Does OP's artstyle hurt its western popularity?


Hmm?

Maybe? It mostly has to do with the fact that I had no good dubs

This, the fact they heavily censored so much in that show and the treatment they gave it pretty much screwed one piece. Lasted til funimation got the rights after 4kids went under.

No. All it would take is the proper marketing push, but the anime sucks so bad it's not worth it.

No, maybe if it had live action potential, but it and anime are like oil and water.

Stressing, through marketing and exposure, the uniqueness of One Piece's art style is literally the best chance the series has to hit it big.

This shows it as a kiddy show and lost its appeal.

i think it could use a kai version

i know it doesn't have filler filler but they do drag out each episode to only take up 1 chapter of the manga. so would cause a lot have to be redone if they make it move much faster. i never watched it but if the animation does suck then they can make it look better....but they also could butcher it like super did.

i dunno if i'd ever watch it with it hitting 1k episodes soon. then everyone says half the episodes you skip cause of intro/outro/recap. guess that would make watching old episodes easier to get through but sucks for new episodes if you're caught up and get like 10 minutes of new material a week.

OPs popularity being shot in the U.S is only because of 4kids destroying it. By the time Funimation got the chance to fix the English dub the damage had pretty much been done. It is still popular, but I think had FUNI got a hold of it originally rather than 4kids it would have been bigger than Naruto in America, or at least as popular.

If Funi got it before 4kids the dub would be almost caught up to the Japanese episodes as well

Almost
