Plot Synopsis

One Piece the treasure of a lifetime is being sought by every pirate in the seven seas. One boy's dream is to find that treasure and to become King of the Pirates. That boy is Monkey D. Luffy and with his rag-tag crew he will sail the Grand Line searching for a treasure that will make any pirate's dream come true.

Story & Characters

I think the first page of ONE PIECE sets the main goal throughout the whole anime/manga. The goal to find Gold D. Roger's treasure, One Piece. One Piece starts off by introducing us the main character, Luffy and some brief flashbacks that he has in which he wants to be a pirate. Now that he is grown up he has decided to fulfill that goal. Not only does he want to be a pirate, but he wants to be the new Pirate King and find One Piece. Too bad Luffy lacks some common sense and goes down a whirlpool which he decides, finally, is "not good". Either way, this is how One Piece begins. One Piece is probably one of the most comedical anime ever, with a very interesting twist in storyline. In an age where there are numerous pirates, luffy sets out on a raft and goes down a whirlpool only to be saved by a ship which hauls him up in a barrel and he pops out thinking about food. Now this world not only is unique as it has its own little world, but that there are special fruits- devil-fruits which bestow powers upon those who eat them depending on which fruit it is. For Luffy, this is the rubber (gumgum) fruit which allows him to stretch. What's the catch? Well being a pirate, it is very important that one knows how to swim, and anyone who has eaten the gumgum fruit is incable of doing so no matter what the fruit. Luffy finds himself on an adventure, fighting bad guys and getting people for his crew (moreover annoying them until they agree) so he can make his way down the most dangerous route of all *The GRANDLINE* to find One Piece... And so the adventure begins. Luffy and his weird logic and intense desire for food 24/7, Zoro his teammate who sleeps all the time, Nami the Pirate Theif (ironic), Sanji the cook who also likes to kick people and go after girls, Usopp the coward who runs away, and many other members of Luffy's crew which make him...suprisingly... A very good and strong pirate. So if you want some serious laughs and a nice storyline that is unique, I recommend One Piece!

Art

I love this anime cos it surprised me. I also disliked the drawing at the start, but after the 1st episode, I found the drawing really fits into the anime. I remember the first time I started reading the comic, I couldn't stop myself and read for 4 hours...(I downloaded 300 chapters...)
You can really feel the friendships in One Piece, unlike Naruto, I just don't feel the friendship between Naruto and Sasuke as deep as those in One Piece.
At last, the one element that I really like about One Piece is the control of the climax of the plot. I might have worded it wrong, but I really mean that One Piece is a bit like Naruto in the way that it actually make you really hate those bad guys that you'd really want to punch them. And at that exact moment, you see how Luffy seriously beat them up, just like in the 1st episode of Naruto, Naruto beat the crap out of that forgot-what-name after that forgot-what-name said something like "a kid like you can never beat me". This is what I meant by good control of the climax of the plot. Let's look at DBZ, when Cell stepped on Android 16's head, I think that scene meant to make you hate Cell, but I didn't feel anything...although Gohan did...
So whoever haven't seen One Piece, I recommend you do, it's a worthy one.

Presentation

It is soooooo originality! How often does a original pirate story hit the screen? I have to say, Eiichiro Oda has come up with some pure brilliancy here!
and

OMg !!!! that One piece is one of the best animes in the whole wide world! Its also oneof the kind! Its original anime! It has action, comedy and alil bit of romance! lol

One Piece is great, it's got everything, someone (luffy) who is out to prove he can be king of teh pirates by being himself, not trying to prove he's something he's not, and to give shanks his hat back of course. One Piece is a crazy adventure and I love the art syle, it's got something different that makes it stick out and stick with you. I LUV One Piece!

and lastly...
why i love one piece--
I <3 one piece because it's awesome. it's hilarious. There's never a boring episode. All of the characters (luffy, zoro, nami, usopp, sanji, chopper, & robin) are so unique and they make a good team. They kick ass in almost every episode! I hate how 4kids butchered the show for fox, but it's OK... because the original one piece is the best... and that's all that matters!
