User blog comment:D.Dragon123/What we DON'T like about One Piece./@comment-109.67.206.40-20130109223731

I'm rewatching One Piece right now - I like everything up to Enel saga (where I'm currently at) - the point where One Piece went downhill for me was post Ace and WB death, and it never surfaced back up again, hopefully this arc will prove to be better.

I actually didn't feel like Vivi was a whiner at all in my third rewatch of the series. Oda manages to genuinely make me feel concerned about the desert people not having rain (maybe because I live in the desert myself) and it just resonated with me.

Shirahoshi is the definition of whining. And this is the princess of Fish men island. Well done. Her only purpose is to provide Luffy fangirling to FORCE the reader into thinking he's cool and shit. Smart fights haven't really been a strong side of OP (or any side at all as they're nonexistent) but OP doesn't need 'em anyway IMO.

I don't like *presently* in the series:

1) Lack of character development: a bunch of retard parodies. Hate Sanji and Nami.

2) Lack of well grounded, emotional setting. Fishmen, PH refugees and kids = FAIL. (kinda)

3) Lack of any intense emotions. We've seen some with Law and Dofla action. Wanna see more, and a wider range. More badassery plz too.
