Its Unique

The Characters
The Chicks
Its Animation
One Piece just simply PwnZ
It's been awhile since I watched the beggining but from what I remember the first few episodes aren't that important. Although, to be honest you do meet 2 minor villians, Nami, and even Zoro by the second episode. However, I think you shouldn't be too lost if you skip the first 5 or so episodes.Originally Posted by splash
If you already saw those episodes dubbed then it's okay, you don't need to see them subbed. Episode 1 to 3 is Luffy meeting Zoro and 4 to 8 is the Buggy arc. Nothing really important there (except for Luffy's flashback) and the editing is just the stupid no blood, guns to cork/water/hammer guns and bad puns. But if you haven't seen them at least dubbed, I recommend you watching it from the beggining.
If you were able to see the luffy flashblack (eps. 4), you can skip over to the Kuro arc (eps. 9). And although you migh have watched it dubbed. You should see it completely subbed cause that's where the 4kids editing really starts to get out of hand by messing with really powerful scenes and destroying a character's development (Usopp's)
Also, don't get discouraged if you find it kind of boring at first. I didn't but some people have, until they reach Arlong Park that is. That's because the first 31 episodes are all dedicated to Luffy starting to assemble his crew. So its the same plot. Just wait till you get to Arlong Park. That's where it really kicks off.

Make sure ya watch Episode four for a littlr background info on Luffy and Shanks.
yeah i have seen the english versions of the first few episodes, so i am not going to watch them again. thnx for the info guyz
There is no doubt in my mind that One Piece is simply awesome. Believe it or not OP is more popular in Japan than Naruto and Bleach.
At first you dont realize its potentials but past few episodes and you find out the true genius that is Oda. All the characters have so much depth. The story itself is simple but the journey of Luffy is unheard off. The comedy of OP is still unmatched. Not even Naruto or bleach or any other anime that I have seen has that witty line.
OP simply owns every other anime out there. A true MASTER PIECE.
Nuff said right there. My only problem at the moment is I'm writing a paper and have no time to watch One Piece, but at least I'm still downloading em, so when I do, I can sit back, relax, and have a visual orgy.
This is alittle off-topic but I was thinking of rewatching some old episodes, does anyone know what episode Arlong Park starts at?
Havn't reached that far yet. =S
I feel good, my topic has helped to convert someone to One Piece
That would be episode 31.

its awsome! to bad thats not a choice, i'll choose the last one.
I see I'm the only vote for "It's funny as h*ll" so I guess i'll add in a bit of input too. I enjoy(ed) One Piece for reasons similar to those that have been mentioned already - unique storyline, characters, humor, and overall enjoyablility. However, the art turned me off initially back in episode 9 or 10 (Usopp/Kuro arc) and I was on and off for watching it a few years ago when there were other animes that I followed because of fillers in the middle of the Arabasta arc (although I totally didn't notice that the Apis arc was filler when I watched it).
I think anybody who has stopped following this anime should give it another try because of the comedy - it was the only reason that convinced me to resume following its progress. One Piece also tends to be less cliche and predictable in comparison to other shounen animes which helps keep people watching.
alrite, one more question, then ill stop asking stuff like a noob. Does garbage like One Peice filler eps exist or does the anime always stay on track. If fillers do exist, i would greatly appreciate it if someone could indicate to me which episodes.
Yes there are, I don't knwo what episodes, but from what I've read, the fillers aren't crappy, apparently the fillers are just as good as a regular episode. And funny as hell.
Some fillers do really suck and they tend to exaggerate the personality of the characters (Luffy's stupidity, Nami's bitchiness etc..).
Eps. 45-47 (buggy's side story)
Eps. 50-51 (Daddy the father and the chef contest in the louge town arc)
54-61 (Warship Island arc/ Apis arc) 61 is half filler though
Eps. 93(mostly filler), 98-99, 101-102 ( From the Arabasta arc)
131-135 (Post Arabasta arc filler)
136-138 (Goat island arc)
139-143 (Rainbow Mist arc)

Deblas covered most of it, but I'll go ahead and link to his probable source. Eps 45-47 (Buggy's side story) and 68-69 (Coby / Helmeppo side story) are from compilations of the first page of manga chapters so you may or may not consider them as "filler." This page contains the episode titles, so if you're not current with the latest releases (Gerusama / ADC-Elites) or a manga reader, beware of spoilers. Arlong Park's Anime->Episodes page
Ohh, forgot about the Coby/Helmeppo one. That one really sucked. But yeah. Arlong Park, for all your One Piece needs!!

i've seen the term "Arlong Park" a lot. What is it? is it a filler or something?
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

No, it's as awesome arc about Nami and has an awesome story.
Arlong Park still reminds of the scene where Nami is stabbing her arm and Luffy comes along and tell her to knock it off. Then he asks Sanji and Zoro to come along. That scene is so cool.
No Spoilers!! T-T I am regretting watching some of the Cartoon Network eps so bad, it gave away part of te story line, I just started the Arlong Park arc, watching it atm.
