"This is the best day": Fans react as Ludwig praises One Piece

YouTube streamer Ludwig Ahgren sent a lot of fans into a frenzy after claiming that One Piece is the "greatest anime of all time."

The ongoing saga of 1000+ episodes chronicling the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, leader of the Straw Hat Pirates, has been a staple among anime fans for a long time. So when the streamer decided to announce to his 1.4 million Twitter followers that he had finally caught up to the latest episode of One Piece and praised the series, fans could not help but get excited.

Even fellow streamers and content creators reacted to the tweet. Eric Pointcrow was ecstatic and said:

What did Ludwig say in his tweet?

Beloved by millions around the world, One Piece has become a phenomenon. After the Japanese manga was created by Eiichiro Oda, an anime production by Toei Animation was telecasted in the country. This was in 1999, and there have been 15 feature films, seven OVAs, and 13 TV specials so far. Numerous trading card and video games related to the series have come about since.

Ludwig is a well-known anime enthusiast in his community, so it was no surprise that he had been watching the series for a long time. The latest episodes in the filler arc Uta's Past concluded on August 28. And fans have been looking forward to the continuation of the Wano Country arc.

Ludwig had high praise for One Piece as the streamer told his followers that he had finally finished watching its latest episode. Not only did he like the series, he had this to say about it:

The Twitch streamer turned YouTuber has been familiar with One Piece for a pretty long time. Here is a longish clip from last year where he recounted some parts of the anime during his famous subathon:

A few fans thought other anime, such as Naruto or Attack on Titan, were better:

Taste is subjective, and thousands of die-hard fans of different anime labeling the series they watch as "the best" is like stirring up a hornet's nest. However, all anime fans will have to agree that One Piece is certainly an OG series with enormous influence in the industry.
