Right now, at 2:40 in the morning for me, I have decided to write a review for quite possibly my favorite anime of all time. However, I have decided to write it for people who might be off put by the length of One Piece. One Piece, first and foremost, is an anime/manga that follows the story of 1 of many pirates, Luffy, whose dream is to become the Pirate King. Pretty standard shounen stuff right? At first glance, you might be inclined to just skip past this, not only due to it's length, but to it's seemingly generic plot. Generic Shounen Guy wants something,
...
and he's probably going to get it because he's Generic Shounen Guy. That however, isn't the point behind One Piece at all.This anime/manga mainly details the JOURNEY to becoming the Pirate King. One Piece isn't about Luffy's dream to becoming Pirate King, it is about the journey he takes to get there.
Story:
One Piece has one of the greatest story's I have personally ever read, and a large part of that has to do with the completely unique story One Piece portrays. Yea, you could say that One Piece has elements from other things, but doesn't everything? The story is just grand (outside fillers, which surprisingly, aren't even that awful. And Skypia. I think I'm the only one that doesn't like skypia though) and when things happen, even to characters that you know won't be around during a majority of the adventure, you tend to feel for them.
Art:
Unlike most older animes, One Piece's art style has honestly aged well, and only gotten better. Nuff Said.
Sound:
The OST for One Piece is honestly One of the best Piece's of music I've ever listened too. (get it?) The openings are fantastic, and so are the endings.
Characters:
The characters in One Piece are extremely unique, and are pretty much all memorable, if not by name, but by what they looked like or what they said. Some characters just had a certain way of speaking, others looked extremely funny, and some were just memorable in general.
Enjoyment:
Some animes that are much shorter than One Piece have often gone on the backburner when I get in the mood for One Piece, mainly because if I'm in that mood, I can't really scratch my anime itch unless I watch some One Piece.
Overall:
Definitely the best anime I've ever seen, and I challenge anyone to give me one better.
