One Piece: Burning Blood (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Vita) No, my inability to enjoy One Piece: Burning Blood rests solely with the combat. After the short campaign, I was relieved for find my unfamiliarity with the subject matter did not hinder my ability to enjoy the game. Not one to back down from a challenge, I agreed. So when I was asked if I wanted to review the new One Piece game, I worried I wouldn’t be able to follow it because nearly two decades of aversion to anime had left me ignorant to what I would come to find out is the most popular manga of all time. I would have to wait until next week’s “exciting” episode and even then the promise of an epic battle may not be fulfilled.įor the next 17 years or so I avoided Japanese cartoons like the plague, only recently opening myself up to them with Attack on Titan.

By the time the credits sped by, I realized I wasn’t going to see this fight. I agreed and proceeded to sit through an incredibly boring half hour episode where two characters just talked about how they needed to get more powerful for the fight ahead. I had heard of the show before but never watched it.īack then, my jawn was Rugrats and Doug. After we were done burning the roofs of our mouths, he asked me if I wanted to watch a cartoon called Dragon Ball Z. Many years ago I was over at a friends house eating ham and cheese Hot Pockets as we just lounged about like the lazy tweens we were.
