ALT: a picture of a conversation in Teams between two coworkers. One coworker says:

LOL You should read One Piece Its such a good story in such an easy to digest format Too much “good content” is locked behind like super serious overtones Shit gets too heavy too much

the other person responds:

not only will I not be reading it, I will not be watching it either if you contact me again about this, I will seek legal action

      If you do watch the anime version, check out the One Pace project, a fan-edit that removes all of the filler and stalling in the animation - it is the definitive way to watch!

          They have a website at onepace.net. Their actual site is not working currently, but at least it redirects to their Discord server where you can get the streaming and magnet links you are searching for!

            I have begun my journey.

            I had been trying for awhile, mind you! I just uh…kept bouncing off. Easier getting into this though than my extremely vain attempts to understand or get into Homestuck.

            I think Homestuck has to stay as “Ah yes I heard about that and had a friend who used grey body paint a lot” area.

        The end of Wano was such a slog because that was the point where One Pace is not finished yet. Egghead seems less slow (at least for now) but Toei can suck my balls, such a bad adaptation pacing-wise omg

          Yep. One Pace basically just uses the manga for the storyboards without the extra bloat (though some exclusive anime segments got kept if they added to the experience), and the whole thing ends up being 40% shorter overall - and more importantly, it’s more dynamic and exciting to watch.

      Sometimes caving in and watching the popular thing helps you understand why it’s so popular, lol. I enjoy so many things that people view as having annoying fans. I’ve learned to just enjoy what I enjoy but sometimes it’s hard to recommend things like One Piece because of stereotypes about the fans.
