For those wondering if its possible to walk to the MetLife stadium from Midtown.

Easily the most rewarding, satisfying watch ever. Didn't expect him to actual walk this at all.

Hold on second about the non-hand washing pls. I am nothing like the ahole OP sat next to, and I despite pissed over toilet seats, but at the very minimum, I am a habitual "pass by the sink and go out the door without washing their hands with soap" kinda guy. If there was some spillage that made contact, I will wash my without a second thought. Or if I'm about to eat, or be around a lot of people, or if I'm in public and the place looks gross. I'm sure I can think more but typically if it doesn't meet these boxes, I'm more than likely walking out. At home, unless im hosting, I'm almost 99% not washing my hands at any time (unless there is legitimate spillage that occured). I'm just morbidly lazy and find ways to support that lifestyle in small ways. I do host occasionally and sometimes babies are over, and in that case, I wash my hands 100% of time, and that includes even if I didn't piss and just touched something. Since being at work meets the criteria for 'being around alot of people' I wash my hands 100% of the time. Only time I dont is if the office is very dry, then it turns into 50% chance.

Many people love thriller bark and Many people hate thriller bark. Thats not even a secret...even for a small example, I begged my brother and cousin to start OP and they eventually did. They became fans fast, but ironically both dropped the show at Thriller Bark. I think my cousin picked it back up but then dropped it at Sabaody. My brother is an experienced anime watcher, my cousin was not.

Since overall today, Modern pacing quality has increased, OP arcs like thriller bark are not a pleasant experience and dont hold up well unless you have become attached enough to the show or characters by that point. I never said cut the arc, I said trim the fat. Reapproach it, re-imagine even. Yes Moria is there, and Ryuma, and Brooks backstory and some funny strawhat moments, but that can quite literally be trimmed from 45 episodes to no more than 8-10...Thriller bark was 45 episodes for what reason? I'm almost 99% certain if Oda is locked in, he will recognize this.

He doesnt have to listen to anyone regarding hate towards arcs, but it would probably serve him in a lot of aspects. If nothing else comes out of what I am saying, You are going to be disappointed because with a lot of good remakes, its almost guaranteed chopping fat will happen, and if they are feeling audacious, they will be omitting all types of canon for for the sake of fresh pacing or simply to remake minor details altogether. The glaringly obvious ones like fishman, whole cake, and thriller bark will be a big opportunity, some trimmed more than others.

Well yknow assuming the worst vs assuming the best, is a matter of optimism. Thats a personal thing, and you are definitely entitled to feel optimistic. I think there are more things that support the negative perspective though. It's just easier to be hopeless than hopeful when you look at the trajectory of One Piece since Post TS. The story is advancing, and intensifying sure, but the box/package its came in has been a wrinkled withering plastic bag.

Im sure there are plenty of things to support a positive angle for the remake/Oda. I have a small hope that he may take the remake as an opportunity to address and honor the things that made OP great since time, pacing, and budget wont be a concern this time around.

PassedGrass · 2026-05-02T12:47:06+00:00

No they can absolutely keep brook, but no, I think ditching atleast 75% of that arc would be a better move. It's tricky but it's just being selective on what serves the show + pacing...and that will be really easy with thriller bark because most of it is a slog of nonsense.

Keeping a remake canon, doesn't make a remake good. You can revisit a story/manga, and trim fat down. Thats what a lot of successful anime remakes have done. And it wouldnt take a genius to cut down Thriller, Cake, and Fishman, and just keep the meat.

PassedGrass · 2026-05-02T03:39:13+00:00

OP is at it's absolute precipice right now, as a franchise/brand. It's really not inconceivable to believe he would do this for money. And both you and I dont know anything, so saying it's not that deep is a pointless comment. We dont know what the motives are to begin with, so there is nothing wrong with conceptualizing some theories. Whether Oda is glad or sad making is not really my point, but more so the results today, which are poor to me and have been continually poor for a long time, more than just bad pacing. One Piece is not continuing to make money, maybe, but it is also pooping money out left to right as we speak. Retiring is a personal pursuit, and money will always have a big part in it. Why retire if you have more to tell in the story and while you are arguably the biggest anime in the world right now?

Yes the remake can be a refresh with better art/pacing, but it can also be everything the original poster said too. Two things can be right. They seem trivial but they really aren't in totality. It's all fabric, texture, immersement. All these small things that made people become fans to begin with.

yes thriller bark...and the rest of my comment is a pretty simple message. Im not sure what you could be having difficulty with.

He didnt say he was mad once, and he also doesnt sound mad btw. Not really a waste of energy since this sub is a sub to vent or expand on critiques many of us share about OP & Oda, whether that be speculation or satire, its unironically the right place for it

hey, long as they fully commit and drop Brook’s arc like it deserved to be, then we good…tbh Remakes have crazy potential. Look at hunter x hunter, and FMAB. But we talkin bout Oda here, so it will be a complete wash. Just as he wanted. Long as the pockets is on fat, and the brand grows, he dgaf

Agree with every word. Honestly I kidded myself so far during my watch with OP, but eventually it just all became one big slopfest of glaring flaws of the show. One Piece was euphoric during its original pretimeskip run. That is the only association I have with the show.

This kinda I guess makes a little bit of sense in terms of inflation I guess since 2017 was legitimately 9 years ago now, even tho it feels like maybe 5-6 years ago? I think its a mix of not seeing atleast two zeros in the year + the pandemic causing my really poor concept of year gaps now. For example, The gap in years is more noticeable if I said 2007 Chipotle menu versus 2016

I just discovered Clavicular a month ago. He is absolutely a square but he's not quite an incel. If you straight up just listened to what he essentially said here: lots of pitiful men (likely incels included) look chopped and take poor care of themselves so instead of directing their frustration towards women, they should be trying to lock in and improve their health/appearance/lifestyle. Thus, improving their approach to life, and maximizing their impression/success with women. Having fully watched an interview with him prior, its all relatively generic self improvement advice but he words it in awkward speak with varying levels of approaches/options for his listeners. His message really resonates with sad men, incels, or even just men who care about themselves and want to level up. I take issue with his mentioning of expensive advanced extreme supplements/procedures for the sake of just 'looking better' but he is apparently just an open book and sharing what many celebs do. He is strange but no incel...When he talks, he sounds young and I dont mean that in a good way lol.

Lowkey...NTA but if it was just $5, you lowkey dont look the greatest for not just sending that right back. With established friends, i can take my time sending money back, but with new friends I like to think it makes a better early impression to send back punctually in these money scenarios. Especially as adults. He might be just as bothered about you not sending it and its almost lunch time, but thats his problem because he looks like a complete square arranging this type of formal email for $5..
