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.
This series is truly an epic tale in every way. I'm not sure if eiichiro oda intended to write an epic when he began but an epic is definitely what has evolved from his story. The series has everything a good anime needs. You get the hopelessness from bleach and the rise-against-the-odds from naruto all tied to seriously funny scenes and character depictions that only come from one piece. The characters are very deeply developed in a way that makes you wanna cry after almost every episode. Don't be discouraged by the low animation quality at the beginning. Although the animation quality starts off very low quality it gets exponentially better after about episode 60 and again around 150ish. This has to be the best anime series I've ever come across. Do try to enjoy it without letting it distract you from school work cuz it will. Good stuff! >_< b
