“Arittake no yume wo kaki atsume…Sagashi-mono wo sagashi ni yuku no sa”

So now i am officially hooked to this anime, 1 piece....at hindi lang ako..madami pa adik dito ngayon.lolz. It is an anime about a kid who wants to be the pirate king by finding the treasure of the old pirate king, the 1 piece..and also about how he meet and make friends or part of his pirate crew, the straw-hat crew along the way....and i should stop telling how the story is. For me, what so good about it is how it differs from other anime. It’s different cause its nothing similar to reality, comes from just pure imagination that just tickles the kid in all of us. And i think it’s good cause unlike any other animes about a ninja or some super kid detective or a basketball team or any sport… All the characters, setting and everything in it is not even trying to relate to anything that happens in real world...just how I think anime should be! Other old anime have been like that before, it’s really not the first one like that. Dragon ball Z have a human cat for president...and do I have to mention Voltes V and other gigantic robots?... The thing for this kind of anime, you can’t even try to criticize it that "it’s so unreal"...cause it’s really not. Unlike from others, for example... From the moment Kogure releases the ball, it took two freakin episodes just to show how loooong he remembers everything about how he and Akagi entered Shohoku up to that very ball game in that very moment while he is airborne for that shot!! Tindi talaga nun...lol! 1 piece is nothing but pure wild fun imaginative fiction. I bet anyone's imagination has happen to any scene in 1 piece....and of course we enjoy it! Anyone can also relate to any main characters between the childish humour of Ussopp...the sweetness and gullible chopper...the seriousness and loyalty of Zoro... Sanji's passion... Robin's mysteriousness and knowledge...Nami's being so madiskarte and being charismatic...up to Luffy’s leadership and his dedication to make his dream come true.

But if it there is something about 1 piece that is same to other anime… It is for me, the moral lesson. And that lesson is about valuing friendship. That no matter where they came from, how different they are to one another in personalities, opinions and how shitty the situation might end up for one or all of them.. No one will be left be behind...No one will get hurt and that the Friendship will last through distance and time...and maybe that much cliché-ish can happen only just in their world...hahaha! So far it has ten plus movies, 500 plus episodes and still far from over. It also made me write another blog entry. J But I know many out there just like me will still enjoy every moment and be carried away to this whole adventure up until the glorious end of story of the straw-hat pirates.
