The plot actually is quite good, even though carrying the mainstream shounen anime and a little bit straight-forward. As you watch the anime, you can easily tell that every episode is intriguing ( I don't know if you want to count fillers ). Also, every arc I watched so far does not disappointed me at all, even though some maybe better than the others. And it is also have originality, maybe because its concept that is rare in shounen anime. Just because it left a complexity, I'll rate the story 8.
The art is not so compelling as the story is at the beginning, but as you follow every episode, the art is beginning to improve. Although not as good as the other newer animes, the art is good enough for at least myself. I'll rate the art 7.
The soundtracks, OP and ED are really good and well placed, suitable with the story that is about the pirates and adventures. Guess I'll say nothing more about the sound and rate it 8.
The character development of every Straw Hat crew is quite good, considering the adventure that they had experienced. It's impressive how the adventure had make them more mature and stronger in terms of physical, mental, emotion and their will. I'll rate it 8.
The anime is really, really, really enjoyable. The anime can make you laugh, being amazed and cry at the same time. So, I'll rate the enjoyment 10.
Overall, this anime is one of the best anime that I've watched so far. Why not the best? Because there are some anime that is same level as One Piece. BTW, I'd recommend this for those who loves shounen anime. So, say no more, I'll rate this anime an outstanding 10.
P/S : And for those who says that this anime sucks, open your hearts please. One Piece isn't as bad as you think. Don't be so judgmental just because the art is not so compelling, the episodes are too many or whatever that makes it looks bad to you. Just give it a try.
