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
Years ago, when I was super into manga and anime, I tried to get into One Piece because of how popular it was getting (it was still finding its footing in the US but it was huge in Japan). I read the first few volumes of the manga and watched the first dozen or so anime episodes. It was well made but nothing about it grabbed me in a way that made me the least bit excited to continue (or even understand its wild popularity), especially compared to other shonen series at the time. The plot didn't immediately hook me, and I guess neither the characters nor the premise/setting were interesting enough to keep me going until it did. Given how long the series has gone on for, I'm relieved I never got into it.
Anyone else struggle to find One Piece enjoyable?
No
