Preliminary (1000/? eps)
One Piece is an amazing anime, in terms of world-building, character development and it is filled with a very deep storyline. It contains awesome action, adventures, comedic moments. It is long because it builds up the world of One Piece and its characters and you can look back on how far they have all come from once it all ends. There are so many great things to look back to at every arc which always makes One Piece very interesting.

There are hundreds of characters who are all interesting and have their own backstories. The adventures that the main characters go to are always intriguing such as fighting new enemies, meeting new friends, exploring the world, and stumbling upon new mysteries. The One Piece mysteries always have fans coming up with their own theories, but Oda has planned it all from the very beginning and gives the audience some clue by using foreshadowing.

The world of One Piece shows us every human can be good or evil such as pirates can be good and help people and navy soldiers can be evil and corrupt. Every villain has their own sets of ideas and backstories to the world, and all have unique fighting styles. The protagonists being the Straw Hat Pirates all have their own dreams and goals. Every member has their own way of excelling in a fight. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but they are all useful to the overall story. Some members are extremely strong physically and can fight very well but not as strong mentally, while others are geniuses but don't possess monstrous physical strengths. All the members are lovable each having their own interesting and sad backstories which lead to them pursuing their own dreams while helping Luffy to become the Pirate King and finding One Piece. The supporting characters of each arc all get their chance to shine, no one seems to be left out in the story, they all have a part to play in the overall outcome.

I'd say Oda is a genius for creating One Piece and Luffy as its protagonist who is both extremely strong, funny, and interesting. Luffy's fighting style is so creative and versatile because he has the powers of rubber man. It always comes in handy in a fight or almost any given situation. Luffy will always find a way to win fights using his creative rubber powers, extremely strong will and keen intellect in battles. The soundtrack and music in the opening and ending are also awe-inspiring which gives out so many emotions to the series.

The animation has been well done considering is an older anime, the art style is unique and different from other shows where Oda draws creatures possessing all sorts of forms. I personally really love Oda’s art style which gives every character its beauty both female and male characters. Finally, the show gave me the most emotions through its long journey. I have felt excitement, happiness, sadness, and anger throughout the whole series through its character, battles, emotional scenes, soundtrack. I have never cried so much for an anime and there are countless emotional and beautiful moments in One Piece.

My overall enjoyment is through the roof for One Piece, there are many more great things to add on but for now, this is
