What can you say about a series where the main character is a rubberdumbass who leads a Pirate Crew containing a Badass Swordsman, a greedyharlot, a lying sniper with a slingshot, a kickboxing cook who loves the ladies, a reindeer boy thing who makes a great doctor, a woman who keeps quiet but always breaks spines, a pervo-Cyborg who uses cola as a fuel, and a perverted skeleton man who has a soft and lovely voice and is The Nice Guy? Pure win, that's what. Never have I seen a series that pulled me in as quickly as the first episode because of how funny it was, and still is. The humor is spot on, the emotions are real, there are scenes that made me feel warm inside, and honestly, there were moments of pure, unadulterated awesome. My top three characters are Luffy (for being Crazy Awesome), Zoro (for being PURE Awesome), and Robin (for being Creepy Awesome) in that order, but the rest of the crew all get a high 4th place because the entire crew have Awesome Moments, so I can't choose. I also appreciate how this series expresses the importance of friends in one's life, as friends help you go through the days. The fact that the show doesn't go overly dark helps. But finally, my favorite parts: the humor and hardcore. When I'm not laughing my ass off, I'm enjoying the awesome set before me, and when I'm not doing that, well, take a wild guess. This is great because I'm constantly entertained, what every fiction writer should strive for. Overall, if you wan't to try a series that's actually good or even great, check out One Piece. And while you're at it, check out Funimation's dub. You won't be disappointed.
Best. Show. EVER.
Note: I've experienced the Funimation dub.
