ALT: a picture of a conversation in Teams between two coworkers. One coworker says:

LOL You should read One Piece Its such a good story in such an easy to digest format Too much "good content" is locked behind like super serious overtones Shit gets too heavy too much

the other person responds:

I always scoffed at one piece as it looks completely absurd from the outside. However, once I started watching I couldnt stop. It IS absurd, but in a great and genuine way. Worldbuilding is awesome and the characters are hilariously idiosyncratic. Big thumbs up.

that's what this fucking guy keeps telling me. I'll cave eventually and watch it

It has that curse of It Gets Better Later™, I say this as a genuine fan of the anime.

It goes into surprisingly poignant commentaries on social injustices like supremecist hate groups and slavery.

But if you don't like silly rubber guy doing silly things then it won't be worth your trouble.

One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you're a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it's misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.

For the One Piece fans here, I'm getting the impression that it's like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we're watching that next for sure.
