One Piece

Moving onto anime number 3 we have Eiichiro Oda's One Piece. Now unlike Naruto and Bleach, One Piece is funnier and not as serious when it comes to the story line. The story is easy to get as well; it is about Monkey D Luffy, a pirate who sets out to find the legendary treasure that the king of the pirates left behind “One Piece”, and to become the next king of the Pirates. Along the way he meets other people who he would join his crew and help him along the way.

The powers in One Piece are weird and funny which is another reason I like the anime. The main powers in One Piece come from the “Devil’s Fruits”. When a person eats one of the devil fruits they gain a special ability (such as Luffy becoming a rubber man), but they loose their ability to swim. This is also a thing that makes the anime funny because some of the characters forget about that and just jump into the sea, but it also makes it interesting how they can be a pirate with the ability to swim take away from them. The devil fruits are usually called by what their ability is usually the word of the ability repeated twice, such as Gomu Gomu no Mi (rubber rubber fruit).

The powers range from being able to split any part of the body to having control over sand. The fruits are separated into three main categories: Paramecia – the person gains supper human physical abilities and they can alters the features of the persons body (such as Luffy becoming a rubber man), Zoan – being able to transform into a animal and Logia – the most powerful of the fruits, this allows the person to generate, manipulate and transform themselves into a element (such as lighting, smoke, water etc). Not only are thier davil fruit users but some people with out them can still fight witch give the series more variety than everyone just having a power from the same sourse. Zoro (the swords man on Luffy's crew) fights with 3 swords while Sanji (the cook on Luffy's crew) fights using his legs and they are counted as strong as a Devil Fruit user which does not mean that the only people than can accualy fight are the people with the devil fruit.

Well so far so good with this anime: it has variety of powers and it's funny. The one thing that i really like about it is that the fillers are not nororiouse long and boring like some of the Bleach and Naruto one's, sometime there would be like one or two episodes of a filler and then go back to the accual story line. The one thing i would say is that the fillers appear out of nowhere and they have no relevance to the story that was going on before it. Another thing is the main character Luffy (which most people that i know hate haha), i like him because of his care free personality and even thou he makes some stupid things (such as constantly jumping in the water even thou he can't swim, or he gets distracted during a fight by how "cool" the other persons power is) i still like him because he is not as seriouse as Ichigo or Naruto all the time and when he needs to be he does not go over the top, it's the perfect combination of Ichigo's seriouse personality an Naruto's funny moments. The other characters in it are also round up and make the situation that Luffy gets them in (most of the time into fights they don't have to) more funny, but over all they give they still respect him even though Zoro or Sanji could rival Luffy in combat. So here you have it anim enumber 3.
