I like One Piece and I really like Naruto. Why didn't you like Naruto? Good to see that you like Bakuman though. That's a a great anime. I still need to watch the third series.

I'm still not terribly far, but I really enjoy it so far, and more than excited to keep going through it thanks to the character development, some friends IRL and online, and some reviews I've read.

@TheStyleWithin, have you tried stuff like Rurouni Kenshin, InuYasha, or Yu Yu Hakusho?
Yes I have and I like those! But I don't think I tried Yu Yu Hakosho yet but I heard its good!

I don't think Brotherhood is that gory so much as its bloody. There's a big difference there. Blood you should be familiar with the first time you scraped your knee when you were two. Gore, on the other hand - detailed views of a person's insides, for instance, is much more difficult to stomach, and understandably so. You can survive a little blood loss - you learned that when you were two, when your mama put a band-aid on your scrape and you felt better soon after. Gore implies severe, possibly irrepairable damage to a person's body. Now that is definitely something to fear.

It's not concerned with being a "Great" pirate show in the traditional "western" sense, it's a comedy/action/drama that draws you into the fictional world it creates and makes you care about the characters. It's not going for a realistic representation of pirates and the era at ALL but it doesn't have to.
How far in are you with One Piece? Because that is a surprisingly accurate description. Also, I feel the story becomes really interesting and epic once you get pretty far in, but that's thanks in large part to how much you'll care about the characters by then.
I'm not far at all to be honest I didn't even give One Piece a chance! I saw the preview it looked like battle manga with an average kid who dreams of becoming a pirate and u hear this deep voice saying I left it all in one piece. I felt like seriously! A pirate anime! This has got too be stupid!

Cause the manga is? If you're seriously off-put by the violence, you should know it escalates as the series goes further.
Don't worry I'm not put off by the violence I dig that I just didn't see how pirates relate to anime.

Wait a minute...YOU JUST SAID YOU HATE ONE PIECE JUST BY LOOKING AT THE PREVIEW?
Yes unlike most people I actually have a gift which has been tested in the past for example I will look at a movie preview and decide I already know its crap. But then I would have friends who are extremely excited about it. Then I see it with them then after the movie was over feeling like why did you put me through that you may not know this but give me a break! Couldn't you dissect the preview and guess how cheezy it would be throughout the entire movie?

TBH, At first I couldn't get into One Piece either (the art style was very off putting to me), but Toonami's going to start airing it this week, so I'm going to go ahead & give it a shot.
Only thing I'm worried about, is that they're starting over 200 episodes in...

apparently the earlier parts of the series are on Hulu for free. I'd watch it because it's awesome, and while there's certainly an over-all plot and development and whatever (particularly the longer the series goes on), the arcs tend to be really self-contained. Like it will take 4 or so months to get to the arc that is relevent and important, and even then you still have some time.
@thestylewithin
Seriously?
I seriously doubt that ability will work all the time, mind giving a few examples?
See this pic makes One Piece appeal to me even less! If this pic is from One Piece that is? I would Dragon Ball Z season 9 anyday!

Sorry guys it just doesn't appeal to me. It really looks like its representing the pirate era too much with a battle manga twist. I just don't like it. I felt like like Naruto was a knock off of Dragon Ball with kid Goku. So now u can see that I'm really conservative when it comes to anime.

They have up to 205 Dubbed on Hulu, which is what I recommend watching if you intend to watch it dubbed. Seeing as Davy Back is practically filler, if you're gonna watch, may as well do it while you still have a chance. Once they get to Episode 227, you'll be left behind.
