User blog comment:D.Dragon123/What we DON'T like about One Piece./@comment-53539-20130113203236

1. Lack of chapters...lol

That are "to the point", yeah, otherwise no.

2. Lack of death.

Death is sometimes avoided, but it happens.

3. Lack of character development.

Yet when we get it a lot happens, the whole of the Whitebeard war saga was Luffy getting solid developement.

4. Lack of emotional settings.

The dragon kid just witnessed his father "die" (which is not true but... yeah), and not to mention the whole thing with the kids is pretty "emotional", but not in the sense your thinking.

5. Lack of intense emotions.

It happens all the time. ^_-

6. Lack of BADASS women.

Baby 5... Monet could qualify too... Those are the most recent.

7. Haki

????

8. Anime extended with whining.

Anime always gets filler to save it catching up. Personally I wish they'd just have a break rather then a filler. Trouble with filler is that to avoid issues with conflict of storyline, they have to really hold back on character development, which often leads to fillers being "generic" or the characters in it getting more development then anyone else.

9. Lack of tactics in fights.

It happened in the WB saga, its just not everything went to plan. A lot of the time there is no room for the gang to build a tactic as the action happens quite fast, but they have used it in the past. :-/

10. Lack of creative pirate names other than facial hair.

We've got hundreds of characters now, what do you want from Oda?

11. Unevenly divided screentime.

Its going to happen. ^_-

12. Brooks new outfit.

Agreed with that one, I hate it.

13. Punk hazard arc.

Its slow, but has given us a lot of plot development and "world building" information on the new world. The only fault I'm finding is the writings a bit lazier then normal.

14. Vivi being worthless.

She wasn't at the time, but she parted from the others, her commitments prevented her joining the crew.

15. People recover too fast from injury.

Depends... We're seeing a lot of strong guys who bounce back easy these days, earlier on in the storyline we had more "average guys" who never recovered scenario. Plus, honestly, sometimes the time frame isn't known to make judgements over.

16. The Davy Back fight arc.

It had a "few" uses... But wasn't a great arc, it was pretty much just a set-up arc.

17. Luffy and Bellamys first meeting.

Luffy did nothing. It made his "one-hit KO" later more meaningful. I actually think this is one of the best moments in the manga.

18. Luffy almost dying against Hody

Hody was tough. Luffy was too, but we've established he has his limits in the WB, he is ready for the NW, but not invincible. Luffy actually came out better then most fights, usually he is weak for several days, and while some hated the blood transfusion thingy, the fact he recovered quicker with it seems to have been missed by some. They accused Luffy of being weak for needing it... However, he likely needed it in the past but didn't get it. Hence the slower recovery.

19. Buggy

He is a comic relief villian, the series has gone on for a while you'll get all sorts of characters. I think he evens out "Shanks" more or less since they both have the same back-story of being on Roger's ship.

20. People not usin KH to its full potenial.

Pass...

21. Lack of Women sustain serious injury.

Monet just died...

22. Fan service too much ot too little.

It always happened, its just more apparent now because Oda's found what he can and can't get away with.

23. Lack of swordsman fights.

They happen, a lot. ^_-

24. Oda lazyness.

Yeah his pacing is off recently, but give him a break, if Oda doesn't do a little lazy writing at this point I doubt we'll ever finish a arc quick enough. Early chapters up until 100 had less content per chapter, the pacing was slower and they were a lot less rushed because not much was happening in them in terms of overall storyline.

25. Lack of Killers facial hair appreciation.

^_-

26. Too tight packed panels.

He is cramming a lot into each frame, his artwork is much more looser and detailed then early chapters.

27. Tashigis new colour scheme.

I don't really criticize colour schemes anymore. Oda throws out a rainbow of character colours at times.

28. Strawhats almost losing against weak opponents.

You know the straw Hats are underdogs themselves, loosing to someone who is a underdog themselves balances things out. I don't expect when they reach "point X" they can't fail at all, like most series demonstrate and its nice to have a weaker character try to face up against the SHs.

29. No continoues attacking at resting enemies.

You have DBz to blame for this in all shonen manga... Even OP.

30. Unexplaines abilities.

Most are explained within the world they live in acceptance. :-/

31. Fillers.

Their beyond Oda's control... =_=

32. New timeship character designs.

Some are "okay", like Nami's, Robin's, Luffy's, Zoro's... So far its just Franky's, Chopper and Brookes I have issues with, but hey; notice these are Oda's most "far-out" characters? I think thats why they got more ridiculous outfits.

33. Lack of Women fighting.

Happens in most arcs women fight. Look, females are weaker physically them males, you don't send a woman to do a man's job. One Piece has been fairer then most series in terms of fighting, and some have even been strong foes. But reality is that OP will likely reflect the real world expectations and women fighting is something you won't see all the time. Plus, this is a boys manga...

34. Robins Df being over powered.

And yet she has some big weaknesses. Most of her attacks require tactical placement. If she doesn't something wrong, her powers actually put her at a lot more risk then some realize. She feels every limb; if you stab one she will feel that limbs pain.

35. Lack of logias.

They are the second rarest DF, if we have too many it de-values them. ^_-

36. Arc lengths.

Most last about a year. :-/

37. Boring Jolly rogers.

Okay, story has been going for well over 10 years now, we've got about 100 crews. How many designs for a Pirate flag can you come up with? Go figure the problems Oda faces.

38. Too much whining.

From whom???

39. Lack of major fights.

Which happen every arc...
