ALT: a picture of a conversation in Teams between two coworkers. One coworker says:

LOL You should read One Piece Its such a good story in such an easy to digest format Too much “good content” is locked behind like super serious overtones Shit gets too heavy too much

the other person responds:

not only will I not be reading it, I will not be watching it either if you contact me again about this, I will seek legal action

As a huge fan of One Piece, I’m confused by the co-worker. Are they indicating that One Piece lacks any serious overtones? because the world of One Piece is consistently shown to be a constant hell, where your only choice is whether to suffer on land at the hands of the government, or enter the endless struggle of the sea. It consistently has some of the most genuinely heartbreaking and miserable moments of any anime I’ve ever watched. I cry at least once an arc, typically a few times. I can’t think of an anime that gets any heavier more consistently.

I know it’s good, I just don’t feel like sitting to watch most shows, let alone that one. Maybe I’ll see it if I have someone to watch it with. Otherwise, I’m just not interested.

I would instead recommend just reading the manga. No filler, read at your own pace, it’s my favorite series ever
