Any One Piece Fans Here?

The original Japanese, and Funimation yes.
My 6 year old watches it and loves it to...

I even showed her a 4kids episode. 5 minutes in she said "Daddy this is dumb I wanna see the real One Piece."

Pirates with X-Men powers...can't go wrong.

I don't know why, but of all the long form anime I've seen, this is the only one I like. I think it might have to do with the complete random changes of scene.

Alabasta was a MASSIVE plot arc.. but when it was over, the party weren't like... invincible gods (cough, dbz, cough) and so when further things happened after that, it was still fun to watch.

It just seems like the stories are much more interesting than ones for other shows. They don't pretend their characters are deep either. (Haha, Bleach).

I agree (though not on the only anime), what I love about One Piece is that while they get stronger their is always places to improve.

I stopped reading Naruto (though sort of need to catch up) and gave up on Bleach. I agree with you, in Naruto/Bleach after each arcs (more so for bleach) that the characters are these awesome god-like beings and then suddenly another powerful villian comes. It just feels cheap sort of.

In One Piece, you know even before that their is a lot of strong people. I sort of explained it kind of wierd but I think got it off...

I enjoy later on where the heroes getting totally owned, way outa their league. The good guy doesn't always win... Luffy doesn't always save the day.

Spoiler

Look at Ace. He was one of the most likable characters they had and he got killed and died in Luffy's arms, and just as he was getting away to...

Great universe, great characters, great motives, great length. (They've almost worked with it for around 11-12 years now. SHEIZE!)

However, the episodes reveals only minor parts at a time. It's the side-effect of having to put a perspective highlight on ALL the characters in said scene and their re/actions instead of just going with the protagonists point of view and the immediate nontrivial events.

Otherwise, it's the one anime I put my thoughts to more than any other anime. And that's worth something.
