 how many are watching this?

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

Nay! Never did, never will.

I have only 24 hours a day. Don't think I'll be willing to spend time on this one.

[nauXolo (#69311)]

nooooo you're so missing out...

this one gets so good.. although i must admit it is quite random (maybe not to your taste if you like strong strong characters) and to buy it would be pretty expensive.

[Caddberry (#27690)]

I'm totally watching it.. But I'm watching the subs by K-F.. or Kaizoku .. I think it is.. They arent up to that far.. Unless they like had a burst of energy and I just havent checked their site for like ages or something..

[nauXolo (#69311)]

that group is a good group because they were way better than the HK-rips that were out, but if you know japanese well enough to not require good translations, then keep going! towards the end... with the inclusion of nico robin in their group, the story really gets hard core.
(and there are a lot of good fansubbing groups towards these newer episodes with HDTV quality videos, totally awesome)

they get really close to the marine base, (i dont think this counts as a spoiler) and luffy gets in real intense fights with good character build on the other crew members

I'm watching it! I hope it comes on DVD soon, cus I really want to continue this series where i left off (ep 50ish, on the english ver, prolly 120 on jap ver). It's a great anime, the version I watched was dubbed, but not edited, and was released exclusively in the country I'm in (on VCD). It's a great anime, maybe my fave yet, along with escaflowne. I gotta see it to the end ! wohohooo !!

[Doff (#45012)]

Of course i'm watching it... i've seen all eps up to date, couldn't wait for the slow fansub groups anymore so i started watching the raws^^

Totally worth the time.

[Basaiken (#41941)]

[Feitan (#75952)]

I'm up to eps 165 of K-F subs. I'm going to stick with K-F and not jump ahead by reading manga or watching HK and raws.

[digne (#95164)]

I am watching it still of course Its really worth waiting for a new episodes

[Luffy (#100635)]

Currently my favorite!

[Freddy C (#31563)]

I'm currently watching this and to be honest I can sympathise with a lot of people out there that are very reluctant to check this out, it took me about 3 years to actually say yes to it.

One Piece is one of those animes that's really time consuming, like all long running animes. Unfortunately, through watching it, it's one of those animes that improves the more you watch it. Therefore, most might abandon ship before it actually gets started. The simple animation style may not suit all either.

The anime has it's brilliant moments of storytelling, by far the best was the doctor arc, I don't think an anime has actually made to cry all out loud before, only silent tears. I have to say that I am only now watching it because I'm at about episode 220 and it'd be mad not to follow it. Another interesting arc is coming up but this one will take aaaaaaaaages to resolve.

And just to Luffy's post above, I thought Naruto was better, the characters ties were woven much more closely.

And just a question, anyone read the manga? Cause I don't and it'd be nice to see where that is right now, I mean how much longer will the anime go on for?

[Veleon (#124559)]

One Piece was never really my thing. Don't get me wrong, it's a fresh new idea, a new art style. But after watching the first couple of arcs, i felt it was moving way too slow for my taste. So i just stopped watching it. I have nothing bad to say about it, i just though it was slow.

As for the manga, my cousin reads it, he says they are on chapter 400 and something. So it might take awhile for the anime to catch up.

[Rosepetals (#42525)]

At what episode did you stop watching Veleon, just out of curiosity?

***

Yeah, I ended up having to drop One Piece after some time because I wanted to see other series in between and also because of life in general, but I managed to get through a good bit of the series (it was around episode 70ish. I can't remember right off-I might pick it up again if I find the time). It's a long series, but it's engaging once it really gets into the story, I definitely liked it. You have to have some patience watching it, almost like when you're watching Detective Conan (which is also a long, long series).

[Veleon (#124559)]

I stopped watching it at around when Luffy was fighting Crocodile.

[Freddy C (#31563)]

What?! How can you stop there? lol, man, that was one of the more exciting arcs, apart from those rubbish filler episodes in the desert.

There is this big problem (or it's a problem to me), where anime version of things for long running series just totally bloats things up. I hate how a lot of animes now, even a few of the 26 episodes ones filled with copious amounts of flashbacks, I hate watching flashbacks, you don't really get flashbacks of frames in manga.

Will any production be brave enough to just tell the story from a long running manga in a compact way and not worry too much about making money? It'll be great to see.
