Gol D. Roger was known as the Pirate King who was the strongest pirate who ruled the seas. Well, I don't have to explain this, because the page of MAL says it, so explaining it is kind of useless. Although this is the main story, it branches off into several characters stories, who have their own kind of backstory. Luffy's is shown in the first couple of episodes, and re-shown after the Marineford arc, what really happened. Zoro is also shown within the first 20 episodes... well, I ain't sitting here explaining which backstories were shown in which episodes. But, the story keeps on going and going which is my favourite part about One Piece.
The animation and art-style... It ain't the greatest thing in existence. But, unlike other people, I frankly don't give a shit. I franky don't give a shit. Ha! Nah, sorry, I'll kill myself right now. Anyway, I don't care for the animation and art-style as long as the content is still good. I can watch things with not-so-good animation and art-style as long as the story and content of it is good.
The soundtrack is my second favourite thing about One Piece. I think it's second. Well, anyway, I like how a scene you try not to bawl your eyes out in, and you're succeeding... until.... SAD MUSIC SLASH! Yeah, this is basically what happens. And then they kill you.
The characters, third favourite. I have a lot of favourite things about this anime. I like sometimes how they re-use voice actors for different characters in the series. It's easier than finding new people, so I kind of see why they do this. The character development though, is so good. It makes Boku no- Not the best example, so I won't say anything.
I enjoyed this anime a lot. I didn't start watching it a lot until the Enies Lobby arc (late 200s and early 300s) and it wasn't the greatest series before then. But, after that moment, I started watching the anime a lot, every day even. I ain't a serious anime watcher or reviewer, so I can't judge an anime better than someone that actually lives off of this. But one thing I can say is, this anime is great. If you're planning to watch it, don't stop before at least Arlong Park. If you still don't like it at Arlong Park... well... try to get to Alabasta at least. It's one of the first big arcs, and Alabasta features one of the first main villains to ever appear. So, don't back down from the first couple of episodes. Continue. Continue. Watch it all...
...or just read the manga.
