In terms of sheer story telling, what comes close to One Piece, if there anything that does?

Comments

Nafea

the manga Alice in Borderland

Amzo

Not to my knowledge but i really enjoy reading Kingdom for its story!

IKONE

None man, one piece then everything else

Angry

Aot

Hamza

As far as manga is concerned, Kingdom

rokitup

Nothing …. Haha I like hxh tho which is great

Saleem Ali

In terms of storytelling. They don't really come close, but they're the next best: gintama (serious arcs), Berserk, Vagabond, HxH (chimera ant arc), Full metal alchemist, Vinland, AOT, made in Abyss (season 2)

Mokha

Tower of God

Crowseye

Absolutely nothing. Sometimes you see something and instantly know nothing will ever be half as good and that you're witnessing greatness take shape in front of you. So you just sit back and live it because there will never be anything like this again.

Ellis Beck

In my personal opinion, nothing comes close to One Piece.

Ellis Johnson

Within manga, Kingdom comes closest for me. Outside of Manga, the first book of the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings, and the TV show Vikings.

MadScientist_29

i will die on this rock,tower of god only thing that may come close

Ea

In my opinion berserk is peak upon peak, nothing touches it so far for me

Pepe

Imo Vinland has something special, is what i consider is the closest to OP in terms of storytelling

Digit

In terms of the size and scope of the story, Naruto and AoT are a step below. One Piece might be comparable to ancient Greek/Roman/Egyptian myths.

Nafea

Attack on titan for sure

Ershy

Gintama probably the closest tbh. length wise and how the story is (no spoils ofc)

Daquan

Berserk, Vinland and Attack on Titan.

Aaron

Berserk 100%

Suryema

Easily Attack on Titan

PieRat

I like a lot of series but in terms of storytelling i cant think of anything that comes close.

Gordon Agrippa

Attack on titan but not even close tbh

Zesyph

There are fantasy books/novels I rate more like The Way of Kings. If its just anime manga then I cant think of any

SterNight

Attack on Titan and Berserk. Vinland as well, but I think the other two are better.

SterNight

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is also up there with my previous comment

Doffy

Attack on titan probably

Rayhan Ali

im the biggest one piece fan but Attack on Titan has a better story. Pure genius. Imo, im kinda shocked you don't rate it

Daniel Pothier

Nothing comes close. AOT is good but no author could keep a story going this long quite like Oda

Stefano Stef

hxh would be my 1st if togashi would not have had back pain :/ others are FMAB, Naruto, AoT

Stefano Stef

Non Anime Breaking Bad and Vikings

Lulu

Vagabond too

Daquan

I've heard nothing but great things about Vagabond. I haven't read it yet tho.

Busta Riggz

Vagabond has definitely got insanely good writing. It has impacted me a lot. But One piece is simply in a different tier for me personally.

Ryan FT Squad

I don't think there is any on par with OP but I'd say vagabond, kingdom, GTO, hxh and berserk would be up there.

Ryan FT Squad

Oh and Vinland idk how I forgot about that.

Ben

Hmm. Lord of the Rings.

Abdel

The best storytelling series are mangas that haven't or won't get an anime like '20th Century Boys', 'Vagabond' & one of my favorites 'The Climber', never thought I'd enjoy a manga about mountain climbing lol

Abdel

🤣🤣🤣

NANA

Only thing that could ever come close is 'The One Piece' by Witt Studio

King Premo

I don't think there's anything that can be compared to One pieces story. I am a bit surprised by so many Tower of god mentions. I'll assume they mean the managa because the anime was really good but there's several I'd still put over. Even the current Frieren I think is better than TOG. Hunterxhunter would be dope too.

Zubayr

if oda fumbles the ending then i would agree

Krissy1022

Attack on Titan....you should consider giving it another shot!!!

Lualua

I think, if you are looking for a really good development of story and its watchable, its Mob Psycho. If you are looking for "insane but fun" story, its Baki. If you are looking for the "unexpected and clever" storytelling, its JJK now. Berserk is a great contender as a manga, but it is unfinished and will be. Truly shame. Kingdom is a great choice as well, really well written in the long term. The consistency and quality is great in OP, but I would love to see it outgrowing the tipical Shonen genre like attack on titan did. That holds it back so much, its unreal. If anyone says its Naruto/Breaking bad/Bleach/Dragon ball/Rick and morty, you know they are just STANs for that product, never seen anything else.

Zubayr

only thing that beats one piece to me is KINGDOM, but kingdom is also based of real chinese history, so is it really "story" telling 😅

Nirvana

In terms of world building and fights etc its has to be TOG, then u have like the ones mentioned above. But i'd also like to say Peerless Dad, that man is the father of the century what a man.

Mel

Inoue's works. Vagabond and slamdunk.

Zanarkand

The people mentioning AoT are coping and they know it. Oda's work is a once in a life time experience imo. BUT if there is one series that comes somewhat close, well... that would be Boku No F*cking Herooo! FAAAKKKKK BIRMINGHAM SMAAAAASHHH 🦸🏼‍♂️ 🤜💥😵

MartiNReacTs

Prob nothing but the closest I can think of are attack on titan and HxH2011

MartiNReacTs

He dropped it at s3 p2 around ep 8.... if thats something u dont like, then I guess its not a show for u

Viniacious

HxH, Tower of God and Radiant, if we look at intricate world building with payoffs etc

Tryol

In terms of world building ToG. In terms of just story telling 20th Century Boys, but it's much shorter and a different genre.

Baker

Storytelling in every media? Lots, One Piece gets left behind by a considerable amount (BB, BCS, Band of Brothers, Chernobyl, The Wire, Fargo tv series etc. and that's not counting film, books and video games). In anime/manga? I can think of a few stories that are at minimum on the same level if not higher. Berserk, Vagabond, Vinland Saga, Oyasumi Punpun, Monster, 20th Century Boys, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ashita no Joe. Just to name a few.

Entia

AoT/Vinland

Jakuza7

There is no shonen that has as good story telling as one piece.Only seinens like berserk,vagabond,monster and many more have great story telling like one piece.

Tserriednich

after reading togashi(hxh) first nothing can compare, but oda is a genuis too dont get me wrong, cant just compare them imo

JI

Tower of God for me mainly for the sheer scale - GOAT manhwa. Check out the anime Khan as a starter, I'd love to see you read the manhwa if you enjoy the anime. I am also a fan of Mahouka series (anime + Light Novels), Claymore (manga), the Index/Railgun series (anime + Light Novels), and Re:Zero series (anime + Light Novels)

Grapheen

I think One Piece is 1st. After that, Berserk is the closest for me, then Kingdom & Tower of God, then maybe HxH. I haven't read Vegabond or Vinland or FMA, and I dropped AoT about half way through, so I can't say anything about those.

Arariiii

Hxh and beserk

MadScientist_29

he already reacted to the anime,said he's waiting for s2

Kurozumi Zoro

please....stop lol. 90% of these shows you named are not even near the conversation compare to OP in terms of storytelling. You can like them more, that's fine it's your opinion, but objectively they're not on the same level. Especially the whole top section where you named non-anime/manga series. It's actually quite embarrassing you even named them here tbh.

Kurozumi Zoro

I don't think anything does personally. Definitely nothing in western media. There's some masterpieces out there, but just in terms of storytelling, nah none. The closest I would say is Breaking Bad. As for anime/manga, the only shonen I think is pretty close is AoT. And a handful of seinen series as well that come close too like Kingdom, Berserk, Vinalnd, Vagabond. One Piece is definitely #1 and these 5 or 6 series I named are the only ones that come to a close 2nd.

Murteza

game of thrones

Frank

Kengan ashura

Baker

Nice bait bud, gonna have to try harder, especially when your username is what it is

Zvangi

Game of Thrones is the best

Anomaly

If you're talking about world building and lore then it's hard to name something because One Piece has a huge advantage over being so long. Legend of the Galactic Heroes is something that I would put up there. If you are talking about good writing and characters then there's plenty. Nana, Ping Pong the Animation, Rose of Versailles, Shiki, Gankutsuou, March comes in like a lion, etc.

Bustersword88

If there is one piece of fiction that outclasses One Piece still, it would be Lord of the Rings. But if Oda can nail the ending of One Piece and resolve all of the story arcs of the Straw Hats and all of the plot threads this story has then he has surpassed LOTR in my opinion.

Ben

Exactly where I stand. I think I have a bias with LOTR bc I watched it for the first time with my dad, but One Piece will definitely pass it if it nails the ending.
