Well GoKents, I could help you out. I will be receiving my dvd collection of One Piece this week, and am pretty stoked about it.
Basically, the main characters of the storyline are the Pirates. And the crew that you typically follow is that of which Monkey D. Luffy leads. (See avatar for picture)
The majority of the people in this story have some special skill or power, so there are some really interesting battles. Luffy, who as a young child ate the "Devil's fruit" has the ability to stretch extremely long distances, why he is called "the rubberman".
Luffy wants to become the Pirate King, and to do so, he is required to get to the Grandline, a location which holds the most coveted Pirate prize, the "One Piece", as to which this Anime is named after.
Luffy picks up different people as he makes his journey along, all of which have special skills and/or talents that Luffy desires.
What makes this Anime more interesting, in my mind, than others, is Luffy's free-will and overall happy spirit. He is not afraid to tell the truth, even in life or death situations, which has caused some funny incidents, nor is he afraid to tell people that they suck and/or kick them square in the nuts. These humours outbursts happen often and attract me to keep watching.
I would say, with the humour and action, this is a very attracting anime. Definitely give it a try, you'll get addicted. I watch it more often than Naruto.
it sure is in anime marathon proportions now
go euro!
