when I started watching One Piece (2010) my perspective changed completely, now I feel that it is very difficult to find a manga/anime that surpasses it
Even though I’m not done With one piece yet. This show has given me freedom and relaxation. It’s sucha calm show. When I’m stressed or in a bad situation. One piece is always the best show for me. It is a series of friendship, emotion and challenges. One piece is truly the best tv show/anime in the world imo
I love when I see videos like these, one piece genuinely changed my life and I will always be grateful for it and I’m glad to see others who shared a similar experience and it reminds me on why I love this series
same man. same. the live action, which I loved, made me start the anime. I'll forever remember the moment when my life changed. and I'm now seeing it had the same effect on others. beautifully said, thank you. lets keep sailing
You just made me cry One piece also changed my life and i feel like I’m free now that I’ve watched it for some reason. I never was a happy kid, i never really smiled until i watched one piece. When i saw luffy smiling like that i wanted to be happy and smile like him. I didn’t have good hygiene and my teeth were all crooked. I brushed and brushed my teeth more often then I ever did and I would practice my smile in the mirror, finally on school picture day I stood tall and looked at the camera and smiled with my full my face. I even went the extra mile and put my hands on my hips like luffy 😂
Bro I can't tell you enough how much I relate to your feelings of how one piece changed my life. Not in the same way but around the time i got to sabaody archipelago my relationship with my girlfriend was getting rocky and I could tell things weren't gonna end well. Around when we broke up I watched the episode where ace died but it was so much going on at once I didn't shed a single tear until jimbei was trying to set luffy straight after his violent outburst by asking him what he had and as he started to tear up and list his friends' names I too started to tear up and eventually bawl my eyes out. Because sure I did break up with my girlfriend of almost 2 years just recently but watched one of the saddest anime deaths around the same time and yet, like luffy, I needed to remember what I had. My friends. One piece has helped me more than anything arguably and now I'm caught up with the manga while also in a much healthier, much happier relationship with the love of my life. This series has taught me so many lessons and so many values, but the most important one is to live life to it's fullest and never give up on my dreams.
I started watching One Piece shortly before you started watching it too! I'm currently in the middle of Dressrosa and I can personally relate heavily to how difficult it is to make it sound plausible that it's a great anime to people who think it's garbage when it really is not (they probably just haven't ever watched anime). It's a truly amazing, iconic and an icon for the genre overall. I still have an incredibly eclectic amount of anime's that I really want to watch but only not until I finish One Piece in more than a year in the future lmao.
Bro I started with the same shown in the same way and one piece did a very similar thing for me and the way I was able to deal with hardships. Thank you for sharing
literally feel this so intensely. I too found one piece right as everything in my life hit the fan. i grew up watchin anime, back when no one knew what it was- unless you stayed up till 3am. and I remember watching one piece when it aired for the first time and thinking, nahhhh I don't like the art. But 2 decades later I found it right as a best friend left, I had to leave my job of 8 years only to take on a new job that is like 12 hours a day, my dad died, my basement keeps flooding, my health is tanking, and now i'm leaving a second job.... but luffy making me laugh has kept me floating. it gets better. the best is yet to come. *puts foot on barrel, *clinks glass
One piece really taught me to enjoy the goofiness and enjoy more things... I did not like a lot of things because it looked weird or it's not my style but now I watch all that's weird and I found a lot of new music, games and movies that way wich now are my favourites of all time
The funny thing about one piece is that the amount of episodes scares a lot away. But after that first episode, after the first few arcs, you start to understand why the company continued producing such a show. More and more it tops itself making even some weaker arcs a blast to watch. Its (to my knowledge) the only show that was given a shot to become a modern epic. There probably will never be another show like One Piece. Im currently only on episode 373 or almost finished Thriller Bark and I still gotta lot to go but Ive loved and will most likely continue to love every moment in it. Ive spent so much time with these characters that they feel real. They're like my best friends that aren't there. Best of lucks in your future.
i also used to get "bullied" for watching anime being a loser and being weak than i picked up one piece saying why not ive got plenty of time on my day and while watching it hit me that if they can stay commited to there dreams even on the verge of death why couldnt I stay commited to it right now so ever since than i turned my life around started working out started being more social everything and i still tune in for a new episode every now and than i truly cant describe how much it has done for me with everything in my life thank you oda thank you one piece
I turned 18 now. I am very thankful about your words.✨️ I am so proud to be a part of this great story and happy to meet new people that also enjoy this peace of fiction, this Masterpiece and talk about what Oda is planning for the future. For the future where Monkey D Luffy and his crew, his family will achieve there goals and dreams. Have a nice day and take care about yourself.🌻 We all have the same goal in our live dont we❓️
I totally agree with you bro I feel a sort of connection to these characters in a way and even though I just started dressrosa I can watch the show with no anxiety or problems and just be happy in the moment
You earned a subscriber, one piece changed my life too, depressed and suicidal kid into a man taking everything with a smile I mean like not a fake smile , it’s deep down our heart says it’s okay to smile , happiness is within you , you just have to fight for it and take it and spread it, luffy a fictional character did so much impact on my life, I haven’t been sad after that , taking it like it’s a part of life , if I see luffy irl , I’d cry and hugging him and thanking him for saving me exactly like the girl from garden of words did , luffy and oda thank you for everything you guys made me happy , and luffy I was rooting for you to become the king of the pirates, my captain forever
I was lucky to have a friend that was into anime, and eventually i tried naruto because of him, I'm really lucky i did because on shorts i discovered one piece because of king chris. That same friend gave me his funimation login and now i got supportive friends that dont mind my anime obsession lol. My b for sharing my story but basically I'm very proud of you getting into one piece its such a life changing journey, hope things get better in your life man :)
Everybody has its ups and downs, but I am happy to see how One piece can help anyone with their problems feels good to hear your story abt how crucial One piece is in your life,,, Greetings from mexico!!
best friend moved away the summer of 2022 and i felt so completely lost starting school in september, gave one piece a chance and it filled that void completely
I definitely agree I grew up in the era of the big 3 and it’s a very different time I am proud to be part of that generation! I recommend to try reading Naruto it gives you a while different perspective!
I was 28 when I started watching one piece during the pandemic. When Nico robin screamed “I want to live” I cried so hard. Never would have guessed at this age a cartoon would give me these emotions. Thanks oda 🙌🏾
Right now one piece is the only thing that keeps me alive, im struggling with depression for over 4years now and one piece is the only thing that I'm waiting and looking forward to every week. For those 4years one piece was with me and it made me smile every time i watched new episode it really does make my days better and somehow worth to live trough, i also realized a lot of things about myself and my life because of one piece. Im just hoping that when the one piece ends i will finally have a purpose in life and something other to live for. One piece is truly a masterpiece and im so greatfull that i decided to watch it its kinda silly but i probably wouldn't be commenting this rn if i never got the motivation to watch it.
Just after I started watching One Piece my manager started making my life hell and this is a job that I love doing. Watching One Piece before work and seeing how resilient the straw hat crew was, Luffy in particular, even when things seem impossible gave me the strength to endure that hell until she finally got canned for her behavior. It was rough as hell but I'm a stronger person now because of it, instead of being bitter or resentful I look at how Luffy would.
I started watching One Piece in August too in the beginning of my Senior Year of High school, and I’m now caught up. Now off to Japan for College, looking back that year was the hardest year of my life, but One Piece was always there. It got me through that dark year in my life and I’m so glad I started this amazing show. I’m happy to share this same experience with many others.
@@lightningjadejavier frankly yes One Piece helps me with my anxiety and motivation issues. It can be the best part of my week sometimes when things are going great
real bro for no reason i just didnt wanna watch it and thought it was weird but ive been watching it for a week and im almost on 400, and i have a lot of personal stuff also going on too and one piece is just awesome ngl
im a BIG one piece fan and its been my number one supporter fr tho and ive been lacking on watching one piece bc im bout to watch dressrosa and i didnt want to watch ALL of that. but u just motivated me to watch one piece more thanks homie. live love laugh and cry because of lifes beautiful moments
Cant emphasize how relatable this is dude, congrats. Keep pushing to achieve what you want to achieve in life, even if you have no idea what that may be.
The reason why i love One Piece is during school i spent most of my time i spent my time with “friends” who didn’t care about me i was always the silent one in the group that got often ignored around the end through connections I found people that also enjoy one piece and now i have friends who I trust and don’t ignore me and because of these new friends i also became more religious because of those friends and also my grades improved so because of One Piece my life in school improved drastically
Young man, that was beautiful 😁 You experienced true growth that will form the rest of your life. One Piece may have helped, but it takes wisdom to understand that you're not in control of everything, and that's ok. We just need to do the best we can... with a DON!
ep 6 of one piece is what hooked me. i thought abt dropping it because everything abt onepiece is what i hate abt a show the most. I don't like watching something that's ongoing, i hate watching something that is so long, i prefer watching shoujo animes for the romance and from what I've heard there is no romance in the series, and i hate watching something that looks ugly (artstyle). but then when i reached chouchou's backstory, it really touched my heart. everyone around me knows that I'm an aloof and cold person. they thought i was emotionless, but this show had made me feel like I'm riding a rollercoaster of emotions. it's one of the best decisions in my life.
all i can say is, this is the greatest show ever, thousands of episodes yes but the journey and the never ending story is sooo fkn good!!. im glad to hear this anime helped u out alot man.🙏
One Piece changed my life as well. I had diarrhea but because I kept rewatching One Piece episodes I had my butt tight and eventually got to constipation. It saved my life bro. Now I do not have to go take a dumb every 5 minutes.
Bro, the same thing happened to me. My parents got divorced last year and I was really sad but I just tried to keep a smile in school since I didn’t want people to know but then my brother convinced me to watch it. My friends also clowned on me for watching which just made me more sad. didn’t think I would like it or even finish it but, then I got hooked on the show. And now a year later I’m done. hope you are alright now. It’s very hard to go through.
No bro you just earned a sub straight off the bat. Your wording is so deep, meaningful, and genuine. It’s like you’re talking in front of me. Sky high and remember me when you’re famous. I love one piece too btw XD
love your vid. As a long time One Piece fan (its my number 1 fav show), i understand you completely. Its impossible to even explain to ppl who havent seen it how good it is ❤️ Its changed my life for the better. I am certain some aspects of my personality and demeanour i gained from Luffy and a smaller extent Zoro.
I started watching One Piece and my sibling keeps saying I won't finish it (manga and anime). I feel as if i'm at a low point in my life, so I watch One Piece to actually commit to something. I dunno, it feel like it's making my anxiety way better since Luffy always seemed to never care of what others think, that kinda inspired me ig
That is so sweet😭 it makes me happy to know that sometimes anime or fictional characters from anime make people genuinely happy. I'm sorry your parents divorced, I'm glad you're doing good now, though! That was a wonderful story.
I was born with damaged lungs, chronic cough and partial functioning pancreas. I was a shy, out of place kid wondering if I would live long enough all the time as doctor's stated my life may not sustain long. I was 14 when I found One Piece it changed me from deep inside and taught ne what freedom truly is. I cried at several moments in the anime and not at emotional but the happy parties at the end of every arc because it gave me joy that I can experience something so awesome in my short lifespan
good video, its crazy to hear you talk about anime like its the craziest thing to ever exist, but it sure is the most entertaining type of things to watch
Let me tell you, One Piece is one of those anime's that will just stick with you for your whole life. Luffy is such an inspiration. Infact I wrote a whole slide show about The great life lessons in it. It also brought me closer with my sister. We have never been that close, But after watching the live action she got hooked on the anime. Now everyday when I come home from work, I get to see and experience the excitement with her as we continue watching.
For me I started one piece at the age of 10. I’m completely know where you’re coming from. I stride to be like luffy, always keeping a smile on my face and being the hope for someone when they’re having a bad day. When I lost my dad, every thing came to the end, but it was something about luffy smile and laugh that just keep helping push through, and no matter how much life gets hard you can always control how you react and handle it.
Very strong words. I find it remarkable how a show can have such a positive influence on you. I've been watching One Piece since I was 6 (I'm now 26) and it has always helped me through bad times. I love this Show and Oda so much. There should be more shows that convey such good values.
👏man👏 Great message, "I can't change these things". Just really well told, can't change certain things. So act within what you can change. And funny enough, then it happens we can change our own state. You definitely found one of the keys bro.
I appreciate you putting this out there. It’s hard to put something like this out without fear of embarrassment, and worrying about sounding “corny” but I promise you everything u said in this video I understood and took to heart. It’s crazy how the world works and the fact that a show that most people view as stupid can change your life is incredible.
I started one piece in 2020 after being so curious about Nami as a 15 year old obsessed with mha and tpn...fast forward now i have a cat named Nami and im on the timeskip finally :) 2020-2022 were the absolute roughest times of my life because of personal loss, depression, scdie attempts and my grades slipping n things at home. But watching one piece during those times really slowly absolutely helped. And during 2023 my interest in the show spiked after i lost interest in mha. In that year alone i got through 300 episodes. While being a graduating senior and college freshman. Crazy . The tears i have cried over Nami and Arlong Park, Chopper, Vivi, Robin and Franky and Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark bringing me to a stop because i was choking up over brooks crew💔💔 and marineford...my god. 😢 Now im on Fishman island watching an ep a day as i work for the summer and it makes me feel good. Im gojng at my own pace and i feel like such a different person to when i started one piece. I love it so much even though im slowly getting out of my anime obsession, it will always be with me and I'll keep watching until the end🙏
I couldn’t agree with you more. My parents got divorced a few years ago and I had the same feelings as you did. It made me devastated and I didn’t know what to do about it. Although you had a different situation with your journey in one piece, I fully agree with you. One Piece makes you feel many emotions and makes you feel as if you were part of the journey itself…though, in the same way you are. I started watching one piece in the beginning of this year…. all I will say is that was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Why I love one piece so much is because I used to have friends that judged me. Then, I met new friends later in life and the straw hats goofy crew reminded me of my true friends who would really accept me. ❤
That's crazy man, I've had such a similar experience that it's almost scary to hear your story. One Piece has definitely changedy life and my outlook on life in a big way as well
Thank you for sharing your story. Anime helped me during a rocky point in my childhood, specifically "the big 3" (Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach) They all had a huge positive impact on my life, and funny enough they continue to even in my current adulthood.
Damn bro 🥲 One Piece is so special. I’ve never known fiction to make me so happy to be alive and so eager to make the most of it. Be it productive or not. Have fun. Smile. And help those you care about do the same. If you suffer, you suffer. If you die, you die. But you get the choice to smile. Take care, nakama. Hope to see you around.
This was probably one of the best videos i have seen. I was also one of those anime haters but just taking a peek at One Piece,my whole life changed Great video keep it up and push through your problems A MAN'S DREAM NEVER DIES
One peice is just different, it has each and every emotion ever made..It makes you laugh, cry, smile, scream literally everything. It just heals you. It honestly makes me cry knowing it’s gonna end in 2025.
I went through something similar, my parents went through a divorce around 2020 and for a while I had this mindset that was like “I don’t need emotions” but One Piece had me crying and laughing and having emotions again.
I don't know how far you are yet, but one of my favorite lines from Luffy is at Fish-men Island. He gets asked if he's a bad man because he's a pirate. He thinks for a second and just says, "Hmmm, I don't know. You decide." And that mentality of letting your actions speak for who you are as a person is one of the reasons I love Luffy and One Piece so much.
SUBSCRIBE IF YOU LOVE ONE PIECE!
YEAH
Same, btw I don’t know why everyone hates on anime’s even though they’re really good
Some people just find it hard to see other people happy.They insult someone just because they watch Japanese animation, play games, watch vtubers and come to Comicon
2:10 "I might as well try it, because why not?" embodies One Piece so well and is a great take to have on life in general!
That's the exact same way I started one piece lol
No other shounen will make you wonder and think about your own life as crazy as One Piece.
EXACTLY!!!
Dont forget Naruto that shit will make u question your own life aswell
Untrue.
@@miklivestro4170nah it’s overrated
It really did make me wonder and question my own life,
I mean how did I watch over a 100 episodes of an Anime just to realize I just wasted like 2 weeks of my life on One Piece.
Been reading One Piece for 18 years of my life and every time I was down with depression.. One Piece was the only thing that kept me happy.
Weak.
@JoyBoylolollol 🤣🔥
This is what I would do I would wait to watch it till I needed luffy again I still do that he is my family the whole crew is I grew up in Naruto and thought one piece looked lame then when I was 12 I finished Naruto caught up to the dub and watched bleach and inuyasha so I gave one piece a try and fell in love he is the only one I still relate too and have always loved its the only one I finished completely
@@1sakura0girl1 because your childish just like luffy, grow up .💀 Your heart aint gonna start drumming.🚮
15 for me but same here. When all else failed I had one piece.
Show made me recognize how beautiful life can be when I was going through depression. The appreciation I have for this series is nuts. I personally think it is the best story I’ve ever encountered, and I read/watch a lot of stories. When I was at my lowest, this show presented me with an amazing piece of artwork that inspired and motivated me in its messaging.
Obviously there isn’t a clear-cut answer to what the best story/manga/comic/movie/TV series/video game/etc. is, but man… regardless of what people have to say about it, One Piece is really something else (in a good way)
No other show will have you emotionally invested in a one-legged toy or a boat.
Fr whenever I’m sad I can just watch one piece and it will almost always cheer me up in a way no other show has done for me
My dad died when I was 10 and when I started to watch one piece a couple months later and saw Dr. Hiriluk give his speech about dreams it hit me hard. That’s when I realized that it isn’t just a show anymore
It's like life.
That was the moment for me as well
im very similar!! my mom died when i was nine, i started watching one piece very recently and finding myself getting emotional over almost every heartfelt scene, it was like a wakeup call for me
same with my mom cheating on my dad for 10 years since I Was born no one knows other then me
Bro one piece = real life
You almost made me cry bro. I have a very similar story to yours and my perspective changed a lot after watching one piece.
Stand proud brother, for you stood strong through hell itself and found that there was grass on the other side. This story was beautiful, in sorry what happened to you happened but as I see it, you became a stronger person and that is a wonderful transformation. Take these interests/love for these worlds in anime and shows and allow them to bring you a new perspectives and wonderful fun. I myself can relate for what I do is draw characters within some worlds or hell, even just think of them. I love making stories and storyboarding ideas together along with world crafting. It will be a joy I continue to cherish and I hope anime will continue to hold a strong sentiment to you and impact you in a positive way! ❤
Nah man why'd you have to make me cry like that. I'm glad you're in a better place.
I started about the same time you did, mid September 2023. I can't say One Piece saved me from a dark place or anything but the way it consumed my life for 3.5 months and still captivates me every Saturday night is unlike anything I've ever experienced. It's my first anime and boy I'm glad I picked this one. Ever since I started playing video games, over 15 years ago, I had never gone a full week without playing them unless I was on vacation somewhere. During Marineford, I had such a hard time putting my phone down that when I looked up and realized it had been 6 days since I even turned on my Xbox, I was shocked. And yet, I didn't care. So I went one more day. It's crazy, it's like nothing else is even worth watching anymore. I remember how good Across the Spiderverse was, and how sad I was that it was over and I had to wait another 3-4 years to continue the story or wait several months to watch it again. And now, even though it's been out on streaming services, I still haven't watched it and I'm not sure if I even will any time soon. I watched Jujutsu Kaisen though. Just saw one too many manga spoilers which killed my motivation to finish it. But yeah, One Piece absolutely changed my life and I just can't believe the story I've been waiting for all my life is a story with over 1000 episodes of a group of friends sailing around fighting bad guys. So simple, and yet, it's everything I've ever wanted and everything I'll ever need in terms of storytelling
I started around the same time also. One piece is honestly not just a journey for the characters but a journey of us with them.
They feel like our best friends. We learn every little part of there personality and feel what they feel alongside them. Its a story that isn't just good but alive.
I can't name another show or story that's been able to ever do that.
Im still far from current (episode 373 as of writing this which is about the end of thriller bark) and I love this show so much.... I have a lot more to watch but at the same time Im glad cause it means more time with these amazing friends I've been with.
@@JamescraftAim bruh you have no idea 😭 Thrillerbark is the last arc until all hell breaks loose. You'll know it when you see it. Come back to this thread after I wanna see your reaction lol
@@vxrdaunt will do o7
This is exactly what I experienced watching this show! It for real is a lifechanger!
SAME SAME.... ONE PIECE saved me from a very dark path... I can't Thank Oda and Japan in general, enough..... The haters dont know what they are missing...
@JoyBoylolollol Joyboy....
FR
I teared up bro. Thank you for reminding me. That episode 52 is deep. I didn't think about it that much but when you explained that scene, it hit me. So thank you very much. Much love from an anime fan.
I've been a one piece fan my entire life.
I just had a terrible exam in acting.
Like a few hours ago.
I thought my life was over, and I was just generally being to hard on myself.
Thanks for this video!!!
It really helped reminding me of one of my favourite shows and the philosophy behind it in which I wholeheartedly believe.
Everyone needs a luffy ❤
Yes one piece changed my life too , i was always depressed and frustrated with my life but after watching one piece i felt wat true happiness is . No matter how sad i am just looking at luffy makes me forget everything and makes me smile..
Damn this deserves way more views bro. A great message and story and I’m so glad you’re doing good and that my favorite show was able to do this for you. Hope the best for you and love the videos it was very well made.
I moved to Japan 12 years ago but never really got into anime as crazy as that sounds... I used to hate on One Piece because it was everywhere. Last year, a few of my friends started playing the card game, and it was actually really fun. I told my wife maybe we should try watching the anime, so we did, and we were hooked! It changed my outlook on life too, and definitely helped how I see things. It also opened me up to watching other anime like Demon Slayer, and now I feel like holy crap I have been missing out on all these good shows lol.
"... it's just a cartoon made in a different country, with a little more depth to it."
Thank you! Been saying that for years! Which is why One Piece is phenomenal... from the jump it embraces all it's roots as a cartoon.
I can relate to this, I started watching one piece around 2 years and 2 months ago when i was turning 12 in 2022, and that time i had a abusive father which got him to force me to stop watching one piece through his words and physical abuse...until i reached 2023 when i started my high school year and the at the time my mom and my father finally divorced so i didn't have to ever talk or see my father again...but at the time i went through puberty and gained depression...anxiety...suicidal thoughts...trauma...and regretting crap i did during my primary school years...at the time i didn't have much to do during my spare time...and i left one piece at the beginning of Arlong park...so i started at Arlong park and from then all the way to Wano arc at the time before the gear 5 episodes came out...and during the time my favorite moment even until now was robin "I want to live: moment because from Arlong park till then i already felt like i was actually witnessing the events in one piece happen like as if i am there...and also the time i first saw the robin "I want to live" moment i felt like it was the anime telling me to continue living since i could never know what huge positive thing or change in my life happen if i commit suicide...Which made me cry of Joy...and one piece was the reason why i have gained my smile...If i never watched one piece i wouldn't be alive right now...
one piece saved my life man. amazing video. i was in 6th or 7th grade n couldn’t stand my life every day was a perpetual cycle of depression and anxiety. but one piece always made me laugh, always made me smile. i had that same eureka moment as you, looking at my life from a different angle. i figured if we just live to die and never know when death is lurking around the corner, then why stress? why worry? life is going to carry on, so i made myself into the best person i could be every day. so then at the very least i could make others happy like luffy. he was my only role model i had as a kid. i am so happy i started watching the show. i used to think i wouldn’t live past 18, but i’m 21 now n every day i am just happy to wake up. i read a post today and to sum it up: yes all of those bad experiences happened but i lived through it, to see better days. my future self, me today, looks back onto my younger self with such compassion and yearning to help. me today thanks my younger self for genuinely giving myself a chance to try at life.
One Piece has also helped me, almost every time I think Ive done something that I really shouldn't have I think back to when Ace and Loofy made there promise never to have any regrets in there life and I try to do the same.
I'm sorry that you had to go through your parents getting divorced so late in your life bro. Mine got divorced when I was 7, and I was obviously very sad about it, but on top of that my life wasn't very stressful since I was just in 2nd grade. I can't imagine that mixed with the stress of school and the stress of becoming an adult. One Piece has also changed my outlook on life as well, and I'm glad it had this big impact on all of us.
I had a terrible fear of death but same as you when seeing Luffy smile in what he thought was his last moment I realized that I can't you through life being afraid of when and how I'm going to die. I have now been focused more on the positive things I have going for me and the future in my head looks brighter as opposed to seeing only a few feet and then darkness. I started watching One Piece right after I gave the live action a shot last year. Got my girl hooked too.
Watching one piece was like a wonderful dream you don't wanna wake up after 😢
One piece helped me through a hard time. It gave me so many good moments that i’ll Never forget. THANK YOU ODA
Started around January 2024 it was a few days after new year's, and I had just been feeling very alone in life and felt I needed to start something that I could do to distract myself. So, I picked up one piece thinking I had a ton of time since it was still Christmas break, and I could always stop it if I felt bored and just quit and try something else. I had already watched some anime before, so it wasn't new to me either. I started the series and immediately felt connected to each of the characters. People hate on one piece because it's so long, but that is one of the greatest things about the show. Oda takes a lot of time developing his characters, and now, I'm well into Wano at episode 928 haha. It's only been about 8 months as well. I guess that just goes to show how much I love this show. I mean no other show, movie, or book has made me cry as much as this one. I love this show and this crew I've been adventuring with for these past 8 months, and I'm definitely in a better place than I was. Glad you started this show man have a good day to anyone reading this! (there was no need to type this, but its midnight and I have nothing to do lol and I've already watched like 10 episodes 💀)
I've watched lots of anime but One piece just hits me right in the heart with the greatest happiness I've had in a long time. I always feel like I gotta act like luffy, and just get through things no matter what.
One Piece & HxH are the 2 anime that had impacted me the most out of any Anime I have ever seen and I've seen almost 300 different animes/manga both long and short and nothing compares to how One Piece & HxH changed how I think about life and the range of emotions I felt in both of these shows and sad HxH probably never end and One Piece is just not long enough and don't want it to end
wow dude, this video litteraly gave me goosebumps.
I lost someone I called Nakama. I miss him so much he’s the person who set me down this path of anime , I watch One Piece for both of us, to be alive as it is happening it a treasure. I was having intrusive thoughts about not being good enough One Piece was there, Luffy’s struggles against monsters of his world gave me hope for myself. Welcome aboard.
I grew up watching anime, from DBZ to Naruto, Bleach, and many more animes that I couldn't do the math and there came a point where everything became repetitive and boring, but when I started watching One Piece (2010) my perspective changed completely, now I feel that it is very difficult to find a manga/anime that surpasses it
Even though I’m not done
With one piece yet. This show has given me freedom and relaxation. It’s sucha calm show. When I’m stressed or in a bad situation. One piece is always the best show for me. It is a series of friendship, emotion and challenges. One piece is truly the best tv show/anime in the world imo
I love when I see videos like these, one piece genuinely changed my life and I will always be grateful for it and I’m glad to see others who shared a similar experience and it reminds me on why I love this series
same man. same. the live action, which I loved, made me start the anime. I'll forever remember the moment when my life changed. and I'm now seeing it had the same effect on others. beautifully said, thank you. lets keep sailing
You just made me cry
One piece also changed my life and i feel like I’m free now that I’ve watched it for some reason.
I never was a happy kid, i never really smiled until i watched one piece.
When i saw luffy smiling like that i wanted to be happy and smile like him. I didn’t have good hygiene and my teeth were all crooked. I brushed and brushed my teeth more often then I ever did and I would practice my smile in the mirror, finally on school picture day I stood tall and looked at the camera and smiled with my full my face. I even went the extra mile and put my hands on my hips like luffy 😂
Bro I can't tell you enough how much I relate to your feelings of how one piece changed my life. Not in the same way but around the time i got to sabaody archipelago my relationship with my girlfriend was getting rocky and I could tell things weren't gonna end well. Around when we broke up I watched the episode where ace died but it was so much going on at once I didn't shed a single tear until jimbei was trying to set luffy straight after his violent outburst by asking him what he had and as he started to tear up and list his friends' names I too started to tear up and eventually bawl my eyes out. Because sure I did break up with my girlfriend of almost 2 years just recently but watched one of the saddest anime deaths around the same time and yet, like luffy, I needed to remember what I had. My friends. One piece has helped me more than anything arguably and now I'm caught up with the manga while also in a much healthier, much happier relationship with the love of my life. This series has taught me so many lessons and so many values, but the most important one is to live life to it's fullest and never give up on my dreams.
I started watching One Piece shortly before you started watching it too! I'm currently in the middle of Dressrosa and I can personally relate heavily to how difficult it is to make it sound plausible that it's a great anime to people who think it's garbage when it really is not (they probably just haven't ever watched anime). It's a truly amazing, iconic and an icon for the genre overall. I still have an incredibly eclectic amount of anime's that I really want to watch but only not until I finish One Piece in more than a year in the future lmao.
Bro I started with the same shown in the same way and one piece did a very similar thing for me and the way I was able to deal with hardships. Thank you for sharing
literally feel this so intensely. I too found one piece right as everything in my life hit the fan. i grew up watchin anime, back when no one knew what it was- unless you stayed up till 3am. and I remember watching one piece when it aired for the first time and thinking, nahhhh I don't like the art.
But 2 decades later I found it right as a best friend left, I had to leave my job of 8 years only to take on a new job that is like 12 hours a day, my dad died, my basement keeps flooding, my health is tanking, and now i'm leaving a second job....
but luffy making me laugh has kept me floating. it gets better. the best is yet to come.
*puts foot on barrel, *clinks glass
Same. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without One Piece❤
I’m just so glad everyone in my friend group watches anime and then no one makes fun of each other because of it
this is like the exact same way i started one piece i hated it for no reason idk why, and now im about 120 episodes in and its so good
For me, one piece was a sort of escape from no having real friends back in my 7th grade, and it really helped me a lot through my junior year :)
bro your speech got me thinking deep down of the true meaning of one piece
One piece really taught me to enjoy the goofiness and enjoy more things...
I did not like a lot of things because it looked weird or it's not my style but now I watch all that's weird and I found a lot of new music, games and movies that way wich now are my favourites of all time
One piece is a huge reason why I’m successful in my life today straight up idc if it sounds corny that shit is true
The funny thing about one piece is that the amount of episodes scares a lot away. But after that first episode,
after the first few arcs, you start to understand why the company continued producing such a show.
More and more it tops itself making even some weaker arcs a blast to watch.
Its (to my knowledge) the only show that was given a shot to become a modern epic.
There probably will never be another show like One Piece.
Im currently only on episode 373 or almost finished Thriller Bark and I still gotta lot to go but Ive loved and will
most likely continue to love every moment in it. Ive spent so much time with these characters that they feel real.
They're like my best friends that aren't there.
Best of lucks in your future.
i also used to get "bullied" for watching anime being a loser and being weak than i picked up one piece saying why not ive got plenty of time on my day and while watching it hit me that if they can stay commited to there dreams even on the verge of death why couldnt I stay commited to it right now so ever since than i turned my life around started working out started being more social everything and i still tune in for a new episode every now and than i truly cant describe how much it has done for me with everything in my life thank you oda thank you one piece
I turned 18 now.
I am very thankful about your words.✨️
I am so proud to be a part of this great story and happy to meet new people that also enjoy this peace of fiction, this Masterpiece and talk about what Oda is planning for the future.
For the future where Monkey D Luffy and his crew, his family will achieve there goals and dreams.
Have a nice day and take care about yourself.🌻
We all have the same goal in our live dont we❓️
I totally agree with you bro I feel a sort of connection to these characters in a way and even though I just started dressrosa I can watch the show with no anxiety or problems and just be happy in the moment
You earned a subscriber, one piece changed my life too, depressed and suicidal kid into a man taking everything with a smile I mean like not a fake smile , it’s deep down our heart says it’s okay to smile , happiness is within you , you just have to fight for it and take it and spread it, luffy a fictional character did so much impact on my life, I haven’t been sad after that , taking it like it’s a part of life , if I see luffy irl , I’d cry and hugging him and thanking him for saving me exactly like the girl from garden of words did , luffy and oda thank you for everything you guys made me happy , and luffy I was rooting for you to become the king of the pirates, my captain forever
Lost my grandma almost 2 years ago. One piece is what u watched to help me through it and it was an amazing journey
I was lucky to have a friend that was into anime, and eventually i tried naruto because of him, I'm really lucky i did because on shorts i discovered one piece because of king chris. That same friend gave me his funimation login and now i got supportive friends that dont mind my anime obsession lol. My b for sharing my story but basically I'm very proud of you getting into one piece its such a life changing journey, hope things get better in your life man :)
Everybody has its ups and downs, but I am happy to see how One piece can help anyone with their problems
feels good to hear your story abt how crucial One piece is in your life,,,
Greetings from mexico!!
best friend moved away the summer of 2022 and i felt so completely lost starting school in september, gave one piece a chance and it filled that void completely
I definitely agree I grew up in the era of the big 3 and it’s a very different time I am proud to be part of that generation!
I recommend to try reading Naruto it gives you a while different perspective!
I was 28 when I started watching one piece during the pandemic. When Nico robin screamed “I want to live” I cried so hard. Never would have guessed at this age a cartoon would give me these emotions. Thanks oda 🙌🏾
Right now one piece is the only thing that keeps me alive, im struggling with depression for over 4years now and one piece is the only thing that I'm waiting and looking forward to every week. For those 4years one piece was with me and it made me smile every time i watched new episode it really does make my days better and somehow worth to live trough, i also realized a lot of things about myself and my life because of one piece. Im just hoping that when the one piece ends i will finally have a purpose in life and something other to live for. One piece is truly a masterpiece and im so greatfull that i decided to watch it its kinda silly but i probably wouldn't be commenting this rn if i never got the motivation to watch it.
Just after I started watching One Piece my manager started making my life hell and this is a job that I love doing. Watching One Piece before work and seeing how resilient the straw hat crew was, Luffy in particular, even when things seem impossible gave me the strength to endure that hell until she finally got canned for her behavior. It was rough as hell but I'm a stronger person now because of it, instead of being bitter or resentful I look at how Luffy would.
I lost my brother in 2018, and until Marineford I was only a huge fan of one piece, but after that it became a part of me so deeply rooted
I started watching One Piece in August too in the beginning of my Senior Year of High school, and I’m now caught up. Now off to Japan for College, looking back that year was the hardest year of my life, but One Piece was always there. It got me through that dark year in my life and I’m so glad I started this amazing show. I’m happy to share this same experience with many others.
Real talk
Your words cut deep, deeper then any blade
🗿🍷
Bro, it's not just you.....we all One piece fans can relate!!🥹
This is so relatable, thank you for making this video.
Wait fr!?!? 😂 does one piece just turn doomers into gleeful chads!?!? Like my life was turned upside down just cause of one piece. You? 😅
@@lightningjadejavier frankly yes One Piece helps me with my anxiety and motivation issues. It can be the best part of my week sometimes when things are going great
deep shit bro. 5:58 🔥🔥
real bro for no reason i just didnt wanna watch it and thought it was weird but ive been watching it for a week and im almost on 400, and i have a lot of personal stuff also going on too and one piece is just awesome ngl
im a BIG one piece fan and its been my number one supporter fr tho and ive been lacking on watching one piece bc im bout to watch dressrosa and i didnt want to watch ALL of that. but u just motivated me to watch one piece more thanks homie. live love laugh and cry because of lifes beautiful moments
ur bringing me to tears rn bro
Cant emphasize how relatable this is dude, congrats. Keep pushing to achieve what you want to achieve in life, even if you have no idea what that may be.
The reason why i love One Piece is during school i spent most of my time i spent my time with “friends” who didn’t care about me i was always the silent one in the group that got often ignored around the end through connections I found people that also enjoy one piece and now i have friends who I trust and don’t ignore me and because of these new friends i also became more religious because of those friends and also my grades improved so because of One Piece my life in school improved drastically
Young man, that was beautiful 😁 You experienced true growth that will form the rest of your life. One Piece may have helped, but it takes wisdom to understand that you're not in control of everything, and that's ok. We just need to do the best we can... with a DON!
ep 6 of one piece is what hooked me. i thought abt dropping it because everything abt onepiece is what i hate abt a show the most. I don't like watching something that's ongoing, i hate watching something that is so long, i prefer watching shoujo animes for the romance and from what I've heard there is no romance in the series, and i hate watching something that looks ugly (artstyle). but then when i reached chouchou's backstory, it really touched my heart. everyone around me knows that I'm an aloof and cold person. they thought i was emotionless, but this show had made me feel like I'm riding a rollercoaster of emotions. it's one of the best decisions in my life.
all i can say is, this is the greatest show ever, thousands of episodes yes but the journey and the never ending story is sooo fkn good!!.
im glad to hear this anime helped u out alot man.🙏
One Piece changed my life as well. I had diarrhea but because I kept rewatching One Piece episodes I had my butt tight and eventually got to constipation. It saved my life bro. Now I do not have to go take a dumb every 5 minutes.
Bro, the same thing happened to me. My parents got divorced last year and I was really sad but I just tried to keep a smile in school since I didn’t want people to know but then my brother convinced me to watch it. My friends also clowned on me for watching which just made me more sad. didn’t think I would like it or even finish it but, then I got hooked on the show. And now a year later I’m done.
hope you are alright now. It’s very hard to go through.
No bro you just earned a sub straight off the bat. Your wording is so deep, meaningful, and genuine. It’s like you’re talking in front of me. Sky high and remember me when you’re famous. I love one piece too btw XD
love your vid. As a long time One Piece fan (its my number 1 fav show), i understand you completely. Its impossible to even explain to ppl who havent seen it how good it is ❤️
Its changed my life for the better. I am certain some aspects of my personality and demeanour i gained from Luffy and a smaller extent Zoro.
I started watching One Piece and my sibling keeps saying I won't finish it (manga and anime).
I feel as if i'm at a low point in my life, so I watch One Piece to actually commit to something.
I dunno, it feel like it's making my anxiety way better since Luffy always seemed to never care of what others think, that kinda inspired me ig
That is so sweet😭 it makes me happy to know that sometimes anime or fictional characters from anime make people genuinely happy. I'm sorry your parents divorced, I'm glad you're doing good now, though! That was a wonderful story.
I was born with damaged lungs, chronic cough and partial functioning pancreas. I was a shy, out of place kid wondering if I would live long enough all the time as doctor's stated my life may not sustain long. I was 14 when I found One Piece it changed me from deep inside and taught ne what freedom truly is. I cried at several moments in the anime and not at emotional but the happy parties at the end of every arc because it gave me joy that I can experience something so awesome in my short lifespan
good video, its crazy to hear you talk about anime like its the craziest thing to ever exist, but it sure is the most entertaining type of things to watch
Let me tell you, One Piece is one of those anime's that will just stick with you for your whole life. Luffy is such an inspiration. Infact I wrote a whole slide show about The great life lessons in it. It also brought me closer with my sister. We have never been that close, But after watching the live action she got hooked on the anime. Now everyday when I come home from work, I get to see and experience the excitement with her as we continue watching.
For me I started one piece at the age of 10. I’m completely know where you’re coming from. I stride to be like luffy, always keeping a smile on my face and being the hope for someone when they’re having a bad day. When I lost my dad, every thing came to the end, but it was something about luffy smile and laugh that just keep helping push through, and no matter how much life gets hard you can always control how you react and handle it.
Very strong words. I find it remarkable how a show can have such a positive influence on you. I've been watching One Piece since I was 6 (I'm now 26) and it has always helped me through bad times. I love this Show and Oda so much. There should be more shows that convey such good values.
👏man👏
Great message, "I can't change these things".
Just really well told, can't change certain things. So act within what you can change.
And funny enough, then it happens we can change our own state.
You definitely found one of the keys bro.
one piece has changed my perspective on alot of things too bro. its magic. this story is pure magic
Bro I feel for you man. Stuff like that really hits you. But its good you got through it
I appreciate you putting this out there. It’s hard to put something like this out without fear of embarrassment, and worrying about sounding “corny” but I promise you everything u said in this video I understood and took to heart. It’s crazy how the world works and the fact that a show that most people view as stupid can change your life is incredible.
I started one piece in 2020 after being so curious about Nami as a 15 year old obsessed with mha and tpn...fast forward now i have a cat named Nami and im on the timeskip finally :)
2020-2022 were the absolute roughest times of my life because of personal loss, depression, scdie attempts and my grades slipping n things at home. But watching one piece during those times really slowly absolutely helped. And during 2023 my interest in the show spiked after i lost interest in mha. In that year alone i got through 300 episodes. While being a graduating senior and college freshman. Crazy .
The tears i have cried over Nami and Arlong Park, Chopper, Vivi, Robin and Franky and Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark bringing me to a stop because i was choking up over brooks crew💔💔 and marineford...my god. 😢
Now im on Fishman island watching an ep a day as i work for the summer and it makes me feel good. Im gojng at my own pace and i feel like such a different person to when i started one piece. I love it so much even though im slowly getting out of my anime obsession, it will always be with me and I'll keep watching until the end🙏
I couldn’t agree with you more. My parents got divorced a few years ago and I had the same feelings as you did. It made me devastated and I didn’t know what to do about it. Although you had a different situation with your journey in one piece, I fully agree with you. One Piece makes you feel many emotions and makes you feel as if you were part of the journey itself…though, in the same way you are. I started watching one piece in the beginning of this year…. all I will say is that was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Why I love one piece so much is because I used to have friends that judged me. Then, I met new friends later in life and the straw hats goofy crew reminded me of my true friends who would really accept me. ❤
W story bro. Sometimes just sitting down and really taking something in can have a big impact on your life
That's crazy man, I've had such a similar experience that it's almost scary to hear your story. One Piece has definitely changedy life and my outlook on life in a big way as well
Thank you for sharing your story.
Anime helped me during a rocky point in my childhood, specifically "the big 3" (Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach)
They all had a huge positive impact on my life, and funny enough they continue to even in my current adulthood.
Damn bro 🥲
One Piece is so special. I’ve never known fiction to make me so happy to be alive and so eager to make the most of it. Be it productive or not. Have fun. Smile. And help those you care about do the same. If you suffer, you suffer. If you die, you die. But you get the choice to smile. Take care, nakama. Hope to see you around.
I’ve been watching one piece for a year now I’m finally on the egghead ark. I don’t want to have to wait for new ep to come out. Truly in my top 3
This was probably one of the best videos i have seen. I was also one of those anime haters but just taking a peek at One Piece,my whole life changed Great video keep it up and push through your problems A MAN'S DREAM NEVER DIES
One peice is just different, it has each and every emotion ever made..It makes you laugh, cry, smile, scream literally everything. It just heals you. It honestly makes me cry knowing it’s gonna end in 2025.
I went through something similar, my parents went through a divorce around 2020 and for a while I had this mindset that was like “I don’t need emotions” but One Piece had me crying and laughing and having emotions again.
I don't know how far you are yet, but one of my favorite lines from Luffy is at Fish-men Island. He gets asked if he's a bad man because he's a pirate. He thinks for a second and just says, "Hmmm, I don't know. You decide." And that mentality of letting your actions speak for who you are as a person is one of the reasons I love Luffy and One Piece so much.
