That was freaking incredible. Holy crap. Still, some parts I feel that it messed up a little bit on was the logic in the plot. Like, I don't get exactly the rules of how or why... I'll just say, the "supernatural", to try not to spoil this, worked. Like why did the supernatural happen? How does the supernatural even work? What ramifications are there, exactly, to the supernatural, cause it feels kinda random in how it works and how it connects people. Beyond that though, the drama in this was greatly done. It really made me care, and the art was incredible, the music was ... amazing and the characters were rather well designed in their distinct personalities and looks. And despite me feeling confused and puzzled about how exactly the supernatural elements worked, it still felt like a very compelling plot with nice characters. I almost could consider this a masterpiece

This is an edit of my original. Formerly, I basically said, 'One Piece is great in storytelling and a tearjerker. It's characters are well written, it's stories feel masterclass in their telling, while being tearjerkers a decent number of times, it's art is creative to say the least and I like how well it seems to catch the spirit of a great pirate era while even throwing in real pirate facts and trivia into it's plot, machinery, vehicles and characters in the world, making it blend in even more to what you could assume the vibe of a pirate era world would be'. I still ... stand by that belief. I just re-wrote this review to shorten the length, while adding a few details. To continue though...

It's actually kinda exceptional. Still, I feel we shouldn't dismiss the negative, despite how big the positive may be. This show still had kinda slow animation until it got to the timeskip part. The Straw Hat Crew (main characters) seem to grow as characters, but I believe they mainly grow in how well bonded they become to each other and in physical strength, but they still keep their weaknesses like cowardice, stupidity, being horrible at directions, being overly attached to saving money and perverseness, although maybe those weaknesses could be forgiven due to it being apart of the comedy, but I still wanted to mention it. There's also this being over 1000 episodes, not like a story needs to be limited if it's written well, but I mention this, cause it can be hard for one to keep up with watching this and it should be understood why someone would refuse watching this show in the first place, it can be time-consuming and difficult to take on watching every single episode, but 'some' audience members who recommend this to others are too hardheaded to understand that. There's also characters in this show that get so much damage done to them that I feel they should definitely have died, even for anime standards, but those characters somehow survive anyway. And a few times plots can feel like they drag on, ESPECIALLY with the amount of still shots and flashback scenes thrown into an episode, it can be ridiculous at times.

Despite the negatives though, I both do and don't feel like recommending this show. It can be a nice watch at times, but holy crap it has a lot of episodes, fillers, still shots, flashbacks, then there's also the movies to consider, someone's taste in the art style (Cause I won't lie, the art style turned me away for some years before I actually started watching it) and sometimes the plot can just be summed down to The Straw Hats (main characters) going to a random island and spending their time getting lost, then trying to find eachother again.

If anything, I'd say give it a try, BUT only if you feel you are willing to go through the challenge of 1000 episodes. Because, despite how good this show can be, I've just gotten into the Dressrosa Arc ending, which is 700+ episodes in. But I feel I've kinda only gotten into it, cause I'm generally a stubbornly determined individual. I feel if I wasn't like that, then I might not have gotten this far.

So, in other words, if you feel you're hardheaded/stubborn enough to attempt to go through 1000 episodes, then give it a try.

And for those who recommend this and basically say, "1000 episodes is nothing", you're a delusional piece of work. Anyway, that's my take for now.

I think this is a rather excellent anime. The characters acted pretty nicely and seemed well designed, based off of their source material, as they seem like the type of people you would assume would be in the Cyberpunk 2077 world. I like how well the characters look, vibe and generally act in their personalities. Then there's art that fits well to the world and pops out nicely in colour and style. The music pops well in it's own style too, and can seem rather inventive at times. Even if some of the music is taken from the game, the music that was chosen was ... generally nice and executed at nice times too. And the whole way they showed off the anime, you could get a vibe of what the city was like, even if some scenes seemed exaggerated, like someone barfing outside an apartment or some characters acting abit overhyped up, it still didn't seem too far of a reach of what the Cyberpunk 2077 world's people and vibe would be like. As for the story, I'm going to try not to spoil it. I'm just gonna say I think it was excellently done too, and showed some decent realism and nice characterization, as it made me feel real invested and care what would happen next. I think it was all generally done greatly, I just wish it was paced a tiny bit longer to get you to get abit more use to the characters, and I wish they didn't include one part, that kinda acted like a spoiler, but I think the anime was still rather excellently done, so 9/10

Honestly, personally to me, besides the censorship of blood in the first few episodes, this is, overall, an alright season. I watched the last seasons and they were pretty alright with animation style, story, characters and even music, then this comes along.

And, in this season, I felt the characters acted alright and natural to their environment and how they usually act, the story went well with some tear jerking backstories and interesting twists, and although it could be abit overwhelming at times from the twists, and, again, as much as art was off or censorship was there, censorship happened a few times in the beginning ... of the series and the art generally holds up to a mid-tier level, which still lead the series to be enjoyable for me. I think this season at least deserves a 5 or 6 (including taking off a point for the censorship), for how I think the story, characters, art and the general entertainment of this season is. I don't know how exactly anyone could skip all that and write it off mainly for art quality or censorship.

Either way, I think there's a nice season here. Yes, it can use abit of art improvement, but I think everything else still holds well on it's own and the art is okay enough quality for me.

Amazing and engaging. It's a story of a teenager named Lelouch who lives in a world (Earth) split into three separate factions (territories, governments, cultures). The factions are Britannia, the Chinese Federation and the European Union. To cut it short, Lelouch is the son and missing prince to the king of Britannia who took over Japan and demoralized the Japanese to where they'd be treated like crap and be preferred to as "11s" for the area they were forced to live in. Fortunatly, Lelouch changes the luck of the Japanese by putting his own goal forward to take down his father. I won't explain anything ... further in possible spoiler.

The reason I loved this series was because it reminded me of Death note in a way, where Lelouch had to use forms of strategy in order to keep his identity of being prince secret, It had good characters of which none I felt bored with (except Nina), awesome flying mech battles and it was animated by the same people who created Tsubasa and Holic.

I'd give this ten out of ten, but I don't feel complete like it's the "ten" I'm personally looking for, so that's why I gave it an overall 9/10.
