Pakistanis should watch/read ONE PIECE

Discussion

I think every Pakistani should watch one piece. I am some 200 episodes in and it might seem childish to some people but it contains undertones that are some serious issues in Pakistani society. examples;

It contains a world government that is very similar in nature to our overlords down to the militarism, extreme over reach and thinking of its citizens as cannon fodder. Its uncanny the similarities.
It contains the use of religion to control, manipulate and sway the masses.
It also includes the government harboring individuals that they have to protect their citizens against.

If you guys have other reasons comment them below. Other than that 10/10 would recommend and could also provide some catharsis by the main leads beating up allegories to our rulers with some childlike wonder and imagination.

so does everyone else people watch something because they enjoy it I don't understand how people that don't enjoy something can pass judgement onto things other people enjoy. If you really have a life than move on why did you have to type this comment makes you look pathetic calling other peoples interest a waste of YOUR time like what were you trying to accomplish.

posts on how Pakistanis should spend their time on some mediocre anime having over 200 episodes

says people shouldn't be told how to spend their time

???

Listen, I understand you like the show, but its extremely immature how you enforce your liking on others, also this has nothing to do with Pakistan - im honestly shocked how your post is still up. The down votes are clear indication how people feel about this. Read the room and take a hint.

I am not enforcing my liking I just gave reasons as to why I think other people should watch it. the entirety of my reply to your comment states that you don't have to watch it if you don't want to or if you have no interest in it . I have given similar replies to other people.

One piece was fun until luffy became some chosen one. Reminded me of why its a shonen. Wano arc was pretty mid.

I haven’t watched it but i know the entire story. From who Rocks D Xebex was, Roger, Gorisei, Imu and how they delete history and control narrative. Even the theories of Shanks relation with Figerland.

I read it on Wikifandom and explored every single main character and void century. Truly a masterpiece of a story but I can’t watch it due to my CA studies.

Can’t wait to know what the will of D will be. Oda cooking smt

Nah hear me out, if you have immense hatred for Lumber 1, watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Literally explains the entire Pakki political situation better than any anime could, and also has themes on religious brainwashing, propaganda in War and framing the innocent, the greed of higher military officials since the dawn of time and the consequences of imitating God himself. Absolute banger of an anime with only 64 episodes.

I never considered that perspective of how much the ideas in One Piece correlate to our society .. thank you for that and this also encouraged my second rewatch of the series 👍👍

How is it a bad influence when the above post is literally saying what kind of topics/theme "One piece" consist of.

Regardless of influence even if you watch it for entertainment, like I have watched Attack on Titans which is 100 times better than any Pakistani drama or movie.

oh so you like seinen read vagabond if you want to read a mystery/psychological horror manga check out naoki urasawa and his stories.

Vagabond is in my list to read. Ive also read Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer but they were pretty mid.

Vinland is by far my fav manga that Ive read. Homunculus on the other hand was just ewwww 😂😂.

Ive yet to watch more but again time constraints

darker shonen are always pretty mid. yeah vinland is pretty good. homunculus is something to take a shower after reading.

I don't watch anime myself but I watch animated movies. Movies/games are meant for entertainment not for specific classes like females, males, kids etc

Let me guess..

You think if it's animated, it's for children? Lmao

Do you also hold the same opinion for video games?
