Three Strikes for One Piece
At least the English intro is bad enough to be good
I want to like everything I watch. You might not get that impression from all the bashing I do on this site, but really, I give every show a fair chance. In fact, I probably try a lot harder than you (otherwise I wouldn’t like Akikan or Queen’s Blade). I hate enough things in life; I feel no need to hate anything else. With that said, One Piece sucks.
There are several things I could complain about:
- Lousy talk/fight ratio
- Lousy flashblack/fight ratio
- Too many retarded enemies
- Zoro’s failure to fight anyone remotely interesting (except Mihawk, which was awesome)
- Luffy’s rubber powers somehow include increased hand-eye coordination
- Somebody’s always crying for some stupid reason (often a random kid thrown in for the sole purpose of giving the target audience someone they’re supposed to relate to, as if the scrawny, light-skinned, dark-haired protagonist wasn’t enough for Japanese kids)
But those are all relatively minor problems. Since dropping One Piece three years ago, I’ve leveled up like a Shonen hero, watching shitty anime like Lucky Star and K-ON until I developed a tolerance for low-grade bullshit. If I could finish all those crappy shows, wouldn’t watching One Piece be a piece of cake? Not at all. I was arrogant to think I could stomach the idiocy of Monkey D. Luffy for a third time.
Oddly, One Piece sucks for the exact same reason Kure-nai sucks. I can enjoy a light & fluffy anime. I’m fine with a dramatic anime. I’m perfectly willing to accept both in the same show (e.g., Higurashi). Unfortunately, unlike good shows, Kure-nai and One Piece can’t reconcile the fluff with the serious stuff.
In every arc, Luffy is guaranteed to do something utterly retarded that directly jeopardizes the well-being of those he supposedly cares about. Then he’ll invariably spout a few tear-jerking lines about fighting with everything he’s got to protect them. Sorry Luffy, fuck you. Where were your themes of friendship when you:
- Got hypnotized as Usopp repeatedly yelled at you not to stare at the guy who was obviously trying to hypnotize you
- Embedded your feet in concrete, thereby rendering yourself helpless in battle and allowing yourself to be conveniently sunk to the bottom of the ocean
- Got stuck between two walls for a week when all it took to break free was a little willpower
Why can’t Monkey D. Luffy be more like Gon Freecs?
The similarities are subtle, but many:
- They both have stupid names
- Their character designs are both meant to appeal to Japanese kids
- They were both ditched by their father figures
- They’re both persistent about picking allies to the point of stalking them
- They both have an unquenchable thirst for fun and adventure
There’s one key difference: even though they both love the screw around, Gon doesn’t do it when it’s clearly a dumb idea that contradicts everything he believes in. Lucky Star and K-ON taught me how to tolerate bullshit. They didn’t teach me how to tolerate hypocrisy.
In all fairness, Luffy does a few things right. He’s got some sick moves when he’s fighting seriously. His destruction of Nami’s map room was reminiscent of Onizuka’s sledgehammer scene. He also…give me a minute…oh well, I guess those are the only remotely nice things I have to say about Luffy. What a shitty character.
Conclusion: I can’t put up with Luffy’s stupidity for 400+ episodes.

I find it very disturbing that whenever people cry in this show, its that really sloppy crying – snot streaming out of the nose, eyes bursting out rivers, etc. I mean, seriously, folks, this is anime, I want it to look good.

Tried watching it years ago, I couldn’t get into it. Yeah I couldn’t get behind Luffy either, that’s got to have something to do with it. I wouldn’t want to watch all those episodes just to validate my dislike for something. But I wouldn’t justifiably be able to say it’s shitty either.

Luffy is one of my alltime favorite anime characters, and I think that it’s silly to call him a hypocrite when he’s just an idiot. That’s like giving too much meaning to a stupid kids show. If you want to hate those elements, hate them for being stupid kids show elements, not hypocracy.

I’ve been reading the manga as of late and I must say Luffy isn’t really stupid as much as he is reckless. Certain moments of dumbassery would take huge balls of steel for anyone to attempt like taking on Enies Lobby and its over 9,000 troops headfirst, go to the impenetrable prison of Impel Down alone and erm… You have a point, I don’t really like Luffy all that much. The more notable characters of the series make the show awesome like Bartholomew Kuma who literally disbanded the Strawhats effortlessly and Franky who’s arguably the manliest main character of Onepiece albeit being a cyborg.
Honestly the best moment Luffy ever had was to tell his crewmates to run away from their enemies. Boy’s not as stupid as to send his friends to death against someone who IS lasers.

What’s with the author’s bizarre fixation upon cartoony, idiotic/ugly looking characters with no appeal?
By drawing every newly introduced character like that, he’s basically resigning them to always and forever be useless pieces of shit, doomed to a short, gimmicky life. Eventually, with that kind of shitty treatment, the reader begins picking out who’s really important to the plot by which bad dudes look kind of serious, and if not, appears dangerous if dropped on one’s foot.
To hell with that. That’s telling the audience what to think. Nobody appreciates being bossed around by a damned kid’s show (Nobody who matters, anyways.)
Maybe these eyes are too discriminating. They immediately began protesting at the horrendously off-model characters in Higurashi, and their judgment proved incorrect there.
However, that appears highly unlikely in this case.

I’ve always dreaded watching One Piece. It was an odd feeling, like an ulcer would appear if I did. After years of watching other anime I said, “Well darn, let’s watch One Piece.”
I am proud to say I got to around episode 250. Around cause I don’t want to go look and truly find out. After the first 10 episodes I created a strategy for One Piece, I understood how it would progress. Slow … very slow … retarded slow.
This is the strategy, follow it closely:
STRATEGY 1
1. Jump the 3+ minutes of bullshit introduction and see the first minute or two of an episode. If the story has moved a little, or if it resembles anything close to interesting anime, watch.
2. If the “1 or 2 minutes” of judgement don’t reveal anything interesting, jump to the MIDDLE of the episode, check if anything interesting has developed then.
3. If STILL the episode doesn’t have anything interesting. Jump to THE END of the episode, just before the bullshit closing credits that eat up another 3 minutes of a 25 minute episode and watch 1 or 2 minutes so you know more or less what is going on.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3.
I managed to see 250+ episodes in 2 days and, get this, I DID NOT MISS ANYTHING. That is just sad! How could I understand the gist of the plot from watching a MAX of 6 minutes per episode? Holy gods!
After episode 100, I followed THIS strategy:
1. Skip 5 episodes
2. Follow STRATEGY 1 STEPS.
3. Rince and repeat.
I guarantee, you will NOT miss anything but worthless fluff or a ridiculous battle with the Foxy Pirates, or the Priest of Balls up in Skypeia.
The only fights I enjoyed were the ones with Enel and Crocodile. Truly fearsome opponents that didn’t look completely ridiculous.
In conclusion, ONE PIECE SUCKS DUNKEY NUTS. It’s so bad so worthless so slow and so moronic, that I can’t recommend it to anyone.
Perhaps the Manga is better, but the anime is disgustingly bad.

As for me, I have two major compaints about One Piece:
1. I hate the animation. Stinks like shit.
2. Intolerable-retarded characters. Stinks like shit.
So it’s One Piece of shit.
Now I’m off to watch Black Lagoon– they’re kinda like pirates but 1000x better. Levi’s one of the few non-loli characters that got my dick up.
[Reply]
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:02 am
This ‘retarded’ thing always seems to be the most divisive element of One Piece, as if you’re looking for logic or explanation where there is none. You have to be a fairly passive viewer to get into it, I mean you’re complaining about things here I never even bothered to question; it’s supposed to be fun and weird and blood boiling, but if you’re not feeling that, I’m not surprised you dropped it.
It’s a shame because One Piece is probably my favourite anime bar none, but I often see people bomb out on it like this.

Isn’t One Piece a kid’s show? Like really, are you expecting much from a show that is targeted at 9 year olds?

@Epi: One Piece is targeted at the same audience as Naruto and Bleach. And I have love Naruto ( Bleach is a different story).
I can’t stand One Piece either and I’ve read the manga and seen the anime. Here are the reasons
1)Luffy is a terrible, terrible attempt at a Goku clone. To put it bluntly, he’s fucking retarded. Goku had a excuse for his stupidy and that’s because he practically had to raise himself in the woods so when he came out into the world he was oblivious to alot of stuff. Luffy grew up around people in civilization. 2)Zoro sucks too. The three sword style is stupid and yes he never gets any good fights. When he does, he gets his ass handed to him.
3)The villains are lame. I dropped the show after the fight with the guy who had giant um…cat claws with swords on the end? yea…
I will go out on a limb and say that I’ve always admired the art style though.

August 2nd, 2009 at 4:18 pm
@Day: Agreed, it’s unnecessarily ugly, but to me, ugly crying makes more sense than the moe crying I’m so used to seeing in anime.
@ghostlightning: You may want to keep watching until you can take a hard stance. Wouldn’t One Piece be an excellent show to like? 400+ episodes of something you like, imagine how awesome that would be.
@double, Asperger’s & Omisyth: If the manga is basically the same thing as the anime, no thanks. If Luffy is any less idiotic in the manga, I might give it a shot.
@Snark: Watching all that hyped up crap is the duty of blogger. Would you have watched K=ON if you weren’t a blogger? Neither would I.
@digitalboy: Fine, on behalf of all One Piece fans, you have chosen that Luffy is an idiot, not a hypocrite. From now on, you and all One Piece fans are estopped from ever asserting that Luffy’s actions are motivated by a shred of intelligence.
@Zantetsu: Real men wear speedos. End of story.
@LJ: Perhaps the artist has no talent. No, that would be too simple an explanation. Perhaps the artist is just lazy. Nobody can tell when ugly, unappealing characters are drawn incorrectly so he gets away with it.
@Miha: I don’t mind watching a crappy show for 13-26 episodes. Any more than that isn’t worth my time when there are so many non-crappy shows I haven’t seen. Like Gantz.
@Rakuen: Good call, perhaps it’s about time I watched Black Lagoon in all its non-pedophilic glory.
@bateszi: I haven’t committed to dropping yet. I think I’ll just be extremely selective about the episodes I watch. There’s a lot about the show that’s likeable. Unfortunately, the main character isn’t one of them.
@Epi: I’d agree with you, but many people in my general age group are of the opinion that One Piece is better than sex.
@thekungfukid: I kinda liked the claw-dude, mainly because he was the first boss in the show who wasn’t clearly retarded. Powers sucked though.

August 2nd, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Given how much random fighting bollocks I watch and enjoy, I can follow your opening paragraph. It would be great if I could obtain the kind of pure joy some people get from watching Luffy dick around. And, indeed, I agree that Gon, despite his rubbish design, is miles better. In particular, I like how Gon’s singlemindedness is shown as potentially terrifying and ruthless as well as being naive.
And I’m sure you’d like Black Lagoon, because it is fairly brilliant. Oh, and the first arc of season 2… should not be spoiled.
[Reply]
August 2nd, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Hmm, I don’t recall Gon ever stalking anyone to become friends. Probably one of the reasons why Gon also isn’t as bad is because he has Killua to smack him in the head whenever he’s being too retarded.
Oh and he probably makes One Piece ugly to make a point of some kinda. Down with Bishie characters or something.

“At least the English intro is bad enough to be good” What does that even mean?
I think the song is just bad. It’s kind of like Luffy. He can’t maintain a train of thought for long, perhaps to the point where he has ADD or ADHD, whichever is more appropriate. That song has a new tune every few seconds and sounds like a complete mishmash of jumbled ideas.

@Glo the Legend & coburn: Black Lagoon is now on the list, after Gantz.
@moridin84: Gon stalked Leorio early in the series. The kid has a great eye for talent…
@Laguna: 43 consecutive episodes of One Piece is more than enough to say I gave the show a fair chance. Bleach will never get a total bash-post like One Piece or Naruto. I prefer to tackle Bleach issues one at a time.
@jcpenguin: Take a line like “Yo-ho-ho took a bite of Gum-Gum!”. It is a terrible pun and therefore allowed to be amusing. Ok, the song sucks. Perhaps I’m just impressed with the Naruto version:
@Gunstray: That’s isn’t quite accurate. I dropped Naruto Filler a long time ago.
@Kyoin: Anyone’s a mediocre character compared to Luffy. What do you want me to do, compare him to Raki?
@Praz: Gotta gooooooooooo, gotta go gotta gooooooooooooo, uh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@thekungfukid & Ikki: Danbooru says it’s serving too many files. The kungfukid is right: I blew up the internet.
@Merk: Seeing total chaos develop from total tranquility is one of the beauties of Higurashi, though perhaps our disagreement has more to do with how the peaceful episodes were done than whether they were necessary/valuable.

Well,One piece is a pretty good anime.I just don’t like the crying scenes and Luffy being helpless for a period of time because of stupidity(feet embedded in a concrete by himself in Arlong arc). Crying scenes are the most stupid things in the anime,I mean, everybody can cry without a snot flowing in your nose.That’s disgusting.Even female characters are like that,for example,Nami.I think it’s a turn off for most of the viewers.

“can you explain me why One Piece is still rank number 1 in japan even you say it suck?” Well I don’t know, he’s maybe capable of having his own opinions. Seriously, that was a lame argument. Plus, a large portion of One Piece-viewers in Japan are probably children with lower expectaions. I don’t feel like writing anymore, but please do argument why YOU think it deserves a better review instead of throwing out some lame ass thing about rating.

This wasn’t really a good assessment of the series. You’re taking it too seriously when One Piece doesn’t take itself seriously. A lot of things Luffy does is for comedy. He’s still a capable captain and it doesn’t detract from the story.
When you truly cry, it’s nasty and ugly. Your eyes get puffy and red and you get snot all over the place. It’s not supposed to look cute.
One Piece is indeed made for children. However, it’s a series that even those who started reading it 10 years ago can still enjoy it.

You guys are blind. This guy presents clear evidence of how one piece sucks. If you need more
*You get powers from eating a fruit and then you cant swim. How the hell does that happen.
*Some characters are way too OPed(Overpowered. Like shanks, monkey D. Garp, Especially blackbeard.)
*Luffy tries to find a treasure. Yet hes constantly showing stupidity.
*The Grand Line makes no sense at all. Yes the place has One Piece. How the hell did people with wings and giant monsters get over there???
*The characters look like some kid drew them learning art classes.
*The plot is completely uninteresting and the ending is really predictable. Pirates trying to find a treasure?? Isn’t that a little cliche?
*All characters get equal screen time is obvious bullshit. THERES ONLY 8 STRAWHAT PIRATES. BLEACH theres over 30 MAIN PLOT SHIMIGAMI. In Naruto Theres over 30 MAIN PLOT NINJAS.
I can say way more about how one piece sucks but obviously one piece fans dont realize how stupid and overrated the anime is.

Most of what you said makes no sense and shows complete lack of understanding of what you’re trying to critique rather than individual taste.
You can accept a teenage boy having shinigami powers, a stuffed toy brought to life, a ninja boy with a demon sealed in him as a baby, chakra that gives people equally fantastic and impossible-in-reality abilities but you can’t accept a mythical fruit that gives people powers at a price? That is insane.
One Piece is set in a fantasy world, magic, fictional creatures and races make sense in the story if that is how it’s set up. Naruto and Bleach has it’s own share of fantastic beasts, races, and artifacts too. You don’t seem to have a problem wondering where the giant frogs, giant fox demon, and giant ghost monsters got to their respective setting (assuming my assumption from your nonsensical ravings in caps at the end comparing it to those two shows is correct). That basically boils down to you saying you hate it because it has fantasy elements that don’t exist in the real world. If you have a problem with that you should hate ALL stories with any fantasy elements, Bleach and Naruto included. It’s fiction, it’s only needs to make sense in context. You can make things up as long as you’re consistent and stick to the rules you set up.
How do those characters’ immense power worsen the story? Blackbeard’s powers has been a big driving force in the conflict and is building to something big in the story. The power of the Yonkou and the Navy higher-ups, which includes Shanks and Garp, is part of the dynamics of the main powers ruling the seas. And it’s just plain, shonen-style awesome. Having insanely strong characters are not inherently bad, it’s how the characters and their powers are handled. Great stories have been written featuring far more powerful characters.
What does having a dream have to do with intelligence? Your reasoning that because Luffy wants to find a treasure he can’t act stupid is poorly presented. I agree Luffy’s an idiot, but I don’t agree Luffy is completely dumb. The story shows there’s more to his character than that, he’s competent enough when it matters, but that’s a whole other debate.
Pirates wanting to find a treasure is the premise, not the entire plot, neither does that sum up what the whole story is about. Simple premises aren’t inherently bad, it’s what the writer does with it. Saying it’s dumb because it’s about pirates looking for a treasure is vague.
I can’t fully make sense of your last point. All characters get equal screen time? You mean the main characters? Yea, they do. Each crew member is treated with equal attention from Oda and contribute to the story. None are left to feel like a 3rd wheel. What does this have to do with the number of characters from other shows?
One Piece does have flaws, as someone who watches and reads it as much as me I’m quite familiar with them, your reasons though make no sense.

Your opinion of the show doesn’t sound objective, it seems like part of why you think it’s bad comes from your own annoyance at your brother taking up you computer time and making you watch to something you’re not interested in seeing. Centering the story on having dreams doesn’t make it simple-minded. You admitting that your idea of what makes something worth watching are boobs and lady curves doesn’t make your assessment very convincing. If anything, that combined with your childish anger at something backed by a vague understanding of it makes you look like a simpleton.

During the the end of my high school, the shonen-jump era came to play around 2001, and One Piece was mentioned around school, I checked it out the style was unique and the story was quite interesting, but during the course of it being shallow, boring, and a little over the top I couldn’t get into it. It really tries to differ itself from other japanese comics too hard. I questioned about the logic in the show but as usual, the “fans” act like royalty and hate it when people bring in logic to the anime. I kinda gave up on that and other japanese-driven enthuisastic mainstream media.

Wanna cry?
It really doesn´t matter if one person among the millions of anime fans doesn´t like One Piece. For your information, let me tell you some real facts:
- One Piece has sold more manga volumes than Naruto and Bleach together (Yeah, not even together they could match One piece).
- One Piece has the Guiness Record for the most selled graphic novel over the world (look for it)
- Japaneses (the only people whose opinion matters), thinks that One Piece is the most interesting animation in Japan, as said in Oricon interview.
- I think you can´t stand One Piece character design because you are looking for some animation with hot woman just to shake your dick… You need to learn to appreciate different styles, and One Piece is the most original of them, because is not the usual kid with big eyes and spiky hear that kills everyone.
- One Piece is pretty equal if we talk about comedy and seriousness. The fact that OP can’t reconcile the fluff with the serious stuff is a lie. Same thing with 75% of the shit you just posted.
Conclusion: One Piece is one of the best mangas in the history. It´s ok if you don´t like it, but keep that to yourself, because saying that it sucks is the most ignorant and most stupid thing ever.
Conclusion 2: You suck as a critic.
By the way, since there is always retarded people who answers posts like this one, then I decided to disappear from here. Anyways, I can´t reason with idiots, so why to stay?

-Quantity doesn’t always mean quality(Common sense…supposedly).
-Yes instead of big-boobed girls and spiky-haired big-eyed hero, we get big boobed girls with a straw-hat wearing hero with BIG eyes and a STUPID grin.

I came upon this today and I just wanted to say that most of you must be some closeminded individuals. One, I would like to point out that this is not a show for 9 year olds. I blame the stupid mother fucking dubs for that mistake. (I personally hate dubs) Ok now on to my list of reasons why One Piece is in fact awesome. If you guys don’t want to listen to me, fine. If I can deal with that shit in the real world, I can deal with it here.
-They have a lot of forms of idiocy in American shows today and you can’t stand Luffy?! WHAT ABOUT NARUTO?! I think he is the dumbest thing on the planet! (No offense to Naruto fans….) At least Luffy gets better over time and shows improvement in his fighting abilities!
-If you watched the dub NO WONDER!!!!!! Yea One Piece Dub sucks big time *sage nods*
-One Piece is a story about romance, not the lovey dovey kind but the one where you follow your dreams! If you think dreams are stupid, I can understand why you don’t like this anime too.
-If you think that you don’t like the sub or manga, I suggest you read some SBS. Not only will they make you laugh but maybe they could help you stay reading it through the supposed “idiocy” you guys claim it has.
-In truth, the One Piece world has a lot of “logic” if you ignore the powers and such. The only time I have to agree is when Zoro is fighting Mr. 1 in Alabastia arc. That was actually confusing on how Zoro was not sliced. Yet, most everything else are more metaphors than anything. How is it that Nami can beat Luffy up when no one else really can? “Answer: When the crew beats up on each other, it’s always in admonishment with a strong sense of purpose, which is why it works so well!! It works on his HEART!! I bet Nami is thinking, “It’s MY heart that hurts deep down!!” …right? I guess not.” Straight out of Oda. There are a few other instances where metaphor come into play and if you can distinguish between those and everything else, everything can be logically explained in a way.
- I would also like to add that most girls like guys with stupid grins. If we didn’t we would get raped all the time.
I would like to add that I didn’t necessarily respond to all of your comments here so like yea whatever. However I hope this would if anything convince most of you that has dropped the manga to start it again or something. If it doesn’t I guess I can deal with that. We can’t get angry for not liking the same foods so why do it for not liking the same shows. Same ideals apply, different taste buds different thought processes.

It looks like many of you haven’t gave the show an actual chance. And as said above, it’s probably because you watched the dubbed version, or possibly the 4kids version? Anyway, if you do, just watch the japanese version subbed. Ugh, I don’t even know why, it’s a million times better. So, towards all the people saying how ridiculous their devil fruit powers are.. Every show has a twist to it. I mean, can you really be a ninja? No. Can you have a special power from eating a fruit? No. It’s not a freaking reality show.
Yes, Luffy and part of his crew are idiots. And the stupid things they do and say that screw everything up is the comedy part of the show.
One Piece is actually not so much a kid’s show. There’s a 4kids version for kids. And some of the editing they do is really retarded. So if you’re watching that, it’s no wonder you don’t like it. Read the manga or as I said, watch the japanese one with subs.

@wolfy I’m agreeing with wolfy 100% most of you said you stopped at ep 30 HA thats nothing, that is absolute bullshit, you cant review a series of 400+ eps off of watching only around 1-40. It seriously gets better and better every episode. When he gathers the foundation of his crew i’d say after gaining chopper than the show gets amazing from there on out. Hell if you cant stand to watch the fucking eps, then you can watch the movies 8 and 9 which is a summary of two major arcs the arc about chopper and Alabasta (of course if you do that it’ll only give you a sliver at how amazing one piece is) holy fuck just the Enies lobby arc is freaken amazing. If you don’t like this show it comes down to the fact you didn’t give it a chance at all. And someone said something about “how can you get powers from a fruit/ where did the monsters come from” your a fucking retard its an anime do you really watch a anime and go “hmmm he just made a wish on dragon balls that shit is not real and therefore this show sucks” or another example”he just put his hands together made a clone of himself not buying it that shits gay”
All I can say is holy fuck people dont judge this show on the 1st 30eps. If you dont at least give this show a chance you’ll regret not watching this amazing series.

If U don’t Like One Piece, why do u fucking care about it then? I don’t care About Naruto, because I fuckin hate it! Even thought Luffy and the others can be stupid sometimes, I still love this show, it’s a part of my childhood (yeah, I started to watch One Piece Early..) And I can also say that the One Piece Manga is a year older than me, not many.. AND I’M SOON thirteen, think about that! the Naruto manga was drawed in 1997, BUT NOT MADE before 1998 or 1999.. But anyways; Naruto suck balls, it’s about a fuckin blone guy who has a ugly bestfriend and a pink freaking fangirl!! (and many others..) AND THE DRAWING SUCKS MORE THAN THE PLOT. The Manga is better, but it still suck.
Why OP is awesome;
-They are NOT overpowered like Naruto and Dragonball(Not that I hate DB) (even sometimes they are awesome overpowered..)
-The Plot has a meaning, and they are setting sail for the goal… (In Naruto they give up and start, and give up.. -.-)
-The drawings are really amazing, Oda-sensei did a good job on that one..
-Luffy are a awesome Main person, MUCH better than Naruto.

one piece fighting scenes are my nightmare. too messy, brainless , mugiwara crews always win with a plot shield. No tactical move no brain, just fist and stamina.
-The Plot has a meaning, and they are setting sail for the goal… (In Naruto they give up and start, and give up.. -.-)

ok, i agree, but looking at one piece with constructivism , this series is done. everything has been repeated in the same pattern. Just change the island and villain , again and again.
But I have to admit that the sub-plots about world gov and lost history are interesting.
-The drawings are really amazing, Oda-sensei did a good job on that one..

too messy. and too idiotic image.
-Luffy are a awesome Main person, MUCH better than Naruto.

ok, naruto is main my most hatred main charac in big 3, but it does not mean luffy is good.
Seriously, Luffy is totally annoying n failed rib-off main hero from goku.
His IQ is zero. too idiot to be adored, at least for me.

Yes, Naruto is “about a fuckin blone guy who has a ugly bestfriend and a pink freaking fangirl!!”
It’s about a “blone” guy.
A “blone” guy.
A “blone”. I can’t even. I’m dying over here.
Sorry, I just had to do that.
First of all, Sakura aka “pink freaking fangirl” what you mean is pink-HAIRED fangirl.She is only Sasuke’s fangirl. From the context of this sentence, you’re implying that she’s Naruto’s fangirl which is completely false. Okay, now for the actual reply.
-They are NOT overpowered like Naruto and Dragonball(Not that I hate DB) (even sometimes they are awesome overpowered..)
I agree on this one. Naruto feels too overpowered but so is One Piece. If you do recall, Luffy, Ace, and Sabo had insane strength for a whole bunch of little kids. They beat up a group of grown men who were ten times their size.
-The Plot has a meaning, and they are setting sail for the goal… (In Naruto they give up and start, and give up.. -.-)
So does Naruto. Naruto wants to become Hokage, Sasuke wants to “purify” his clan, and Jiraiya wants to bring peace to the ninja world. One of the main themes of Naruto is never give up. Yes, his goal of becoming Hokage is set aside for now but there’s a fucking war going on over there. I think it would be a good time to focus on the issues at hand rather than trying to become Hokage.
-The drawings are really amazing, Oda-sensei did a good job on that one..
…..Did you notice that Nami’s boobs have been getting bigger and bigger and her waist getting smaller and smaller as the series go on? She looks like she can snap in half anytime. She’s also been wearing less and less clothes as the series go on. The art style really irks me though. But each one is entitled to his own opinion.
-Luffy are a awesome Main person, MUCH better than Naruto.
I feel that Naruto is a better main character than Luffy. Luffy lacks in character development (yes, he grew after Ace died but it took his brother’s death to make him mature up and five hundred chapters). If you compare the Naruto that was at the beginning of the series to the Naruto that is now, he has grown up and matured A LOT. That moment where he met his father and mother once again, that was heartbreaking.

Since this has become already such a bid debate, I won’t say much, but I totally LOVE one piece!
I just wanted to share some surprising facts (that I found on mangafox)of the popularity of One Piece in Japan:

Hey Dude,
I can see where you are coming from for not liking One Piece, because you only watched probably the first 40 episodes. I’d just like to comment that it’s really sad that you gave up on it so early, because it really does get a lot better later, as many one piece fans will (sometimes over-zealously) attest to. The villains become a LOT more badass, and the story becomes a lot more epic than just “let’s look for treasure!”. The story literally evolves to one involving a global scale crisis.
If you’re concerned that Luffy will constantly be a retard if you continue watch it, then i will safely assure you that his one-mindedness eventually becomes a great addition to the crew’s battle prowess, instead of being a liability.
I think the difference in perception of One piece is not a cultural one (oh Japanese love this sort of stuff; no), but really a just a difference in opportunity. Because, when Japanese buy and read Weekly Shonen Jump, they are exposed to every single manga that is published in the book, whereas in every other country, you have to first buy/download the manga to be exposed to it. That’s why there are a lot more Japanese who love One Piece; because they are able to contrast and compare them. And with the recent development in the One Piece storyline, it is no wonder so many more Japs have converted to a One Piece fan.
