Naruto Thread (Spoilers For Sure)

Frankly it's because naruto is about ninja's, while one piece is about pirates, which the western scene kind of stopped caring about since PotC, that and assassins creed. Plus the animation has always been unique to the show. Although one piece is also notorious for it's terrible funimation dubs, that also pretty much solidified it's problems. I mean seriously who censors guns for...frekin nothing, like bare hands, it was ridiculous lmao

Well, Assassins creed: pirates edition was only last year.

Honestly though, one piece isn't really about pirates at all other than the fact they own ships, whether that's a good thing or not is up in the air(I'd say it probably is).
I guess it failed at redefining "pirate" like naruto did "ninja" but then ninja was always a more campy silly idea anyway, which meant people were less attached to it then the idea of a "pirate" in the west where we've got tons of stories and films about them.
