One Piece

Postby Shao Feng-Li » Sat Nov 08, 2003 7:23 pm

Can some one tell me about One Piece? I read it on the monthly Shonen Jump and loved it!
I want to know about the Bad pionts, like what ages it should be rated... Tobacco, alchohol and violence aren't an issue with me, and language and *bad* situations, if you know what I mean

Zero suggestive themes. Occasional bad language as in 90% of all action shonen manga.

Um....

I think that's about it ^^;;; It's mostly violence, minor cursing, devil fruit ingestion, dramatic scenes (as in heartwrenching and occasionally shocking as it will be revealed later when Sanji appears)--and that's about it. If insane character designs won't scare you off then I don't recall anything wrong up to the 24th volume that might be very bad for you.

That's me though, and I might a different grasp of things--I guess you could just go to anipike.com or somewhere to get a full review :D

I love the One Piece manga and the anime. :thumb: They have some of the best developed characters, with good moral issues of friendship and loyalty. I'm in agreement with PsychoAnn as to how much language is in it. It's never suggestive or nasty. It's shonen. I let my 11-year-old read it, if that helps. And she's still a sweetheart. ;)

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

The manga rocks but I haven't watched the anime yet. Only concern is devil fruits... a bit of a scary name, but don't be scared away from it if you are a Christian but apparently the fruits are just special fruits that give you powers but make you unable to swim.

I enjoyed One Piece, though I'm not big on the character designs. I'd agree with what has been said previous about various questionable themes. The anime, at least, gets overextended later on (a la DBZ).

If someone told you it was totally innocent, that wouldn't be quite right. Then again, perhaps you use the term more generally than I do.

I think the violence would put it in the PG-13 category. Probably R if it was a movie, but the movie industry is crazy.

You can order graphic novels from the shonenjump website, I'm relatively sure. I'm not certain, however, if it's a better deal than purchasing them from a store (if you have to go far enough, however, the shipping and handling might be balanced by gas money and time).

Hope you find it! It's a great series, especially once most of the crew is together. ^__^
