The 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear.
Great answer. Although I cannot imagine that the novels written by Moers work nearly as well when translated to other languages as they do in German.
Don Quixote felt like a cultured one piece.
Definitely
Why?
Based answer too bad terry.g went over budget and fricked the movie up
You know my initial thought was that this was stupid, but I can SLIGHTLY see it just with how many different slightly-intertwined "arcs" there are, how many weird ensemble characters there are and the weird comedic, borderline-fantasy tone it takes at some points.
i also would like to know books like one piece with tall subby women
The Odyssey

A certified classic.
I really like one piece

hijacking your thread OP. Post kino spreads NOW
Treasure Island
The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano. It's an extremely popular slave narrative, but he ended up lucky (by slave standards, of course) and ended up sold to a ship captain. Most of the book is him sailing around the Caribbean wheeling and dealing, trying to buy his freedom.
damn, MOZART LOOKED LIKE THAT?????
Oh damn you're right, that's where the wewuzzers get that "black Mozart" picture from
One Piece is basically Against the Day, Moby Dick, the Divine Comedy, Don Quixote and the Bible. I’m not joking.
I'm fricking stupid, of course Moby Dick is a good suggestion! It's a little dense though, and if OP is a One Piece fan, he might not have the attention span for it. The 1956 movie is good at least, if you don't want to read a(n excellent) 500 page whaling manual with bits of story interspersed
Why don quijote?
One Piece is melodramatic kitsch for shallow, low EQ people (omg I am so fricking sad my face is LITERALLY bubbling with tears and snot!!!), so some dime store fantasy adventure novel.
moron.

A comedy anime should not make me cry as much as One Piece does. Chopper's backstory made me sob like a little kid.
I've tried to start the anime multiple times after seeing it so widely praised but the insanely overdone emotions (like this anon said), the similarly overdone voice acting, and the ridiculous characters totally kill any desire to keep going with it. These things aren't unique to one piece and seem to occur in a lot of anime, and they're partially why there are only a couple of anime I really enjoy. I guess maybe it's just because these shows are literally for children. Anyway, why do you guys like it so much?
To be fair, i started reading it when i was a literal child, so i don't care if it's on the nose or lacks nuance.
It's just a fun journey innit?
hey! frick you!

Frick, I worked at a research Library, and I forgot the name of a really good early 1800s publication of a Captian Cook like explorer. It was Water world or something, sorry, cant remember. I do remember it had a paplable sense of the adventuring zeitgeists of the era, like the guy followed the published newpaper articles on the various experiences of british traders, whalers, navymen and the like who were going all around the world at the time. so it felt really raw.
that sounds pretty familiar, cant remember what though
amia dao younay-wo aki asuneee!!!!
I dropped one piece after they got to wano. I did that because I wanted to wait till the anime ends before continuing. But I could already feel the drop in quality. It's going to be downhill from here. Katakuri was the peak.
I dropped One Piece when they started doing the Naruto edo tensei stuff
Like OP you have to admit it’s going to go to shit now. They’re repeating Naruto
This manga is obnoxiously troonyshit. "Unique" for the sheer sake of it.
is one piece like berserk but for early teens?
>t.old moron
what?

Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb is pretty One Piece, it has pirates freeing slaves and intelligent sea monsters and living ships, which all checks out.
And also Lucien's True History, it's where Oda got some of his ideas from.
Gulliver's travels is obviously one of the inspirations
