omg, thank you!!! i'm glad i'm not the only one who doesn't like it :nuts: I've been reading the manga. I read the first 36 chapters, and it's just not that good. I know it's a little young for me, but still its SO DAMN OVERRATED. I do get that it will probably get better since Luffy is still trying to recruit members and everything. But even taking that into consideration, it's just not worth reading... especially for a 60+ volume series. I cannot believe that this sometimes gets better rankings than animes like Death Note in anime lists. Luffy is pretty funny sometimes, but I think young Naruto was funnier. And Ichigo and Naruto are so much cooler than him. :naruto:

I'm gonna keep reading until it gets into some of the better arcs, but I agree with you completely.
