It's the same story told over and over

Luffy's crew sails to new lands, they meet new friends. Something tragic happens, and the new friend they met has a tragic past that holds them back from overcoming their present difficulties. Luffy, through his uncommon goodness, stands up against the big bad, and in so doing helps the new friend to overcome the darkness in their heart. He and his crew grow stronger, sometimes they get a new crew member, he continues to sail along the grand line, gaining infamy and influence.

This will presumably continue until Oda has enough money that his children won't die of starvation.

Its reallyl ong and pretty formulaic and boring with only weak overall plots tying everything together.

Even Bleach and Naruto have more concise narrative structures.

Everyhting in Bleach carries and is still significant.

even towards the very END of the Aizen arc stuff that happened in the substitute shinigami arc was still relevent.

Even now in the timeskip- the badge is an incredibly important item. Everythign works towards a greater narrative, something OP cant even pretend is true.

Uhhh, Bleach's story is on a downward spiral. The badge didn't hold any importance at all, it was just used as a crappy plot device to pull something out of his ass. If it truly had any relevance it would have been brought up multiple times throughout leading up to the point of it's significance. Instead it's just "lol, this is important now".

OP is far greater in it's narrative, and unlike Bleach it's items of relevance are continually brought up; Luffy's hat, will of D, Poneglyph stones, not to mention the thought that goes into its flashbacks.

Why watch 500 episodes of a low budget anime when you can spend the same amount of time watching 50 seasons of high quality anime?

The most popular anime in Japan doesn't get enough money to stop looking like a goddamn slideshow. For shame.

-Dreadful art.
-Sometimes it tries to be serious. It fails every time. Related to above.
-Glacial pace, made worse by tons of redundant dialogue.
-The aforementioned incoherent narrative.
-Paper thin, static characters.

It's pretty mediocre.

But the biggest problem I have with the series?

-The fans.

You will never find a touchier, more aggressive fanbase.

That's less a reason on why you should dislike One Piece and more a reason on why you shouldn't bother watching it.

Hah, the animation quality varies but at its worse it's still better animated than your average 1970s anime, and I watch those lemme tellya. It's usually fairly decent, and at times it's really good.

But hey, I mean one of my top anime is Lupin from 1971 which is often literally a slide show, but who says that can't be art? Slidin around is cool.

Oh yes, let's add "The anime" to the above list. There's a reason for all that though. It's because Toei.

Seriously, I can't think of a worse anime adaptation (discounting ones that go massively off the rails anyway, that's unfair). It starts pretty well, to its defense, but it really goes to hell around Enies Lobby. Sub-1 chapter per episode pacing plus a complete lack of a budget. Even the Naruto anime, renowned for its poor pacing and QUALITY animation, has better average animation and pacing than that.

Well most shonen anime use different studios/groups to animate a different episode, so they can churn stuff out more quickly. That's why the animation differs.

From: Psycho_Kenshin | #033

Well that was late 80's early 90's, I'd hope they would find and use better techniques by then! DBZ had some good to decent animation and style from some of the people that worked on it. People who have seen it their episodes probably know what I'm talking about, I refer them as "good drawings episodes" when I was a kid.

this is objectively wrong

yeah, Oda is taking his sweet time, but the whole series is constantly building up towards Luffy's goal, while we learn more about the world, its history and the characters. There's been a set goal for Luffy ever since they entered the Grand Line. It's also pretty funny how you bring up Bleach and stuff from its first arc being important later, because Oda is known to abuse Chekhov's Gun almost to the point of parody.

Maybe cheesy was the wrong word for it. Actually I can't think of the perfect word for it, because it's not bad, and "cheap" sounds harsh...

Overly simplistic? That'll do I guess. Not saying every anime needs to look like Ghost in the Shell, but I prefer anime that looks like its animators actually put some effort into it.
