| I did some research before creating the thread and lo and behold there aren't too many pirates anime or even manga. I feel like Oda has completely destroyed people with One Piece. He has not been 100% successful on that front, but for what he does with regards to pirates he does it well and people seem to have gotten a little scarier. They know they can make it work but it's not they'll beat One Piece nor it'll be better than One Piece unless it's goes full Pirates of the Caribbean or something of that sort but that will certainly be hard to accomplish without ripping-off something popular. I don't know, man, I really would want more of this. Don't you too? It will certainly be a fairly fresh air around here if we gotten some. Discuss! |

| It seems like we have more anime about space pirates than actual pirates |
| MEA·MENTVLA·INGENS·EST |
| I want an ecchi pirate anime where all the pirates are hot girls. I also recommend the guy who made Valkyrie Drive and Kandagawa Jet Girls as the series director. |
| I realize modern pirates like the Somali pirates around the Horn of Africa and Red Sea that are more often considered terrorists, paramilitary or militia fighters, or mercenaries in current parlance probably are not the ones you had in mind compared to the classic bearded, eye-patch wearing, parrot on shoulder, wooden leg, and/or pointy hat aesthetic in the sense of ones out on the Caribbean sea in the 17th century, real Blackbeard/Edward Teach-types, but this is partially what I found disappointing about the ultimate direction of Black Lagoon. I wanted to see more adventures of modern piracy on the high seas throughout and instead they degenerated into mostly operating as city gangs. I'd like to see more anime unafraid to spend most of their duration on the ocean in general - whether pirate or naval themed or something else. |

-EnvyV2- said: Still hoping to see a two-chapter naval fight in there. We still haven't gotten one.Heh that is true as f man good point, i don't think there will be another pirate theme better than One Piece, would love to see some more of that kind of anime, and yes Oda made them realize they don't stand a chance so most of em said nah fuck it. ODA WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FOR? URGH!!!!!! |

I haven't seen Vinland Saga yet and obviously that is with seafarers of a different sort, the Vikings, but from everything I've heard about it something like that combined with something like Berserk in sword action and a realistic and gritty, bloody feel is maybe what you're looking for. They could make a pirate epic to challenge all the epics out there, but I guess it needs the pre-existing manga as source material out there first to base it on, unless some visionary comes up with an anime original. |
| which is sad because one piece is shit btw there's a good anime adaptation of treasure island called takarajima but it's super old |
 |
| Caribbean style pirates: meh. Fantasy-world pirates: yes please. Old school JRPGs is what got me interested in anime to begin with so I'm always down for stuff that hearkens back to those days. |
 |
| One Piece is the sole reason nobody wants to do more pirates-themed stories. Every single attempt would be immediately subjected to the "let's see if it's as good as One Piece" test, and since One Piece in Japan is almost a local patron saint, chances of it to succeed are almost minimal. So the risks of failing, are large. A shame, because the length of One Piece is at this point such that it has become almost an unwatchable show for newcomers. |
Maneki-Mew said: Black Lagoon actually describes a lot more what pirates are today than anything. It's possibly the case, but to me when most of it's on land it becomes not so much a pirate anime or pirate story as much as a general crime drama with organized crime - Italian mafia, Russian mob, Latin American cartels, Triads, Yakuza, etc. It's not that this is necessarily bad by any means, but it's more typical and you can see it in a lot of other places. I want an anime that spends a good 80%+ of its time at least on the ocean. |
| As a One Piece fan,I agree we need more realistic portrayal of pirates in anime. Pirates has been glorified in One Piece and western movies like Pirates of the Caribbean but in reality,pirates are robbers in sea. |

| We could have another if the Okeanos arc in FGO gets animated. |

| Honestly surprised no one made a Cute Girls Doing Cute Things show with a pirate theme yet. Or that none of the NEETs getting isekai'd were ever pirates. Jokes aside, sure we could use more of the pirate animes.  |
 |
| Caribbean style pirates, something like Black Sails, would be nice. I never really thought about it, but after watching vinland saga, i think it could be interesting if done in a similar vibe. |
| Yeah I'm down for some pirates. Maybe some gay pirates perchance? Spending long, lonely nights out on the sea with nothing but your crew mates... Damn that'd be good. |
 |
| I've seen a bunch of pirated animeπππ. No but seriously it is really weird how many anime their are about space pirates but the only traditional pirate anime I can think of is One Piece. |

| I wouldn't mind if a more Caribbean pirate anime came about. I just would like at least one not to try and shove comedy down people's throats. |
"Perfection is perception. For me, humanity's imperfections is what makes it perfect"  |
| I'm with you guys there. I'd like it if anime did more with a pirate theme, and of course, that it isn't One Piece. Something based within The Golden Age of Piracy... although, to be honest? I'd take a literal anime adaption of Treasure Island or Black Sails (which I need to finish). I also feel that it could easily handle the tone/style of a show similar to Pirates of the Caribbean, with all that zany wackiness. You know that scene in 5, where they literally steal a vault? I think an anime could do it better... well, at least better than a literally drunk Depp. So it could be serious or crazy, but either way, I'd like some. |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
| Does Black Lagoon count as a pirate anime? It's actually the only anime I can think of if we don't talk about space pirates. |
Stardew said: I already have about 900 hundred episodes on pirates from One Piece so pirate theme anime are not really something I am waiting for but it's cool if there is more Same,I'm fine with One piece so it's not something I want more of. |

| YES PLEASE. I want pirate adventure anime with bishies in it :3 |
 OTP: KidLaw | IzuKatsu | GureShin | EruRi | AoKi | See more!» My art » My translation » Doujinshi collection » Favorite Kurobas doujinshi  BISHIES X RAP |
Or, Hear me out, what about bara bois. |
|
I love bara bois but make sure there is some pretty boys too in the mix :3 |
| OTP: KidLaw | IzuKatsu | GureShin | EruRi | AoKi | See more! » My art » My translation » Doujinshi collection » Favorite Kurobas doujinshi BISHIES X RAP |
I am willing to accept that compromise |
|
| I'd binge the fuck out of something like Pirates of the Carribean in anime, a cocky funny MC, a loveable side crew, Gintama on a pirate ship basically. |
 |
| Wait, the strawhats are pirates? I thought they were merceneries engaging in war against the world government, their goal being to save all the islands and eat all the food. Vinland Saga was great, and yes, I would love pirate anime |

| Well, i'm a big One Piece fan and I don't think there will ever be a pirate anime or manga that surpasses One Piece, but why not? I'm not particuarly interested, but i'm not opposed to it. So I would say, yes. |
What's up with people in space, punching each other in the face? |
