Gee I wonder how

>he thinks stakes are an absolute necessity for something to be good

>good characters
name one

Based

huntards gonna seethe at this one

>muh stakes
While OP goes too far to the opposite side of things, killing off characters all the time to prove your series has stakes often is bad too.

because no stakes

>the one time one die guys, it's completely retarded and forced
Good fucking job Oda

>supreme grade world building
I like One Piece but no. Every island and every character is like the Doraemon version of things Oda likes with a super duper corrupt government that makes the marines look like retards.

shut the fuck up amerifat lol

Right place, right time. nothing better was in shounen jump at the time so it survived by luck and people got invested over time. Really it's proof that Shounen Jump has always been kinda shit.

Do Americans even know what Doraemon is

muh stakes is a meme for pretentious tryhards it's a story not an episode of survivor. Death is cheap and rarely has any meaningful impact on the story

Sunk cost fallacy: the manga

test

>say things that cemented One Piece as one of the biggest
>lol no you're wrong
C'mon, even if you say "sunk cost" it's crazy One Piece never fell from top 10. Even more crazy the fact that it's Oda's first actual manga, even if you're a contrarian little bitch, you gotta admit it One Piece did something better than your favorite manga.

>puts out shit quality
>SOME people like it
>does the same for 20 years
>the same kind of people keep liking it
if popularity were a measure of quality, transformers would be the pinnacle of cinema
but it isn't
movies/books/manga don't have to be good in order to be popular (transformers/harry potter/one piece) SO STOP TRYING TO CONFLATE THE TWO

Its fun. Didn't have to be smart, didn't have to be detailed, didn't have to be deep. Just really fun.
