One Piece (Manga)
I recently watched 15 years worth of episode of this Anime. I always thought that this is just an overrated one but to my surprise, it is actually really good. The characters are all lovable, the plot twists are exciting and there are some episodes I really found myself literally laughing out loud! There is a colored version of this manga you might wanna check! It is very similar to the drawings in the anime version.
Any One Piece Fans Here??

I also skipped some filler episodes! What is your favorite story arc? Mine is the one in Dress Rosa! Loved how Luffy's crew grew overtime!Storygamer88 wrote:Big One Piece fan since childhood and reread and re watched a few times too, skipping some fillers. It's not perfect, but it's still very good and enjoyable on many fronts, and it's got a lot of clever foreshadowing and unique arcs.

Second to that, I liked Impel Down. Such a unique spin on prisons and teaming up with old enemies.

I have to agree with you, dressrosa is dragging. Some scenes were made too long, fight scenes were kind of repetitive and there were a lot of characters introduced. However, I really enjoyed the part where Luffy joined the fight in Coliseum and fought as Lucy. Also, the whole idea of dressrosa is appealing to me. A city where toys live with human. (well anyway, I shouldn't have been so shocked, they have mermans and people living in sky island too. Haha ) Moreover, I liked Law and Corazon's story here.Storygamer88 wrote:Interesting. I dislike Dressrosa because it felt dragged out. My fave was Water 7 because it was the most the crew felt broken apart (Usopp leaving and Robin missing), and I felt the threat of CP9 was more exciting than Enel and probably at least as good as Crocodile at that point.

I also enjoyed the arcs you've mentioned. Impel down was exciting up to the Marineford Arc (which is my second favorite). This war was nothing like the usual one piece episode. I cried when Ace died. I didn't expect that they would actually kill him.

I can see what you mean about the parts you liked in Dressrosa. I guess I do appreciate some aspects, but do wish it were done better. I hope there's another tournament esque arc in the future, and Zoro/Sanji participate instead of just Lucy/Luffy. I also kinda would've liked to see Luffy fight in the finale just to see how it'd turn out.

Anyway, I hope the ongoing arc wouldn't be too dragging as this. I don't know if it's just me but I think the drawings in recent anime episodes aren't as good as before. Nonetheless, would still watch and support OP until they reach the last island <3

I hope One Piece gets a DBZ Kai esque redo of the anime with filler removed one day. Would love to watch it in HD with filler removed and higher quality animation

I think one piece is an amazing, however, the recent illustrations or quite sloppy. The character whose development I am really looking forward to is that of Zoro ( the unofficial vice captains of the straw hats), I think Luffy treats him a bit differently ( have a bit more respect for him) than any one elseCzarmaine AM wrote:That's interesting. Would love to see Sanji and Zoro fighting in the Coliseum too!

I also think the same way. I thought that I was the only who noticed. The illustrations are indeed better in the past installments.Sin24 wrote:I think one piece is an amazing, however, the recent illustrations or quite sloppy.

Haha! Yes. Zoro has always been the serious type. I think his story was given more attention in the early seasons.

Aaww that's too sweet, Kalin Adi! I would want to watch one piece with the love of my life too! Who is your favorite character??Kalin Adi wrote:I love One Piece. I've been reading the manga and watching the anime for years. Actually, when I didn't find a job three years ago, I started watching the anime from the beginning for the third time. I had a blast! The second time I started watching the anime again was when I got married and I introduced it to my husband. Needless to say, he's a fan too. We watch the new episodes together. Hehehe.

Yes. Zoro's indeed a great character. I couldn't imagine the show without him.

I've had friends say the same thing. My husband thought so too. I must have recommended it to him over a dozen times over the years until he finally caved. Now it's his fav, go figure.Czarmaine AM wrote: I always thought that this is just an overrated one but to my surprise, it is actually really good.
They are! I love them all and root for their progress through the years. When I re-watch from the beginning it seems like so long ago, they have come so far. I also like trying to find out where Oda found inspiration in some of them! Some are easy, like I see Terminator references with Franky and Jimi Hendrix with Brook. And how some places are a mishmash of multiple cultures, like Dressrosa seemed like a mix of Spain and Rome. Water 7 reminded me of Venice with their canals.Czarmaine AM wrote: The characters are all lovable, the plot twists are exciting and there are some episodes I really found myself literally laughing out loud!
I know?! I couldn't believe it and I was so heartbroken for Luffy. How was he going to go on?!Czarmaine AM wrote:I cried when Ace died. I didn't expect that they would actually kill him.
I hope so too, when I re-watch it from the beginning I'm always shocked by how different it is! I forget that the anime started before widescreen TV were popularStorygamer88 wrote:I hope One Piece gets a DBZ Kai esque redo of the anime with filler removed one day.

When there is a better quality release, I am going save up and buy the box set. It's one of those series that you want to keep and share.
