"A series that will try to keep pirates cool forever, that none of us will ever see end in our lifetimes." ~ Honest Trailers Anime - One Piece
Script[]
From the publisher that's so into pirates and ninjas, you'll swear it's 2002, or Japan (Weekly Shōnen Jump), one author (Eiichiro Oda) will create a series that will try to keep pirates cool forever, that none of us will ever see end in our lifetimes.
One Piece
Follow along on a series where, after 700 episodes, 14 movies, and 15 years of run-time, you still don't know jack sh*t about anything, where pirates and Marines fight in their never-ending search for the One Piece, a treasure the show has failed to mention anything about for, like, 20 years, as our heroes embark on a quest to be the best pirates ever, by protecting people from... pirates. Huh; they have no clue what pirates actually are, do they?
Climb aboard the Merry Go with anime's first obvious diversity hires: Luffy, the simpleton on a quest to become the King of Pirates, that he won't ever become since he has to save every country he lands on; Nami, the curvaceous navigator, who uses her over-glorified compass once a season; Zoro, a samurai who can cut steel, ships, palaces, and krakens like tofu... but can never slice anyone in half because this show is PG-13; Sanji, the cook who's so horny, you probably don't want him touching your food; Usopp's nose; Chopper, a... reindeer doctor (?) -- That's weird... -- Franky, the robot cyborg who can engineer anything... except for pants; Robin, the archaeologist, because this pirate crew has an archaeologist for... some reason; and Brook, the musician, who would be a total racial stereotype if he had any skin.
Enter the Grand Line, where characters are granted almost godlike powers by the mysterious Devil Fruit, becoming rubber, fire, smoke, poison, swords, and... lots of hands (?), but somehow are weak to the one thing essential to a series about pirates: water, in the anime equivalent of what Shyamalan did to Signs. And if arbitrary superpowers weren't enough, get ready for Haki, a convenient plot device that makes Fruit users look like Yamcha (shows Yamcha lying immobile in a crater in Dragon Ball Z), leaving characters to fight epic battles where warriors will show up from literally nowhere to fight people for no reason, all while screaming the name of their finishing moves, because... they can.
Franky: --Radikaru Bīmu! (--Radical Beam!)
Sanji: Heru Memorīzu! (Hell Memories!)
Zoro: Rengoku... Oni Giri! (Purgatory... Oni Giri!)
Luffy: Gomu Gomu no... EREFANTO GAAAAAN! (Gum-Gum... ELEPHANT GUUUUUN!)
So take a bite of that Devil Fruit, put on your signature straw hat, and set sail for an epic adventure full of colorful characters, imaginative worlds, and zany action, because even with all its faults, it'll always be a fun ride with the Straw Hat Pirates. Unless an accurate pirate experience is what you're looking for (shows Jack Sparrow pole-vaulting over a chasm while tied to a stick in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest); then this is definitely not for you.
Starring: Condom Man (Mayumi Tanaka/Colleen Clinkenbeard as Monkey D. Luffy); Yajirobe (Kazuya Nakai/Christopher Sabat as Roronoa Zoro); Gildarts (Shūichi Ikeda/Brandon Potter as "Red-Haired" Shanks); Pinocchio (Kappei Yamaguchi/Sonny Strait as Usopp); Rudolf (Ikue Otani/Brina Palencia as Tony Tony Chopper); Wonder Medusa (Kotono Mitsuishi/Lydia Mackay as "Pirate Empress" Boa Hancock); Super Hentai (Kazuki Yao/Patrick Seitz as "Iron Man" Franky); Sandman (Ryūzaburō Ōtomo/John Swasey as "Desert King" Sir Crocodile); Jurassic Drake (Eiji Takemoto/D.C. Douglas as "Red Flag" X Drake); and Strongest Straw Hat (Akemi Okamura/Luci Christian as Nami).
No Piece Ever
The honest title for One Piece was 'No Piece Ever'.
Did you know that Oda has 10 more years of One Piece material planned? Maybe I'll see the ending one day... if I'm not dead first.
