Have not seen a thread for this particular Japanese series yet so thought I would start one just for the fans.

Yeah One Piece is AWESOME!

I'll bite, but spoiler me no spoilers! I'm just creeping up to episode fifty or so, myself. Somewhat slowed by having to write my dissertation...

Im up to date with the anime but I havnt read any of the manga. Im gonna let this current arc finish then watch it since I prefer marathoning with one piece.

I'm thinking about watching the whole of the east blue arc again

You're in for sooooo much! Ignore dissertation, acquire one piece!

Easily my favourite weekly shounen jump manga series. I still remember reading the first chapter back in 97. Similarly, I've been following the anime adaptation since it started airing.

For those interested, I've written a review:

Interesting review. The manga has gotten better every chapter, this weeks chapter was very interesting with the crews abilities

This isn't overly important, but I'm just wondering (kind of a spoiler if you haven't seen episode 340ish)

Spoiler:

Show

In Enies Lobby one of Zoro's swords gets rusted/destroyed by a marine, and when he goes back to Water 7 he doesn't have the money to get it fixed, but they're now on the ghost island place and he has three swords...? Is it something that's explained in the manga but not the anime? Did he get it fixed and I just completely missed it?

I wanted to Google it but I didn't want to accidentally come across any spoilers

I was pretty sure he was only using two swords for the Ghost Island?
He kept the sheathe and hilt of the third with him; but doesn't actually draw it.. admittedly it's been a fair while since I watched said arc; so I may have that all completely cock-eyed.

Even though it really was not explained I assumed Zoro still kept the sword even though it was all rusted up. He only used two swords with his fight on Thriller bark though, just kept the third rusted sword carrying it around I guess.

I read this series every week. New chapter should be in out in a few hours time

Yep, scans are in and are just being translated and uploaded right now.

I know this thread's pretty dead, but I know no one who watches One Piece so: (spoiler for episode 482)

Spoiler:

Someone better ****ing destroy Akainu. Goddamnit. I seriously can't stop crying this is ridiculous. At the beginning of this whole Marineford arc I'd pretty much resigned myself to Ace dying, I didn't see how they could save him, and now I just feel completely crushed. Ugh.

[The Cornerstone]

I used to watch it when I was younger on Cartoon Network, I wanted to go from the start but there're just too much episodes to watch

[sassyboy]

I just started reading the manga 1 month ago and I absolutely fell in love with it!! ITS SOO GOOD. Is the anime good? well the manga is awesome..

[baggieboy78]

Started watching one piece in the summer of 2009 caught up easter 2011. Favourite arks have got to be Alabaster, skypia and CP9

[baggieboy78]

I Think lately it has been a bit slow but i think things are going to start to happen next episode at fishmen island. Also in Reply to Vin i also found it better Marathoning one piece

I LOVE the manga but don't really care much for the anime.

I guess so, maybe its just that I watched it after I had read the first couple hundred chapters, but it didn't really seem to "fit" the manga in the way I had imagined, especially with some of the character voices
