One Piece (of Shit) is a series about pirates created by Oda, who came up with the idea after reading his favorite Dragonball hentai doujins. Despite this, there is a significant lack of theft, pillaging, rape, wooden limbs, pirates, sodomy or mass executions, which automatically makes it shit. Instead, a roaming crew of do-gooder clichés travel the high seas whilst performing every power-up short of a Super Saiyan or actually crapping themselves in the attempt.
Predictably, each crewmate has a dream (alongside a TRAJIC PAST) which they feel they need to achieve but won't, as Oda knows a cash cow when he sees one and will stretch out the series until he dies of heart failure or is knife-raped in the butt by a pissed fanboy. As a result of this, One Piece could be perceived as a comment on the pseudo-limbo we find ourselves residing in: always wanting something just out of reach and living lives blighted with disappointment. Alternatively, it could be perceived as a money-making behemoth and easy TV which teeters on the verge of being universally slated as bullshit by having a relatively badass moment every 70 episodes or so.
One Piece is immensely popular despite having the worst character designs in history, features countless scenes of characters sobbing like bitches, and will be 1/16th away from completion upon its 40,036th episode, to the point hopefully no one will care, since Eiichiro Oda, who unlike Masashi Kishimoto has no idea when to end his shitty series. It should be noted that his show's content is not appropriate for anyone above the age of 10.
