one piece is made to entertain dirkz
Perfect news to troll.
hanta hanta !! where are you !?
I’m so happy that silver spoon(from fma’s author) is doing so well with just 3 volumes
So long as Shingeki no Kyojin is on the top 10, I don’t really mind what else is on the list because that Manga is incredible.
Yotsubato! also nearly made it top 10 for individual volume sales as well so that’s pretty good.
btw! Where is my yotsubato anime? With Chiyo Mihama’s seiyuu…Rooooooooooooooooooooooooo! too much epicness for me <X(
Hunter X Hunter always hiatus for a long time, but it can reach 3rd position.
Marvelous !!!
don’t blame the public, blame the business that pushes it upon them.
Jeez. One Piece sold 10 million more copies than Naruto. That is crazy. People in Japan must really love One Piece.
I’m from Belgium and I love One Piece 😉
The top American comic books (e.g. Batman) sell around 100,000 per issue, and the top Japanese manga sell over 1,000,000 per issue. Japan must be doing something right.
Nah, it’s just that there isn’t many otakus in america compared to japan.
Also, quite a fair amount of Non-otaku people do read manga, especially Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and sports.
Also, reading manga and the like is much more accepted in Japan than in the states, You’ll regularly see businessmen reading manga in Japan.
I’m going to point at this list the next time someone tries to convince me those two awful Nanoha manga are popular in Japan.
Just FYI to Anon at 09:33:
Nanoha started as an anime, not a manga. It’s pretty rare, from what I’ve seen, for manga based on an anime to be very good. The manga almost always seem to fall short of the anime.
Nanoha manga isn’t popular, most of the time the sales of the a manga doesn’t really determine its popularity, on the other hand, the anime sales will make a series known worldwide.
Also, Nanoha, the anime, is popular than most mangas on this list, i assure you that.
Who told you the Manga was popular?
It’s the Anime that seems to be more popular over there.
One Piece shits all over your favorite manga AGAIN! Mmmmmm I smell the frustration of the haters and I love their pathetic cries! Keep biting your lips because of OPs popularity and goe emo some more! :3
One Piece destroys EVERYTHING! I hope you have a good time screaming in agony you poor haters! :DDD
Bleach haters sucks.
Come on just admit that Bleachs time is over. It has been in the lower half in the SJ rankings for years now.
Yotsuba beat Bleach. :D!
To understand why One Piece is the most sold manga in the world (hence I said it), you just have to compare the content of the manga.
Bleach – Cool images empty without nothing, 18 pages with deserted places, to many close up and nothing.
Naruto – Cool art, good fights, to many flashbacks, Naruto and Sasuke, but no development of the other characters.
One Piece – Bad art, funny as hell, emotional as hell, grandiose fights, original and unpredictable stories that intertwine with other stories, that intertwine with other stories. One manga chapter as enough material for one anime episode. You actually need to read to understand the story. SO so so many details!!!
Haters only judge OP because of the art. I bet they even never read it and yet they insist that it sucked.
i wouldn’t say one piece’s art is bad. it’s just unique from other anime.
Unique =/= bad
One Piece, bad art? gotta disagree with you there mate.
i know a few ppl who reject one piece just because of the “bad art” and they never even try to finish volume 1. boy they missed out all the fun, their loss.
there’s a lot of better mangas to read than One Piece. They are right.
I probably truth, but One Piece comes out every week. How often do the mangas your talking about are released, once a month if you’re lucky?
Why not just going to read your mangas of naruto or one piece or bleach?, Stop discussing which is best, if one piece is at the top, is for something, if someone tells me that ¨I am a hero¨ sucks, i will say that’s your opinion, I’m not going to stop reading the manga.
Please stop you look like 12 years old.
This is the internet; no one genuinely respects someone else’s opinion.
About 50% of the internet is people arguing/trolling, 49.9% is porn, and the rest is all that other crap.
Bleach – cool art
Naruto – cool art
One Piece – cool story
Just saying…
Pirates trying to find a treasure. “cool story”.
05:43
Let me guess you only watch the first ep…
typical narutard…herp derp forever….
Typical person who criticize the most popular things to act as if he was a manga expert when he’s not.
Correction, Pirates trying to find a trasure “Cool Epic Story!”
That’s how it starts, but it’s a lot more complex than that, now.
Backstory, not a story.
One Piece sure is blowing everything out of the water (not intended as a pirate joke.) Maybe I should start reading it again. I stopped after the fight with the shark guy, has it gotten any better?
LOL you’re missing so many things about OP. JUst fucking pick it up again!!
Of course, you haven’t seen nothing yet… And be ready for the story to be quite dark later on. Although the comedy is still there 😛
Are you referring to Arlong? You don’t know the half of it. You haven’t even gotten to the point where the crew really makes a name for themselves.
yes it has.
I wouldn’t call it my favorite but i would recommend picking it up if you have the time and want a very interesting story with solid characters, but it has ups and downs like every thing else.
Assuming you left off after the defeat of Arlong in East Blue, read/watch up until the end of the Alabastra arc. Skip the Skypia arc entirely, then pick it back up when they reach Water 7.
One Piece reaches its fever pitch in the Enies Lobby arc with honestly one of the most moving moments in all of anime.
It stays relatively good up through the Sabaody Archipelago Arc or chapter 513. Everything after this is not really worth your time unless you are a true fan.
The Impel Down and the Marineford Arcs have a lot of action but are no means up to the same standard the rest of the story is.
If you must know what happens after the Sabaody Arc just skip to chapter 590 or so and stop at 603. So far everything after this just bad.
One does not simply skip One Piece chapters! Oh and I strongly disagree with you!
“Everything after this is not really worth your time unless you are a true fan.”
*reads One Piece chapters then goes on to talk about how bad each arc is and then reads it again.*
nice trolling 2/10
Need To Love-Ru Darkness on the top…
Ishihara cheated the ranking. The real number #1 is To Love-ru Darkness! ALL HAIL YABUKI KENTARO!
LOL!
To Love-Ru is only 4 volumes and it’s getting near to 1 million sales.
Why…it’s nothing but good art and porn…stupid story….
NEXT!
K-ON! has a “great” story…
Thing is, good art and porn sells, so your point is invalid 😉
What does one piece have to do with porn? Tainaka Ritsu is just trolling, probably a bored rotten tard.
Because It’s a fucking shounen manga?
And for the record, To-love Ru isn’t porn, just ecchi.
Porn sells, Hentai sells, check the the upcoming list and Getchu rankings.
Then why is One Piece is selling so well in Japan?
your point is also invalid 😉
And K-ON! Story… oh wait, its K-ON!

Yup, it’s K-on alright, one of the top selling animes of all time.
Space Brothers is good, but I didn’t know it was 2.5+ million volumes good.
Space brothers is good indeed.
What, Meitantei Conan ain’t popular anymore? That comes as a surprise…
What? The newly transscribed and translated sailor moon reproductions are not at the top of the list? Every one 30 or older bought those!
Oricon is a Japanese list. No wonder there’s no American issue of the manga 😉
Space Brothers surprised me. I love that show because I’m from Houston, but I didn’t expect it to be that popular.
At least Hayate no Gotoku got a spot, the last one, I love that series.
Same here, the mangas on that list are very unpredictable (except for one piece lol).
lol beelzebub is low donw. and hayate no gotoku is incredible down for such a good everyday manga.
Well even Beelzebub anime got canceled in middle of arc… so it doesnt seem to be that popular. I love Beelze but i dont think that there would be second season of it. But at least manga is not in danger of being canceled.
fuck wanpiss
Japaneses prefer garbages like one piece.
I’m from Belgium and I love One piece 😉 Problem hater ?
And another extremely frustrated One Piece hater. You guys always manage to make me laugh and it makes me happy to know that the sales of One Piece make you sad and frustrated! :)))
Only those filthy Americans think Bleach is good.
bleach is over…its finished..done..and yet u seams to think its not on the list becaus only americans think bleach is good xD
12. Bleach 53 [624,801]
13. Bleach 54 [613,846]
Really? At least 600k+ Japanese seem to disagree.
I’m actually impressed that Bleach is still going strong
Only those filthy (whatever country your from) would bring up another country for no reason other than to try to be an internet bully.
lol u mad amerifag? u fags are the ones that always talk trash about the rest and when someone bad mouths yours you get way over butt hurt and start blurting out the typical bullshit we hear all the time from your fucked up minds. GG go fuck yourselves you bunch of KKK!
They’re all fighting shounen. No big difference there. Maybe one piece is the better fighting shounen. Who cares?
But one piece is also kind of a phenomenon. Like Pkmn. Everybody knows it. And if you skip the filler it’s actually still fun to watch. Emphasis on _still_. Bleach ain’t any fun anymore.
One Piece has a completely different feel to it than other fighting shonen. Also, the anime doesn’t have filler. It’s just dragged out to infinity.
It was about 14 episodes of Filler when they came back to the grandline after Skypiea. After that filler it was “The Foxy Pirates Arc” before Water 7 Arc. The Foxy Pirate Arc was about 13 episodes cannon, however after the boxing fight with “Afro” Luffy against Foxy. The Strawhats were challenged again by the Foxy Pirates which was short, I say maybe around 9 – 10 episodes and then they met Admiral Aokiji which started the Water 7 Arc.
One Piece was minor filler, which went with the flow of the storyline unlike Bleach which was all over the ****ing place. Kubo sucks.
I’d say OP has more than 20 episodes of filler. Maybe 40?
By the way, the filler right after Skypiea was hilarious and it had some cool characters too. Too bad it’s not canon.
about 15 or 20 episodes of filler…unlike Bleach and Naruto with the 200 Episodes of Filler Each. Which is another point why One Piece is better. But it is also the reason why Americans don’t get it, because they are too stupid to understand well thought out stories.
In other words, Anime like One Piece & Hunter X Hunter is loved by everyone outside the U.S.A. Every time a Anime is released in America, they always say it suck, but the international community would think differently.
Stupid Americans.
Yeah, almost right. One pieve does have filler.
Watch? Wait are you talking of animes? This is a list of the most sold mangas of 2012.
You’re comment is irrelevant.
They’re not all Fighting shounen, Kuroko is a Sports shounen, epic matches i tell you.
Wait, it’s not an Index/Railgun spinoff about everyone’s beloved lecherous lesbian teleporter girl?
And where pray-tell did Bleach come from…?
I believe what he’s trying to say is that only Americans with their sub-par tastes in manga and anime would be able to enjoy Bleach (and a number of other series Japan wouldn’t bat an eye at). Bleach originating in Japan is already a given and the point is that the native audience appreciates it far less than the foreign audiences, namely the Americans in this case and I agree.
@7:11
The overall point from the original comment is that American fans hold Bleach in a much higher regard than the Japanese fans. To put it more simply, where Bleach is #12/13 in this ranking it may be #3/#4 in America (provided they buy their own shit instead of just reading online scanlations) considering how they still deem it part of “the big three”.
“I agree, Americans are stupid”.
Keep up with the mental masturbation you fags. Keep repeating that to yourself and maybe one day you’ll get an orgasm out of it. When losers like you make generalizations about Americans it’s perfectly ok, but when one American makes a comment the entire country is racist and ignorant.Do the world a favor and fucking kill yourself.
So you have a problem with reading comprehension. The Oricon charts represent Japanese sales and Bleach is at 12 out of the top 100, purchased by Japanese.
By the way One piece and Naruto are on top which says all there needs to be said about Japanese taste in manga.
“By the way One piece and Naruto are on top which says all there needs to be said about Japanese taste in manga.”
Yeah, and that is they have excellent taste! :]
i find that comment funny. Bleach was good to a point (last fight between ichigo and ulqiorra) But who is it that made bleach? not the americans.
Bleach was good only till, save Rukia Arc. after that……………………
ichigo, ss arc, if it ended there with a small 2 or 4 chapter epilogue, it would have been great.
kind of think DNA2 anime end, without the oav.
Actually, when the Visored and Arrancars were introduced, it was kind of interesting. But then the way their stories were played out was really disappointing… Tito has some cool designs for characters, but he fails at making them interesting so you don’t really care what happens to them.
seriously, now that you reminded me, Ichigo charging into SS was best thing ever. I remember how hyped i was, re-watched those few episodes several times.
well said, sir
Which is why its still running in Japan of course.
@02:58 Another Piece tard frustrated because bleach manga wasn’t cancelled.
Only a retarded like you think Bleach is bad.
“Only a retarded”
Bleach is good. Of course, piece tards will deny it.
Bleach is a piece of shit.
05:40
One Piece IS the best, in it’s own genre 😛
@4:52
Dude you always going to get booed out of the competition to even say Bleach beats those Shonen titles.
Which means you have no taste in “Shonen” Anime that is good, period.
The reason why Japanese love One Piece more is because it has so many different ranges to it’s story. It’s Dragon Ball Franchise’s predecessor for one thing. Just like Dragon Ball, Japanese people can tell that One Piece is a series that can inspire future mangakas to do their own manga. That’s what One Piece represents.
Bleach and Kubo Tite horribly fails in that category with his inconsistent storylines whereas Dragon Ball and One Piece didn’t because they are prime examples of how manga should be.
What I’m saying is, for future mangakas that want to make “great” manga, they should follow Eiichiro Oda and Akira Toriyama footsteps whether it’s a harem, action, drama, or a mecha anime.
And that’s why the One Piece and Dragon Ball franchises will forever be on top of Anime and Manga World for all time.
And the only ones that will never understand that fact are Americans, because they are too stupid to realize that.
Bleach, One Piece, Naruto, tbh they all suck atm.
Lol what a fucking joker. If someone says OP is the best ever, yeah they’re wrong. (Although at least they’re on the right track with advocating a comic that deserves it.) Series like Nausicaa and LWC prove it. But One Piece isn’t supposed to be some masterful work. It’s like Indiana Jones (Cept for maybe the last one), just a bunch of well written fun and adventure. It’s not the best ever, but it sure as hell shits on Bleach. (HxH and OP are easily better than Naruto, Reborn, and Fairy Tail too for that matter.)
Hell, Bleach fails on it’s very premise.
http://www.apforums.net/showthread.php?t=29130&page=437&p=2167130&viewfull=1#post2167130
The Fullbring and Nazi Quincy arcs? Proof that Kubo’s series is collapsing in on itself as it clearly shouldn’t have continued past Aizen.
Bleach >>>>>>> Naruto/One Piece. Period.
Wow, most of those are Shounen o_o
Well, i guess reading an epic nakama hax fighting story on a manga is better than watching it incomplete in anime form.
Shounen & Shoujo manga sells way more than more mature-minded manga works.
Conclusion-> the Japanese are kids.
Shounens? Do you mean DBZ Clones like One Piece, Naruto and HxH?
okay first of all you called it DBZ in as far as the manga is concerned it only exists as Dragonball. second, to this day its widely considered to be one of the best in its genre it’s only natural people try to emulate it in some form (especially since the mangaka of those respective series hold Toriyama in high regard). third, one piece, naruto, bleach, and hunterxhunter all have unique stories in their own right and different things they were based off of hard to call them clones.
thank you. One Piece is the closest in feel to Dragonball to me, because of sense of grand adventure and the excellent mix of comedy and epic action, but they’re all their own beast.
One Piece is NOT a DBZ clone, because if it was it would suck horribly, which it doesn´t!
I’d say ,I take OP any day over DB.
That’s your opinion. I’d take DB over OP every day.
Better clones than all the BS DC and Marvel pull
LMFAO! WELL SAID MY GOOD SIR!
hurrrrr durrrrrr
No, i mean manga targeted at Young boys. as in Shounen.
Although i’m sure other audiences read and buy them aswell, for some reason Shounen is pretty popular in manga form o.o
one piece only have 70 filler episodes out of 550 episode,first time in shounen history lol
Only similarity between kuroko and slam dunk is that they are both about basketball and high school basketball tournaments. Also the dunks they do like in every basketball manga and the shooting and the dribbles.
Not sure what you are saying about the anime form of kuroko on amazon barely making 4k sales but aren’t ppl in japan watching kuroko on tv since its a new and currently airing tv show only on episode 9. Doubt you can buy the complete blurays or dvds on amazon right now.
exactly, take for example Kuroko, The manga is pretty good, it’s nearly the same as Slam dunk, the story is decent and the matches are well done, no fillers also. and it sold nearly 2 mil copies (Although for a 18 volume manga it’s not really that impressive, still decent nonetheless)
But in anime form, it’s barely at 4k sales pts on amazon, and that says alot.
Less filler.
Pretty sure all chapters, for example, of one piece fit into about 150 episodes.
Nami like a boss there, laughing all the way to the bank.
Bleach is a hundred times better than One Piece will ever be, not to mention One Piece’s art is shit!
I just felt like puking at this. Just a proof that butthurt Bleachtards are sourgrapers.
Bleach = no plot, we just have 2 people who fight each other during 8 chapters. And paf he has a hidden power, and paf the other has a power-up, and paf the other uses a forbidden technique, and paf the other has another power-up, and paf the other believes in his morals and has a power-up…
Plus, the art in Bleach is really bad. For several chracters, they have the same faces and the only things that change is the hairstyle. There’s no background, and even when it is, it’s something like a cloud or a white and plain building.
It’s like Kubo uses a male character-template and just presses a “random character generate” button.
XD
And Ichigo? More like deus ex machina.
Now you think that the chapter release speed gives Bleach the edge? Are you fucking serious? LOL oh man… ^^
Well, that’s very good for you, glad you enjoy it. I wish OP came out as frecuently as Bleach does (Fairy Tail speed and content would be ideal though).
In Oda’s defense though, he puts a lot of thought into each chapter and plans carefully how it may move the story. Not to mention that each chapter has a lot of detail that definitively takes a time to do.
Also he doesn’t take as many breaks as you claim he does.
LOL Atleast Kubo puts out chapters at regular intervals, not like Oda who takes 2 week vacations 10 times a year.
Oh, when is One Piece’s next chapter coming out? It looks like you’ll have to wait. On the other hand I don’t for my faves 😀
dunno why everyone is so like “OMG OMG One piece,yeah is awesome”!!!
that’s why all Bleach/Naruto fandoms are bullied by Piece Tards and One piece and its fans are the most hated and shunned trolls in existance.
The animation in one piece is 100 times worse than what the animation was in scooby doo. Piece of shit anime with its shitty animation. Not to mention the character designs. WTF, were they drawn for a 3 year old’s children’s book? Everyone’s deformed to the max. Oda’s fuckin amateur. Kubo, Kishimoto, and Mashima rape his ass for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Even the moderators and starred members at apforums hate the anime. It’s padded as hell, censored, and frequently has wonky art and animation. Toei stretches its budget over thousands of episodes for hundreds of different series. Not to mention One Piece has large and loyal enough fanbase to sell, despite having shoddy episodes. The only good things are the music and voice actors.
But that’s not what you mean since you’re flat out trolling OP fans, making you a large fucking hypocrite. If all you’ve got to knock on is art, then that proves how 100% fucking shallow you really are. One Piece may not be the best series ever but HxH, OP, and Toriko sure as hell trump series like Naruto, Bleach, Reborn and Fairy Tail. Their character designs are 100x more creative than anything Kishi, Kubo, Mashima, or Amano could ever shit out.
God it’s like some Twilight fan getting mad at a Harry Potter fan. Harry Potter may not be some masterpiece of literature, but its not supposed to be. All it is, is some creative, well-written fun. And its absolutely fucking beats Twilight.
One Piece fans make fun of those series because they fucking suck, not because they like One Piece. Check out apforums. Nobody ever hates on Shingeki no Kyojin, Berserk, etc.
In Naruto, the art has degraded so much that the character look like animated puppets.
In Bleach, this is worse and worse, the amount is drawing is 10x less than in Naruto and One Piece.
Why One Piece? I honestly don’t understand…
You don’t understand because you don’t even read it.
Then you assume it’s bad.
well, read it or not is up to your taste.
Onetard is < than Narutard.
Another list with Shounen Jump shit mangas…
13,833,116 people with bad taste.
LOL, just you moron. Your shitty opinion is irrelevant. Millions vs you and a few of your fellow narutards, winner: OP fans =p
Another gay piece fan detected
Another gay narutard detected. Just Suck Sasuke’s dick asshole.
it’s more likely that you’re the one with bad taste when you think about it. But since you didn’t consider that, you must not be very smart to begin with.
No just you (and a few other fags but they are not really worht mentioning).
One piece=sexy nami and other women
To Love-ru Darkness lolis are a lot more sexy.
What!? K-ON, the greatest world cultural heritage, is not on this list!? Preposterous!
There hasn’t been a new volume of K-On! published since fall of 2010. Of course it’s not going to be on the list, dumbass.
K-ON didn’t have a new volume published during the period of the list you fucking moron!
K-on Ended though, and it’s more popular in anime form (Because anime is generally prefered by most otakus) You know, the seiyu thing and the jokes in animation lol
And because its in yonkoma format. You arent going to sell millions with it.
Azumanga Daioh.
“K-ON, the greatest world cultural heritage”
guess its not as great as you imagined it to be.
DBZ still > One Shit, Blechhh, Narutard
Bitter DBtard. We’re now in 2012, dude.
I must be missing something with this series. Sure, it’s a wacky shounen battle manga, but there’s not really any character development…or discernable plotline…
…I mean, Bleach and Naruto are both chock full of fillers, entire arcs of filler. Yet both seemed to have some overarching goal (Naruto vs Sasuke, Ichigo vs Aizen). One Piece technically has overarching goals as well (Overthrowing the world government, Finding One Piece) but I haven’t seen anything that remotely begins to head in the direction to finish those goals, only more and more filler. (Excluding the one noble they took down, which almost felt like a side-point to the arc as a whole.)
That’s actually a stupid criticism to make, because all these goals you’re talking about are linked and intertwined. That means that Luffy makes progress towards accomplishing his goal everytime the crew leaves an island and travels further down the grandline, because the goal is to reach Raftel at the end of the New World, which means finding One Piece, which means becoming the Pirate King which means discovering the true history etc etc.
Also more people should read Shingeki No Kyojin. Great story but I’m sure retards would whine about the art here too.
I agree with this anon, did not think for a bit that shadow of the guro-esque colossus was that popular, the art grews very quickly for any reader with encounters on such works as… Homunculus or Shamo and the likes.
Very entertaining piece of work.
These Manga Shounens are bad. Naruto = Bleach = OP = FT = HxH = FMA = BAD! Bad story, bad characters, bad art, forced drama and a lot of “deus ex machina”. Only a child under 12 will like these mangas.
People need to read more good mangas, like Naoki Urasawa’s works, Akira, Nausicaa, Sanctuary and others.
@5:02
This idiot right here! Doesn’t know different type of manga. Big *** Idiot…GTFO!
“Only a child under 12 will like these mangas.”
Here comes the 14-15 years old who thinks he’s a grown-up and tries to make as if he was a manga expert and he doesn’t know shit.
all the manga that you mention is Seinen generally.
Shounen mangas are MEANT for Children, it’s SHOUNEN, meaning YOUNG BOYS, 10-15 <_<
But despite, other older audiences do watch it aswell.
I don’t think there are 13,833,116 children in Japan.
*Insert Otaku views on 2D VS 3D here*
One Piece fanboys are frustrated because One Piece isn’t a unanimity with the Otakus. Because this, they enter in a rage fury and start to Troll other mangas, like Naruto and Bleach.
Piece fanboys are the worst fandom of the world.
One Piece is the best selling manga of all time. Why should the fans be frustrated? In reality it’s the other way around. Bleachtards and Narutards (who still are the worst fanbase EVER) cry in agony because their favorite has no chance of seeing the light of the sun compared to One Piece! 🙂

Fairy Tail can take Bleach’s place as one of the big three at this rate
Shounen big 3
1.One piece 2.Naruto 3.HxH
Why is One Piece so popular? Like so many of the characters are ugly, and the storyline is retarded. It’s like, WTF? I mean seriously. It seems like something aimmed towards 8 year olds not for teens and it’s still popular? Hmm..
You sir, are fucking retarded.
If you watch an anime for the looks of the characters then you’re better off selling beans in the streets.
One piece is a Shounen, it’s aimed at young boys, But that doesn’t mean adults and pre-teen guys read/watch it, there are some females who also read and watch shounen anime, so stop being a little spoiled brat.
04:41
AHAHHAHAHAHA
TOO FUCKING RIGHT!!
I’m tired of people knocking One Piece because of the art style. It actually has a good ass story if they just give it a chance!!
I guess you’re a pre-teen boy if you love One Piece then because it’s fucking retarded. Only reason why people watch it is for girl tits.
“GUMGUM” yeah gumgum my cock you little faggot. Why do I care about unlikable characters in a storyline about something where they get absolutely no where endlessly. I’ll laugh when One Piece is suddenly halted from being made due to the simple fact the author is fucking sick of it.
You think I’m a retard and a spoil brat? I’m not the one bitching and moaning about how Bleach sucks or Twilight 24/7 because it simply exists. I’m bitching because One Piece is pathetic in terms of art and story and that you’re either 13 years old or a manchild if you’re stupid enough to buy and put effort into reading it.
I think the japanese industry is just shallow, I mean look at how much of the RECYCLED SHIT they make every year, harem after harem, anime that’s degrading to both men and women, predictably lame storylines, censorship on top of censorship and praise for it? Either they’re blind or too castrated to bother to leave 2chan boards to complain about how fucking shitty their choices are.
Really ? “I guess you’re a pre-teen” ==> you’re a lil’ teenager who criticizes the popular things because he’s himself not popular in real life. Boy, how much are you frustrated ?
“I’m bitching” ==> So you’re bitching.
“I mean look at how much of the RECYCLED SHIT they make every year”
How many mangas do you know ? You criticize them but it looks like you only know Naruto/Bleach/One Piece.
Go get some friends in real life, maybe it’ll make you less frustrated. If you tell me you’re not frustrated and that you have friends, go say the same things about mangas, with the same agressivity, and tell me how many will have rejected you.
then u must have some really mature tastes, let me guess Twilight!?
Let me guess are “u” from 9fag?
only when doing u in the ass
Its simple: Most of japaneses have a bad taste for mangas. This explains why a bad manga, like One Piece, sells more than masterpieces like Berserk and Billy Bat.
Berserk and Billy Bat better than One Piece ? Orly ?
Another person who read old mangas and who criticize populars mangas to pass a manga expert when he doesn’t know shit.
You must be fucking joking. How do you expect Berserk or Billy Bat to sell as much as the rest. This applies to movies and books too. The more lighthearted something is, the more accessible it is to a wider audience. (Not just children, but adults too who are put off by certain things) It’s why G and PG-13 movies generally sell way better than R movies. Not only that but look at the rate Berserk comes out. There’s no way volume sales would hold up to the other series. You may think you’ve got good taste, but your expectations here prove you’re stupid.
Lol masterpieces like Berserk? Berserk’s art style is just as exaggerated as One Piece, just in the opposite direction. It’s like cannibal corpse in how cartoonishly metal gory it is. It isn’t any more complex than One Piece either. Boils down to a simple revenge story with Guts’s party eventually grounding his humanity. Also Yawara and Monster trump Billy Bat. You can see the love Urasawa puts into Yawara while Billy Bat comes off as a noir fanboyism. That being said, Berserk and Billy Bat are good series, but so is One Piece.
And despite all this Nausicaa still tops all of them. Just compare the way that Nausicaa depicts war and violence to the way Berserk does. While describing Bereserk I’d probably say that it’s awesome. But if asked to describe Nausicaa, I’d say it was magnificent.
Berserk and Billy bat isn’t a masterpiece, It’s obvious that Long-running mangas sell well, any Shounen beyond 10 volumes and a solid story will get attention and it’ll start selling.
Berserk hasn’t been good for years. Stop fooling yourself. As soon as Gats/Guts stopped being insane and started forming a god damn Dragon Quest party with a loli-witch, the manga plummeted. The only compelling thing left is for Gats/Guts to fight Femto and that will take maybe another decade.
All these Shounen shit mangas… Japanese people are pussies that need role models, and lo and behold here they are.
Like homosexual Green Lanterns?
Hah! DC Commics is trying to get every one to throw all their 1950’s up collections in the trash and they have hired people from Central America to go through every ones trash cans to pick those relics out and in 10 years they will be multi billionaires re selling it. Also, after 10 years, Oh the Green lantern was having a night mare he was a homo and now hes not, then they reissue a load of commics and collectibles again which your grand kids will have to wait 70 years to sell… (its called a scam like the bat man gay one as well)
TUMLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Shounen manga good, shounen manga fight for nakama and kill evil!
Well One Piece does have an installed base that will buy it no matter what because they were hooked at childhood.
>shit piss still on top
Can someone explain this?
You are a loud minority. Good to see you still shouting it out.
@03:41 Another person who like One Piece because “A lot of japaneses” like it.
@05:12 Another person who dislike One Piece because “A lot of japaneses” like it.
everyone has to shit and piss sometimes
Bad tastes.
And One Piece tards are a bunch of dumbasses.
HOW THE FUCK DOES ONEPIECE KEEP GETTING SUCH HIGH SELLING RESULTS!??!?! seriously, the stort and art style are complete shit. WHY WON’T IT END!?
In other news today! Random capslocker doesn’t understand why statistics don’t agree with his personal opinion! Perhaps it’s cause said capslocker is the minority? News at 10!
The Story is amazing … Guess you need to have an higher IQ than 45 to Understand this
I didn’t like One Piece for the same reason then I gave it a chance and the story gave me a better understanding that it wasn’t your go around beat up bad guys…generic type shit…meh….
I wouldnt say amazing but its overall good, with some events(like the war) being epic. Whats important is that he actually has managed to make a story that can go for another 5 years or more without becoming stretched and still being logical. It has its low points from time to time, but overall its interesting manga.
It’s true, it’s all about the story.
Even Kimi no Todoke and Bokura ga ita, which are Shoujo, are still read-able by guys and they DO read them AND buy them, Because the story is decent, the romance is focused, no bishounen pop ups every 2 chapters, the amount of female characters are balanced with male characters, the male leads are decent, etc etc etc.
Basically it’s a Shoujo that is open to a wide audience, which is why the sales are that high, i just hope they make more good shoujos like those in the future.
Another Piece tard detected.
the story isn’t that amazing. it’s just a very good battle manga. and it’s easy to understand for kids and adults.
What’s that supposed to mean?
The basic plot might be easy to get but the hidden innuendos not so much since many people are stupid.
Shounen manga is always easy to understand for kids and adults.
What’s a matter? The truth hurts too much to realize how sad you are for loving One Piece?
LOL, one guy says “maybe your IQ isn’t high enough” then this guy says “shonen manga is easy to understand for kids and adults”. There goes your theory.
CAPS LOCK MAKES ME RIGHT.
Lol, because Shounen manga is popular and even non-otaku guys like to read them?
