Sounds like you didn't live through the time 4kids/funi was airing it on TV and the manga was super fucking big on comic shop shelves during the 2000s. I mean the latter is still true and I've seen it on tv once or twice in recent years but it's always like late night now instead of like after school or early morning airings which is like death for that kinda media when dealing with normies. Just cause something isn't as BIG here as it was well over a decade ago doesn't mean it's "obscure until recently". Netflix one piece specifically had eyes on it BECAUSE of the international success of one piece.In the west at least, One Piece really has been relatively obscure until recently. The Netflix adaption really brought it up to normie levels.
