User blog comment:Joekido/Is One Piece getting tiring?/@comment-53539-20140123150048


 * Timeskip = no change: There is a limit built into everyone on how much speed you can develop, intelligence, strength, etc. Personalities will not necessary completely change and a 2 year timeskip will not necessary result in instant removal of all weaknesses in a person in real life.  they grew in strength and fighting capabilities - they are still who they are.
 * Every arc in itself is an adventure. They traveled to a new island, met up with new characters, faced problems and overcome them or whatever else happened during their stay. Adventuring is a fairly broad term, and so long as they continue to travel and continue to have events occur in each place, each place overall is an adventure.
 * Racial = Devil Fruit based; Not every race is a result of a DF, mermaids and fishmen, dwarves, giants... Longarms... longlegs... the sky people. Most of these races are grounded in human possible evolution.  DF's are OP's way of avoiding directly using magic, because magic is difficult to define.  Many stories fail to cap what a person can and can't do with magic, its either overpowered or vague.  But most of all, too many races could get potentially messy.
 * One Piece is still goofy: Nothing wrong with that. Oda piece sells itself on its eccentricity, resulting in a diverse of characters and designs. Without it, it would be like the majority of mangas out there.  Oda said in the past that he based some of the humour on a sort of "tom and Jerry" style antics.
 * Lack of powers:This is One Piece, not Naruto. the more elements you introduce into a series, the harder it gets.  Haki was introduced to explain how non-DF users can compete with DF users, otehrwise things are too out of balance and Oda will have to make EVERYONE who is powerful a DF to explain how they can compete.
 * Lazy naming; Give the guy a break, he has over 400 characters and thats not easy to remember everyone.
 * One Piece: You want spoilers huh? If we know what it is, it will effect how we view the rest of the series.  If OP turns out to be something shubby, then there are more questions raised as to why the crew are still going after it.

Okay the last bit has me confused. You say One Piece is still interesting but what is left? You've thrown out all things that make it stand out and "unique" amongst the popular manga yet you say its interesting? How? How is it interesting, what little is left to make it interesting at this point? Devil Fruits and things like this alone make it just like any manga so you would be just as happy reading DBZ as OP right? when you say some of the reasons that Make OP what it is are boring, then I beg to question why your boring with it.

Gez Joekido, grow up and stop whining, every blog is negative and whiny, if your not complaining about the wikia your complaining about the series. Why are you reading/watching this series at this point? But honestly, no one is forcing you to like One Piece... For Crying out loud, some of your complaints are things you've come to the conclusion on that really are not problems at all and I've seen far worst in other series.

Hell, I have moments where I ave to leaver OP for a few weeks to let the series progress when I'm finding it unmoving. Does it stop me liking the series? No.
