I am curious to what the base has to say about this series. I wan't to try for the 5th time to give this series a chance but I still don't know what is awesome about it. Alot of people say they like it and that its a good series. But what makes it that? Anyone care to enlighten me on this??
If you're trying for a 5th time you clearly haven't gone very far. Read the Manga. It's MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH better than the Anime!
I like it because:
-The variation of powers, fights etc. means it is never the same old thing over and over again
-There are so many badasses
-The plot is incredibly intricate, well developed and well sustained plot from any Manga I've read (and I've read A LOT)
-Character development is incredible
-Random Powerups not included
-Oda is the foreshadowing master
-The fights have great choreography
-The art is very fun to look at!
-One Piece taught me many lessons while growing up about friendship and family
-Nothing is ever obvious
-Due to the latter this makes every plot twist and sudden introduction incredible
-We're along for the entire ride
-There's always that sense of adventure that other Manga lack. I've only ever felt it with One Piece and HxH
-Monkey D. Luffy is a much better main protagonist than any other
-The names aren't boring regular Japanese names
-Oda had sparked my interest in folklore and mythology as he uses it a lot
-The villains are just incredible! Doflamingo, Blackbeard, Sakazuki, Crocodile, Rob Lucci... These are just a handful of the many epic villains in the Manga
-Expansive universe full of diversity
-Most importantly of all it's hilarious!
