Comments on: One Piece (surreally real?)

I think that is why One Piece is still #1 in my heart. One Piece has always had a slight gritty feeling to me (or maybe that was the bad English dubbing). I was like Selina above when I first watched it and dropped the story. It wasn’t until I watched a subbed version that I fell in love.

All that being said, Chapter 502 while shocking (and more graphic than I’d thought possible for a children’s story) at the same time wasn’t. It just seemed to be the nature progression to me, especially after Skypiea (people being oppressed by their ‘God’) and Ennis Lobby (a woman being oppressed by the World Government).

The One Piece series is amazing. When it first starred in USA on FoxBox I didn’t like it. I personally believe it’s cause the song was really weird in English and sorry to Americans, but Japanese sounds better; it’s more natural if you know what I mean. I also wanted to point out that in One Piece, it shows what the government wants you to know is not always right. It’s true in real life and in One Piece. If I were a normal citizen in the manga, I probably would have thought that Luffy’s crew were the evil and the World Government is good, but as we all know, it’s not necessarily true. I’m not saying that the government is bad and the pirates are good, I’m just saying there are some good pirates and some bad government people. The media and government basically twist all the good things that the pirates do. In my mind, its almost like brainwashing.

… Skypia was awesome, but I will accredit that mostly to Enel. He was awesome incarnate. Even though a lot of people consider Crocodile the most awesome one, tossing around a whole lot of sand isn’t as awesome as “EL TO-O-O-OR!”!(x100)

It’s hard to choose a favorite arc so far. From the first 250 episodes (I prefer watching the episodes, gives me more of the Japanese essence), it’s hard to say what is best. I think I might stick with Skypia, but could also be Alabasta (with glorious, glorious Mr.2 Bon Clay-sama!!!).

Oh, and yes: Us religious nuts do not feel the least offended, so apology is accepted.

Chapter 502 really took me by surprise, it was just so powerful, and I realized why One Piece is so far above any other drawn piece of story-telling. It was a bit of a shocker. Damn, I almost sound like a religious nut (no offense to the real religious nuts out there).

The Water 7 arc is truly amazing, but it just can’t compare to what comes next – the Enies Lobby arc. Atleast that’s my favourite, though I know a lot of people that prefer Water 7 if they were to choose.

I think you nailed it in those words right there, quality and fun.
