Mimosa definitely fits Asta better. Although Idk if there's gonna be romance in this anime, I wish it would be her instead of Noelle.

Sister Lily FTW.

But yea, I agree with you there. But it's still really hard to choose between Mimosa and Noelle since they both really care for Asta and both of them are very lovely in their own ways. I honestly would prefer that the unrequited love continue than seeing one of them (or both in worst case scenario) sad because of Asta.

I don't.
I dropped One Piece for that reason and if this falls into the same cesspit then I'll drop this too.
I'm frustrated when relationships in shounen anime blueball the viewers, like it's offensive to show romance to young people or something...

btw one piece doesnt have romance get some help bro.

That's exactly what I mean...
It constantly eluded to it and gave innumerable chances for it to emerge, but it never does because "Luffy is in love with aDvEnTuRe"... That fishface on legs can screw a dirt road to his hearts content, but don't expect me to watch it.

luffy or one piece doesnt need love its shounen. as an example naruto marries when he becomes hokage. you shouldnt be searching for love in one piece thats not a reason to not watch it bro xd. i dont know what episode you are on but if you dont like shounen you dont need to watch it. one of the best shounen tho.

Then why does it have it anyway? Boa is in love with Luffy. But apparently that'll never be realized due to what I said already.
That's why it's annoying, don't just have something in there that you'll never acknowledge. A loose end, one might call it. In any other case, you'd call that a plothole, but I guess I angered some fanboys, huh?

Though personally, when it comes to One Piece, I kinda have to look for something else other than the theme in it to be interested. Because I think pirates are super boring and mainly the fact, that I knew beforehand that apparently it's being stretched to shit because they still haven't F*CKING FOUND THE ONE PIECE... This anime started a year before I was even born, for f*ck's sake, how can you in good conscience call that: "one of the best"?
This in mind, it makes the unrealized relationship holes even more gaped...

bruh im not angered at all first of all luffy rejects boa after timeskip and like i said dont watch it if you dont like it one of the best is just my opinion. didnt know you were toxic.you are still searching for romance in one piece dude really get some help. i dont like the pacing in the anime too no one likes it. its ok to not like pirates if you are not interested dont watch it. btw when they find one piece it will be sad and the anime will end so idk why you would want that at least not you but one piece fans will be sad. Sorry but i hate guys like you i recommend that you shouldnt watch shounen because you dont get it at all just dont watch one piece not for you dude.

Aye

Well, I didn't know that he rejects her, but I fail to see how it's in any way counter to my point. And yea... that's exactly what I did... I stopped watching it 2 years ago after getting like 50 episodes in when I read about it and found that^ gem of a line: "Luffy is in love with Adventure". Sounded like the most pretentious thing ever, made to justify it's dragging nature.
I wouldn't say I'm toxic, I'm argumentative and the fact you don't even engage with my point, but still imply that I'm wrong and I should just stfu and gtfo, isn't exactly a smooth conversation. You can't expect me to have the patience of a saint, when you literally have nothing to add to the conversation anyway and still insert yourself into it because I insulted your favorite show.

23 years after and the show is still ongoing. And that's apparently not an indication of it being totally milked to the last drop...

its ok people have diffrent opinions i wouldnt say he is in love with adventure hes not a kid anymore some people wants it to end and some people dont i just want it to be faster because its really slow. i just finished rewatching black clover its not like one piece is the only thing that is my favourite :)

Yeah, it's okay to have different opinions... until someone says them out loud when you're in earshot, am I right? That's when they should just be quiet and keep it to themselves...
But anyway, the quote that I found that said that, was apparently a direct quote from the author when asking about romantic interests. So I doubt It'll actually be any different no matter how old he is, or how many more decades the show still decides to go for.
I also kinda like as well, how you also want it to go faster... seems like even you are getting frustrated, huh?

i think the show will end in like ep 1600+ we are on final saga (on manga i dont read it but i know it)im not getting frustrated because every ep gives me hype for some reason even if you didnt read manga you wont know about the pacing i dont hate it because i didnt read the manga, i can feel it getting slow tho after watching like 80+ anime.

It's pointless to argue with them. Bro is seething and definitely spends most of his time being toxic here cuz he cant make friends in the real world. Just reading through a whole paragraph just to justify himself proves that everything I've said are true.

Yeah, just dismiss me as a lowlife, because I don't like your favorite show. Says more about you than me, honestly. Mad projection.
Don't want me to argue against you? You know what you can do? You don't have to talk to me. Simple as that.

"Just reading through a whole paragraph just to justify himself proves that everything I've said are true" What do you even mean by that? Is me reading through the responses given to me, somehow an indictment against my character? Didn't know reading was still so frowned upon in 2023...

A difference in tolerance then, I suppose. That kind of drag just doesn't sit right with me, especially when it's not even worth the wait since they don't even deliver on a lot of satisfying points that others do.
Like, I've already watched shounens like Naruto and DB(one of which started and finished with far more story than One Piece as it was still ongoing, which is funny.). What on earth, after all that, could possibly draw people towards One Piece? I just don't get it. Why on earth would I want to watch OG Fairy Tail, when I've already seen far better?
You do you, though. This whole spat was pointless anyway.

please realize that whilst you are not alone.
You are vastly out numbered in that arguement you presented. People watch One piece because of it's carefree, Fun, Awesome and the Original Ideas it holds.(And others are just perverts)
One piece isn't meant to be a romance novel/Anime. If you want to see romance just head on over to fanfiction or wattpad. And you'll be begging for no love before you know it

"You are vastly out numbered" F*cking hell, are you serious? My opinions are not a democracy. If you don't agree, fine. I don't care.

And if I want something IN THE SHOWS I WATCH, doesn't mean it's a good substitute to then just go search for it elsewhere where I don't want to see it, like fanfic sites. With your logic, why watch an educational show of any kind, when you can just Google it and read some words on a screen? How fun!
Baby's first media take, I swear to god...

Just drop it bro, no one has ever won an argument with anime fandoms.

I swear, some people would literally die for their favorite anime, rather than for some life impacting real world issue.

But, yeah, One Piece is nothing special, but some people in that fandom are special... cases, I mean.

Seeing as this spat was had half a year ago, I'd say I was pretty successful in dropping it.

Did you won the argument though? My point still stands, If I can say so.

I am not under any illusion that internet arguments "win" me anything ever, because I'd be incredibly sad if I thought so. I only do it because I enjoy it for some reason and because I'm autistic or something, I guess...
What would even be the win-condition here? That I changed their mind about liking One Piece, because I just hate it THAT MUCH? I can be pretty petty, but I'm not THAT petty.

Yeah, that was mostly rhetorical question, but, sometimes you just can't resist to troll that cultish behaviour some if not all fans have towards their favorite works.

It is also true that on the internet, there are no wins or loses in debates, at least because no one really admits the defeat anyway.

So, yeah, whatever.

True and real.
Though picking your targets to be something you actually have an opinion about when it comes to "trolling" them is the important part. Since it always makes them the most mad, when it's clear you think you have an actual sincere point.
So basically just saying your opinion and relishing in people disagreeing with it, is the right way to do it.

What is the definition of "Chaotic Neutral" again?

"Based", I'm pretty sure.

Fishface on legs?

Please don't insult another persons life's work. It is degrading and not needed.

Actually, he is kinda right, Oda's art, although funny looking, isn't something to write home about.

You know what's more pathetic than being offended at a mild joke?
Being offended at a mild joke, on BEHALF of someone else...

don't make an excuse just say u hate this anime and one piece because there's no romance and just say u like romance anime not this kind of anime

I don't hate Black Clover. I'm capable of watching it(despite saying I'd drop it. Should've added a "probably" in there), because it has a theme I like. It just has this other part of it which I dislike, whilst One Piece's theme sucks in my opinion AND it has this other thing too, making it a nail in the coffin.
I'm sorry for having a nuanced opinion on something, though. I know it's difficult to deal with. I'll try to take idiots into account next time.

i was this anime lover until i saw one piece, its level is totally diff and the giant series that'll always be above this.
asta will never win against luffy and even though noelle rocks this show and takes this anime to another level a giant like robin is there.
this anime romance's will bloom in last arc and its noelle.....
about boa and luffy you never know.

Did you at least get paid to say that opinion?

Somewhere I read About how people are fine to have opinions.
Until someone voices them.
does it sound familiar?

I'm making a joke about it sounding like a sponsored message...
You really are completely incapable of perceiving humor...

It's either an insult, or a completely serious answer and nothing else. I agree.

no after witnessing both anime's and its manga in all seriousness. op>>> bc.
both i've watched more than 3 times but op keeps drawing me in even now i wish i could rewatch and thrist for baratei, arlong, town of beginning, alabasta, skypea, water7, ennies lobby, thriller bark, saboudy, impel down, marineford but bc i think i can't take anymore..i even left the manga in between last arc.
it had just started after wano from op and in all seriousness i nearly got a headache.

Great.

i got eye cancer from all that

Glad to be of service.

Both? you don't like that?
Well honestly I kinda agree with ya.
I love reading about multiple partners, or love interests.
But I think that my want for no people to be left out is for them to be as happy they could possibly be

Can you put a fucking spoiler tag

It's not a spoiler, so it's not needed.

Stop spoiling.

Not a spoiler.

i hear the drum hahaha

nah he will not. For him being a true lover sister lily is the only answer

go read manga last arc.

ya ikr and in the Manga I, if this is true or edit but yuno said that lucifero will Frick sister lily if lucifero didn't die HAHAHQ

wait... is that official in the manga already??? Its been a while since I've read the manga so im not really up to date with things.
