One Piece rocks :D, April 6, 2008
This review is from: One Piece: Season One - First Voyage (Uncut) (DVD)
Can't wait to buy this! :) thank u funimation!
Some things i'd like to point out about One Piece:
1. Its really good! veeeeeeeeerrrrryy good :D funny, original, deep meaningful storylines, very cool and likable characters.... thats a brief description but i could honestly write pages on how good it is :)
2. It starts off just ok... but it gets better and better as it goes along... just like a snowball rolling down a mountain that eventually becomes an avalanche! i'm not kidding! i wasn't that into it at the start.. just watching it cos i heard it was good.. finally around episode 40ish (nami's story) i thought.. hey this is quite good! then the aribasta arc (around episode 90-125ish).. i was like wow! and it just gets better and better! and i'm not just saying that.. it really does! :)
3. Dont worry about watching the One Piece movies. they aren't written by Eiichiro Oda (the super cool guy that writes/draws One Piece manga), they're basically almost like filler episodes that dont really progress the main story. you can watch them once you've seen the anime episodes and dont have anything to do.. but dont watch them first! it might put you off and make you think One Piece is not great. I love One Piece.. and i dont even really watch the movies. I saw some reviews on amazon for the One Piece movie Desert Princess (forgot the exact title).. and some first time viewers got really put off by it.. which is a huge shame. the reason that movie is bad is they tried to condense 30+ anime episodes into a movie length feature... you lose so much emotional impact that way. just ignore the movies and maybe watch them after you've seen the series. you dont even really need to watch the movies.
4. if you are put off by the unusual way that its drawn.. dont worry.. you'll get so used to it.. and soon you couldn't imagine it drawn any other way! :)
5. Dont be put off by the length of the series. Trust me, once you're into it.. you'll wish that there was more episodes! :)
Well i hope this has helped you decide to give One Piece a try.. post a comment if u started watching the series and liked it! I hope you dont decide to quit your job in a few months and become a pirate! yohoho! hehe (i know i want to! :P)

An AMAZING Series!, April 8, 2008
This review is from: One Piece: Season One - First Voyage (Uncut) (DVD)
One Piece is a great series and this uncut version will impress you more than the terrible botched job that 4kids released awhile back. One Piece is epic and full of heart. The characters are funny and their motivations for their journey will keep you watching. You'll cheer when they win and you'll hate the baddies that try to stop them. It's a cast filled with great characters and exciting stories. This uncut version is a must-have!

Its about time!, March 25, 2008
This review is from: One Piece: Season One - First Voyage (Uncut) (DVD)
One Piece, for the first time in America, is going to be released, Uncut and with the new Funimation voice cast! If your used to the 4kids version, and like that version, then im sure you will love this version. Better voice acting, and completly uncut. The cover art looks pretty nice as well! I sure cant wait until more One Piece Releases come out, thank you Funimation for what you are doing!
