GOD the first fifteen episodes suck in comparison to later episodes. Keep watching, the arcs get much more character-driven and action-filled, such as the Baratie arc, the Arlong arc, and the Loguetown arc.
Anywho, the reasons I love One Piece:
~ The main characters mesh so well together. Each have their own distinct personality and contribute their own thing to the group.
~ The stories can be very dramatic, especially each of the characters' histories. It really shows why each character does what they do and how they tick.
~ The character designs are whacky, zany, and unique. It's a fresh change from the stereotypical "badass" anime designs (ie. Naruto).
~ The characters are all very likeable and have their own personalities -- even villains and supporting characters.
~ Lots-o-Funny-Stuff. ^_^
