yes, i know. it’s super long but i promise it’s worth it. i never really watched anime until quarantine started. i guess i watched an episode of different animes here and there but only because it was on tv- also it was tagalog dubbed (i crie) so i was immediately like, “something’s wrong with this”. to those who watch english dubbed, just know you’re missing so much emotion and umph. anyways, one of the first animes i watched was one piece and it is HIGHKEY SO GOOD. still is btw.
what im trying to say is: HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF PATEINCE lol. it gets such a bad rep just because it’s long. i think it’s one of the animes that i really learned a lot from. one of the main characters, luffy, taught me to be more confident in myself and others. it taught me how a team should be, what it should look like and how it should feel like to each individual member. it’s easy to fall in love with the characters, too. each character has their own story and the anime emphasizes each and every single of of them (some are even turned into a whole arc).
i guess that’s also why their team dynamic and character development as the storyline progresses just keeps getting better and better. it’s not just one main character with all these side characters. each of them are just as memorable and important to the story as the others. i also like how it shows that going for something you want isn’t easy and will definitely require a huge amount of effort but having people around that support and also works as hard as you helps a lot in terms of motivation. im not saying that it’s the best but is definitely worth the watch. but ye, just showing some appreciation for one piece <3
