One Piece: Season 1 - First Voyage (Uncut)

The action flows very smoothly and very quickly in this series, there are very few dull moments. What really makes this series work is that you care about the characters. Each of the key character has a full story behind them. You learn about their backgrounds, what motivates them, why they are the way they are. This is what separates a good series from a truly great one. You cheer them when they are victorious, you worry when they get hurt.Here are some of the key characters in the series. The main character, Luffy, is so carefree and happy it's funny. He lives for the moment. When he's hungry he looks for food and eats as much as he can. When he's tired he drops where he is and starts sleeping. He tries to befriend everyone and he continuously finds it hard to believe that anyone could be mad at him. He is unswervingly honest. In fact his directness and honesty gets him into quite a bit of trouble since he speaks his mind freely without a second thought as to how other people might take what he's saying. There are only two things that ever seem to genuinely disturb him. When anyone mocks his straw hat or tries to damage it, and when anyone hurts his friends. When that happens, you'd better run for cover. When he was a young child he accidentally consumed a strange fruit called the Devil Fruit that came from the mysterious Grand Line, as a result Luffy can stretch his body in a hundred different ways and knows how to use this strange power to very effectively deliver a beating to his enemies. The offset is, consuming the fruit has robbed him of his ability to swim or even to float when in the water, and this gets him into serious trouble many times. Luffy wants to be King of the Pirates, and while he's certainly got the free-wheeling spirit necessary, he doesn't really have the heart to be vicious cruel and brutal like a real pirate would be. His goal is to sail to the Grand Line and find the One Piece, the secret treasure of the former Pirate King known as Gold Roger.Roronoa Zoro ( Mostly called Zoro in the series ) is the first recruit Luffy gets as he starts to form his Pirate crew. Zoro is known as "The Pirate Hunter" and is a master swordsman. He carries three swords and knows how to use them all at the same time very effectively. His goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman, an oath he swore to accomplish, in memory of a young girl who was also a sword master. They had constantly challenged each other to sword contests as children and she had always won. Zoro was determined to keep training until he could beat her, and though they were bitter rivals they had a respectful friendship. Tragically she dies while Zoro is still very young and still training, and Zoro now carries her sword in her memory and uses it as one of his three swords whenever he fights.Usopp, who calls himself "Captian Usopp" , is Luffy's next recruit. A young man with long hair and an unusually long nose who is very good with his slingshot, which he uses with his own home made pellets filled with different substances to create different effects. He has a reputation as a prodigious liar, and he does lie frequently, but not very well. He's rather cowardly, and often runs from serious enemies. As such he's very good at running, and very good at sneak attacks. Though he has a cowardly streak in him, he usually overcomes it when his friends are in trouble and will stand up to villians when the others really need him. Basically a good hearted guy, Usopp keeps the crew amused with his wild stories and his silly antics.Sanji is next on board Luffy's crew. Sanji is an execllent chef and a very sharp dresser. Slender and blonde, always looking suave and well groomed, he typically has a small cigarette dangling from his lips. Aside from being a great chef he has incredibly powerful legs and can kick down walls and through steel doors. He was trained by a powerful former pirate captian named Zeff who saved Sanji's life when Sanji was just a young boy. Zeff, known as red-foot because of all the men he kicked to death, is likely from whom Sanji learned his kick tecnhiques. Sanji is seeking the "All Blue", a legendary place where the four oceans of the world meet and fish from all the oceans are available at one spot for catching. A chef's dream place. Sanji is in love with Nami, but Nami doesn't feel the same about Sanji and constantly fights off his romantic advances.Nami is the next recruit. She is a master navigator and map maker. Her skills are unrivaled at steering on the sea. She was a captive slave of the vicious pirates known as the Arlong Pirates, half-fish and half-men, they took over her village when she was young and the fish-man pirate leader, Arlong, made a bargain with her that he would set her and her village free if she could gather one hundred million berries. ( berries... the form of currency in the world of One Piece ). Meanwhile they held her captive at their compound , forcing her to use her skills at map making to set up their own exploitation of the seaboard. It took eight years but Nami finally had colleted almost all of the ransom, by stealing treasure from other pirates. But Arlong cheated her, and in a deal with a corrupt marine commander had her secret stash of treasure confiscated. Leaving her with no way to pay the ransom. Luffy , learning of her struggle, invaded Arlong's compound and fought him on behalf of Nami, and Nami agreed to join his crew after that.There is a lot humor , some touching sentimental moments, and some VERY weird battles and insane characters they encounter along the way. It's really the intense characters and bizarre battles that make this series stand out. I can't think of anything else that compares to it. Once you start watching, you will definitely be hooked on it. The DVD's worked perfectly, great video and audio. Also, a great feature included on the DVD's in this series is the option for "Marathon" Play. That allows you to watch all the episodes on the disk, in a row, without having to watch the opening and closing song segment and credits every time. While there are some violent fights and some drinking/smoking that goes on, I'd rate it a PG level.- Mike S.

好きなキャラが出てたしいつでも見れることが嬉しいです。

The wonderful life of One Piece has brought :)One Piece is classed as the best Anime of all time! (In my opinion)Funimation are doing a brilliant job of doing this. The DVD contains 1-13 uncut and unedited episodes. It may be Region 1 which means I cannot play it on a DVD in Britain BUT!! Thanks to my PS3 I can XDAnyway, also the DVD includes Japanese voices with English subtitles? FANTASTIC!! That's the main reason I buy the One Piece DVDS. I love the Japanese voices as the English are always a disappointment.Hooray for uncut and unedited episodes & for Japanese voices & English subtitles :)Definetly worth buying and I know I'll be buying the other DVD's as-well ^_^

良い

When i first started watching One Piece, i watched the 4KIDS version on CN (boo hiss) lol.But since i've bought the Funimation dvd version of One Piece, i now realise that my mind had been brainwashed with the 4KIDS edited crud, anyone who is planning on buying the edited version..STOP!! buy the unedited, you won't regret it.Alot more fighting, blood, swearing and the stories in the episodes make ALOT more sense :Di give this 5/5, go buy it One Piece fans

とても綺麗な状態でとても良かったです。映画もとても面白かったでした。
