If you've ever wanted to watch a slapstick show about pirates whose cannon balls phase through ships instead of damaging them, who use anachronistic baseball metaphors, who wear anachronistic eyegear, oh and who are made out of extending Immovable Rods mistakenly referred to as "rubber," then One Piece is just the slapstick show for you!
In the fantastical world of One Piece, "pirate" is a broad term applied generally to anyone who desires to own things. Some of the pirates are in boats, but not all! Some of them are in barrels. Some of them have crews, but not all! Some of them are alone in their barrels. The category of pirate is further confused by some immmensely murky politics. (The navy captures pirates, but it also captures pirate hunters, whom pirates actually like and want to recruit, and, and, uh... I'm lost.)
Episode one of One Piece is serious fun, if you can get past the absurdity of the setting and aren't turned off by the extremes—extremely nonsensical character motion, extremely 80s music, extremely Naruto-sounding protagonist. Production quality is boringly middle of the road; not good, not bad.
