Quick Review:

I haven't saw this for ages but what I remember of it, I thought The story was quite diffrent and nice, I really enjoyed this OVA, I heard there was a manga, and this only covers the first 2 chapters, I haven't read the manga, but after watching this, I want to read it.

Give it a try, if you want the infomation at the top of the page sounds good to you, check it out!

First off, this anime is quite old, and I supose people will kinda only really like this, if they are hardcore anime fans and can apprecaite its old, or people who saw it when it first came out.

The story is about 4 brothers who each have a hidden power to turn into a dragon, each dragon has 1 element, such as fire, or wind. The brothers at the start of the anime don't know they have this power. The story is basically about an organzation that knows of the brothers powers and trys to capture them, thus leading to the brothers knowledge that there are ... dragon kings.
It sounds quite basic, but there is a nice plot twist in there.

The characters aren't that special to be honest, although I'd say most people will be able to pick a favorite out of the brother character, and there isn't really much devolpement between the brothers but there is regarding their dragon powers.

The art isn't going to blow you away, since it's an old show, but for it's time it wasn't bad at all. The sound from what I can remember does it's job, but compared to new anime it wont be spot on.

However with all that being said, there is a certain enjoyment in this anime, and I'm not sure what it is, I think the creator must have had great passion for his work, and you will find it a joy to watch, I know i did. however I wouldn't recomend a rewatch if you saw it when it first came out, and this is the anime that hooked you into anime, as it hasn't aged that well.

Overall, Give it a watch if you're a huge anime fan and must see everything, It won't blow you away, but I don't think you find it that bad, and you'll find some enjoyment in here.

*Spoiler Free Review*
One Piece is an Anime about Pirates, Mainly one crew of Pirates called "Straw Hats". It is a action adventure anime, where the characters have special powers and are super strong.

The Main storyline isn't that amazing, It's typical boy has a dream, boy goes out to obtain said dream, but what is amazing is the side storys that mixes into the main story, and there are tons, most of these are character background or goals, but it all fits in very nice, due to how big the One Piece world is, and how well the characters are devolped. The main reason I gave ... Story a 7 is due to the real main story, it's been done tons of times.

The artwork and animation in this Anime gets alot of negitave response, but on the whole i'd say its average, its not rubbish by any standard, and sometimes has some very nice effects, But it's not the best out there. Don't be put off by the people who list the animation as why one piece sucks, because its the most stupidest thing ever, people still play old video games and watch old anime, do people complain about the graphics/ animation in them? No.

The Sound is this Anime is epic, The Voice actors are very good at their jobs eppeically Zoro and Luffy. The Music is full of epic win! Most of all, all of the sound effects sound like the real thing, which is always a good thing, you know somethings up when a sword sounds like a wet fish hiting a rock.

The Characters are very well devolped, even the majority of the lesser know characters have somewhat of a devolped background and continue to devolpe in the anime, something most animes don't have. I like that One piece does this, as it adds to the well written universe the creators have made, and it also allows the One Piece world to expand.

To finish things off, the amount of enjoyment i get out of this anime has only ever been rivaled by Death Note, comparing it to other animes of the same genre however, nothing has came close to topping how well everything in One piece goes, and sometimes I hope that the show will never end, because I find it that much of an enjoyment to watch.

So go check it out, if it sounds intresting to you, if not, well i guess my review skills suck, and you should go read a diffrent one piece review :P
