Ren's take

Huge, silly and heartfelt, an adventure that keeps getting better the further you go.

One Piece is a big commitment, and the first arcs look dated next to modern anime. Stick with it. Luffy’s dream of becoming King of the Pirates sounds simple, but the world grows into one of the most detailed and inventive in fiction.

What keeps people watching for years is the crew. Each member has a past and a dream, and the arcs that focus on them are some of the most emotional in anime. The humor is goofy, the villains are wild, and the payoffs are earned over hundreds of episodes.

Start from episode 1 and go at your own pace. The films are optional extras.

Watch it if you want a long adventure with a crew you'll love.

Story

Gold Roger was known as the Pirate King, the strongest and most infamous being to have sailed the Grand Line. The capture and death of Roger by the World Government brought a change throughout the world. His last words before his death revealed the location of the greatest treasure in the world, One Piece. It was this revelation that brought about the Grand Age of Pirates, men who dreamed of finding One Piece (which promises an unlimited amount of riches and fame), and quite possibly the most coveted of titles for the person who found it, the title of the Pirate King. Enter Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy that defies your standard definition of a pirate. Rather than the popular persona of a wicked, hardened, toothless pirate who ransacks villages for fun, Luffy’s reason for being a pirate is one of pure wonder; the thought of an exciting adventure and meeting new and intriguing people, along with finding One Piece, are his reasons of becoming a pirate. Following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Luffy and his crew travel across the Grand Line, experiencing crazy adventures, unveiling dark mysteries and battling strong enemies, all in order to reach One Piece. *This includes the following special episodes: - Chopperman to the Rescue! Protect the TV Station by the Shore! (Episode 336) - The Strongest Tag-Team! Luffy and Toriko's Hard Struggle! (Episode 492) - Team Formation!
