One can say the same about Crayon Shin-chan, and...... I dunno-- I think the manga used to sell well before Yoshito Usui died at age 51 in September 11, 2009. The manga would still be on-going if the man was alive, and who knows? It might hit the list among best selling mangas, and some people gonna biatch on its art-style while most the Japanese apparently love the series both as manga and anime. Now One Piece is on the same way.

Its always the controversial and hate inducing topics that gets unnecessary attention...Oh well....

From a neutral standpoint(from someone who dropped OP 3 times before), One Piece honestly has the best shonen story. The mystery, development, foreshadowing, hidden clues and anticipation is what makes the story truly great. The artwork though(especially the beginning) will look REALLY weird if you read other manga with much better artwork like Death Note, Maji, HSDK etc. before you get to OP.

If it is visually unappealing, you abandoned the thing right then and there so I cant blame anyone who says that don't like the art style. Its gets better later on but it takes some getting used to for newcomers.

I've always liked these kind of art styles, it means the author is confident in his story telling and other material, I don't see one piece but compared to it's art style other mangas look like that 10/10 good for nothing except looking and ****ing ho that rely on looks like*cough*fairy tail/tale whatever*cough*

So if someone has a different opinion to yours then that means that person has a sad life?

Lol NB is just too damn funny sometimes.

OT: Oda's art-style is great and unique.
I agree man
Honestly what is wrong with this artstyle? I think it looks fantastic

NB is indeed funny, OP fans can't handle a rant thread because OP has to be perfect.

Look at all those wankers posting who can't handle opinions themselves

Says the guy telling people they have sad lives because they think OP is the best Shounen. Yet has 32,000+ posts since 2012. Troll definitely confirmed.

Same can be said about you, in a thread about art style u go and bash on the fans as well as on the manga, try to stay in topic and be relevant, bashing something doesnt make u look cool rather an annoying prick.

It's all a matter of taste. Simple or detailed, unique or standard, joyful or dark-- only a few words to describe the hundreds and thousands of art styles, stories, and characters out there. It's the same with most, if not all manga. While there's a manga you might find boring compared to the rest, a lot of others might disagree with you. The same goes for art. The same goes for characters. The same goes for everything and anything. You're completely entitled to your own opinion, but arguing about what's best between this and that is borderline pointless. Also, saying you can't take the manga seriously because of its art style, is like saying you can't take a song seriously because of the singer's looks. That's what I think, at least.

The art style in One Piece is definitely my cup of tea.

More than 80% of the story has nothing to do with HXH. Besides there is a difference b/w stealing and getting inspired.
Although you are correct. Kishi owes a lot to Togashi. He stated in an interview that he studied HxH iirc and that characters such as Sasuke was an inspiration of Hiei from YYH.

It's true, some characters design's look weird at times. that is OP's one and only flaw.. Greatest manga of all-time by the time it finishes, what even are you on about ?
