My (current) little anime obsession
Ceej989 | 4:11 PM on 08.27.2008 23 comments


I've dabbled a bit here and there with Anime ever since college. A lot of my friends were
huge huge fans of series with Ninjas, big boobs, catchy err...catch phrases, and tentacles. I
wasn't really a fan of the stuff as I thought most of them were stupid. I didn't really like FLCL
or Evangelion (**awaits the haters**). So yeah, I did like Trigun, Afro Samurai (does that
count?), Hajime no Ippo, and Naruto. But I got sick of Naruto and the staring into the enemy's
eyes and talking and the backstory episodes, oh my GOODNESS the back story episodes
never ended! Recently, I got back into an anime that I hadn't watched in some time and I've
been hooked. What is it you ask? None other than the adventures of the Strawhat Pirates
and their quest for the One Piece.



I can already feel the sting from the flames that may come from posting this, but whatever.
For those of you that may not know, One Piece is about a kid named Luffy that goes out on a
quest to become the Pirate King and along the way befriends some people and kicks some
peoples' arses. What I like about the show is that it's friggin hilarious. All the characters have
their own little quirks about them and sometimes unexpected things happen. I'm not
particularly interested or fond of pirates, but this show tickles me pink!

I love One Piece so much, except for the 4Kids dub/edits of course, that thing was a travesty.

One Piece in Japanese? Fantastic.

One Piece bastardized by 4Kids and Funimation? ...

I really like the stylization in one piece and have seen around the 1st 180 episodes I think, it has been a long time I need to try and get the newer stuff. If I remember right I think the creator of the series actually said he took a little inspiration from some older US animations. But definitely a fun series if you can get pass the popular shonen model of character gets near utterly defeated and through shear determination overcomes impossible odds(like DBZ,Naruto etc.) then it is quite enjoyable, but probably not for everyone.

Japanese One Piece is pure win and is still going strong, I agree with Naruto I switched to reading the manga when the fillers hit but I just feel like so many manga/anime stories are so full of padding.

I keep trying to get into new ones and finding them but I don't find a lot of the perverted comedies that funny, still giving them a try though!

eh..One piece was something that doesn't really intrest me at all.

hell...I try my best to stray away from shonen Jump anime outside of bleach...which is also having it's ups and downs on both anime and manga.

if anything, most of the decent and/or good anime are your 25 episode series/seasons or less.

I love the One Piece manga. My anime crack right now is Gurren Lagann.

The One Piece manga is a ton of fun, but man oh man did 4Kids rape the TV show.

Ugh...

Try "Cowboy Bebop"...I've seen tons of anime over the last 15 years that most folks will never see (because much of it doesn't get licensed) and that one is still the best IMO.

If you want a real anime obsession...start collecting cels from the older shows, or sketches from the newer ones.

Haven't seen any new anime in a while, but Gurren Lagann is looking mighty tasty...

One Piece was voted by readers as the manga that makes them cry the most. Also its pirates at their most badass.

haha, thanks for all the replies, I wasn't trying to aim it at anyone, just writing something to share with you all. its funny how I was complaining about how there's so many filler episodes and I just hit a friggin wall of filler episodes in One Piece :-P
and yes, I'm talking about the Japanese voices with subs, english translations of most animes are sh!t. Thanks for the suggestions as well, I have seen Cowboy Bebop, I didn't really like it to be honest, I did like Samurai Champloo though. I do agree that when most shows get up there in the episodes, storylines repeat and start to just fall into a crappy pattern.

I could never get into One Piece because the character designs just did not appeal to me. Everyone is incredibly hideous and lanky, and I couldn't stand to look at them for extended periods of time.

What, specifically, did you not like about Cowboy Bebop? I'm just curious, because nearly everyone who has seen it has found something to like about it. I still think it's the most well-rounded anime of all time, along with Fullmetal Alchemist, where it can be funny, poignant, intense, thought-provoking, and so much more.

FLCL might be better appreciated after you have more anime under your belt, because there are a lot of references to other shows and weird Japanese cultural things.

I don't know what it was about it that I didn't like, I mean yeah it had it's humor thrown in every now and then. But something about it didn't do it for me. Characters were kinda cool I guess. The thing I like about One Piece is that the humor can happen at any time even during a serious fight, which I find hilarious.

fabulous Japanator anime and usually go for it's latest episodes. I hooked with One piece anime and never miss it's single episode. I've enjoyed all 500+ One piece episodes and 640 manga chapter too. I am fan of all those little anime champs.
