One Piece - Collection One

Case came a tiny bit damaged but overall a great set

I am in love with this show. Got the set years ago, and just got around to watching it. The show has a good mix of action, drama, dialogue, and humor. It's all weaved together masterfully by the screenwriters. The show holds your attention as one story arc spans across a few episodes, and generally ends on a cliffhanger or big reveal of some kind. This season naturally introduces Luffy (main protagonist) and his new comrades he meets along with the way. They form friendships along their journey in hopes of making it to the Grand Line where a famous pirate left his treasure. The voice acting is top notch, as it always is from Funimation. My only complaint is I wish this was in HD. Having this in blu-ray format is a must. I have been popping in the DVDs one after another. Definitely check this out. It is a must own show!

I've been seeing references to One Piece for years, so I got this mainly so I'd be able to appear competent in the next conversation where it turned up. The show was much better than I expected. For starters, the show is serialized, with many of the stories stretching out over several episodes. Next, the characterizations have a lot of life and quirkiness to the. Some have stereotypical aspects, with swordsman Roronoa Zoro as a strong hero type, Nami as a clever thief, and chef Sanji as a womanizer. But all have other aspects to their character, and the show devotes plenty of time to good character building. I particularly liked the story of Usopp the liar. His story starts in a "Boy Who Cried Wolf" fashion, with him screaming to villagers that pirates were about to attack. He's known as the village liar. His stories help to cheer up the girl Kaya, who has lost her parents. In the course of the 9 episode story, he's put into a deep "Cried Wolf" tragedy, where he knows the full horrible plot that is about to take place, but no-one will believe him. This story has the longest fight scene I've ever seen. There are plenty of comic aspects as well, such as Zoro's three-blades fighting style. Plenty of quirkiness, rather good stories, and excellent characterizations. No wonder so many people have mentioned it to me. There is a strong "just one more" feeling while watching these episodes. Recommended.

One Piece is a story of a boy called Monkey D. Luffy who wants to become King of the Pirates. He sets out to sea to gather a crew and make his dream come true. This is an ongoing manga/anime series with currently 753 chapters and 654 episodes. However the english dub is only available till episode 336 and till 348 will be available in September 2014. If you own the voyages DONT BUY THIS it's not worth it. But if you don't own the voyages then this is the set for you. This set contains episodes 1-26 i.e 26 episodes and is only for $15 but two voyages, season 1 voyage 1 and 2 make up the episodes in this collection and add upto a total cost of around $45 which is three times the cost. Collections vs Season sets Pros 1. They are dirt cheap 2. They contain twice as many episodes as the season sets 3. They have better packaging Cons 1. They are 97 episodes behind the season sets 2. The period between consecutive releases in the Collections is way longer than in the season sets. If you can't wait and year or two for the newest english dub releases than go ahead and buy the season sets but if your budget is limited and you don't mind staying 100 episodes behind the latest releases then buy the collections. THE COLLECTIONS ARE JUST TWO VOYAGE SETS COMBINED TOGETHER AND DO NOT CONTAIN ANY EXTRA CONTENT. (SPOILERS AHEAD) One Piece Collection 1 This set contains the Romance Dawn Arc - the beginning of One Piece. It's till the part where they reach Baratie. In terms of video quality this set is pretty good considering it is in 480p In terms of audio quality and dubbing funimation has done an excellent job. We get 3 audio options 1. English Dolby 5.1 surround 2. English Mono 3. Japanese Stereo This set is packaged beautifully although the discs have no disc art. One Piece DVDs to buy: 1. Collection 1-10 (Cost approx $170) 2. Seasons 1-5 (Cost approx $ 340 and around $260 for the same episodes as in the collections) Overall this was a satisfactory buy for me and I recommend any One Piece fan to buy this. (Provided you don't own the season sets)

Most Recent Review after watching Collections 1-5: Aside from the small glitch in 1 of the 4 DVDs in Collection 1. I have watched Collections 1-5, and am currently watching Collection 6. I'm really new to One Piece. I just became a fan maybe 4 months ago? It's March 2017 now. I've plowed through the Manga around the same time too. I'm currently on Manga 76 of the 80+ volumes. I've never watched the anime before and am enjoying the series and storylines not covered in the manga. I'm watching the movies as well. The series gets better with time and it's AWESOME to see the manga come to life on the screen. The dubbing for these collections is AWESOME. I feel spoiled that I don't even have to wait for episodes to come out. Once I catch up with the collections, I will pre-order the next one). The One Piece animation gets better with time... same for the storyline as well. Eiichiro Oda is a genius and I'm glad I took a chance and became a fan even late in the game. Initial Review from watching Collection 1 only: I recently became a One Piece Fan from the Manga so I wanted to watch the series as well. The look of the DVD is awesome. The quality is okay, not great. But, I wasn't expecting any amazing quality for the beginnings of the show. I took a star off because one of the episodes on the DVD freezes and then skips. I ended up catching this a little past the return/replace date because I don't have the time to binge watch and then catch it. Sucks that the Collection One has this problem in one of the discs because it made me wary about buying future collections. Luckily, I'm on the 3rd Collection now and so far no other flukes, but one of the discs for Collection 1.

In One Piece Collection One, Prepare to set sail for a grand adventure, that will make you cry and stand up and cheer. Monkey D. Luffy has a dream to find the legendary one piece and to become king of the pirates. First he has to find a ship and a crew to sail it.

You will see how luffy befriends the most unlikely crew and becomes the most legendary pirate of all time. Luffy will stop at nothing to help his friends out, even face the most feared pirates of all time. Because without your friends by your side it won't be much of a grand adventure.

Coming Soon-One Piece Collection Two Review

There are no words to describe this show except for Epic. At first I thought this show was going to be a silly kid's show with not the best animation style. After thinking this for many years, and mocking it for the always remembered 4kids version, I decided to take on the beast of an anime with 500+ episodes. Best decision I have ever made. It starts of really rocky at first, but once you reach Arlong park, the necessity to keep going urges you on. After entering the grand line the story just gets better and better. As the straw hat pirate's ship grows in experience and crew mates, my interest continues to grow. Once I reached Water 7 there was no going back. The story line that the author/mangaka, Eiichiro Oda, created is the most incredible tale I have ever heard. Not only does the world make you forget all about your own, but the story and characters make you want to leave reality and join the Mugiwara (strawhat) crew. No show or anime has ever made me feel this or at least to this extent. I have now rewatched the whole show two times all the way through and have dragged a lot of my friends into this addictive tale. They would have it no other way. Oda is a master at story telling to the point where I was crying with every character and even over the loss of a certain "nakama" I never thought I would cry over. The only other word is Brilliance. Sheer Brilliance. This show is my favorite anime of all time. I would say it is also in my favorite top 3 stories of all time, if not top 2. :) Thank you for your brilliance, Oda, and for caring about us over here, Funimation. :)

Kupiłem na promocji za 35 zł. Były to na tyle małe pieniądze że kupiłem w ciemno - i o dziwo produkt dotarł w pudełku prawie jak nowy-prawdopodobnie został drugi raz zafoliowany, aczkolwiek płytki działają bez (prawie) żadnych problemów. Dla kupujących takich jak ja z Polski zaznaczę że płyta jest w formacie NTSC, co w skrócie oznacza że odtwarzacze np z ps5 czy ps3 odmówią odtworzenia płyty (pokazują błąd o złym kodzie regionalnym). Pomimo tego normalnie płyta pójdzie na zwykłym odtwarzaczu DVD (w moim przypadku użyłem programu VLC) na komputerze.

Sehr schnelle Lieferung und Top DVDs! Gerne wieder 😍

DVD uniquement en anglais et japonais. Dommage!!

Finally One Piece has gotten its UK DVD Release. Manga UK did a great job releasing Dragonball Z and now it's time for another classic to get released! Firstly it's important to note that this UK Release is Region 2 and will definitely work on any UK player. Amazon seem to have mixed the reviews with the US Release so don't let any reviews that say it won't work confuse you because this is the new UK Release and it will work. I first got into One Piece when it aired on Toonami several years ago. That was the 4kids dub which was heavily censored and as a result wasn't as successful as it could have been. Many fans of the original hated the changes made to it. Because I'd never seen the original version at the time I didn't really have any problem with it. So now the show has been re-dubbed by Funimation who have done a much better job at it. This is the same voice cast who dubbed Dragonball Z So if you're familiar with that then you'll probably enjoy listening to this cast. Of course their dub of One Piece is much more recent so their acting talent has gotten a lot better since DBZ. Also all of the episodes are COMPLETELY UNCUT and have the Japanese music kept intact. Funimation have also done a great job of the opening and ending songs. And the Japanese audio version is also included. For anyone who has never seen One Piece I highly recommend you give it a chance. It's a great series with lots of action, lots of laughs and strong storylines. Or if you saw the 4kids version on Toonami and are holding out because of that then I'd recommend you give it another chance. This is the true One Piece and is much better than the 4kids version in every way. I'd even say it rivals Dragonball. In Japan it's the best-selling Manga even beating out the likes of Dragonball and Naruto and is considered a massive thing in general. Seriously if you do a search about One Piece in Japan you'll realise just how massive a phenomenon it is. The story is about Monkey D. Luffy who is a pirate setting out on his journey to find the treasure called One Piece and to become king of the pirates. He is also made of rubber thanks to eating a special fruit that gave him the ability to stretch to great lengths and use all sorts of crazy techniques. On top of that he is super strong and able to smash rocks and survive all sorts of brutal things. The crew members he gets in this set are Zorro who is a badass Swordsman, Nami who is a thief and also a navigator, Usopp who is a great Marksman and also a huge liar and Sanji who he meets in this set but doesn't join until a bit later and is also a chef who is great at kicking. If you just read it like this you don't really get that feeling of how great it really is. It's one of those shows that you can only really judge by watching it. The fight scenes are really well done and there's a lot of blood in several scenes. I liked this Collection so much I've already pre-ordered Collection 2. I say get Collection 1 just to try One Piece and see if it's your thing. Chances are it will be.

Item arrived in great condition and well within the estimated timeframe.
