Any One Piece fans?
Gotta admit I do like it tho it took a LONG TIME for me to really get into it. I'm talking hundreds of episodes.
It is really unique as far as most shonen go. Usual formula is Bad Guy Group 1 shows up, good guys kick their ass, random eps, BGG2 shows up, good guys kick ass etc.
One piece has many groups of bad guys that show up in and out through the series, never really being defeated. The world government and shichibukai mainly. Then there are countless pirate crews. Also much less ass pulls. N this anime has probably had me in suspense more than any other. Like usually no matter how bad things get, you know in the back of your mind that the good guys will survive and win the fight.. Well there have been quite a few times where I really thought main characters would die.. at the end of the Thriller Bark arc they had me believing the whole Strawhat crew was going to die, even tho I knew there was 200+ more episodes left.
It's a great anime once you really get into it. My only complaint is how long some of the arcs can get. I mean you can fit an entire two to three 26 ep animes into ONE ARC of one piece that might not even be good. So you end up spending alot of time watching a 50 episode lame arc like the Skypeia one, banging your head on the desk until it's finally over when you could have watched all of FMA brotherhood in the same time..
Anywhoo, other One Piece fans?
