just so you know, Luffy isn't an A*hole per say, He is just straight honest and blurts out what comes to his head. But too much honesty without filter sometimes can be bad
The panel with *redacted* when he displayed *redacted* even though it was SO SMALL, I cried real life tears fod a moment cause he came SO FAR. I could BARELY SEE IT but I CRIED at such a STUPID SMALL PANEL because I remember when he was a wee lad 😭 and I'm not a crier!!! Well, except for One Piece. It's got me way more than any other piece of media.
I can’t put into words the joy I felt at seeing you react to this. One Piece means SO MUCH to me and I’ve loved your content for a while now so I’m just so happy to see you react to this!
Luffy is brutally honest, care free, strong, loyal, smarter than he lets on (usually in battle), always thinks about food and being King of the Pirates. He has no sense of direction and doesn't really care how strong anybody is, he's willing to die in search of the One Piece. He's normally very simple and direct in his approach too.
Well, Luffy is actually a total idiot, but he's got great fighting sense (hence his smart fighting) and very smart emotionally, which is why he's great at reading people and seems to always know what to do and say with the people he care about. But overall, he is an idiot!
Based on how you reviewed the first episode and the aspects of the story you addressed, I can already tell One Piece WILL be one of your favourite pieces of fiction.
Many say you need to get to Baratie or Arlong to get hooked, but that moment where Luffy called Koby a coward and said he hates him while laughing was the moment I was sold
This story means the world to me. You’ll be surprised at how deep it’s willing to go. It just builds up gradually. You’re in for a journey! Welcome on board! Subscribed
I've been so hyped for this, you have no idea. I enjoy watching reactors experience One Piece for the first time, but nobody else really breaks it down like you do. I'm liking and commenting and all the stuff because I really want you to continue. To answer your question: Luffy is 17 at this point. Also, fun fact: the name of Alvida's ship is the Love Duck.
This is now the fifth one piece anime reaction series I am following, and I have to say, I love how every reactor has a different take on the series, different energies and interpretations. I have to admit though I am pretty severely addicted to this media at this point :p Thanks for sharing your perspective!!
One Piece is a hilarious, heart warming, hype inducing, lore heavy, masterpiece. It takes time for the world to open up but it definitely goes very interesting places and tackles a lot of heavy topics. It's, for sure, worth the time investment. I'm along for the ride so I hope you like it!
Don't worry, Loony Toons is a very apt descriptor. There's no negative connotation on either side to call One Piece similar to LT. But you did wonder if it can get deep - yes. The previous pirate king found the One Piece, which is a legendary treasure that sent pirates to the seas. Oh, don't worry, the Live Action does fit the vibe, but so does the start. It's that kind of flexible.
I'm so pumped for you nerdy! By what I got from you on this episode you've loved the following: Humor Musical score Concise character introduction And based on your love for lore and fantasy in general I'm pretty sure you're gonna have a blast. Also I hope Claroos eventually joins up with you because I love it when you both go deep diving into story themes and One Piece has no shortage on those.
Was surprised to see you start this really, this is one of my favourite series, I might even say it’s actually a modern classic. I like when you said it’s just a vibe and if you are having fun now, it definitely feels like you will like what will be coming up. One of the biggest questions I have is whether this episode is the best beginning or episode 4 which is where the original manga started with.
It's so good that you know nothing, be careful to avoid spoilers as best as you can! I was spoiled about some important things, but they still hit hard and surprised me, and that's just proof of the amazing writing One Piece has! If you end up watching the full series, you can skip most of the filler if you feel like it, except the G8 arc, it's really fun. Man, I'm so happy for you, I wish I could experience One Piece again for the first time! When it comes to the points you made baout good/evil, you'll get those questions answered very extensively, and it's one of the best things about One Piece.
So excited for your journey. The opening arc is definitely more straightforward, but don't expect it to stay that way. The world-building is remarkable with this story.
The best thing about One Piece is seeing the characters you meet in episode 1 or early episodes on and see where they are now in the story as well as the state of affairs around the world as they change
This show will have some slow points, especially in the anime, but if you stick with it, it will be one of the most rewarding stories you will have ever watched. Also, Luffy is 17.
I'm sure I can speak for most people especially those who are caught up with the manga, PLEASE COMMIT TO THIS! It's a great great story but it's even cooler watching someone watch it for the first time. If you commit to this you'll witness greatness. And I'll for sure be here to watch that journey JUST SAYIN.
I'm halfway through the Arabasta arc and I defintely agree that the first 130 episodes of the show are pretty much just the setup for everything that comes after (I have some idea of what happens after because I'm active in anime spaces and people spoil a lot of stuff lol)
I always say this, but One Piece is a vibe. It is fun and adventurous and epic, but most importantly it's a vibe. Also it's one of the only pieces of fiction(movies, tv series, manga, books, anime etc) that it just keeps getting better and better and better. Today is the 26 anniversary of the manga, yet the last few chapters/episodes were some of the best in the series. For me One Piece is the epitomy of adventure and fun. I can't wait to watch the rest of your reactions!
My guy y’all are really in for a ride, just wait for ep 37, got me obsessed with it and took me 7 months to catch up with all the episodes. You’ll definitely enjoy it
@@Tayy_B I’m looking forward to it. I want to be further than the live action when it comes out, any idea how far I should get to cover everything in the first season of the live action?
@@TheOriginalEO13 I'd say past episode 62 since that's right after they enter the grand line and I believe the Live action is where it ends for the first season so you're close to halfway there or more so by now so it shouldn't take you much
Bro, you have correctly called a hauntingly impressivr amount of things out the gate after one episode. You have to keep watching, this story will please you greatly. Imma subscribe!
So happy to find a new youtuber getting on the One Piece vibes! I can say without spoiling anything, essentially getting the one piece doesn't automatically make you the king of the pirates, but the one who accomplished to find the one piece has earned the title.
Nerdy in episode 1, calmly: "Luffy, don't hit people, in general." Also Nerdy, ~35 episodes later, in murderous rage: "I want you to break his face and kill him until he is dead!" ... That escalated quickly.
Another new fellow member into this adventure ! If this isn't really good for the channel (which I think will be) try to complete the journey on your own, it will be completely worth it. Just one thing; all characters or most of them are intended to be drawn and design in a goofy or extravagant way, the creator wanted to draw something new, original and something that cannot be forgotten so, you will have tons of weird things infront of this journey. Enjoy!
Its worth the time.......I wish I could restart my OP memory section so I can rediscover it all again its soo good. That feeling of the ending of the first episode showing zoro gave me the original feeling I had the first time I ever watched it. No research or anything I just hopped right in OP with no one telling me whats it is. I didn't have any spoilers so this made the experience 10/10! Im now waiting for the 1070th episode with the last few episodes in the 1060s were some of the best fights.
Crazy hyped to see you watching this. As impossible as it seems, i really hope we get to see you watch the whole show. Even if that would take literally 20+ years😂
Looking forward to watching your reaction so much! One Piece is an absurdist piece of fun that will make you cry when it suddenly goes serious on you and I love it for that. It certainly has its flaws that can be frustrating, but it has so much heart that it absolutely makes up for them imo. Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it! (And also: Yeah, I have exactly the same reaction to the music as you, it just makes me happy. :D)
I’ve been watching anime for 25 years now. I watch all kinds of anime. One Piece to this day is still my all time favorite. Is it perfect? No, but it’s the one that entertains and gets me hype the most. This show will make you shed tears of sadness and tears of happiness.
You're a small youtube channel but the One piece Community will be out in full support, we all love seeing new watchers. your channel might blow up on your journey. With that said you might want to block your channel for japan as Toei animations tends to do Copyright strikes and delete whole episodes from channels, even if it is fair use, so I advise taking a look into how to go about that.
With this being the first video I watched from u it rly surprised me how well u articulated ur thoughts at the end and how much insight u showed. Genuinely looking forward to the next reaction now. Pls don't let us wait to long for it.
Luffy is 17. Coby is a bit younger (he's 15 i believe?). (it was not a goose but a swan. Ahaha~) Also you're kinda right, there're a lot of political intrigues, racial disputes, and so on. It's just opens up slowly. Every of your question is gonna be answered eventually (by the end of episode 65 for sure), and there the new questions will rise, and you'll get your answers to them as well. There're some questions that still left without answers even after 1000 episides, but we know those will be answered eventually too. So we're just waiting and enjoying the show.
If you have any questions watching this, take solace in the fact that Oda is an impeccable story writer and small details come back later in the most amazing ways. Questions will be answered. I hope you enjoy and continue the story; I've been following it since i was in middle school. Im 31 now and it's still a super beloved story to me!
@@finn9871 I just take issue with the gravity of that comment like "if you have any questions take solace" like wtf kinda question is there to be answered. If is Luffy 12? "Well take solace Oda is an impeccable writer so he'd reveal he's actually 17yo in episode 8". It's a straight forward easy going adventure story for kids and he talks about it like it's some Dostoevsky and stuff. "Questions will be answered." Jesus Christ some people are cringe... You know what questions i want to be answered? Why was Garp wearing a silly dog hat at one point and then we never hear about that ever again. Tell me that OP. When will i get my solace in my question being answered. It already been over 1000 episodes
I’ve just convinced my sister to watch One Piece for the first time. It’s long, but once you get to a certain part you’re hooked. It’s a great show with amazing writing!
I´m halfway through the video, and I am caught up with the anime (not the manga) and this is FANTASTIC! I still remember watching the first episodes in 2013 and watching someone else re-live this absolute joy is incredible. Please absolutely continue this series, and you could also consider once you´re past Arlong Park to do one or two videos of highlights per arc to make it more managable on the viewers! (I hope a suggestion isn´t offensive or anything) ETA: the fact that you specifically mention "looney toons" right there as a random reference is absolutely WILD to me knowing what Oda (the creator) has just stated in an interview.
glad u enjoyed the very first episode!! my best advice for people who have just started OP is to be impatient and have fun along the journey since there are tons of episodes and the pace is slower than most of other animes:) and to be honest there are jokes in this show (like the fatshaming u mentioned) are quite... for me, but i try to not care so much about them, though i understand ur feelings 😭 what's your plan for further updates for the series?
Well the Pirate King left his treasure called the One Piece, which resulted in creating and leading an era of piracy, which drove pirates all over the world to find it
It’s such a fun show and the world building expands along with understanding of the characters’ true pasts and proverbial baggage and how all of it goes with their character development where dialogue will completely recontextualise events from 900 chapters before into something completely different… I definitely recommend starting with this through episode 4 or 5 cause that’s the intro to koby/saving koby meeting important characters story arc that’s just a small intro to a bunch of things which each set of mini story arcs reveal about the characters… but you’re only able to assume or guess things til it shocks you with short dialogue and maybe a small flashback… But definitely worth watching the earlier arcs in chunks… later you kinda Need bigger chunks of it… but episode one isn’t even where the manga starts… they moved some things for the sake of flow or something but it works this way Enjoy the ride man… someone in a one piece tuber discussion server dropped link to your vid with positive reviews and honestly I can Tell already you’re gonna get what you desire and more from the impression you’ve given… Welcome aboard man! Its a helluva ride… The world govt in the story is Almost as bad as the Real Life World Government which probably inspires much of the narrative… but don’t speculate that heavy til way later when you live off wild theories hehe some come true but some are completely different than most normal speculations… Oda has a lot of fun with the audience’s expectations and beliefs and you really see more looking back the more you know from the story… Can’t recommend reading the manga casually enough cause you’ll probably burn through it quick! It’s hard to stop in some places and you always know at some points it’s going to be “peak fiction” as I frequently hear exclaimed around… well most chapters past year hehe A lot of your initial thoughts will seem funny later on cause of some things you thought that are like a way lighter vanilla version of what Oda has coming over the next few hundred chapters or so… even in east blue a lot of important stuff gets done that parallels elements of things later in ways no one realises til it’s pointed out… So much happens so quickly though the live action has chopped the arc down to a few hours somehow and I don’t know how well it’ll sell the story but It probably will get people Really enjoying the anime or manga as a result… Such a fun ride the start of the story… which I can’t even use the appropriate words to characterise the Grandeur of it because of Spoilers and so on hehe but you don’t need to know that stuff for a while I’d imagine hehehe Really have fun with this story man! It’s a battle comedy that gets way more serious and dramatic while the humour always carries on as the narrative evolves with the understanding of the world… I really doubt you’d be disappointed from what you already seem to think so Just keep Vivian with the memorable soundtrack yeah?! : D
Also hit the subscribe button at the start when you mentioned the switch up in content so that you'd be compliant with the strike. Labor solidarity is a damn good look and happy to watch vids from someone who cares about solidarity among the working class.
“The music in this show is so good” bruh that’s an understatement, One Piece has some of the best ost in not just anime, but pretty much in anything that’s fictional entertainment
One thing people find confusing when I say I don't really care about the show but LOVE the author is that I mean I am really impressed with the author. Like the techniques he is using and ALL the frigging references and how much knowledge he has about the world is incredibly impressive. I have really tried to find a book I like from I was little, just a person/author that impresses me. And I am always a person who wants more from the sunrise. And what I love and is impressed about is that its one big story, while other authors tend to split it up in sections and just continue for the money or something. This was planned out when the author was 20 and more than 20 more years in the future. We see characters in the first 10 episodes that doesn't really get a proper introduction or are explained why they are there until hundreds of episodes later. And that's with hundreds of characters too. If your down with storytelling and techniques in that era you will be embarrassed to have called any other author "geniuses"
It DEFINITELY has that depth. This is a story about found family, tyrannical governments, lost history and just... adventure. It's all one long story that meshes together perfectly, while fleshing out the wider world that is so much more dark then you'll realize for a LONG time.
Woho, Found Nerdy thanks to the wheel of time, now I'm staying thanks to the rubberman pirate Monkey D Luffy. I hope Nerdy will keep having a good time with One piece and I know that I will watch the videos untill Nerdy either finnish the anime when it is complete or he say's he's not going to continue watching for any reason
Welcome to the show that is second on the list just after Superman. I love this show you can be happy and then have different feelings. Also it has lots of things that in our world. I will always love this show.
Omg this feel nostalgic can't wait to see ur reactions and see u fall in love with it just please stick with it it's awesome it's amazing it's rewarding it everything
One Piece is one of my favorite stories ever. idk how Oda does it, but you get so attached to these characters so quickly that you feel like you're watching people you've known your whole life
Trust me, this anime/manga has one of the most in depth stories out there. I can honestly say that it almost tackles every topic there is and it affects the whole story.
One piece means so much to me and I’m happy to see so many people react to it and I’m here for it. The first episode is very different from the first chapter of the manga which is much better but still I like it a lot! It is one of the greatest stories that I have ever read/watched/heard. And really glad you feel like going even if the not for the views! Will watch the next ep of your reactions though!
One Piece is hard to nail down as truly any one things aside, perhaps, as a story about adventure. On the one hand it is absolutely a silly, goofy, fun show about pirates with gimmicks. On the other hand, it's a story that has some of the greatest world building, emotional beats, and poignant commentary on the real world that you're likely to find in almost any piece of media. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that One Piece is a modern day epic in every way except that it isn't a poem. There are parts of this series in which I swear it is absolutely not meant for kids because of how deep and heavy the material gets. And yet, despite that, it never loses its sense of humor, the child-like wonder, and the sheer joy and fun of going on an adventure. And while the story takes a little bit to really find its feet and showcase what it's truly capable of, even the first few arcs are still lots of fun and very entertaining. Just realize that, as superficial and light as the show may seem at first, it is really only scratching the surface of what it's capable of ... and yet still never loses the charm and fun that is clearly on the tin.
Super glad you enjoyed this one - I can understand where you're coming from with FMA's contrast between exaggerated expressions for comedy and serious dark moments (though it works for me), all I'll say it that I think OP's serious moments (when they come) might work better for you because they stay in that exaggerated style and apply it to dramatic moments, rather than whiplashing between two vastly contrasting styles. We'll see though.
i start watching one piece when i was 10 or 11 years old using cd that my brother bought from his friend. now im 30. i still watch it with wonder and excitement like im 10 all over again. i love the manga, i love the anime. i love every single member and i love the writer. i hope you will enjoy your journey with one piece. its gonna b a long ride.
God I hope this goes well, I had it on in January cause I needed a background show and wanted something I didn't think I'd be interested in. Ended up falling in love with it, watched the whole series, cried multiple times.
Very important! Have. Fun. One piece is just fun, its childish fun. It can be serious, it can be emotional, but its always an adventure. Btw, prob need to do more than 1 episode, it used to air with like 4 or 5 episodes a day back to back. The format fits the early season the best. 1 ep per vid only rly works in the very late seasons
Trust me, if you keep reacting to One Piece people will show up lol even if you've seen the whole thing, rewatching it with the perspective of someone who hasnt experienced it before never gets old. Some of the most powerful moments in anime history
If you go into this expecting a fun adventure, it definitely delivers. I really hope you have a good time reacting to this 💜💜 even if you don't get all the way, I think every one should say least give it a go xD
1997 so 90's but yeah. This anime is just PURE ADVENTURE. Enter "That's a woman?" Meme for Alvida 😂 You'd be surprised but Oda actually changed quiet a bit how the anime opens up with them being out on sea as opposed to the manga. Luffy is the same age as Oda when Oda first became a mangaka writer, 17. Hope you enjoyed the ride in this amazing and long story. 😁🍻🍖👒
Another Nakama I can't wait to see how far you go, one piece is an amazing ride to go on that you won't regret investing the time in. The best advice any One Piece fan can give to someone new starting the show is just go until episode 45 to decide if your in for the long haul or not but trust me it's worth it This whole 1,000 plus episode show has been created by one guy Echiro Oda who the fans lovingly call GOda for his amazing writing abilities
This starts the slow decent into one piece, it'll make you laugh and cry from the wildest things and before you know it Oda has you and then you'll become One of us. One of us. One of us.
Luffy’s alignment is hard to pin down. It is somewhere between chaotic neutral and chaotic good, but he does some lawful neutral things too. Also, the name of Alvida’s ship is the “Ms Love Duck” which I don’t even know why I think is so fantastic.
hope you continue watching this ps. you said that nami hadn't have a line in the episode. it has a reason, see in the manga she appears first in the second story arc (orange town) so all her apreance in the first story arc ( romance dawn ep 1-4) ARE TECHNICALLY FILLER
People say that One Piece has a lot of filler? It's like... 9% filler out of 1070 episodes and 20 seasons isn't even close to a lot. They definitely do drag out some scenes in the anime though. Maybe that's what they mean? But that's... Fluff. Not filler.
Nerdy gets it! I'm currently in the middle of the manga and I haven't properly seen the anime outside of a couple of episodes, but this is a great first episode to set the tone of what One Piece can be like some of the time. It's an especially great introduction to Luffy, Coby, and Nami.
Cool. Thats what i like to see with various reactors in that they are genuinely open to their impressions. Its fun to see genuine liking or dislike of a show🙂😁
Great reaction for the 1st episode I would say.. And so you really pause when talking?! Nice bro👍🏻 People rarely doing that and they miss a lot of subtle foreshadow because they talk too much and never pause😭 It's always nice seeing new reactors react to One Piece, I'm obsessed with One Piece that I keep watching One Piece reaction like from 20-30 reactors or probably more🤣🤣🤣 I'm a bit slow to catch up on foreshadow and plot twist, so it's nice to see other people get it on the first watch, it's always mind blowing for me🔥 I'm the person that need to rewatching like 2-3 times to understand complicated things (complicated from my perspective btw) Watching anime reactions actually help me to understand more and appreciate more about the music, animation style, the arts and people in comments also sharing something from manga, I appreciate that a lot💜 So thank you🥰
“If no one watches this” ahahhahaha do you know how much one piece fans love watching people watching the show for the first time. So we can live vicariously thru yall
First of all, welcome to the One Piece crew! Hope you enjoy the cruise. One Piece has an excellent sense of balance between silly nonsense and deep moments/topics. You'll see glimpses of that in the next few story arcs, but it'll be one specific arc (which the live action's first season will climax with) where you'll see that balance in full. Its usually at that point where people go All-In on the series.

Luffy is brutally honest, care free, strong, loyal, smarter than he lets on (usually in battle), always thinks about food and being King of the Pirates.
He has no sense of direction and doesn't really care how strong anybody is, he's willing to die in search of the One Piece.
He's normally very simple and direct in his approach too.
Aside from the usual shonen protag battle IQ, Luffy also has moments of being extremely emotionally intelligent
Wait no, Zoro's the one with no sense of direction. :P Otherwise spot on.
@@LPTheGas They are both pretty bad at it.
@@LPTheGasactually where he is now Zoro does have a sense of direction but later on his sense of direction gets worse and worse
Well, Luffy is actually a total idiot, but he's got great fighting sense (hence his smart fighting) and very smart emotionally, which is why he's great at reading people and seems to always know what to do and say with the people he care about. But overall, he is an idiot!
Based on how you reviewed the first episode and the aspects of the story you addressed, I can already tell One Piece WILL be one of your favourite pieces of fiction.
I'm so excited for him to see the payoffs to all of these things he's catching onto after only 1 episode
Many say you need to get to Baratie or Arlong to get hooked, but that moment where Luffy called Koby a coward and said he hates him while laughing was the moment I was sold
same here! luffy was instantly so interesting to me lol
@@ratm1lkkk487 right? I was like “ok so the MC is the absolute man, as long as this story doesn’t suck I’m in”

Don't worry, Loony Toons is a very apt descriptor. There's no negative connotation on either side to call One Piece similar to LT. But you did wonder if it can get deep - yes.
The previous pirate king found the One Piece, which is a legendary treasure that sent pirates to the seas.
Oh, don't worry, the Live Action does fit the vibe, but so does the start. It's that kind of flexible.
Great reaction!
Luffy is 17 at the start of the anime/manga.
I'm so pumped for you nerdy! By what I got from you on this episode you've loved the following:
Humor
Musical score
Concise character introduction
And based on your love for lore and fantasy in general I'm pretty sure you're gonna have a blast.
Also I hope Claroos eventually joins up with you because I love it when you both go deep diving into story themes and One Piece has no shortage on those.

I'm halfway through the Arabasta arc and I defintely agree that the first 130 episodes of the show are pretty much just the setup for everything that comes after (I have some idea of what happens after because I'm active in anime spaces and people spoil a lot of stuff lol)
I always say this, but One Piece is a vibe. It is fun and adventurous and epic, but most importantly it's a vibe. Also it's one of the only pieces of fiction(movies, tv series, manga, books, anime etc) that it just keeps getting better and better and better. Today is the 26 anniversary of the manga, yet the last few chapters/episodes were some of the best in the series. For me One Piece is the epitomy of adventure and fun.
I can't wait to watch the rest of your reactions!
Nakama que se une a esta aventura, Nakama que sigo. 😁
Me encantó su reacción, espero que disfrute muchísimo de la serie. ❤
I just started One Piece too. Episode 20 rn, I really hope you continue these reactions, I’d love to watch it alongside you!
My guy y’all are really in for a ride, just wait for ep 37, got me obsessed with it and took me 7 months to catch up with all the episodes. You’ll definitely enjoy it
@@Tayy_B I’m looking forward to it. I want to be further than the live action when it comes out, any idea how far I should get to cover everything in the first season of the live action?
@@TheOriginalEO13 I'd say past episode 62 since that's right after they enter the grand line and I believe the Live action is where it ends for the first season so you're close to halfway there or more so by now so it shouldn't take you much
Bro, you have correctly called a hauntingly impressivr amount of things out the gate after one episode. You have to keep watching, this story will please you greatly. Imma subscribe!
So happy to find a new youtuber getting on the One Piece vibes! I can say without spoiling anything, essentially getting the one piece doesn't automatically make you the king of the pirates, but the one who accomplished to find the one piece has earned the title.
Nerdy in episode 1, calmly: "Luffy, don't hit people, in general."
Also Nerdy, ~35 episodes later, in murderous rage:
"I want you to break his face and kill him until he is dead!"
... That escalated quickly.
lol YUP
@@nerdydaily It's the One Piece experience 🤣
Another new fellow member into this adventure ! If this isn't really good for the channel (which I think will be) try to complete the journey on your own, it will be completely worth it. Just one thing; all characters or most of them are intended to be drawn and design in a goofy or extravagant way, the creator wanted to draw something new, original and something that cannot be forgotten so, you will have tons of weird things infront of this journey. Enjoy!
With the YT algorithm, these will be your most watched videos. One Piece fans unite to watch you react.
Its worth the time.......I wish I could restart my OP memory section so I can rediscover it all again its soo good. That feeling of the ending of the first episode showing zoro gave me the original feeling I had the first time I ever watched it. No research or anything I just hopped right in OP with no one telling me whats it is. I didn't have any spoilers so this made the experience 10/10! Im now waiting for the 1070th episode with the last few episodes in the 1060s were some of the best fights.
Crazy hyped to see you watching this. As impossible as it seems, i really hope we get to see you watch the whole show. Even if that would take literally 20+ years😂
Came here after watching your live action watchthtrough. This is the best adventure in existence. Glad to have you along with us to enjoy it.
Looking forward to watching your reaction so much! One Piece is an absurdist piece of fun that will make you cry when it suddenly goes serious on you and I love it for that. It certainly has its flaws that can be frustrating, but it has so much heart that it absolutely makes up for them imo. Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts about it! (And also: Yeah, I have exactly the same reaction to the music as you, it just makes me happy. :D)
Excited for you man! Can’t wait to see more. Truly one of a kind story.
I really liked your insights and I was honestly impressed but how well you grokked what the series is all about so quickly.
I’ve been watching anime for 25 years now. I watch all kinds of anime. One Piece to this day is still my all time favorite. Is it perfect? No, but it’s the one that entertains and gets me hype the most. This show will make you shed tears of sadness and tears of happiness.
I do miss some of the gutbusting laughs you could get in earlier arcs though, like the Laboon arc.
You're a small youtube channel but the One piece Community will be out in full support, we all love seeing new watchers. your channel might blow up on your journey.
With that said you might want to block your channel for japan as Toei animations tends to do Copyright strikes and delete whole episodes from channels, even if it is fair use, so I advise taking a look into how to go about that.
With this being the first video I watched from u it rly surprised me how well u articulated ur thoughts at the end and how much insight u showed. Genuinely looking forward to the next reaction now. Pls don't let us wait to long for it.
Luffy is 17. Coby is a bit younger (he's 15 i believe?).
(it was not a goose but a swan. Ahaha~)
Also you're kinda right, there're a lot of political intrigues, racial disputes, and so on. It's just opens up slowly. Every of your question is gonna be answered eventually (by the end of episode 65 for sure), and there the new questions will rise, and you'll get your answers to them as well. There're some questions that still left without answers even after 1000 episides, but we know those will be answered eventually too. So we're just waiting and enjoying the show.
If you have any questions watching this, take solace in the fact that Oda is an impeccable story writer and small details come back later in the most amazing ways. Questions will be answered.
I hope you enjoy and continue the story; I've been following it since i was in middle school. Im 31 now and it's still a super beloved story to me!
it's a f***ing anime for kids, what kind of questions could he have.
@@meciocioyou haven't seen it have you?
@@finn9871 No i'm up to date, can't wait to see Gear 5 next week
@@meciocio then how can you say you have no questions? there are multiple mysteries in the lore that everyone wants answers to
@@finn9871 I just take issue with the gravity of that comment like "if you have any questions take solace" like wtf kinda question is there to be answered. If is Luffy 12? "Well take solace Oda is an impeccable writer so he'd reveal he's actually 17yo in episode 8". It's a straight forward easy going adventure story for kids and he talks about it like it's some Dostoevsky and stuff.
"Questions will be answered." Jesus Christ some people are cringe...
You know what questions i want to be answered? Why was Garp wearing a silly dog hat at one point and then we never hear about that ever again. Tell me that OP. When will i get my solace in my question being answered. It already been over 1000 episodes
Welcome to the One piece family. I am so glad you liked it. Because I also enjoyed watching One Piece since the beginning.
This show goes from silly to sad to just plain heartwarming!
I’ve just convinced my sister to watch One Piece for the first time. It’s long, but once you get to a certain part you’re hooked. It’s a great show with amazing writing!
I´m halfway through the video, and I am caught up with the anime (not the manga) and this is FANTASTIC!
I still remember watching the first episodes in 2013 and watching someone else re-live this absolute joy is incredible.
Please absolutely continue this series, and you could also consider once you´re past Arlong Park to do one or two videos of highlights per arc to make it more managable on the viewers!
(I hope a suggestion isn´t offensive or anything)
ETA: the fact that you specifically mention "looney toons" right there as a random reference is absolutely WILD to me knowing what Oda (the creator) has just stated in an interview.
You came up on my reccomended and as soon as you loved the intro I subbed knowing your gonna enjoy the journey
Thank you for your Hard Work Editor!!!!Thanks for the Reaction. I really enjoyed it.
glad u enjoyed the very first episode!! my best advice for people who have just started OP is to be impatient and have fun along the journey since there are tons of episodes and the pace is slower than most of other animes:) and to be honest there are jokes in this show (like the fatshaming u mentioned) are quite... for me, but i try to not care so much about them, though i understand ur feelings 😭 what's your plan for further updates for the series?
I'm so glad you're doing this. I don't know that I'd get into this otherwise. So funny!
Oh man you're gonna love this show. There's so much depth.
I love how happy you are at the start
I know you will Keep this same fun all throughout
Well the Pirate King left his treasure called the One Piece, which resulted in creating and leading an era of piracy, which drove pirates all over the world to find it
Excited to see this continue! It’s always a joy to see someone react blind to a work of literature that I love
It’s such a fun show and the world building expands along with understanding of the characters’ true pasts and proverbial baggage and how all of it goes with their character development where dialogue will completely recontextualise events from 900 chapters before into something completely different… I definitely recommend starting with this through episode 4 or 5 cause that’s the intro to koby/saving koby meeting important characters story arc that’s just a small intro to a bunch of things which each set of mini story arcs reveal about the characters… but you’re only able to assume or guess things til it shocks you with short dialogue and maybe a small flashback…
But definitely worth watching the earlier arcs in chunks… later you kinda Need bigger chunks of it… but episode one isn’t even where the manga starts… they moved some things for the sake of flow or something but it works this way
Enjoy the ride man… someone in a one piece tuber discussion server dropped link to your vid with positive reviews and honestly I can Tell already you’re gonna get what you desire and more from the impression you’ve given… Welcome aboard man! Its a helluva ride… The world govt in the story is Almost as bad as the Real Life World Government which probably inspires much of the narrative… but don’t speculate that heavy til way later when you live off wild theories hehe some come true but some are completely different than most normal speculations… Oda has a lot of fun with the audience’s expectations and beliefs and you really see more looking back the more you know from the story… Can’t recommend reading the manga casually enough cause you’ll probably burn through it quick! It’s hard to stop in some places and you always know at some points it’s going to be “peak fiction” as I frequently hear exclaimed around… well most chapters past year hehe
A lot of your initial thoughts will seem funny later on cause of some things you thought that are like a way lighter vanilla version of what Oda has coming over the next few hundred chapters or so… even in east blue a lot of important stuff gets done that parallels elements of things later in ways no one realises til it’s pointed out… So much happens so quickly though the live action has chopped the arc down to a few hours somehow and I don’t know how well it’ll sell the story but It probably will get people Really enjoying the anime or manga as a result…
Such a fun ride the start of the story… which I can’t even use the appropriate words to characterise the Grandeur of it because of Spoilers and so on hehe but you don’t need to know that stuff for a while I’d imagine hehehe
Really have fun with this story man! It’s a battle comedy that gets way more serious and dramatic while the humour always carries on as the narrative evolves with the understanding of the world…
I really doubt you’d be disappointed from what you already seem to think so Just keep Vivian with the memorable soundtrack yeah?! : D
Also hit the subscribe button at the start when you mentioned the switch up in content so that you'd be compliant with the strike. Labor solidarity is a damn good look and happy to watch vids from someone who cares about solidarity among the working class.
Wellcome to the adventure. Allways love expiriencing this show again with someone new. Hope u enjoy it man!
after reading the recent one piece chapter I appreciate how koby has progressed !!
“The music in this show is so good” bruh that’s an understatement, One Piece has some of the best ost in not just anime, but pretty much in anything that’s fictional entertainment
One thing people find confusing when I say I don't really care about the show but LOVE the author is that I mean I am really impressed with the author. Like the techniques he is using and ALL the frigging references and how much knowledge he has about the world is incredibly impressive. I have really tried to find a book I like from I was little, just a person/author that impresses me. And I am always a person who wants more from the sunrise. And what I love and is impressed about is that its one big story, while other authors tend to split it up in sections and just continue for the money or something. This was planned out when the author was 20 and more than 20 more years in the future. We see characters in the first 10 episodes that doesn't really get a proper introduction or are explained why they are there until hundreds of episodes later. And that's with hundreds of characters too. If your down with storytelling and techniques in that era you will be embarrassed to have called any other author "geniuses"
It DEFINITELY has that depth. This is a story about found family, tyrannical governments, lost history and just... adventure. It's all one long story that meshes together perfectly, while fleshing out the wider world that is so much more dark then you'll realize for a LONG time.
Woho, Found Nerdy thanks to the wheel of time, now I'm staying thanks to the rubberman pirate Monkey D Luffy. I hope Nerdy will keep having a good time with One piece and I know that I will watch the videos untill Nerdy either finnish the anime when it is complete or he say's he's not going to continue watching for any reason
Welcome to the show that is second on the list just after Superman. I love this show you can be happy and then have different feelings. Also it has lots of things that in our world. I will always love this show.
didnt expect you to watch it in japanese! im in love with this reaction already
Omg this feel nostalgic can't wait to see ur reactions and see u fall in love with it just please stick with it it's awesome it's amazing it's rewarding it everything
One Piece is one of my favorite stories ever. idk how Oda does it, but you get so attached to these characters so quickly that you feel like you're watching people you've known your whole life
Trust me, this anime/manga has one of the most in depth stories out there. I can honestly say that it almost tackles every topic there is and it affects the whole story.
One piece means so much to me and I’m happy to see so many people react to it and I’m here for it. The first episode is very different from the first chapter of the manga which is much better but still I like it a lot! It is one of the greatest stories that I have ever read/watched/heard. And really glad you feel like going even if the not for the views!
Will watch the next ep of your reactions though!
One Piece is hard to nail down as truly any one things aside, perhaps, as a story about adventure. On the one hand it is absolutely a silly, goofy, fun show about pirates with gimmicks. On the other hand, it's a story that has some of the greatest world building, emotional beats, and poignant commentary on the real world that you're likely to find in almost any piece of media. I am not being hyperbolic when I say that One Piece is a modern day epic in every way except that it isn't a poem. There are parts of this series in which I swear it is absolutely not meant for kids because of how deep and heavy the material gets. And yet, despite that, it never loses its sense of humor, the child-like wonder, and the sheer joy and fun of going on an adventure. And while the story takes a little bit to really find its feet and showcase what it's truly capable of, even the first few arcs are still lots of fun and very entertaining. Just realize that, as superficial and light as the show may seem at first, it is really only scratching the surface of what it's capable of ... and yet still never loses the charm and fun that is clearly on the tin.
Super glad you enjoyed this one - I can understand where you're coming from with FMA's contrast between exaggerated expressions for comedy and serious dark moments (though it works for me), all I'll say it that I think OP's serious moments (when they come) might work better for you because they stay in that exaggerated style and apply it to dramatic moments, rather than whiplashing between two vastly contrasting styles. We'll see though.
i start watching one piece when i was 10 or 11 years old using cd that my brother bought from his friend.
now im 30. i still watch it with wonder and excitement like im 10 all over again.
i love the manga, i love the anime.
i love every single member and i love the writer.
i hope you will enjoy your journey with one piece. its gonna b a long ride.
God I hope this goes well, I had it on in January cause I needed a background show and wanted something I didn't think I'd be interested in. Ended up falling in love with it, watched the whole series, cried multiple times.
Very important! Have. Fun. One piece is just fun, its childish fun. It can be serious, it can be emotional, but its always an adventure.
Btw, prob need to do more than 1 episode, it used to air with like 4 or 5 episodes a day back to back. The format fits the early season the best. 1 ep per vid only rly works in the very late seasons
Nice review. Just started One piece a couple weeks ago and have been really enjoying it. Hope you continue.
I am so happy you are starting this series. It is so much fun. Though, knowing you guys, I would've thought you would read it.
Trust me, if you keep reacting to One Piece people will show up lol even if you've seen the whole thing, rewatching it with the perspective of someone who hasnt experienced it before never gets old. Some of the most powerful moments in anime history
Literally me watching the 15th person reacting to the series XD Living vicariously through new fans as become somewhat of a hobby lol
If you go into this expecting a fun adventure, it definitely delivers. I really hope you have a good time reacting to this 💜💜 even if you don't get all the way, I think every one should say least give it a go xD
1997 so 90's but yeah. This anime is just PURE ADVENTURE.
Enter "That's a woman?" Meme for Alvida 😂
You'd be surprised but Oda actually changed quiet a bit how the anime opens up with them being out on sea as opposed to the manga. Luffy is the same age as Oda when Oda first became a mangaka writer, 17.
Hope you enjoyed the ride in this amazing and long story. 😁🍻🍖👒
Another Nakama I can't wait to see how far you go, one piece is an amazing ride to go on that you won't regret investing the time in. The best advice any One Piece fan can give to someone new starting the show is just go until episode 45 to decide if your in for the long haul or not but trust me it's worth it This whole 1,000 plus episode show has been created by one guy Echiro Oda who the fans lovingly call GOda for his amazing writing abilities
Let's gooooo 🎉🎉 idk who you are yet but I am glad to see you join the crew and go on this adventure with us!! ^.^
This starts the slow decent into one piece, it'll make you laugh and cry from the wildest things and before you know it Oda has you and then you'll become One of us. One of us. One of us.
Luffy’s alignment is hard to pin down. It is somewhere between chaotic neutral and chaotic good, but he does some lawful neutral things too.
Also, the name of Alvida’s ship is the “Ms Love Duck” which I don’t even know why I think is so fantastic.
hope you continue watching this
ps. you said that nami hadn't have a line in the episode. it has a reason, see in the manga she appears first in the second story arc (orange town) so all her apreance in the first story arc ( romance dawn ep 1-4) ARE TECHNICALLY FILLER
One Piece is an amazing world. I can’t wait to watch your journey! Just subscribed.
Welp. Immediatelly subscribed. Let's do this for the 20th time bc it never gets tiring rewatching One Piece with someone blindly reacting to it XD
People say that One Piece has a lot of filler? It's like... 9% filler out of 1070 episodes and 20 seasons isn't even close to a lot. They definitely do drag out some scenes in the anime though. Maybe that's what they mean? But that's... Fluff. Not filler.
Nerdy gets it! I'm currently in the middle of the manga and I haven't properly seen the anime outside of a couple of episodes, but this is a great first episode to set the tone of what One Piece can be like some of the time. It's an especially great introduction to Luffy, Coby, and Nami.
The tone changes as the story progresses. Wano looks like a different anime.
@@devadathans5506 I can imagine. I'm about halfway through Fishman Island looking forward to Dressrosa.
Cool. Thats what i like to see with various reactors in that they are genuinely open to their impressions. Its fun to see genuine liking or dislike of a show🙂😁
I started my own one piece journey not too long ago. It's been a great ride so far and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it!
Please continue! I adore your comedy and your breakdown already.
Great reaction for the 1st episode I would say.. And so you really pause when talking?! Nice bro👍🏻 People rarely doing that and they miss a lot of subtle foreshadow because they talk too much and never pause😭 It's always nice seeing new reactors react to One Piece, I'm obsessed with One Piece that I keep watching One Piece reaction like from 20-30 reactors or probably more🤣🤣🤣 I'm a bit slow to catch up on foreshadow and plot twist, so it's nice to see other people get it on the first watch, it's always mind blowing for me🔥 I'm the person that need to rewatching like 2-3 times to understand complicated things (complicated from my perspective btw) Watching anime reactions actually help me to understand more and appreciate more about the music, animation style, the arts and people in comments also sharing something from manga, I appreciate that a lot💜 So thank you🥰
This series will change your life. Im glad to see another future One piece fan :D
“If no one watches this” ahahhahaha do you know how much one piece fans love watching people watching the show for the first time. So we can live vicariously thru yall
It's amazing) My favorite reactor reacting to my favorite IP) Thank you)
Also, the first episode was released in 1998
First of all, welcome to the One Piece crew! Hope you enjoy the cruise.
One Piece has an excellent sense of balance between silly nonsense and deep moments/topics. You'll see glimpses of that in the next few story arcs, but it'll be one specific arc (which the live action's first season will climax with) where you'll see that balance in full. Its usually at that point where people go All-In on the series.
LETS GOOO THANK YOU FOR BEING AN AWESOME STRIKER, AND BEING CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT YOU WATCH.
You're gonna love it, but it's gonna take time before it gets awesome. Great reaction 😁👍
I dunno. Based on his reaction to episode one, he'll likely be in the category of people who fall in love with it super early on
Just found you through this video, great review!
I just watch episode 1062 😂😂
I started when I was 15 though. Good luck and enjoy the ride. It’s crazy how many wheel of time fans also watch one piece
your take on this episode had me rolling. please do more. the thing you said about luffy eating apples like that. you'll just have to watch more lol
I am here for this. My son and I started watching this show together and we’re almost 300 episodes in a year later.
