First let me preface this by saying: I haven't seen One Piece (dubbed or otherwise) so I have absolutely no opinion of the show at all. I've watched the first episode of Naruto (that's it), and really only watch Bleach because .... actually, I can't remember right now why I watch Bleach, but I'll probably remember at some point. However, when you say:

I liked One Piece quite a bit but got tired of it after 70 episodes or so... I didn't really like it's story telling method of introducing a new bad guy and then having that arc dedicating to getting rid of him... too predictable.

^ Most shounen do that
Well, One Piece has to be one of the good shounen out there. The problem with it is that you have to watch at least 10 episodes, but realise that you're watching a very long shounen anime. Obviously, if you don't like shounen, even the drama that's ahead on various parts won't do it for you. But the thing I like about One Piece is that it can deliver drama pretty good and it's just shounen.

Anyways, if I had seen it a bit earlier I would prolly have fallen in love with it, but by that point I had already watched soo much shounen. I was a bit tired of the genre and had begun to move on to better things. lol |

The main characters are the SH crews.. after 40-50 episodes.. all the 1st five characters are introduced and in the arlong park arc.. its starts to jump right up!!! so high its still jumping up till now.. arc after arc... the story gets more interesting because it gets deeper and deeper.. and the further the story goes.. you kinda like know more of each of the characters.. however.. then you'll realize how much you know everyone of them.. except Luffy himself... before entering the grand line.. we never knew how deep this story is gonna be.. we thought that other pirates are the ones that's gonna be Luffy's crew's enemy.. however.. when you reach this very arc.. you'd understand that actually its not... its the government themselves.. I know you guys wont understand much of what I said.. but try it.. its the best shounen.. It consists lots of dramatic, hillarious, mystery, betrayal, adventure, action, everythng.. not much romance though.. what makes it so interesting is the plot twist,. the story telling... Missing 100 years of History, Will of the D, Raftel, Revolution, Pirates, Sichibukai, World Government, Poneglyph, Pirate Summit, 3 admirals, Devil Fruit, original and unique fighting skill.. its fun and all.. try it!! If its not good.. how could it ever be one of the best selling shounen titles?? |

72.. hmm? still doesn't get you?? well.. I dunno what to say.. it is the start of Grand Line though.. but you haven't reach alabasta.. cuz usually ppl got hooked after Arlong Park.. I got hooked after Alabasta.. maybe you should try alabasta again... or restart everything until alabasta.. ^^ however though.. 72 episodes hasn't got what I listed above right?? ^^ That's just 5 crews only though.. you haven't seen the 6th and 7th.. the 7th crew is my favourite member.. ^^ those things comes out much later.. ^^ |

@d.Lughie If someone has seen 72 episodes of a series and didn't like it, I think it's safe to say they don't like it. Even if you love One Piece, it doesn't mean everyone else has to as well.

secondly, alot of my friends like DBZ and it is one of the few anime known to people who may not even no of any other anime. Maybe there is a difference in certain countries. I don't know where your from but where i live it is seen as good entertainment. There is nothing wrong with me disagreeing with this, because i extremely dislike it, not because of it's popularity, but because of it's bad animation, stupid charaters, and it's all round terrible theme/story. I may have completely missed your point and i am sorry if this was complete dribble. I'm tired and i want to go to bed. um... night. |

I know there's a reason why I like Bleach, but it's escaping me at the moment. Oh well, probably not that important. I have a feeling it's probably missing in the filler, which is why I can't really remember it. Anyway, I still maintain if you have to get to episode 72 (!!!) before something becomes good, it's probably not that good to begin with. Someone who gives something 72 episodes has gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above and beyond the call. I don't usually give a series more than two or three episodes.

It's good to see One Piece getting its well deserved attention. Personally I don't have any opinion of it being overrated or underrated, I just think it's a very good series. So good I still remember how it used to bombard me with all kinds of emotions. A very good series.

I agree with you in a way, but I also disagree a little bit. For me, next time one of the good side characters gets "killed" or mortally injured, I won't burst into tears or become super sad anymore. I'll just think "Oh, too bad for him, *shrugs* Ah well, I'm sure he'll come back again in 10-15 episodes alive and well." That's about the only thing I can complain about One Piece. The fake deaths are "slightly" overused and won't impact me anymore. I'm currently at eps. 193. I would say the last 90 episodes or so is floating in 50-85% range of the "goodness" it used to be for me. 100% being the Drum Island, I liked those episodes alot. If it weren't for all the fake deaths, I would deem the potential of the last 90 episode to be in the 150-175% range, basically, "damn, it just keep getting better and better." I'm not saying it sucks, on the contrary. I'm just thinking that it has so much more potential if only they would please halt the abuse of fake deathing. All in all very good, and I still enjoy it alot. |

Yup.. thats the only things bothering me too though.. I am quite unhappy about that.. However.. because of the story development and everything.. those disappointments are covered and mended.. ^^
@rooboy the 1st 50 episodes I wouldn't say its not good.. I can say its at the same level as Naruto/Bleach... but after Arlong Park and after they enter GL.. it soar high leaving those 2.. ^^ I'm not boasting or bluffing.. you did see the selling rate of the manga in Japan right?? Naruto with 31 vol.. sold for about 61+ million.. OP with 37 vol sold for about 115+ million.. doesn't that say something?? |

Overrated anime, eh? For me... 1. The Meloncholy of Suzumiya Haruhi. Smack me for saying my opinion, kay? But yeah, I seriously don't see how this anime is the best of the best. For Christ's sake, I've seen better stuff. It's so annoying how this crap is EVERYWHERE now. Why is this so popular? Seriously, it's like all the other anime from its genre, why does this one stick out so much? And don't give me that crap like I've only seen the 1st ep. I stopped on episode 7, right in the middle. Kyon's constant narration gives me a headache and I literally had to take Tylenol every time I had to watched this. The characters are all out of whacked too. Haruhi's got ADHD or something. I pity Mikuru. Every guy fapping to her and want her to get raped by Haruhi. Gosh. If they brought MoSH to the US, I'd die. It'd be Naruto all over again >_<; 2. DB series. Okay, the 1st series, it was pretty good. But afterwards, they kept on going over the same old crap. What the hell. It's so repetitive. I can't see how anybody still likes this series. It got old reeeeeeally fast. And they're pretty much milking money off a series that should've died soooooo long ago. 3. Gundam series. IMO, G Gundam was probably the best one out of all the Gundam series. The rest of the series are basically a snooze fest. And Seed is so angsty, what the heck man? 4. Naruto. It's just like MoSH except with ninjas T_T Just as annoying. It was okay for a short period of time. But it kept showing the same repetivity DB had. IMO, I think they should've just left Naruto in Japan. Never should've brought it here. Now there's 10 times as many Narutards >_>; 5. Pokemon. A Digimon rip-off(remember kiddies, Digimon came 1st.). Pokemon seriously should've died a long time ago along with DB. How the hell..can you understand what the hell they're saying? PIKA PIKA! ...Huh? And um, what the heck were they thinking sending out 10 year olds on a journey? Like that world has some pretty huge, scary pokemon. They could get eaten. :X 6. Duel Masters. C'mon. This anime was stupid. A rip off of Yu-gi-oh. A bad rip. T_T; We don't need another anime that has to do with a card game. We really don't. |
