| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well, at least the show's kicking off of the surface a bit. These early episodes aren't very popular huh? |
 |
| It's decided. I love this anime. |

| Wow, the music is outstanding :o Another great episode. I only planned on watching a couple of episodes here and there, but...that might not happen XD |
| Zoro is kakkoiiii. ^__^ |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| This was a nice episode, luffy finally gets his first crew member Zoro and sets out to the wide open sea on his first adventure. |

| okay episode, I liked it better than the last two. Damn, he didn't shoot Coby, but I'm glad that he's not apart of the crew. I like Zorro, nice to have an original bad ass on the crew. IMO the music was cheesy, but nostalgic. Yay, no more Coby! I'm trying to watch every episode in order, hopefully they get better, I'm looking forward to more Zorro and Luffy. |

| Hmm it does seem like this episode is the one where the story begins to pick off. The last 3 minutes, with the scenes in the harbour and on the boat + the music playing in the background was wonderful, it really feels like the start of a big adventure. I think I'll have to watch a few more now, tis a very good episode. 4/5 |
 |
| Really good episode, I like this anime :) |
| First 3 eps were okay, I can see some potential, though. |

Arnardi said: I do not see the hype; this is just so crap You know, those episodes are from 1999. If your problem is overall quality, you gotta get into it. Unless you are watching the 4kids dub. If you are, forget everything you saw and either watch the funimation dub, or just watch it subbed |
| nice nice ^^ |
| Awesome episode c: |
 |
| All the characters so far are super nice. I like that kind of relationship between Coby and Luffy, two friends on opposing sides. ^ ________________________ ^ |
 |
| Seens like this show moves a little slow in the early stages but I'm starting to like it. Good episode. |

|
| Nice episode. |
 |
| Mostly straightforward, though I do like how strongly the divide between pirates and marines is portrayed. I like all of the scenes of the orange haired girl in these episodes. |
| Oh the anime is fun even though it's so old, I actually expected less and it didn't disappoint. I was planning on skipping most of the episodes but I think I'll just watch all of them. |

| WTF why would they throw up there weapons? that dangerous man. I wonder how is zoro talking with a sword in his mouth? I remember in the manga the author joked about his spirit or something being so powerful |
| Oooh not bad. It's picking up. I shouldn't have judged One Piece so quickly. |
| only 727 episodes to go. |

| Episode 3: Luffy is officially a pirate with his new companion Roronoa Zoro :3 The path of Pirate King starts now ;3 |
"No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| Episode 3: Morgan vs Luffy! Who's the Mysterious Young Lady? Zorro finally decide to become a Nakama (friend) of Luffy to start this journey to be the PK and the best Swordman, we get some explain of the devil fruit of Luffy the Gomu Gomu no Mi, a Rubber man. and by the end of the episode Luffy part ways with Coby in an emotional moment in which Luffy sacrifice his hero status for a villain one in order to help Coby enlist the marines. Next Episode: More of the "Mysterious Young Lady" and his name for a change? |

Did you stop or take a break from Anime (One Piece) that you haven't watched any more or did you get tired of One Piece length lol? :3 |
| "No matter what painful things happens, even when it looks like you'll lose... when no one else in the world believes in you... when you don't even believe in yourself... I will believe in you!" |
| Gotta love Nami and gotta fucking hate Captain Morgan |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I'm never a fan of making antagonist's 1D and overly gross, but I really enjoy the cast and the world so far. I'm getting vibes this may be like Dragon Ball, except much more focused and if that is the case that's awesome. Dragon Ball's biggest flaw was its lack of direction. Not to forget, Luffy is so reminiscent of Goku it's not even funny, only difference is he seems happy ALL the time instead of most of the time, and he is more driven by a goal than Goku. But enough comparisons, I love Zoro, his introduction was great. Husbando tier already. You can tell Zoro respects Luffy's philosophy towards life, and I'm sure he can relate to living a life for a promise made in the past. Also it's good sign that the anime is already pursuing moral ambiguity with a major theme of this episode being not all navy soldiers are good, not all pirates are bad, and the end them coming together to accept each other and their place in the world. The moment where Luffy was beating the dudes face in without realizing butt chin took Coby hostage was hilarious and again was Goku-esque. And the conversation between Zoro and Luffy about how many crew mates he has, and where his pirate ship was made me laugh really hard as well. Lastly, I want to do an episode 3 prediction: The one piece will be nothing, as the real treasure was the friends and the journey you had on the way, that's the real treasure of a pirate! |
| The villagers might not have realised, but the Marines actually were being kind to Luffy and Zoro, they let them go after all even though they were pirates. Bye bye Coby, I'm sure we'll meet again in the future! |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| well, so far it's pretty nice. |
 |
| It just took barely half an episode for them to overwhelm Morgan and his crew and Zoro became awfully chummy with Luffy once he saw his overwhelming power~ Wielding his three swords like that was awesome! It's daring to go for the biggest goal without having anything with you in the first place but it has managed to work for Luffy with Zoro so there's no reason to back down. He even helped Coby realize his dream but those Marines were just putting on a tough face for the law so seeing them salute the two as they go makes me feel relieved that he's in good hands. Loli Rika will be missed too. I wonder where they'll get the Going Merry though~ |
 |
| This is where the real adventure starts I guess, it was good |
 |
| Was kind of hoping for Kobi to go with them.. he's whiny but would have been an interesting character to have in the crew. Also the last person you would expect to be an actual pirate xD |
| Good episode. I love Zoro's three swords, so awesome in the manga as well. I might be biased because I very much like swords. |
 |
| Devil fruit, cool. Zoro is awesome. I'm glad he'll stick around. Good for Colby! *me knowing full well there are over 900 episodes and yet theorizing what the One Piece is* ugh. |
