In this post, I'd like to talk about the greatest TV series/cartoon/anime around, One Piece. It's about a boy named Luffy who aspires to be the King of the Pirates. However, there are loads of other pirates vieing for the title, and Luffy isn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box.
The series is around 375 episodes and counting in Japan and even has a manga (comic book, essentially) with over 500 chapters. The series aired on FOX and Cartoon Network stateside, but is no longer airing for the time being. There are two English versions available, one by 4Kids Entertainment and one by FUNimation Entertainment. The 4Kids version is largely inferior, and only contains 104 of the first 143 episodes of the series, while FUNimation has released 144-167 before the series went on hiatus and is currently rereleasing the first 143 episodes on DVD, with the first 26 already out and 14 more episodes coming in January. Everyone who even mildly likes cartoons, pirates, or anime, should at least give the series a fair try, either in its original Japanese or the excellent FUNimation edition.
If you like action, but not too much, comedy, drama, tragedy, and full-on fun, One Piece is the series for you. :) I advise you to check it out!
