One Piece is the anime for you if you like Pirates and big adventures!
This anime takes you on a big journey with Luffy, the man who's body became rubber, and all his friends with their own dreams. together they sail the seas on a quest to find One Piece.

The animation of One Piece is colorful and generally just happy. So are the characters, with each their own personality, who are fantastic!
With now over 350 episodes, you'd think that it will get boring, but never was One Piece boring for me, never it ceased to amaze me.

The story focuses mainly on Luffy and his pirate crew the Strawhat Pirates. Each of the characters is given a significant amount of character development, and in no time you will learn and love them.

There's alot of comedy, which made me laugh hysterically. Watch out for people that might find it weird that you are laughing behind your screen!

Next to the comedy, there's a lot of fighting.
with the supernatural abilities many characters in one piece have, there are much interesting fights to watch. and there's always a satisfying end fight between luffy and the enemy.

Apart from the happy stuff, there also happens to be some parts that made me cry.
The amount of episodes really make you get into the story, and makes you feel empathy for the characters

Now i have developed a One Piece addiction, every week i can't wait to watch it!

Apart from the anime that is adapted from the manga, there are some fillers, but these are not bad at all, and usually are quite funny too
until now 8 movies have been released, and some aren't that special, but others were really good.

if you like one big adventure be sure to watch this!

10/10
