Summary:
Before he was executed, the legendary Pirate King Gold Roger revealed that he had hidden the treasure One Piece somewhere in the Grand Line. Now, many pirates are off looking for this legendary treasure to claim the title Pirate King. One pirate, Monkey D. Luffy, is a boy who had eaten the Devil's Fruit and gained rubber powers. Now he and his crew are off to find One Piece, while battling enemies and making new friends along the way.
One piece delivers. People accuse it as "cliche" and predictable, or similar to other anime/manga but what they don't realize is that those "other anime/manga" are similar to One Piece. One Piece sets the bar, basically. I will admit it is slow and lighthearted at the start, but One Piece is probably the best long term anime ever made. All the main characters are basically fully developed, the story is complex and the show is almost completely without fillers. Other anime should be compared to One Piece, in my opinion, it is above petty criticism. IMO :D
