I was really enjoying watching the anime with my brother, it was one of the only ways we could stand to be around each other lol, so I was actually glad it had 1000+ episodes. Then there was a drastic shift in the over-sexualisation. In the beginning there are crazy proportions and little clothing, sure, but it didn’t bother me much. Then suddenly every episode started featuring a woman’s shirt bursting open, or a guy would sexually harass/assault women in “funny” ways. Apparently the creator married a very busty woman and claimed all the extra focus on tits was a loving tribute to his new wife 🙄 I just couldn’t stand it anymore, which was a shame because I was still pretty invested in the story.
Is there any source to this info? Yes there are busty characters but the manga doesnt feel like it focuses on that at all. Try reading it from Thriller Bark as it may be the ridiculous pacing issues that the anime has that extends these scenes you are mentioning.
My brother looked it up, trying to defend the reasoning to convince me to keep watching. It didn’t work. So I don’t know his source, I wasn’t the one looking.
I finished the Arabasta saga, I don’t think I made it far into the next saga. I might try the manga, I handled the busty characters fine. Any particular reason you suggest starting from Thriller Bark?
Oh i thought you were far into it.. I thought you meant Dressrosa or something for the oversexualization in the anime. I suggested thriller bark because thats when it becomes unbearable for the anime. Outside of One Pace.
But if you didnt like it by Alabasta im not sure theres anything to put you back into it.
If anything else, try the manga from that point and see if you like it. Power through it and if by some reason you still dont like it after Enies Lobby I suggest to drop it by then.
