When One Piece is over it will probable be known as the greatest shonen- battle anime of all time.

One Piece, an adventure following the main character Monkey D. Luffys journey on becoming the pirate king, who has sailed all over Grand Line. During the journey he finds new crewmates, each with a different charcter and goal. The difference with One Piece and other animes is how each crewmate gets his
?her own backstory, making them so much more lovable, and you relate to them much more than you rodinary would. Despite the harsh jokes, and malignanat behaviour towards each other, they are bonded with the bonds ... of nakama that can not be cut. With One Piece you follow a journey where you probably will cry, laugh, and scream with excitment over the epic battles, intense arcs and great plotting.

One thing with One Piece is that there are so many character outside the strawhats, each with their unike abilitiy and character design that you just love. Even thou you barely se them you cling to them, wondering what they will do next. Shanks, Ace Whitebeard, Mihawk, Law and many others. One Piece is perefectly organized, you wont find a single plot-hole, and the story is filled with mysteries. The story line is impregnible, and the story line can not be compared with other shonen-battle animes, that are great, but nowhere nere the level of One Piece Greatness.
The only flaw is that it sometimes can be slow paced, but considering the amount of episode, it wont affect the greatness of the story.

NO SPOILER!!!

The first word that comes to mind when I think about Hunter x Hunter is undoubtedly: VARIETY. With everything from insane, heart-raising action to comedy so ridiculous that I laugh alone in my room on numerous occasions; Hunter x Hunter is an anime that quickly shot to my number 1 favorite and only secures it's place more determinedly with every episode.

At this point, although still ongoing, I'm roughly halfway through HxH and I've loved every single minute of it. That's because in this show, every minute matters. You can't look away without missing something crucial, hilarious or just generally entertaining. I was a late ... comer to the HxH bandwagon and after around 10 episodes, I was sorely angered with myself for leaving it this late. All I can say now is thank heavens I finally gave this anime a shot. NEWCOMERS. DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY THE LENGTH. WHEN YOU START WATCHING; IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER ANYMORE. Where I first found myself concerned as to whether I'd have the time or motivation to catch up with this anime, I now find myself worried about catching up and having to wait a week for each episode! And man, do those episodes fly by. The best anime are the ones that make it impossible to say 'okay, that's enough for now'.

The array of interesting and unique characters is what really makes this series. HxH is not afraid to go with the cliche, make fun of the cliche, experiment with the dark and creepy, the light and fluffy, and everything in between. With 2 adorable yet terrifyingly powerful protagonists and their ever-changing company, you're guaranteed to come across multiple characters that you love, hate or just plain can't get your head around. But even without the constantly growing cast, Gon and Killua really do make this a special anime. Watching the two grow (albeit quite quickly with the pace of the anime) and experiencing all the WONDERS OF FRIENDSHIP AND SELF DISCOVERY is easily the main reason for my love of this anime. Not forgetting, of course, creepy-ass perv Hisoka on the side is just the cherry on the cake.

Overall this anime is just plain fun. It's addictive, interesting, varied and entertaining in every sense of the word. It really is an anime that has something for everyone. WATCH IT.

Hajime no ippo is a sports shounen show, more specifically a show about professional boxing in Japan. The story revolves around a young man named Ippo, who starts off as an extremely weak person (bullied at school), only to be drawn to how strong and impressive the world of boxing is. Desiring a change in himself and wanting to become as strong as the boxers he admires, Ippo steps into the world of boxing, and gradually proceeds to become one of the most talented and fearsome boxers in the professional boxing circuit of Japan.

Hajime no ippo is most definitely a shounen show at heart, but ... simply throwing the series in that particular category is a disservice to its magnificence. The series could easily double as a slice of life, a romance comedy, a general comedy series and a full on battle shounen series. Unlike most shounen sports shows, Hajime no Ippo rides closer to the more mainstream side of things simply because of the nature of the sport it highlights, making it a great introduction to the world of sports anime.

One of the highlights of the series, is definitely the aspect of its story’s unpredictability and high stakes. Very few shounen series can truly make viewers feel a sense of impending danger for their characters. All the matches, battles and even minor slice of life events in the series serve to surprise, amaze and excite. With all these glorious elements packaged in, Hajime no Ippo provides an almost complete story arc. The series chronicles Ippo’s entrance into the world of boxing all the way to a rather significant event in his career. There are very few series in the anime industry that are this good, and that end on a satisfying note while still leaving more further development.

One of the absoukute best animes I have ever seen. If you are looking for an anime with so much tension and building emotions that you end up cheering and screaming while watching it, here it is.
