One Piece is really the only and once piece. I always loved
to watch this when I was a kid. My brother and I never missed it any day. It
used to be telecasted every day except Sunday and Saturday on Cartoon Network. .
It has over 600 anime episodes and various branches of merchandise and video
games.
One Piece’s main
character, Monkey D. Luffy is a teenage boy out to find the legendary treasure
known as One Piece and become the King of Pirates. Luffy is literally made of
rubber, and is able to perform feats of physical skill which would otherwise be
impossible. With his intrepid and eccentric crew, he goes off seeking the Grand
Line, where this treasure is supposedly hidden.
It's refreshing
to watch a pirate show without so much as an "Arr" in the script. While One Piece is definitely a show about
pirates (and the children who want to grow up to become buccaneers), it's also
a very original and highly charming romp that owes more to Popeye the Sailor
Man than the current trends of cutthroats in brogue.
The animation is
very glossy and this show just looks great. Granted, it's a kid's show, so the
backgrounds and designs are a bit more simplistic than the norm, but
considering the audience, this movie is definitely not going to disappoint any
of its intended viewers based on its visuals. The music seemed fine to me,
though I've always liked the music of the One Piece.
It’s not entirely
original in concept and theme, but very entertaining in execution. While the
"surprises" are really only going to surprise younger children, it's
still fun watching these characters go through the motions - like any better
hero's journey, this one isn't really about the destination, but how the
characters get there. Luffy's pirate crew is extremely lovable.
If you haven’t
watched this, you definitely should. It’s an anime that shouldn’t be missed! It's
goofy, it's silly, it's adventurous, and it's fun.
