I tried it after seeing the pirate flag thing being used in Nepal Gen Z Protests and I thought it must be a cool story if its so popular, so I tried watching it… and I got bored so quickly. I mean, it just feels very weird to me, doesn’t “click” for me, oh well, I guess my brain is just different.
If you’re actually interested you can just try the Netflix show. It’s a watered down version but it’s decent enough to give an idea of what makes it have so many fans. The Anime is just weekly television that’s been running for decades - it was never meant to be binge watched.
Tbf, Avatar: The Last Airbender was also made for kids, but I quite enjoyed it as a young adult (even though it does have “cringy” moments). I guess One Piece just doesn’t have a “deep” overarching story like a world war, propaganda (talking about the fire nation), and genocide.
I assure you, One Piece is very much not child friendly later on. The first like 700 episodes build up to a specific story arc (Wano). The current (anime) arc has a major back story of a characters life which includes him begging to be allowed to die as a child.

Or ypu know you aren’t the actual target audience for One Piece which is children.

One Piece actually does have those things.
But I’m still not gonna sit through 1000 episodes for it.
TLA is aimed at an older kid than One Piece seems to be.

That and the anime pacing is terrible.
