One Piece: Collection One

Finally! Fans Rejoice!!!
Previously, One Piece was released in 13 episode sets for around $35. NOW, Funimation is unleashing these larger, 24 episode sets! Having seen Funimations One Piece dubs previously, these are greatly acted and the quality was great on their last One Piece sets. For the lower price AND a full 24 episodes, THIS is the time to buy One Piece in America!!! I preordered and will update my review upon arrival and completion.

Funimation - quality North American One Piece Provider
I simply can't explain how exciting it is to finally be able to own a legal copy of One Piece in America!
Thank you Funimation for providing an excellent product:
* uncut & unedited
* Japanese audio and English subtitles available
* quality English dub as well
* and all for a great low price

I only wish they were coming out faster so I could own them all right now!

Quite good. Better than I expected.
I've been seeing references to One Piece for years, so I got this mainly so I'd be able to appear competent in the next conversation where it turned up.

The show was much better than I expected.

For starters, the show is serialized, with many of the stories stretching out over several episodes. Next, the characterizations have a lot of life and quirkiness to the. Some have stereotypical aspects, with swordsman Roronoa Zoro as a strong hero type, Nami as a clever thief, and chef Sanji as a womanizer. But all have other aspects to their character, and the show devotes plenty of time to good character building.

I particularly liked the story of Usopp the liar. His story starts in a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" fashion, with him screaming to villagers that pirates were about to attack. He's known as the village liar. His stories help to cheer up the girl Kaya, who has lost her parents. In the course of the 9 episode story, he's put into a deep "Cried Wolf"...
