About 4 years ago, the YouTuber penguinz0, also known as MoistCr1TiKaL, described the anime One Piece as “the most boring series of all time.” Now he has made his final judgment after watching One Piece for 4 years.
What does the streamer think of One Piece? In early 2021, around 4 years ago, the YouTuber MoistCr1TiKaL apparently started to catch up on the entire anime of One Piece. But his conclusion was sobering:
- Within 5 months, the streamer reportedly watched 31 episodes. That’s one episode he watched every 5 days.
- For the last 3 weeks, he is said to have constantly fallen asleep while watching (via X).
- According to a Reddit user, MoistCr1TiKaL described the anime as “the most boring show ever.” He would have recommended the anime to those suffering from insomnia.
However, this opinion has now changed, as the streamer and YouTuber explains in a new video (via TikTok). Despite his sobering conclusion at the beginning of the anime, MoistCr1TiKaL persisted and continued watching One Piece.
His conclusion about the anime has completely switched. One Piece has one of the best-written fictional stories, and the depth of the anime is incredible. The series seems to have become one of his favorites.
Perhaps the cool ships from the anime also convinced him:
MoistCr1TiKaL changes his mind about One Piece
Why did his opinion change? MoistCr1TiKaL doesn’t directly say why his opinion has changed so drastically. However, through the mentioned depth of the story, it becomes clear that the YouTuber needed some time to warm up to the anime.
He likely only realized with the later episodes how complex the story really is. Although Oda hints at many things from the very beginning, it becomes clear only years later what he meant by that.
Moreover, One Piece is known for the very slow pace of the story. It takes time for the story to fully unfold. That’s why the production team is working on an anime that tells the story in a much shorter version.
Is his opinion important? MoistCr1TiKaL is one of the most well-known opinion bloggers in the world. On his YouTube channel penguinz0, he reaches 16.5 million subscribers. Therefore, many fans are aware of his opinion and evaluate whether they want to watch a series based on it.
Additionally, MoistCr1TiKaL vocalizes what many die-hard fans feel: In their view, anyone who doesn’t like One Piece simply hasn’t watched it yet. Thus, they are likely glad that someone with such a large reach can convince others about how good One Piece is.
The YouTuber and Twitch streamer is so successful that he has spent 4 million dollars in 4 years without it hurting him. In the end, he hasn’t even gained much from his expenses: Twitch streamer explains how he burned 4 million dollars in 4 years: “I would do it again”
