Yes, it only took 30 years when the rest of the competition retired.

 

[kekaro]

Bleach tybw anime clears

 

[Rumble]

One Piece's best years have been behind for a long time.

 

[Mr. Reloaded]

The massive success of the live action series kinda solidifies it lol.

 

[RayanOO]

Popularity wise it is kinda the golden age of One Piece

- the live action

One piece in the culture is at an all time high ; - you have real live people who uses One Piece reference to demonstrate/revolt
- You have people who use One piece termes and characters to talk on twitter / to debate etc
- you have more and more people wearing One piece shirt and Outfit (Uniqlo etc)

One piece really made a breakthroughs in the main stream culture

Now writing wise : I don’t want to talk about it

 

[soupongo]

Fuck no

One piece is very popular but popular doesn't mean good, look at how popular millenials were in their time now they are considered cringe by everyone

Not really in fact longevity has actually hurt one piece sales per volume. When it passed dragonball in sales in the early 2000s it had the most sales per volume in history now it’s not top 5.

You need to qualify what you mean by Golden Age.

True, Marineford and the following arc from the hype is when it peaked in sales no?

But I'm talking about cultural significance and popularity worldwide. It's mainstream now.

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

In terms of what? Popularity or quality? My answer to each of these is very different lmao

Anime in general is more mainstream now. By the early 2010s even in America, it’s weakest market, it was still easily the second most popular running anime after Naruto

It was being lapped by Naruto and DBZ. And it was honestly almost irrelevant compared to shows like FMA and Death Note impact wise.

This is a great example

 

[zzShinichi]

Nah fuck this One Piece is dead to me with how Zoro's been treated lately

 

[ZenZu]

This is a great example

As cringe as millenials might be Gen Z is even more cringe. Most people understand they don't even know how to have basic social interactions. They're super awkward people in general.

Millennials have Tesla supplier and Kekaro tho, how do you comeback from that

 

[Franosuke]

Quality-wise? That's a ROFL moment.

Popularity-wise, absolutely

 

[Logiko]

Yes the hype has never been so strong, but it will get even bigger (unless the hatred you see here spreads too far). Just like we knew it would get bigger 10 years ago, One Piece will be a world wide phenomena by the end and people will try to catch up and probably live the experience with other people.

This will be kind of a historical moment for the manga, comic and literary industry. I don't think people realize. It would be waste to miss that.
