1 year agoI 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.
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?
