This is easily one of the worst shonen I ever watched...

I also said acclaimed, you retard.

>Retard mistaking shallow progression for development.
Progression doesn't make characters good, no one in cowboy bebop and many other stories progresses much either, but 12 years olds like you who hear the word "character development' and think you understand what it means act like you're making an actual criticism when you're just embarrassing yourselves. it's fine if you enjoy progression but that doesn't make a character good. The straw hats do progress slowly as well but maybe it's too subtle for you morons, None of them are really starting from a place of where they need to change drastically past their initial arcs. There are minor side characters that do progress greatly but that doesn't make them better.
>but no he still acts a blithering blabbering idiot
He never did act like an actual idiot and has gotten even smarter now. You need guts to become pirate king, if Luffy became too cautious and lost his will, he would have no chance.

No just pointing out a fact, the final arcs could last 100s of chapters for all we know.

It's supposedly supposed to be about finding the One Piece and become a Pirate King yet barely anything that happens in the story has anything to do with that. The plot progression is so goddamn non existent it's ridiculous. This is a damn near every arc in One Piece plays out: sail to an island, meet some boring new characters, get some corny overdramatic backstory about the new characters, learn the island is being terrorized by a villain, Luffy decides he wants to help out his new friends and beat up the bad guy and due to his plot armor he wins, rinse and repeat. That's it, sail to an island and do the same shit for 1000 chapters.

And each island they're sailing to, are they trying to figure out leads to find the One Piece, are they trying to figure out how to you know basically progress the story and find the One Piece and gather together clues and stuff? HELL NO. They're just doing all types of shit that has nothing to do with the main story, all of this shit feels like FILLER, all of it feels like filler.

What has anything that they've done throughout the whole series had anything to do with finding the One Piece? Now, I'll give you the first couple (and they were horrible by the way) like hundred chapters where he's kinda like just assembling his crew because that's how the story starts off, he goes from island to island assembling his crew and then again in typical One Piece repetitive fashion: we get the overdramatic backstory for the character then the character joins the crew. But after the crew is assembled, why are they still not doing what they're supposed to be doing?

It's ridiculous man and it just shows that this is pure milking at its finest because the creator knows he can continue to milk this trash and the idiots will still watch it and read it. The story is full of cheesy ass comedy that only an immature moron would find funny, full of snot infested crying. It's just way too childish. This is the most childish shonen out there.

0/10

All buzzwords with no meaning, no real criticism. If you are going to be this vapid just type "wan piss sux i h8 it" and get on with your life.

>"no one in cowboy bebop and many other stories {headcanon} much either"

What’s with the author’s bizarre fixation upon cartoony, idiotic/ugly looking characters with no appeal?
By drawing every newly introduced character like that, he’s basically resigning them to always and forever be useless pieces of shit, doomed to a short, gimmicky life. Eventually, with that kind of shitty treatment, the reader begins picking out who’s really important to the plot by which bad dudes look kind of serious, and if not, appears dangerous if dropped on one’s foot. God awful character designs to go along with god awful characters.

nice essay btw. shitlord

>You know there's only a few characters in One Piece that are pivotal to the story
There are hundreds of characters that are pivotal to the story. Your idea of what the story is, is just retarded

why does this retard write massive texts. no one cares. shounen fag.
