Anyone ever read or watch One Piece?

[Theia_Loki]

So far it's been pretty good (or just as good as cake, for that matter). Love the art style, the story telling, the scenarios, the locations, the backgrounds, and the characters depicted (a whole lot of depth, variety, plot twists, surprises, and humour). Even if you don't like it for whatever reason, I won't hold it against you; whatever reason for disliking it, it's a matter of personal choice per individual, and same goes for liking it. If you ever consider reading or watching it, just search for sites such as mangashare or anime4f (they're currently up to 513 chapters & 368 episodes, but quantity isn't what it's all about).

In case you ask, I'm not talking about the 4kids distributed version of the anime which sucked. FUNimation is currently re-dubbing the series and distributing it, with much better quality voice-acting packed in.

I can't say I've ever heard of it, to be honest.

I watched the first episode, the characters were -way- too eccentric for my tastes.  But maybe I'll give it another try.  I have a hard time picking up new series unless I force myself to watch a few episodes.

[Lavarinth]

If this is an anime.. I'll still stick with only Death Note.

I use to watch it but it quickly and quietly fell from my taste.

Eh.  It's okay.  I read it and it's good but I'm not addicted to it like things I truly enjoy.  If I can't obsess over it then it doesn't pass the test.

Your random signature and "different" avatar is so.. Different from the standard that I forget it's you posting, hah.

[mAc Chaos]

What's the standard?  Perhaps it can be FIXED.  I thought it fit the color scheme of the forum better.

I saw 2 episodes. That show is complete garbage imo. It makes me hate just by mentioning it.

Haha, I meant the retro avatars with you here. Not necessary

Also, is this series like 10 minutes long an episode to have 368 episodes?

I wanted one of Rond but there aren't any pictures of him anywhere...

He meant larger pictures.  I pointed him to the one in the CI section, wasn't big enough tho.  I'm afraid I've lost all artwork from that era.  I can count at least 2 hardware failures that caused me to lose a ton of data since that point.  I'm already double driving my SC2 stuff, including any presets I make in audition (which would be a pain to recalibrate).

I see your point. It's hard getting used to something you don't normally watch, but it does take a while. In the meantime, you could check out some of the episodes from the Skypiea and Enies Lobby arcs (or the current Thriller Bark arc) and see if it's really worth it to try watching it again.

By the way, which version of the anime were you guys watching? If it was the one that was broadcast by 4Kids, then that's the crap job that should be avoided; it sucked, mostly due to the constant censoring and skipping arcs.

I have to agree with Zilla, I thought the show sucked.
