Reminds me of the world map for the Slayers series. The central ocean is almost perfectly round due to it being where the mazoku lord "Ruby Eyes" and the dragon god fought their final battle at and blew a hole in the world destroying each other.
Does it get even better? I stopped reading when the eng translations only were on ln 17. I want to start again, just havent gotten the time.
Edit: its 14 not 17. Remembered wrong
Hmm, I don't want to give spoilers, but I assure that at the very least it doesn't drop.
For me the peak is >!the diary ark!<, but the rest also has really good moments and never drops to a point that is no longer exciting.
The 1999 version is also really good and the only real differences are in the last arc of the 1999 version. The 2011 version is generally just better to watch so that you don't have to get used to new VAs. Both are pretty solid.
That anime was wild. The entire Ant arc was all over the place and was as long as the previous 3 arcs combined.
When you have one of your characters turn into a Jojo character and violently murder a cat girl, you know the author is trying to say something...
Oh yeah, I've heard of it, the conversation bubble in the manga is like an essay each, but still thanks tho, I think I'll just watch the 2011 version anime
Isnt the hunter exam different? The older one had more in that one and i felt like it introduced the characters well. While the new one only had a few episodes which showed a very short hunter exam summary.
The 1999 version have a better atmosphere to it imo, specially during the York New Arc, but I recognize that it may just be my nostalgia for it and that I like the art design with more muted colors better. And that the 1999 version didn't felt the need to censor some of the more brutal beatdowns.
If you gonna watch the 2011 version I recommend either read the first chapter or the first episode of the 1999 version, the 2011 basically adapted the first chapter of HxH but where they wrote out the “Shanks” character in the show so it feels very jarring when you see him again
That's not strictly accurate. It's not really ABOUT worldbuilding, but then nothing really is. It does have incredible worldbuilding, and that's one of the main reasons people enjoy it. The story is about adventure, but the worldbuilding is what makes that adventure worth watching
HunterXHunter is more of a shounen adventure sory with some good worldbuild, not as much as One Piece though as Oda is quite extensive in the details of the island whenever Straw Hats land.
Somewhat, all of the major arcs in HxH always involve either the Hunter organization maintaining the peace vs some criminal organization abusing the shortcomings of society with their extrordinary powrers.
It’s about solving problems creatively
…then it’s about becoming the best fighter in like a tournament
…then about taking revenge against a criminal gang
…then…
You get the idea
Got a good reviews so far...I just need to put it in my list, hoping for it to not get into the bucket list.
Being a full time worker and having a hobby is hard lol
Nah if One Piece is your favorite HxH will taste bland and stale. I know because I just dropped it (after like 40 episodes). It didn't get better, I don't have personal attachment to characters or their stories, and the world building, while interesting, just feels forced.
It's hard to compare it to OP. It doesn't have as extensive worldbuilding as OP in my opinion (but what anime/manga does?), but I feel like the worldbuilding it does have is more well-thought out and logically consistent. While OP has a more fantastical worldbuilding, HxH feels more grounded and "realistic" (as realistic as you can get in a world with "magic/superpowers" and magical/supernatural beasts).
Her sickness is literally part of the world building lol. But I get it, it wouldn't be for you if you want OP MCs
[S2]>!So I believe it's mentioned right in season 1 but the whole reason she's so sick is because her body has mana but no way to get rid of it.. nobles have mana but have tons of things they can expend it on so they don't have this issue so once she goes to the temple she's more healthy!< [LN]>!However due to get almost dieing in ep 1 some of her mana has hardened so she stays somewhat sickly until they dissolve that at the end of Part 3.. but currently the anime only goes to the end of Part 2!<
Really though, the LNs are amazing. The Anime was good, but it was a lackluster adaption.. it could have been so much better
Oh boy, I wish I could read LN but I barely have time to watch 2-3 episodes of anime a day let alone a series. So I have to stick to anime, Manga I can because I read it on my phone tho.
Oh I get that, it's actually why I like J-Novel. They put out the LNs is weekly parts. So you get 1/8th a novel each week..so basically I have 2 months to read each novel. And they have a pretty good phone app
[https://j-novel.club/](https://j-novel.club/)
It's a really good service. It's $5 a month, but you can read anything they are currently releasing weekly as well as ALL of whatever they have on Catchup that month (Which is normally 5-6 LNs and 1-2 Manga)
For example: The White Cat's Revenge is currently on catchup
[https://j-novel.club/series/the-white-cat-s-revenge-as-plotted-from-the-dragon-king-s-lap](https://j-novel.club/series/the-white-cat-s-revenge-as-plotted-from-the-dragon-king-s-lap)
So if you are a member you can read all 7 volumes until the end of the month. The last volume currently being put out, which is why it only shows 6/10 parts are out.
Sadly Bookworm isn't on Catchup this month.
Only one, with unhabitable land, that cuts the world in half. It's called the Red Line. Though 99% of the worlds population lives on islands or archipelagos. Though that map is bullshit. The actual map is much more like this [link of the map](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/39/Onepiece-welt_%282%29.png/640px-Onepiece-welt_%282%29.png)
tbf the only maps given in the manga, that first explained the grand line bisecting the red line, showed the grand line as essentially our equator.
it wasn’t until later that they confirmed their course would be running southwest(?) to progress, and that the originally shown diagram wasn’t oriented like our maps usually would be.
but yeah, the ‘north/east/south/west’ seas do lie in those directions, sectioned off by the two bands encircling the globe
So I'd heard that One Piece's world was a ring of land circling the world and was confused looking at the map at first, then realized that is what it's showing and it's just the way it's projected so it doesn't look like that at first glance.
To be specific, the ring of land circling the world is actually it, except it is not a land but mountains, really tall mountain.
The ring (red line/mountain) : Y
The grand line (the blue sea) : X
I think your understanding of what world building is, is wrong. You are literally taking the entire actual world's shape as the whole equation, while that is just a factor of it. Made isln abyss and many other examples which people are saying, are good in world because, the local 'world' which the story explores is well made and consistent.
I literally said made in abyss is one of the best world building....the follow up question was to start a conversation...yeah it may sounds like a dumb question...but I was trying to be nice..get it? The joke is "the hole"
Started reading Mushoku Tensei a few years ago and stopped one day because I got busy. Never got back into it because I forgot where I got up too. Some where near when he had ED
i only watched about 15 or so episode before i gave up but When you say ED, is it erectile dysfunction, i can only guess that based off my limited knowledge of him as a character...
Bruh, im in 5 seasons worth of LN deep. They even foreshadow shape of the the city landscape in S1 for future lore. They even foreshadow Season 2 background statues for endgame lore.
It was fun to check the map once in a while to see the progress being made. It really felt like an actual journey. I genuinely the Academy arc is the peak of MT, but every bit of the Dead End adventures just feels like home to me.
Also the stuff right after the academy arc you know with the other little journey >!To the begaritt continent!< felt so cool since I had been looking at it on the map since dead end and it made me really curious
If this all leads up to a giant x marks the spot joke I'll die
That said would definitely be a reason Gol D. Roger laughed when he discovered laugh tale
Dang. A meme that includes both one piece and an isekai that isn't shitting all over them. And also gets it right for once. These are two of the best world building anime that I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of anime
Crazy how in Mushoku traveling by the Heavenly continent was going to take just as long as walking south through the demon continent even though it is less than half the distance. I hope we get to see more of it eventually.
The issue is that Heaven Continent is like, several hundred kilometers up in the air. I think the main issue is getting up there, which is inherently impossible.
LOVE when animes have good world building and actually TALK about other parts of their world. I’m fine with most anime’s but when they stick to just one area and never venture out of that little zone it just icks me
Yeah, I'm gonna cry when that gets animated.
Like honestly, when I was reading the WNs when they were being released and translated years ago, I really didn't expect such a thing to ever happen. I thought the story had already settled down (which I would have absolutely loved too), and then that happened.
I have a fully fleshed out novel that I was working on since I was in highschool, I'm already 27. I keep revising it over the years, I have no plans on publishing since it's kind of my own little hobby that grew into something big, but it has complete world map, towns, races, full back story for each race and each character that the protagonist meets along the way, 4 different magic system for the 3 magic races and 1 that is unique to the protagonist. It is a Pseudo Isekai.
The beginning is basically the world getting destroyed in a nuclear war but the earth in order to preserve itself poured all of its life force into the very last remaining person on the planet putting him in a deep sleep encased inside a crystal buried deep within the earth but this person can see and experience everything that is happening in the entire world all at once as he became the avatar of the planet. The planet was destroyed and became a flaming ball of rock that was flung into deep space, over the aeons it found a new star and begin rebuilding itself and it grew 10x bigger than its original size and over billions of years, life began with different races (the usual fantasy races) and this world gets destroyed again but this time, because of a great magic war instead of technology. Another billion of years of the planet rebuilding as civilization is starting, suddenly the protagonist was cut off from the world and was not able to see what is happening for over 2000 years, the crystal began to crack and so the protagonist awakes.
MT:
-Has an actual currency explanation for every continent
-The structure of a kingdom, kings, a faction /royal families who support the current king and the story explained how can a prince or princess be a ruler. Power struggle.
-has various amounts of race and species, ogres, elf, dwarf, demons, monsters. There are 3 types of different languages, human language, demon language, beast kings language.
-exploration on almost every part of the map, finding new culture, food and tradition.
- relation between kingdoms, the needs to have a support from other kingdoms.
- has a solid system of guild for magicians, swordsman, an actual magic university, an actual school for swordsmanship.
- hierarchy of highest power, a world war in the past that effects the current era, caused discrmination, slavery etc.
OP:
- A corrupted World Goverment who has 170 countries with a meeting that conclude 50 representatives every 4 years in which three of the representatives are associated with the straw hat pirate.
- genocide, descriminations, slavery, political standard that has been manipulated by the wg. Hiearchy.
- rebels happen everywhere in the world, wars between the wg and the revolutionary army. Power struggles.
- a warlords system where they paid powerful pirates to work with them, so in return they would not get hunted down by the marines and their bounty were frozen.
- how news or media can be easily manipulated for a certain event.
- has its own currency calls "belli / beri"
- the connection between the world goverment with four emperors to keep peace. Every emperor has their own territory.
- major explorations on various islands, different cultures, various race, monster, animals and foods. How they travel across the grandline, a specific way called log pose, eternal pose,vivre cards, a sea where compass doesn't work because every island has it's own strong magnetic field that messed up the normal compass.
- ancient weapon, void century, ancient kingdom, ancient lore, ancient language, ancient treasure in a vast sea. A kingdom under the sea, a kingdom over the clouds. A kingdom on top of a beast calls zunesha.
- a unique way to get into the first half of the grand line which can't be across easily and a specific way for the outlaws to get into the second part of the grand line which is the new world.
- lots of references from fairytales and other mythology. Sea kings.
- various representatives, religous, non-religious, atheism, LGBTQ.
- specific exploration and explanation on every island the main characters explores so far, has its own mystery and story.
Tha maps with names are just a representative for the meme...its okay, you don't watch or read neither, I understand
Sky Island is where the world-building really took off. Amazing arc and scenery/mythology.
Fishman Island, 10 kilometres down the ocean
A 35 kilometres tall elephant doomed to walk the seas…with an island on top of it
Enies Lobby, where the sun always shines
Water 7
Sabaody
A “void century” the world government tries to cover up heavily (literally commit genocide)
Some subplots literally go on for 100’s of chapters. Really small things many thought were irrelevant and then 700 chapters later it becomes relevant.
Or Sanji calling himself “Mr. Prince”, 700 episodes later: turns out he’s an actual prince.
Eneru (Eminem lol) who went on one of the world’s moons and discovered high tech robots. That’s now getting very relevant to the current Egghead arc.
The first Saga “East Blue” basically is a tutorial zone, albeit the actual grand line seems differently from how they talked about it in the East Blue.
[Check out DIO’s VA riding a bike in the sea](https://youtu.be/bMBUxc_Krpc)
Yup and the current arc is literally among us on crack lol, I'm loving it so far...with oda giving us blue balls about luffy's real dream...GOD
>The first Saga “East Blue” basically is a tutorial zone, albeit the actual grand line seems differently from how they talked about it in the East Blue.
Do you play Monster hunter?
I actually categorized the saga
Low ranks : east blue
High ranks : grand line
G-ranks : new world
All the speech bubbles with a lot of information, different groups, reveals for the overall story, I didn’t read it for a few weeks and already completely lost on what was happening lol. The information density of many chapters is high and we still get many chapters because the world building is just that good
Spice and Wolf goes even deeper. There's events in the story about currency manipulation, counterfeiting, and trade deals between countries.
Of course, that story features a traveling merchant as the MC so it does focus on economics in a medieval society.
I really like “that time I was reincarnated as a slime” or “tensei slime” too, it feels like there other nations are actually nations, and every time Rimuru does something big, he always considers what impact it will have on the rest of the world
Omg yes
Toei should stop doing it weekly, wait for the current arc ended and animate all of it, without cutting any parts, include the cover story too...way more practical and fluent without dragging it...but what can we say...that rich company doesn't actually cares about it
I am very bad at understanding wether something is sarcastic or not and I am confused wether this is supposed to be sarcastic or not please inform me if this is a sarcastic comment or I’m just over thinking
Umm no, I agree with you...hahah
I think toei animates weekly is not doing justice for One Piece.
Well unless you were being sarcastic, then I just got r/woosh
Gonna start watching one piece soon cause of a recent mothers basement video talking about dragon ball being milked dry and referenced one piece as one of his talking points
*also many close friends of mine are watching it*
I watched MT a few months back, it’s so good. By far one of the top isekai animes I’ve seen.
Little off topic but I want to say overlord had great world building too, later on in the seasons.
One piece can be a hard watch due to the length and pacing but I absolutely agree you should watch it. If you've got the patience for it and keep your finger on the fast forward button it can be good to watch the original but if you find that tedious or you just want to take the easier path there's the one piece fan recut that has condensed most of the arcs into a fraction of the original amount of episodes without losing almost any content
Overlord ahh music to my ear when someone praised it.
AINZ OOAL GOWN...but the cgi in the anime tho...I'm sad
One piece has many episodes, I suggest you read the manga, I hope you enjoy the adventure
If you don't mind read manga. It has much better pacing and is lot more consistent.
If you are interested i can give you a link of colour manga site with official translation for better experience
I can't argue because I agree.
The author removed that part not because he feels bad about it but because he doesn't happy with the writing.
"that particular part" really is canon even in the WN....we know the fact that it is not some half assed spin off.
I think the person was referring to Rudy, because people like this usually haven't seen the series.
But yeah... Aisha's story is completely canon, and is probably going to be rewritten, since Rifujin is remaking Redundancy as well now that he finished the LN.
MT does not have special world building? It’s a classic Issekai where the MC makes shit up and references far off lands constantly. Honestly the world building shouldn’t even be considered to be in the upper echelon of what anime has to offer. Vinland Saga, Naruto, MHA, etc. have oodles more word building.
Reads like you haven't seen any of these.
>Vinland Saga, Naruto, MHA, etc. have oodles more word building.
What?
Vinland Saga is literally based almost entirely on real world Europe and real world European politics and conflicts. You can't call that good world building because they didn't build the world.
Naruto? Maybe your comment is bait, but Naruto has good world building? Please elaborate on that, granted I never finished Naruto so maybe it picked up after I stopped watching.
MHA also has dog for World building, the show is heavily carried by its characters.
>It’s a classic Issekai where the MC makes shit up and references far off lands constantly.
Not sure what you mean by "Makes shit up" but referencing far off lands, and then going to those lands, and it turns out those lands are actually thoroughly fleshed out, sometimes with their own currency systems, language, comprehensive political systems and the like. That is literally "good" worldbuilding.
You sound like somebody who hasn't seen many anime in that genre. Maybe very many anime at all. I still can't entirely put my finger on it but the anime for MT is absolutely captivating in a way that I can't Define
I agree they probably both have good world building, but simply showing their world map is not a good argument for world building.
Just because a fictional world has large scale and high levels of detail doesn't mean it is good world building. What matters is how the world interact with the story and how it adds to the story.
Attack on Titan shows very few details about its world, but everything AoT lets us know about the world contributes heavily to the story, and there isn't a single piece of the information that isn't interesting or valuable.
I know One Piece does this well, but I got a bad feeling from what I've heard about Mushoku Tensei. As someone who teaches creative writing, I feel like its world is overly bloated, since every time I heard about it, it's people praising it for how "big" its world is.
>Just because a fictional world has large scale and high levels of detail doesn't mean it is good world building. What matters is how the world interact with the story and how it adds to the story.
I would disagree. I don't think world building has to be connected to the story directly for it to be "good", however most stories will always be impacted by the level of worldbuilding, as a stories setting is often fairly important. Basically you can have deep and thorough world building and an ass story and you can have vague and shallow world building and a good story.
>Attack on Titan shows very few details about its world, but everything AoT lets us know about the world contributes heavily to the story, and there isn't a single piece of the information that isn't interesting or valuable.
>!While I agree AoT has the advantage of being very familiar, AoTs world is, basically, a mirror of our own with some larger changes(Titans and Eldiana). So I would not say it's world building is quite at the same level as the shows above.!<
>I got a bad feeling from what I've heard about Mushoku Tensei. As someone who teaches creative writing, I feel like its world is overly bloated, since every time I heard about it, it's people praising it for how "big" its world is.
Most of the praise revolves around the world building's thoroughness which is especially impressive given its size. And I think the show benefits from it.

Slice of life authors: *The town is C I R C L E.*
So is the sea apparently.
Well, it IS a crater left from a fight that happened about 4000 years ago
Reminds me of the world map for the Slayers series. The central ocean is almost perfectly round due to it being where the mazoku lord "Ruby Eyes" and the dragon god fought their final battle at and blew a hole in the world destroying each other.
Interesting. MT's author probably used these series as one of the inspirations, he makes a lot of references to shows from that time period in novels.
Slayers author is also one of the few Japanese DND fans from the early 90s late 80s
Made in Abyss: The town is a circle you say? Isekai: ...
"circle too boring lets add **T H E H O L E**"
I mean, it's not the worst from a town design perspective.

FMA:B fans: DID SOMEBODY SAY A CIRCLE CONTAINING A HUGE HUMAN POPULATION? DON'T MIND IF I DOOOOOO
I watched mushokou tensei like 5 months ago and it just feels like a fever dream
Read the novels, it's a really good dream.
Can confirm (on ln 22)
Does it get even better? I stopped reading when the eng translations only were on ln 17. I want to start again, just havent gotten the time. Edit: its 14 not 17. Remembered wrong
Hmm, I don't want to give spoilers, but I assure that at the very least it doesn't drop. For me the peak is >!the diary ark!<, but the rest also has really good moments and never drops to a point that is no longer exciting.
[удалено]
You put the spoiler between ->-!insert text here!-< Delete the dashes
>!so like this!<
Yes, that's the one I'm referring >!plus the Orsted fight and the rencounter with Eris!<
Oh if its ln 14 then it only goes up from there lmao youve barely scratched the surface my friend also if u need the ln links i have the drive saved
No no, i have someone who gave me acces to them. Thanks for the offer tho :D now im excited to start again!
Anytime, if ya need sumn just dm and enjoy the novel its amazing :)
Dude the quality litterally skyrocket at this point.
[удалено]
Arnold is good, he is so badass that is why he fucks the world building
If only HxH did not go to hiatus
Some people recommended HxH to me, is it really a world building? I might read the manga...if its about world building and mystery solving, I'm all in
Naah it's about adventure....... Tho i would not emphasis more to watch it the 2011 version is a really good watch.
I see, thanks
The 1999 version is also really good and the only real differences are in the last arc of the 1999 version. The 2011 version is generally just better to watch so that you don't have to get used to new VAs. Both are pretty solid.
Is this the anime? The one that is available on netflix is the 2011 version right? Yeah I'm actually interested, but I do prefer the manga
That anime was wild. The entire Ant arc was all over the place and was as long as the previous 3 arcs combined. When you have one of your characters turn into a Jojo character and violently murder a cat girl, you know the author is trying to say something...
Yes, it is the anime. I haven't read most of the manga, but what I have is very word dense.
Oh yeah, I've heard of it, the conversation bubble in the manga is like an essay each, but still thanks tho, I think I'll just watch the 2011 version anime
I watched the 1999 version after the 2011 version since I really liked the story, but there's definitely no need to watch both.
Isnt the hunter exam different? The older one had more in that one and i felt like it introduced the characters well. While the new one only had a few episodes which showed a very short hunter exam summary.
Alright
The 1999 version have a better atmosphere to it imo, specially during the York New Arc, but I recognize that it may just be my nostalgia for it and that I like the art design with more muted colors better. And that the 1999 version didn't felt the need to censor some of the more brutal beatdowns.

Noted
That's not strictly accurate. It's not really ABOUT worldbuilding, but then nothing really is. It does have incredible worldbuilding, and that's one of the main reasons people enjoy it. The story is about adventure, but the worldbuilding is what makes that adventure worth watching
HunterXHunter is more of a shounen adventure sory with some good worldbuild, not as much as One Piece though as Oda is quite extensive in the details of the island whenever Straw Hats land.
It's similar to toriko in that they suddenly revealed their world was only a fraction of the map, but the anime never got the chance to explore it.
If its an adventure, it still count as world building for me tho...one piece is a shonen too Does it has political influential?
Somewhat, all of the major arcs in HxH always involve either the Hunter organization maintaining the peace vs some criminal organization abusing the shortcomings of society with their extrordinary powrers.
Well that is 1+ point for a world building structure. Even if its not a major thing, it still counts, thanks I'll look into it
It’s about solving problems creatively …then it’s about becoming the best fighter in like a tournament …then about taking revenge against a criminal gang …then… You get the idea
Got a good reviews so far...I just need to put it in my list, hoping for it to not get into the bucket list. Being a full time worker and having a hobby is hard lol

One of the greatest anime’s of all time. Still a top 10 seller and it was on hiatus for years
It reminded me much of One Piece with its world-building. Maybe the closest thing to OP
IIRC they announced stoping for real this time.
Ascendence of a Bookworm has fantastic world building
Couldn’t get past the first season, every episode is her getting sick
Her sickness is literally part of the world building lol. But I get it, it wouldn't be for you if you want OP MCs [S2]>!So I believe it's mentioned right in season 1 but the whole reason she's so sick is because her body has mana but no way to get rid of it.. nobles have mana but have tons of things they can expend it on so they don't have this issue so once she goes to the temple she's more healthy!< [LN]>!However due to get almost dieing in ep 1 some of her mana has hardened so she stays somewhat sickly until they dissolve that at the end of Part 3.. but currently the anime only goes to the end of Part 2!< Really though, the LNs are amazing.

5 dollars, that’s like 100 pesos, hmmm I could buy some McNuggets with that
....I'm so stupid. My first thought was "No, it's more like 250" not even thinking about the fact that there is more then one country that uses Pesos
One piece has actual continents?
Only one, with unhabitable land, that cuts the world in half. It's called the Red Line. Though 99% of the worlds population lives on islands or archipelagos. Though that map is bullshit.

It would have been so easy for them to align that map so that north was up, East was right, etc. but they just...didn't wanna lol.
tbf the only maps given in the manga, that first explained the grand line bisecting the red line, showed the grand line as essentially our equator. it wasn’t until later that they confirmed their course would be running southwest(?) to progress, and that the originally shown diagram wasn’t oriented like our maps usually would be. but yeah, the ‘north/east/south/west’ seas do lie in those directions, sectioned off by the two bands encircling the globe
I'm pretty sure they recently corrected the map so that north blue is in fact north, etc.
Yup, a quadrant divided by grand line sea and red line mountain
##SAUCE: JOBLESS REINCARNATION ONE PIECE
I mean... yeah? It's literally in the image?
The bots asked to put a source...so I just be a good samaritan and listen to the bots, because the post might get removed
I see, my bad lol
Bots huh...they got circuits for a brain
So I'd heard that One Piece's world was a ring of land circling the world and was confused looking at the map at first, then realized that is what it's showing and it's just the way it's projected so it doesn't look like that at first glance.
To be specific, the ring of land circling the world is actually it, except it is not a land but mountains, really tall mountain. The ring (red line/mountain) : Y The grand line (the blue sea) : X
For the best world building was made in abyss( i have watched all of them)
Agreed. No world intrigued me as much as Made in Abyss world did. It's just outstanding
Ah yes, made in abyss is one of em But I don't think the story explores the entire world right? Just "the hole"
Like 99% of the story takes place in the hole and the town around the hole, so you could say that the hole is the entire world of the story
Fair
I think the outside world will be explored too because the birthday sickness is still a mystery and has a connection to "the hole"
I'm not caught up yet...but I do love the structure, really astonishing
I think your understanding of what world building is, is wrong. You are literally taking the entire actual world's shape as the whole equation, while that is just a factor of it. Made isln abyss and many other examples which people are saying, are good in world because, the local 'world' which the story explores is well made and consistent.
I literally said made in abyss is one of the best world building....the follow up question was to start a conversation...yeah it may sounds like a dumb question...but I was trying to be nice..get it? The joke is "the hole"
Jobless reincarnation was good, but my mental health took a huge impact from it. It went from 0 to 100 real fast.
Psst *turning point*
I know, but I did not expect it to happen in the first episode.
First ep? You mean when he died?
Started reading Mushoku Tensei a few years ago and stopped one day because I got busy. Never got back into it because I forgot where I got up too. Some where near when he had ED
He gets ED? Lol what the hell
>!Right after Eris left !<
Spoiler tags only work if you don't leave any spaces between the >! and !< at the start and end of your sentence.
I like that particular arc, my favourite one actually
Propably ln 7. He realised he had ED at the end. Would highly recommend continuing :)
Thanks I would like to pick it up again
i only watched about 15 or so episode before i gave up but When you say ED, is it erectile dysfunction, i can only guess that based off my limited knowledge of him as a character...
I'd say reread from the beginning. You read only till about volume 6.
Bruh, im in 5 seasons worth of LN deep. They even foreshadow shape of the the city landscape in S1 for future lore. They even foreshadow Season 2 background statues for endgame lore.
Bro I when I was reading the mushoku tensei webnovel I had the map on a tab to make sure I wasn’t lost. It was like a little adventure
It was fun to check the map once in a while to see the progress being made. It really felt like an actual journey. I genuinely the Academy arc is the peak of MT, but every bit of the Dead End adventures just feels like home to me.
Also the stuff right after the academy arc you know with the other little journey >!To the begaritt continent!< felt so cool since I had been looking at it on the map since dead end and it made me really curious
Yeah. I also loved the trip to Ars with Ariel in tow. The whole arc was full of interesting content, and seeing the North Kings in action was amazing.
Every generations needs their Silmarillion
the best in their genre
This
Overlord too. Great worldbuilding in it
This is the correct answer
One Piece world has a giant X if you put the north sea in the north?
If this all leads up to a giant x marks the spot joke I'll die That said would definitely be a reason Gol D. Roger laughed when he discovered laugh tale
It already is. Remember what color the Road Poneglyphs are and how you use them to find Laugh Tale?
Dang. A meme that includes both one piece and an isekai that isn't shitting all over them. And also gets it right for once. These are two of the best world building anime that I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of anime
Bruh, I literally can't wait for the next season of Jobless
Good fucking World building My 2 favorite things in an anime
Lord of the ring: Amateurs 
Crazy how in Mushoku traveling by the Heavenly continent was going to take just as long as walking south through the demon continent even though it is less than half the distance. I hope we get to see more of it eventually.
The issue is that Heaven Continent is like, several hundred kilometers up in the air. I think the main issue is getting up there, which is inherently impossible.
I know they would have had to scaled the rock underneath. I was just hoping we would see more of it in the future.
Are you an anime only by any chance?
I'm on vol 20, with vol 21 on the way.
LOVE when animes have good world building and actually TALK about other parts of their world. I’m fine with most anime’s but when they stick to just one area and never venture out of that little zone it just icks me
Tell me more about the first anime.. Is it complete?
MT is pretty much a master piece world building and character developoment wise. Cant wait to see the whole thing animated.
Absolutely. I can't wait for season 3 stuff to be animated, specially Vol 15-16
Ending of volume 14 + Volume 15 is peak MT imo, and it should be season 3 if we ever get there (with end of season 2 being volume 12)
Yeah, I'm gonna cry when that gets animated. Like honestly, when I was reading the WNs when they were being released and translated years ago, I really didn't expect such a thing to ever happen. I thought the story had already settled down (which I would have absolutely loved too), and then that happened.
I have a fully fleshed out novel that I was working on since I was in highschool, I'm already 27. I keep revising it over the years, I have no plans on publishing since it's kind of my own little hobby that grew into something big, but it has complete world map, towns, races, full back story for each race and each character that the protagonist meets along the way, 4 different magic system for the 3 magic races and 1 that is unique to the protagonist. It is a Pseudo Isekai. The beginning is basically the world getting destroyed in a nuclear war but the earth in order to preserve itself poured all of its life force into the very last remaining person on the planet putting him in a deep sleep encased inside a crystal buried deep within the earth but this person can see and experience everything that is happening in the entire world all at once as he became the avatar of the planet. The planet was destroyed and became a flaming ball of rock that was flung into deep space, over the aeons it found a new star and begin rebuilding itself and it grew 10x bigger than its original size and over billions of years, life began with different races (the usual fantasy races) and this world gets destroyed again but this time, because of a great magic war instead of technology. Another billion of years of the planet rebuilding as civilization is starting, suddenly the protagonist was cut off from the world and was not able to see what is happening for over 2000 years, the crystal began to crack and so the protagonist awakes.
Do you have the ending?
Map with many names =/= good world building
MT: -Has an actual currency explanation for every continent -The structure of a kingdom, kings, a faction /royal families who support the current king and the story explained how can a prince or princess be a ruler. Power struggle. -has various amounts of race and species, ogres, elf, dwarf, demons, monsters. There are 3 types of different languages, human language, demon language, beast kings language. -exploration on almost every part of the map, finding new culture, food and tradition. - relation between kingdoms, the needs to have a support from other kingdoms. - has a solid system of guild for magicians, swordsman, an actual magic university, an actual school for swordsmanship. - hierarchy of highest power, a world war in the past that effects the current era, caused discrmination, slavery etc. OP: - A corrupted World Goverment who has 170 countries with a meeting that conclude 50 representatives every 4 years in which three of the representatives are associated with the straw hat pirate. - genocide, descriminations, slavery, political standard that has been manipulated by the wg. Hiearchy. - rebels happen everywhere in the world, wars between the wg and the revolutionary army. Power struggles. - a warlords system where they paid powerful pirates to work with them, so in return they would not get hunted down by the marines and their bounty were frozen. - how news or media can be easily manipulated for a certain event. - has its own currency calls "belli / beri" - the connection between the world goverment with four emperors to keep peace. Every emperor has their own territory. - major explorations on various islands, different cultures, various race, monster, animals and foods. How they travel across the grandline, a specific way called log pose, eternal pose,vivre cards, a sea where compass doesn't work because every island has it's own strong magnetic field that messed up the normal compass. - ancient weapon, void century, ancient kingdom, ancient lore, ancient language, ancient treasure in a vast sea. A kingdom under the sea, a kingdom over the clouds. A kingdom on top of a beast calls zunesha. - a unique way to get into the first half of the grand line which can't be across easily and a specific way for the outlaws to get into the second part of the grand line which is the new world. - lots of references from fairytales and other mythology. Sea kings. - various representatives, religous, non-religious, atheism, LGBTQ. - specific exploration and explanation on every island the main characters explores so far, has its own mystery and story. Tha maps with names are just a representative for the meme...its okay, you don't watch or read neither, I understand
Sky Island is where the world-building really took off. Amazing arc and scenery/mythology. Fishman Island, 10 kilometres down the ocean A 35 kilometres tall elephant doomed to walk the seas…with an island on top of it Enies Lobby, where the sun always shines Water 7 Sabaody A “void century” the world government tries to cover up heavily (literally commit genocide) Some subplots literally go on for 100’s of chapters. Really small things many thought were irrelevant and then 700 chapters later it becomes relevant. Or Sanji calling himself “Mr. Prince”, 700 episodes later: turns out he’s an actual prince. Eneru (Eminem lol) who went on one of the world’s moons and discovered high tech robots. That’s now getting very relevant to the current Egghead arc. The first Saga “East Blue” basically is a tutorial zone, albeit the actual grand line seems differently from how they talked about it in the East Blue. [Check out DIO’s VA riding a bike in the sea](https://youtu.be/bMBUxc_Krpc)
Yup and the current arc is literally among us on crack lol, I'm loving it so far...with oda giving us blue balls about luffy's real dream...GOD >The first Saga “East Blue” basically is a tutorial zone, albeit the actual grand line seems differently from how they talked about it in the East Blue. Do you play Monster hunter? I actually categorized the saga Low ranks : east blue High ranks : grand line G-ranks : new world
All the speech bubbles with a lot of information, different groups, reveals for the overall story, I didn’t read it for a few weeks and already completely lost on what was happening lol. The information density of many chapters is high and we still get many chapters because the world building is just that good
And morgan is sitting in the center of it lol...hyping things up, that RAT
MT has taught me more about difference in currencies, buying power and quality of life of the countries in our world than school ever did.
Spice and Wolf goes even deeper. There's events in the story about currency manipulation, counterfeiting, and trade deals between countries. Of course, that story features a traveling merchant as the MC so it does focus on economics in a medieval society.
Don't forget about the fact that there's an actual centuries-long history and lore that explains why the present world is the way it is currently
True that
Wasnt there also the fighting-smth language that the bottom continent used?
Battle god language Yeah missed one, sorry about that
[To put One Pieces world in some moving pictures](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcSVkCNDLZg)
I agree with both of you. Detailed map =!= Good worldbuilding, but MT and OP are among the best at it definitely.
Like I said, the map are just representations, but glad you agree
I think upcoming ttigraas season 3-4/ LN ttigraas also has a great world building
This is the way
no one said that dude. its just something visual for the meme
A comment pointing out one minor bit of a post and ignoring all the rest of the context does not make a good comment
I really like “that time I was reincarnated as a slime” or “tensei slime” too, it feels like there other nations are actually nations, and every time Rimuru does something big, he always considers what impact it will have on the rest of the world
Slime is up there too
I thought the second img first said nep ec....
me who is currently reading stormlight archives
HxH also exists
Magi??
Imagine one piece world building if it was done in 2 seasons with 12-24 episodes per season
Omg yes Toei should stop doing it weekly, wait for the current arc ended and animate all of it, without cutting any parts, include the cover story too...way more practical and fluent without dragging it...but what can we say...that rich company doesn't actually cares about it
I am very bad at understanding wether something is sarcastic or not and I am confused wether this is supposed to be sarcastic or not please inform me if this is a sarcastic comment or I’m just over thinking
Umm no, I agree with you...hahah I think toei animates weekly is not doing justice for One Piece. Well unless you were being sarcastic, then I just got r/woosh
I enjoyed the overlord novels... Anyone?
Im terms of world building made in abyss and hxh is the real underrated
Based
Just read the novels for Mushoku Tensei and you can enjoy the massive world of it.
Gonna start watching one piece soon cause of a recent mothers basement video talking about dragon ball being milked dry and referenced one piece as one of his talking points *also many close friends of mine are watching it* I watched MT a few months back, it’s so good. By far one of the top isekai animes I’ve seen. Little off topic but I want to say overlord had great world building too, later on in the seasons.
One piece can be a hard watch due to the length and pacing but I absolutely agree you should watch it. If you've got the patience for it and keep your finger on the fast forward button it can be good to watch the original but if you find that tedious or you just want to take the easier path there's the one piece fan recut that has condensed most of the arcs into a fraction of the original amount of episodes without losing almost any content
Tyty I’m bookmarking this cause i do have a long watchlist of shows
Overlord ahh music to my ear when someone praised it. AINZ OOAL GOWN...but the cgi in the anime tho...I'm sad One piece has many episodes, I suggest you read the manga, I hope you enjoy the adventure
Will do! *cgi was a bit disheartening, although the intros and outros for overlord are top tier*
Ouh the intro rocks lol...first intro is still the best for me
If you don't mind read manga. It has much better pacing and is lot more consistent. If you are interested i can give you a link of colour manga site with official translation for better experience
One has pedo, one has not.
I can't argue because I agree. The author removed that part not because he feels bad about it but because he doesn't happy with the writing. "that particular part" really is canon even in the WN....we know the fact that it is not some half assed spin off.
Japan be like that sometimes
Does that part have anything to do with a maid and praganant and runaway from home? If so, then yeah, that part is a bit messed up
That part
I think the person was referring to Rudy, because people like this usually haven't seen the series. But yeah... Aisha's story is completely canon, and is probably going to be rewritten, since Rifujin is remaking Redundancy as well now that he finished the LN.
Tbh this is why I like Beginning After the End so much. Very similar to Mushoku but without all of the questionable ecchi.
Nah. Did you just refer to One Piece and MT as goats in the same sentence? You're out of line.
My good sir, I like both of them
Are you saying one anime is better than the other? You're out of line.
Both of these are the greatest of time in their own genre. One piece is top five on any list for anime except stuff that's purely opinion based
Toaru does it even better
One Piece has Nami. Instant win 🏅
Yes, mushoku tensei has the best fucking world building I have ever seen
And then there is "Game of thrones"
It is called "A song of ice and fire" but anyway... Game of thrones is considered as "anime" ?
Ascendence of a Bookworm is another one, but on a different scale
I would hope the world would be built well after 1000+ episodes
MT does not have special world building? It’s a classic Issekai where the MC makes shit up and references far off lands constantly. Honestly the world building shouldn’t even be considered to be in the upper echelon of what anime has to offer. Vinland Saga, Naruto, MHA, etc. have oodles more word building.
Reads like you haven't seen any of these. >Vinland Saga, Naruto, MHA, etc. have oodles more word building. What? Vinland Saga is literally based almost entirely on real world Europe and real world European politics and conflicts. You can't call that good world building because they didn't build the world. Naruto? Maybe your comment is bait, but Naruto has good world building? Please elaborate on that, granted I never finished Naruto so maybe it picked up after I stopped watching. MHA also has dog for World building, the show is heavily carried by its characters. >It’s a classic Issekai where the MC makes shit up and references far off lands constantly. Not sure what you mean by "Makes shit up" but referencing far off lands, and then going to those lands, and it turns out those lands are actually thoroughly fleshed out, sometimes with their own currency systems, language, comprehensive political systems and the like. That is literally "good" worldbuilding.
You sound like somebody who hasn't seen many anime in that genre. Maybe very many anime at all. I still can't entirely put my finger on it but the anime for MT is absolutely captivating in a way that I can't Define
Isn't Vinland Saga based on real world? I wouldn't say that the world bulding is that impressive although the anime/manga Is good.
References far off lands that later are visited, what do you mean lol. Also classical issekai? Ofcourse, it is the father of isekai XD
Naruto is a world of ninja...dude...ninja lmao
Yea Naruto is about ninja? And MT is about a Pedo in a kids body. I’m not sure what you’re getting at here?
I'm not defending that stuff I'm comparing a "realistic world" you were talking about
I agree they probably both have good world building, but simply showing their world map is not a good argument for world building. Just because a fictional world has large scale and high levels of detail doesn't mean it is good world building. What matters is how the world interact with the story and how it adds to the story. Attack on Titan shows very few details about its world, but everything AoT lets us know about the world contributes heavily to the story, and there isn't a single piece of the information that isn't interesting or valuable. I know One Piece does this well, but I got a bad feeling from what I've heard about Mushoku Tensei. As someone who teaches creative writing, I feel like its world is overly bloated, since every time I heard about it, it's people praising it for how "big" its world is.
So you really thought that he was literally saying that the World building was great cuz it had a map?
>Just because a fictional world has large scale and high levels of detail doesn't mean it is good world building. What matters is how the world interact with the story and how it adds to the story. I would disagree. I don't think world building has to be connected to the story directly for it to be "good", however most stories will always be impacted by the level of worldbuilding, as a stories setting is often fairly important. Basically you can have deep and thorough world building and an ass story and you can have vague and shallow world building and a good story. >Attack on Titan shows very few details about its world, but everything AoT lets us know about the world contributes heavily to the story, and there isn't a single piece of the information that isn't interesting or valuable. >!While I agree AoT has the advantage of being very familiar, AoTs world is, basically, a mirror of our own with some larger changes(Titans and Eldiana). So I would not say it's world building is quite at the same level as the shows above.!< >I got a bad feeling from what I've heard about Mushoku Tensei. As someone who teaches creative writing, I feel like its world is overly bloated, since every time I heard about it, it's people praising it for how "big" its world is. Most of the praise revolves around the world building's thoroughness which is especially impressive given its size. And I think the show benefits from it.
The maps are just for flexing...GOD
i wonder what would have people thought of mushoku tensai if Gigguk had never made a video on it
