Japanese anime & manga
Perhaps there has already been a discussion about this. I'm sure there is. But rather than necromancing an old topic, I decided to make this topic.
So, Japanese anime and manga... we've all heard of it, right? Some hate it, some love it and some love to hate it. I'm personally not a fan of Japanese anime or manga in general, but there are a few series that I really love with the bottom of my heart. One of them is One Piece.

I love One Piece because the characters in that anime feel so real. They're true characters with true personalities and interesting characteristics and personal histories. I also love the whole pirate and adventure vipe that is going on in One Piece. What I find super funny is that One Piece mixes old pirate themes with modern industrial technology, creating some wacky alternative universe where everyone still sails on old wooden sailing ships, yet they have modern guns, TVs, phones and walky-talkies in the shape of snails. It's crazy, but super cool at the same time.
But yeah, that's just me. What do you guys think? What is your opinion on Japanese anime and manga? Which anime or manga series do you love or hate and why?
