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
Seconding this recommendation. I had literally no interest in One Piece in any forms, but agreed to watch the live action with my partner. It was so good we finished the season in a day and I watched the whole thing a second time within 48 hours.
I then consumed as much content about the actors as possible because they have amazing energy and so strongly embody their characters and I can’t wait for the second season, but I still have no interest in the anime or manga.
It’s a goofy setting about a person who goes through a lot but maintains a positive attitude and lifts the people around him up. I can give almost the exact same description about Ted Lasso. They both have a feel-good main character that makes me feel better about the world as I watch them.
