One fanshares, “The first manga to ever beat Batman. The first manga to ever compete with Superman. It was the first anime live-action to ever dominate Netflix. The first anime to ever appear on the biggest screen in the world. There are no limits to One Piece’s greatness.”
“The first anime in history to do this. The first series to do this. And we’re up, up, up. This is the largest platform in the world. I swear it’s nice and nothing else,” saysanother.
Another fansays, “The global recognition of anime has come a long way. Starting from Ninja Scroll and Dragon Ball. I always knew it was special. If you had asked me in the early ’90s if I thought it would be as big as it is today, I would have said yes, but with the rate of its explosion, no way.”
