A woman appeared in Reddit To open an interesting debate among fans of “One Piece” to the confess that she began to see the anime for her husband, but after 100 episodes, she simply does not want to continue. And now he doesn't know how to tell him this without breaking his heart. In her publication, she explained:
- «My husband loves One Piecehas a tattoo throughout the leg in honor of the series. For him, it is the best story ever told. It never caught my attention because of his style, duration and content, but after much insistence, I agreed to give him a chance. I saw 100 episodes and I can't get hooked. I am not interested in fights and I feel that the story advances extremely slow. My husband is seeing him with me and understands my reasons, but assures me that he improves and that the story is incredible. The problem is that I have already reached this point and I feel that I will never like it. If I tell you that I don't want to continue, I know it's going to hurt. Should I give you more time? Or have any advice to soften the blow?».
His situation soon generated opinions, with some believing that 100 episodes are more than enough to decide whether you like something or not, while others argue that “One Piece” needs time to take off in narrative question. But beyond the debate about the rhythm of “One Piece”, the story reflects a common problem in relationships: to what extent do you have to commit to your partner's tastes?
- «They are supposed to both are adults and not preteen children. You can try a simple 'sorry, I carry 100 episodes and I really don't like it'. If you bother, that is your problem. No anime is so serious».
- «It is your husband, you are the one to know how to communicate with him. He will give him a little sadness at the time, but he is a normal adult, he will happen very quickly».
- «No, 100 episodes is much more than giving it a fair opportunity. I only know honest, tell him that it is not yours. Better look for something you both want to see. They will have fun more if none have to force themselves to see it».
- «He assures me that he becomes better, well, he is lying to you. The rhythm actually worsens later. It is not even an opinion, objectively they begin to adapt less chapters per episode».
- «I could never. Every time I show someone a new series, if I see not to hook it, I do not press it to keep seeing it».
- «I only know honest. My wife loves the documentaries of real crimes, I don't, so when I see them, I start seeing anime in the laptop, playing, working in D&D, etc. Doing things in parallel is key in any relationship, in my opinion. And even if I understand that you love what he loves, surely what matters most is that you love him and respect his tastes. 100 episodes is a considerable effort if you are not enjoying it. Leave it and be honest».
- «Tell him you don't like it. They are adults, talk as such. It is not complicated».
- «'Honey, this is absolute garbage'».
- «I would simply tell. It can overcome it or stay around. My ex angered me for not like Narutoto the point of scolding me for preferring One Piece and Sailor Moonand then left me to defend my own tastes. There I understood that I should do what I want and give it to who you don't like. I hope your husband is more mature and understand that they don't have to love the same things just because they are married».
- «It doesn't become faster. It becomes worse. At first they adapt as 2.5 chapters per episode. Later, fall to 0.75. If you want to advance faster, I recommend the manga (yes, I know that they always recommend the manga, but in this case there is a valid reason to do so)».
- «Total respect to see 100 episodes of something you don't like, that requires a certain endurance. I think most fans of One Piece They agree that the anime improves later, but if you do not like this heights, I doubt that something changes it».
- «When something is passionate about, sometimes we feel that it is part of us or that when enjoying it we join something bigger. Therefore, when someone rejects what we love, sometimes we take it as personal. I think you are already aware of this, that's why you made this publication».
- «If you really feel like this, what you need to do is assure your husband that, although One Piece You have not caught you, you appreciate and value the part of it that loves the series. Most people can understand this if you tell them sincere».
- «You are married, be honest among you. 100 episodes and you still don't like it? You are wasting your time, and tell your husband. I know that it hurts to see that someone does not like the same as you, surely that is what he will feel, but you have to be honest. They are no longer teenagers, you can surely handle it, especially if you come from you, your wife».
- «You gave him more than enough opportunity. Just tell him that you don't want to see her anymore».
- «The fact that you have seen 100 episodes of something and you still don't like it is more dedication than I would have. The 3 episodes rule exists for something. If after 100 episodes you tell him that it is not for you, he will surely understand».
- «There is no reason to force you to see something that you do not like, neither for your husband nor for anyone. Tell him honestly and look for something that both enjoy seeing together».
- «If the problem is the rhythm, try with the manga. The anime has the worst pacing of all time, but the manga corrects that. Although you just don't like it, there is nothing more to talk».
- «I only know honest. It is not necessary to insult the series to stop insisting. 100 episodes is more than enough. I tried with 150 and I couldn't hook myself».
- «If a story needs more than 100 episodes to get good, it cannot be 'the best story ever told'. If you think he will not accept that you don't like it One Piecethen the problem is larger than only this anime. You can handle the truth. In addition, there are much better series that can enjoy together without waiting for 100 episodes to get interesting».
- «When you see anime as an adult, if you don't hook you in 3 episodes, leave it. You do not have time to wait for the story to make it good '200 episodes later».
- «I am a fan of One Piece And still would not force anyone to see the entire anime. There are rhythm problems. If you really want to know the story, seek One Pace or the manga. But if it is not for you, you already tried, and it is fine to leave it».
- «You should never give in to your insistence. Some fans of One Piece They act as religious missionaries trying to convert people».
- «Friend, you married him. Have the courage to tell you the truth, it's just an anime».
- «One Piece is not for everyone. If you already tried and you didn't like it, it's fine. There are many other anime outside».
