Ranking The Best World Building In Anime 

But that would be being responsible! We all know morj isn't that

The best arcs clears chimera and marineford its not comparable

Gintama is so underrated

This sounds like Marineford is a good arc and at the same level as the chimera ant arc. Not even in the slightest.

​@@jojogoesplaceslol sure bud

@@jojogoesplaces Marineford is about a billion times better than the Chimera Ant arc

I agree, but there is the problem that building up something that big and balancing all of its moving pieces takes away a lot from the phenomenal main cast that made the first half of the story so good. The aspect that I think makes LOTR better is that a lot of the world building is relegated to additional notes and separate origin stories such as the Silmarillion, with the books continuing to focus on the members of the fellowship until the end.

Hardly. What makes LOTR the god of worldbuilding is its astonishing coherence. One piece by contrast is based on whatever the author likes for each arc. It's more flippant.

Absolutely agree. Obviously the dark continent is not explored much as of yet. But the whale on which the current arc takes place has a fantastic, complex layout that is not hard to follow if you pay attention. It is highlyintecrate and all the moving parts of the succession war are connected even though they all happen in various parts of the ship.

@@Northbirdy I mean that's just one part of the manga that hasn't even been adapted into the anime yet so it's really difficult to rank the series just off that.

@@eggmon3813 What does an anime adaptation have to do with world building? You could use the exact same points I listed above for the palace invasion of the chimera ant arc aswell.

@@Northbirdy The anime adaptation part is a bit irrelevant but it’s just to show that the whale arc is only a small section of the series. But for the chimera ant arc, it didn’t have much world building? Maybe my memory is foggy, but the palace invasion had… 0 world building? Like sure they mapped out where everyone was in the palace, and it was all super intricate, that’s not world building though, that’s just having a dynamic battlefield/plot

I stopped watching HxH after around 100 episodes (during chimera arc) mostly because i was so disapointed by it's world building. So up to the point where i stopped, it's d tier, imo.

Death note world building is not that good, but to be fair thats what its supposed to be like. It did well in establishing certain rules id say but its just okay at best.

​@musabs5848 its extremely good

Chat clearly don’t know what world building means if they think AoT is not S

It has nothing to do with the ending one piece fans just feel threatened by aot and hate on it at every chance

Still wouldn't put it in s though probably around b

Nobody feels threatened about fucking attack on Titan lmao it’s amazing story but YOUR brain dead if you actually think attack on titan comes close to one piece in anything lmao it’s not even in the same league. one piece king

​@neutral_10, then what anime are you putting in s

The Dark Continent is not yet fully explored

@@justaway6901 is why he gave a B. I didn't have the patience to watch stream i thought it was a 10min vdo or something. So skipped to the end take a look at the tier list

Yea idk why it’s that high either

I agree that it doesn't have the best world building, but the country name thing is not a detractor. We see in Hashirama flashback that because the "Land of (element) and the village hidden in the (element)" system worked so well for the Land of Fire and the Village hidden in the Leaves, that newly forming nations all copied that system. Once the 5 great nations copied the system and the naming scheme, it makes sense that smaller nations wanting to be on the big stage would also adopt it.

@@kenjiyst1352 so much for a "hidden" Village If other nations can copy its naming pattern in such cordination that there ARE no duplicates at all. The country name schemes feel artificial as fuck, and are 100% a detractor, but not the worst ofender. That would be the kaiju-style the so called "ninjas" fight in.

Tell me whats the difference between naruto and op worldbuilding

@@sadkeryasar9355 its a world of difference for anyone that read/watched both and has at least minimum regard for Fair and critical comparison. Just the name of the nations is already a world of difference, as one Piece locations have more realistic names, despite being high fantasy.

Which one?the only anime i can think about that can rival one piece is re:zero.

@@thelastushiha3394 Personally I think Naruto deserves just as much credit as OP gets. Also from this list I’d put Berserk and Bebop up there. You could also name a decent amount of other stuff that wasn’t on the list

​@@thelastushiha3394nah, don't put this sh!t close to OP.

There's too much cohesion in the world of OP that connects it perfectly, a lot of mysteries that are planted ahead of time and got a deserved pay offs, even AoT has like one or two of these at best. And I don't get what retcons are you on about, other than Haki being super awkwardly introduced, may be Yamato. In terms of the ground rules of the world, the interconnected nature of it - no other series (I'm talking only anime/manga) do that.

@@saitamaharuhiko8337 Haki, devil fruit awakenings, Nika in its entirety, Oden backstory, Rocks, this list goes on. Now when I say “retcon” it doesn’t mean it’s all negative, but Oda is clearly adding large new aspects of the world and its history very late into the game. People want to act like he plans every single aspect of the story when we know for a fact, he has admitted it himself, that that isn’t true. Vivi was not planned to be a princess or even an important part of the story, now she’s so important that she’s part of the D clan. I’m fine with big things being added and attempting to make up excuses for them, but at a certain point I roll my eyes by how much Oda is praised when clearly people will just gloss over how much is thrown in haphazardly.

It was pretty boring

It is written like a tale for 5 year olds, you are tripping.

Part of the issue is that it is pretty old (stated in 1987) and was basically "what of Fist of The North Star but in Victorian England and with horror elements like Vampires" so was pretty derivative even at the time. Now with how much battle Shonen has progressed nothing really makes it stand put, so it seems SUPER generic apart from the setting. If part 1 and 2 didn't have the unique settings, they would be so forgettable.

I think everyone agrees that quantity≠better world building But it happens that One Piece has both.

daily reminder that will probably fall on your deaf ears: your opinion is dumb

Lol “Kyubi cloaks”. Checks out.

I mean it's true that quantity alone doesn't make something good, but how much the author delves into the details of the world, its history, geography, politics and connections also matters. And when there are both quality and quantity then it's great worldbuilding, like in One Piece, or LotR, or literally every other fantasy that's commonly praised for its worldbuilding. I am curious to hear what stories you would say are great worldbuilding-wise though

​​@@mistercontroversial take your weirdo fandom war elsewhere kid

The stans not gonna like this

People say anything just to be different😂

Lazy 😂😂😂😂

Lucci and kaki 😂😂 mate people grow stronger not just the main characters wtf are u saying

Alright let me prove everything you just said wrong 1. Yonko crews did fought each other. Shanks was fighting kaido's crew during marineford, Big mom went to wano with the intention of fighting kaido etc. 2. There is fck ton of pirate history you are just blind to not see it, god valley, battle of edd war, conflict at lodestar, shanks vs mihawk,doffy's undertaking etc 3. I have no idea what you mean about the supernova 4. Kaku and lucci aren't very stong, they literally got low dif by stussy

Its not that the story is that different at world building. Would even say Super has even better one as there at least there is been hinted at the universe tournament. About everything in Dragonball(Z is not a seperate manga, so it should been seen as one) is just stumbling into the next arc. Nothing hints at a tournament, at Red Ribbon Army, Piccolo, Saiyans, Freezer, Cell or Boo beforehand.

​@@crosis2 no. Thats just more, stuff thrown in. The quality isnt as good. Dbz fleshed out their locations

He is rating dragon ball as a whole

He himself is not clear about what sot of world building he is talking about and rating at which, he messed up with what he was talking about.
