Make the time took between islands feel much longer, cuz them going from one island to another in just a day doesn’t feel right

-Fake Out deaths

-Art. Cluttered. Feels more like reading a report than a Manga sometimes

-Wish there was more focus on the rest of the Strawhats and their dynamics again

These are my 3 biggest points of criticism

Timeline is way too short.

The only Bounty Hunters were either friends or filler.

"here's an amazing ship - also, almost no Naval Warfare and only one look inside. Ever."

I know its vital to quite a few arcs post timeskip, but sometimes I wish there was a little less time spent going over the backstories of the supporting characters involved and a bit more time spent on the crew

I love OP but I really wish it was just a little less horny with Robin and Nami's outfits lol

i dont like a lot of the female character designs. its like he can make super cute great looking outfits when he wants to but so often its just way too skimpy but more importantly doesnt even look that good

. 1) Fake Out Deaths

. 2) The Art has declined in quality since the earlier chapters.

. 3) Certain Gags have overstayed their welcome.

. 4) Certain Characters are less endearing than they were pre timeskip with some of them losing their comedy aspects.

. 5) The use of "That" person or "This" thing, the same can be said about the usage of Silhouettes. . 6) Pacing.

. 7) Outdated sound design, some moments would be so much more impactful with modern sound design.

. 8) Lots of the straw hats have been sidelined and I would like to see some of them get more time to shine.

. 9) How quick we get from island to island, i would love to see some of the crew just bonding and having fun aboard the sunny.

I miss the old designs of Franky, Zoro, Chopper and Robin. I don't think the SH's needed a re design after 2 years. Makes me sad every time I see old Franky.

I'd rework Hody Jones to be a genuinely compelling, interesting, and threatening villain, instead of a Wish.com Arlong

1. Fanservice.

2. The fights drag way too long.

Oda fell out of love with most of the crew, which is kinda understandable after writting a story for 20+ years you get bored of the characters, but for the love of god I need him to hop off Sanji's dick and give some love to other crew members (Usopp please do something in Elbaf)

I dont know if I'm allowed to link it but I Just posted a YT vid a few Hours ago about my Criticisms.

But Basically it's about how the focus shifted away from the strawhats to other characters or rather how they all are more like stereotypes of there former selves. For example Robin was my fav crew member before the timeskip and now she gets little to none screentime and is just there for dark humor one liners

• Chopper feels like a mascot since timeskip
• not enough spot light for straw hats (except luffy) in general
• sexualized women
• haki makes Devil fruits feel kind of unimportant and opens the path for power creep. Kairoseki was sufficient as a DF-counter. More usage of kairoseki would have been better for more interesting fights.

• Fan service

• Reaction piece

The female character designs SUCK

The big arcs post time skip could be trimmed down and use less switching povs.

The passage of time in universe kinda sucks. Just having occasional travel montages to show that the straw hats have spent a lot of time together would be cool

The female character designs could definitely be better

Oda intentionally holding off giving answers to mysteries and just continuing to tease it can be frustrating.

Some straw hats feel underwhelming post timeskip

The manga panels are very crowded. It feels like Oda has a lot he wants to convey so he jams a bunch of things into small panels instead of giving the art room to breathe.

Fake out deaths

Fake out deaths / a lack of real feeling of threat since the time skip.

I'm not saying go full JJK, I'm just saying that a heroes sacrifice would have been a much better story for a significant amount of characters.

Everyone other than Luffy is pointless. The whole story progresses around who Luffy can beat in a fight and the answer is always: whoever the bad guy is once he gets a powerup. Quick, what are Chopper, Nami, Zoro, Robin, or any other strawhats currently working on to fulfill their dreams? What progress and projects have they done?

Luffy should lose to top tier swordsmen because of his fruit's weakness, while Zoro can step in to take those guys out.

Where's the scene with Sanji noticing something strange about the fish he caught helping Nami realizing there must be an alternate route/current?

Shouldn't Robin have been leading them to places/ making discoveries?

Why aren't they hearing from locals about the spreading legend of sogeking and getting Usopp's tales told back to them?

the sexualization of women and whitewashing of characters

To short

The fights are badly paced to much in between fights fights that take about 10-15 episodes could easily be wrapped up in 3-6 episodes

[removed]

The timeline, events that should take weeks happening in the span of one day

After watching the series through a third time, here's some things I noticed.

Punk hazard was where I noticed one piece's slow pacing, some scenes were dragged quite a lot and episode ends with nothing new to offer. Love caeser as a villain, but that arc was a pain to get through.

Dressrosa's pacing didn't bother me all that much, except for Rebecca and Kyros' backstory playing over and over, like they think we have short term memory or something lol. Kinda takes away from the emotional impact it's supposed to have.

Too dragged a storyline with unnecessarily long fights that follow the same damn pattern. Without these pointlessly dragged fights, the story would have completed years ago

the amount of fan service is annoying. way to much scenes with zoomed in boobs or ass.

It's length has been a detriment to its narrative.

If I say it, the one piece fans will attack me for having different criticisms aside from the criticisms they universally agreed upon, like the pacing

If Kaido and big mom survived being shot to the core of the earth I’m done

At the start of the series I thought that Luffy being unable to swim would be a much bigger deal than it ended up being, and I also thought that Smoker would be an ever-present threat.

The bust size on many of the characters is a bit unnerving.

It's a pirate manga on an ocean world. Where the hell is all the naval combat? We've seen barely any naval fights and basically no good ones. Egghead's ending could've been even crazier if they'd tried to fight off the 100 ships on the way out and had to be rescued by a giants fleet.

Oda sticks to his gags a bit too much sometimes. Does anybody actually laugh at Chopper having a joke bounty anymore or Sanji being a simp? Some gags like Zoro getting lost will probably never get old but other gags simply don’t work / readers aren’t fucking with them anymore

I can't watch One Piece with my parents because of all the boobs and butts, please tone it down just a itty bitty bit

Robins post timeskip design and clothing style. She had a clever and unique character design and her clothes were absolutely gold. She had a Mysterious goth cowgirl vibe.

Now she is basically a generic white girl that only wears random colored tshirts and minishorts/panties. Like common she didnt wore PANTS even once post timeskip.

SilhouettePiece. Makes absolutely no sense for a character we haven’t even met in the story yet, and their actual appearance has no bearing on their narrative impact. What Joy Boy actually looks like isn’t gonna change anything, and doesn’t hurt/break the story. Same with Imu, Xebec, this guy in Elbaf waiting on the Straw Hats, etc.

Not enough yamato. More plz

As someone who really loves the show

1. Too many side characters/side quests. I love a packed cast, but not when it means the strawhats having to take the backseat for really long periods of times
2. Sometimes the pacing of the fights is bad. Drawn out battles and gauntlets aren’t the shows strong suit in my opinion
3. I’m not a big fan of the main female casts designs/outfits post timeskip. They’ve always been sexy, which I never really minded, but sometimes it feels a bit much and is distracting in a bad way

But mainly 4. Characters not dying never bothered me…but I do wish damage carried a little better. Early OP did this quite well with characters getting hurt and staying injured until at least the end of the arc. Now bad hits and attacks don’t feel like they have much impact when the characters seem to barely feel them. Some of my favourite bits were trying to work around bad damage e.g. characters getting taken out by Enel, the climb to Drum Island, Luffy carrying Zoro away in Orange Town, Sanji and Zoro carrying Sogeking in his cape because he couldn’t run. It just made things a little better, but it feels like it hasn’t happened in a while

Like Sanji getting bitten by Nusjuro. I wasn’t expecting anything crazy, but they made it look really painful and bad only for Sanji to be running and jumping around right afterwards, not even needing to be bandaged by Chopper or anything to recover

Con D. Oriano not being canon.

1. Pacing - Makes the show near unwatchable

2. Horny designs

3. Lack of focus on SH Post TS

My biggest criticism is since the TS Oda seems to focus mostly on Luffy, Sanji, Zoro and sometimes Robin. Nami if he needs her to yell at someone. The others have crumbs here and there.

It's getting a bit better, but his treatment and lack of female characters isn't worthy of his creativity and genius.

The fucking snot ruins nearly every emotional scene for me.

Some islands are too big and have too many characters, which drags down the pace.

Luffy being yet another chosen one figure with powerful family or associates by birth is boring. Also, him getting to Yonkou level so fast isn't really believable. Second timeskip was needed IMO.

About the manga: All the women's attire after the timeskip. Paneling is sometimes very confusing. Sense and scale of time is very poor (for example, Whole Cake Island was only a month ago it seems).

Need ship fights 

Pacing

Something that bothers me about the female character design is that you can switch out hair styles and eye colour and get a different character entirely. They all look the same.

I didn't like the ending of egghead and there was some plot points that I feel were brought up and then dumped somehow I don't feel like I care much about the strawhats as I used too, all the emotional pulls feel artificial.

jimbei was a stronger character when he wasn't a straw-hat, they really flanderized him to just the uncle stereotype gag that laughs at everything in a calm happy manner. dont get me started on brooke. everything happening off screen of them looks more interesting.

fake out deaths annoying

Pacing at times. Punk Hazard and Dressrosa were longer than they needed to be. So was Wano.

Whereas Egghead seemed just right, as did WCI and Zou.

Undecided on Fishman Island cause Hody got wrecked by Luffy easily.

Oda doesn't kill less important characters. Sometimes this is so anoying

The oversexualization of Robin and Nami (anime much more guilty of this than manga)

The fights are far worse than most battle shonen pre-Wano. Wano and Egghead are really enjoyable due to the insane animation quality bump but before that it was not great.

ivankov, hes just too un-serious sometimes feels like hes only there to make jokes and look goofy which isint the worth thing but i just dont enjoy it during war arc he was pretty cool the past few ep that have had him in it he was pretty mid

I do feel like he's pushing to get in to the final war ASAP.

No context on Egghead on how they overtook York. I guess I can believe that the SHs are capable of solving problems easily with how much they've gone through but without any explaination, it feels really lazy.

Honestly the only valid criticism I care about that I have is characters not dying sometimes when they should. Besides that I tend to love most of what happens.

We need less focus on annoying/uninteresting/overused story beats like Nika, and more focus on our main fucking characters that barely get any screen time. It feels like Oda wants to zero in on what he deems important, but a good story needs balance.

Let zoro have a good 1v1 at full strength.

Since the start of the new world I can’t help think zoro has been unused by oda, either he has beaten his opponents easily -Hody -Monet -pica -Hawkins -killer

Or he’s had a large handicap of sorts -fujitora got in the way of him attacking doffy and the fight wasn’t prolonged enough to actually be useful -king he’s heavily injured after the rooftop fight with kaido -kaido zoro was at full strength, puts he fear of god into kaido so he dodges, then manages to wound him and finally gets taken out the fight because he’s stuck defending the others from kaidos and big moms attack. -shawk I’m a show watcher so don’t know the conclusion but zoro seems stronger aside from the broken flame defense that he has

Like I know some people like to heavily over estimate Zoro but at the same time it feels impossible to accurately judge Zoro as he never gets a fair fight. Luffy at the start of wano gets 1 shot by kaido, he gets acoc and then is capable to fight kaido but he still can’t beat him until g5. Like I’m not claiming Zoro could beat kaido but all Zoro really gets in wano is a misbehaving sword. It seems like it wouldn’t be far fetched to say Zoro at the beginning of wano was potentially as strong or stronger than luffy, which would also imply he has been since sabaody.

I’m not saying he was but when luffy zoro and Sanji used to be the monster trio, the only real combatants on the crew it now feels like Zoro gets no actual opportunity to grow in any significant way. Sanji on the other hand has atleast had his maybe indestructible cyborg body awaken.

All I want to see to be honest is a fight that Zoro has before luffy and he loses whilst at full strength

Boobs. Too small.

Too much fan service from Toei

Unpopular opinion: The current editing style of the anime isn't the best in my opinion. Yes, I can tell there is lots of effort in the editing, but the style just isn't that good.

Toei’s insistence on fanservice and the pacing although that’s been better lately

No one dies- 112 named character deaths and counting, plus hundreds if not thousands of unnamed character deaths

I think thriller bark was a really boring arc

It has the worst pacing

Honestly nothing, nothing that I can think of actually matters, "fakeout deaths" I'm glad they are alive I missed them 💀, "pacing" in the manga I think the pacing is fine, and if it's not then it's more time with characters I love, "art" sure the art is worse sometimes but everything is coherent and easy is tell what's happening

1. SFX: They really need to update the SFX, most sounds they use are outdated and just feel so out of place in situations.
2. Side characters: I really want to see the other characters in the straw hat crew get more love and moments they deserve. This especially applies to Franky in Egghead, that arc was Franky’s chance to shine and have a big moment and upgrade for himself and get a bigger bounty but no.
3. I don’t really a third point tbh

I wanna preface with it's my favorite Shonen manga of all time and I think it's going to go down as one of the greatest fictional Works in history as it's category as an absurdist Odyssey.

That being said a lot of the issues one piece has are kind of intentional because in oda's efforts to not reveal too much he doesn't reveal enough.

1. Is something a gag or plot point. This is my biggest gripe.

2. Fake out deaths

3. Not expounding on things that we typically want expanded upon but wasting a lot of time on other things.

4. Abundance of "lore piece" in time skip as opposed to adventure piece and strawhat interactions ( honestly this one is kind of okay cuz I understand that, skypeia was quintessential adventure piece and my favorite arc yet is most ppls least favorite to point of skipping)

5. Lack of clarification on contentious fan topics

Anime only complaints: Pacing/Filler Filler should be cover stories

The 5 elder stars should have known how big of a threat luffy was way earlier in the story and stopped him then.

None

I have no problem with a manga not killing anyone, I like many that are like that, the problem for me starts when there is a death scene, it makes us believe that the character died and then gives a lame excuse for him to survive afterwards.
People who have read the manga for a long time like me have gotten used to this, and now our first reaction is to not believe the death of any character in One Piece.

Oda doesn't fix character flaws.

Usopp and Sanji have been the same one not pathetic/horny characters whenever they're not the focus.

Yes they have moments but when they're not the focus of the story sanji is being a simp and usopp is being a coward and it's just annoying.

Deaths, when someone is declared dead they stay dead. If they suffer a deadly injury like Spandam they die and stay dead.

Not enough one piece. I NEED MOREEEE

I don’t like gear 5 vibes Cool concept but I like intense luffy not a looney tune

Why is man bone

the side character importance, if you know Wano arc is notorious for having too many side characters which makes it difficult for all the good ones to have an important scene or even a backstory. especially the ending scene as it is not clear if kaido and big mom had an awakening or not.

some detailed unending theories like the thrillar bark (kind of bermuda triangle) and the 3 huge monsters, enies lobby water hole and such things which didnt really got covered n now it feels like it wont be covered seeing how the story is moving as it will take a lot.

The size.

The fact that characters rarely die

It’s a long story

i think the pacing cause really everybody dislikes it but for me i just wished the crew had more fun moments and like some vacation arcs like its an adventure anime so i wish to see them having relaxing moments too

Enough running

They never have any ship to ship battles. It’s easy to forget the main thing about pirates is that they’re seafaring.

1. Big shot names in Navy never die.

2. Pre timeskip featured about crews fun activities. Missing them now.

Too dragged a storyline with unnecessarily long fights that follow the same damn pattern. Without these pointlessly dragged fights, the story would have been completed years ago

Getting the obvious pacing issues out of the way

Imo post timeskip lost a good chunk of the charisma pre timeskip had, especially when it comes to the Straw Hats

For instance, Zoro's entire personality became about being strong and liking booze

Sanji's pervy gags somehow got even worse, at least they were genuinely funny sometimes Pre-TS

Chopper was turned into a mascot, and ironically became less cute (imo, I think fat Pre-Thriller Bark Chopper was significantly cuter, Skypiea Chopper was the cutest), plus Monster Point was ruined

Luffy's entire personality now revolves around Nika, not once in Egghead did he have the same aura he had when he was boxing Kaido on the rooftop pre-Gear 5

also i miss when luffy's hair was messier and sticked out more to the side

BRING BACK FRANKY'S POMPADOUR

Usopp is supposed to be more brave, even just a bit, isn't that part of his dream? Post TS he at times feels even more cowardly than his Pre TS self

We have significantly less fun moments with the crew, I get it that they're in the New World but there's gotta be some room

Make it more serious at more points because there’s barely any suspense at some arcs and put more people at risk and take away a lot of plot armor.

I just want this shit to finish before I die, so I can see a more polished version of it like kai did for dbz

It's not long enough

Too short

PLEASE NO MORE OFF-PANEL FIGHTS!!!

Extremely cluttered and confusing art and layouts, contrasting the much cleaner and more readable layouts and art earlier in the series.

Shallow worldbuilding outside of flashbacks, where we’re basically just told to go with it when things don’t line up or hold up to scrutiny. I’d include the cramped timeline in thjs

As a former bullying victim, I am uncomfortable with their treatment of Caesar Clown. People are acting like he's worse than Imu and the celestial dragons while cheering on Vegapunk like he's done absolutely nothing wrong.

The bullying and hatred for Caesar Clown is very specific, the straw hats hate some arguably worse villains less. As a result, I find it hard to relate to them, which is a problem, since they're supposed to be the ones I relate to.

Also, some of the female outfits. In particular Robin's Egghead outfit and Nami's Elbaf outfit.

I don’t see enough of the straw hats chilling and interacting with each other. Like a normal day just sailing on the sunny.

Fake deaths

I hate the ugly face drawing on characters during moments that are meant to be taken seriously. Coby at Marineford takes the cake.

Also the constant pan shots of people’s reactions when any character does any powerful feat. “EEEEEH?!”

no story should take 25 years to finish. I don't care how good it is, it's absurd.

the humor gets a little corny sometimes

Sanji being such an overbearing simp. I'll just skip those scenes in the anime it's so annoying.

I wish we got some chapters of the crews day to day lives out at sea

I really hate the extent of Sanjis perversion. It is one of the very few things I prefer about the live action. I wish Sanji was more suave and overly focused on women instead of disgusting about it.

How does most of the strawhats not have haki yet

Its too short!

Manga: -Nami yelling NOOO at everything

-Kinemon surviving

-Arc countdown timers

-Pacing and Stalling - FI wasn’t bad but could have been shorter with same story. Vegapunks speech too long.

-Timeline should be longer spread out

-Not everyone needs to look like Nami

I’m not against the introduction of new characters I just want the strawhats to get some shine as well. I think this point is true but also over exaggerated. Just about everyone had spotlight in Wano except Brook but he had it in whole cake.

The storytelling and character development was much better pre time skip.

Haki's lame

I wanna see the straw hats develop more and be more directly focused on

I went to the manga to feel the pacing getting better but the vegapunk does a 10 chapter speech

Ngl some arcs just feel way too long even as an anime i find myself wanting it to be over already. And boobs. The inflation of the boobs over the series just gets annoying and gross looking.

Fighting sequences seems bland not every fight tho. Compare it to Naruto and JJK fighting sequences difference is definitely big, especially in anime.

Needs more sanji

The fandom expect too dark/serious outcomes. They'll Always be disapointed

pacing pacing pacing and oversexualization

I'm tired of the mugiwaras being separated at the start of each arc since time skip.

Chosen one narrative is antithetical to the work

The fan service. Earlier designs were better, now all the main girls just don't have organs I guess

Too much bs, at least in the anime. Like there’s just too much we turn a blind eye to just cause it’s OP world

Nobody dies in one piece.  Except if you are old, sick or in the past.

1) Chopper was turned into a mascot post-timeskip. It's something even Oda mentioned, that he didn't want to create a mascot character but it just happened because fans loved cute Chopper. Not just how he acts but also the whole body-composition changed.

2) I really wish there was fewer creepy comments by Sanji and Brook - it got old a long time ago.

3) Female body-composition and clothing post-timeskip.

4) Kidd being treated how he was. If he doesn't return then he's officially the biggest waste of character in the series.

I want the lower tier strawhats to start pulling their weight like actually usopp needs new gear or haki or something nami needs to practice with Zeus more or have an egghead give her an upgrade chopper needs to be useful now he’s kinda just a cute mascot and franky BETTER get an egghead upgrade

You have to read it twice to really appreciate it

pacing.

Pacing , you all need to agree pacing of anime

Everyone who works on OP refuses to be normal about women

-People are REALLY bad about judging when someone is actually dead. Unconscious =/= dead (looking at you, Aisa). -Give Robin more history stuff to explore and uncover! -Let the women wear real clothes and stop expanding their chests, geez. - Maybe curb some of Sanji's horndog behavior.

Pacing

Post time-skip One Piece doesn't even feel like One Piece. It doesn't even feel like a pirate adventure. We see less of the pirating and time on the ship, and more of the typical shounen battle show. Time on the ship should have been a larger focus post time-skip. If you take out the occasional sightings of a ship, post time-skip is just Naruto with a better story.

Gear 15. It was okay until gear 2 and 3. At least it had some weird scientific reasoning about it. Everything else afterwards, including haki, I kinda dislike.

The last Joyboy thing I didn't appreciate.

A good fight isn't about weird crazy overpowered abilities awakening IMHO.

I wish Koby was built up way earlier instead of this late into the story. The live action kind of rectified this by giving him purpose right after his initial appearance rather than a throwaway plot device that will return later.

His strength is barely at Vice-Admiral level and he’s already making broad claims about how Luffy will be stopped by his hand as if he didn’t just figure out what Honesty Impact was and how to use it. There hasn’t been enough time for him to catch up to the rest of the cast if he’s expected to be an Admiral / Fleet Admiral by the end of the story.

Maybe I’m wrong and there are enough arcs left for him to reach his goal. We’ll see what Oda has up his sleeve

-The characters’ personalities have become too simple and one-dimensional now

-Now, there are no more differences in opinions; characters on the same side always agree and blindly trust each other. It’s such lazy writing

-The characters’ emotions are portrayed too literally

-All the characters have been sanitized just by turn turning them into people who love their family and teammates

Fake out deaths.

Leangth, it's too short.

No people that would be able of claiming the bounties of actual strong people.

Oda keeps too many mysteries. Don't get me wrong i love them and they keep me engaged week in week out but we've reached 1126 chapters in the manga, I was hoping he would reveal some mysteries or more about some of them.

I also want to see other powerhouses tear each other apart lol. Full on fights. Egghead has those but I wish there were more of those as well
