Well the art is really bad, for a while i hoped it would get better like some other animes did but it doesnt, for example naruto, bleach, and fruits basket started out kind of weird with the art especially naruto's art started bad but it really did improve drastcly probally cause it got big tho but it still got fantastic artwork lately and sadly one piece doesnt change. one piece is also very very drawn out."
people say naruto is too but not like this it would take 10 episodes or more to get halfway through one simple fight. The character's have really bad and not creative at all names, i mean Luffy, Brook, Franky?!

not even japanese......and its really all about pirates.
it seems like a mix between dragon ball, naruto, and pirates of the carribean. i find people who really like it alot havent seen many other good animes before.
and it seems like the story is in a weird way taken from naruto and bleach, i mean its alot like them just not as in depth to the characters which makes it worse. if u watch naruto u would see similarites, the thing is naruto was made first so its obvious the author copied in a way he just made pirates instead of ninjas and didnt go as far into the characters. though unlike alot of haters i respect everyones different opinions and i rarely ever talk about anime/manga i hate unless its for a question like this. thats why i think all naruto and one piece haters should give it a rest, i mean i hate one piece too but they talk more about it then the fans alot of times and they should respect everyone has different taste and not try to force them to hate it like they do.
if u hate an anime they should just get over it and move on. but of course none of this was directed towards u at all, sry if it seemd that way. i just personally didnt like the plot and actually it has been around for years and years but just recently got big and popular. i think because in the later fight they really resemble the fights from naruto and bleach, i think the author did this because it worked to get an anime. and im also not really a fan of pirates. its just waaaay to over used and pirates are useless in my opinion. im more a fan of ninja and i like the soul reapers from bleach, its so different and they make it so believable. and people were craving for a ninja theme before naruto cause author avoided using ninja cause it used to be overused. but the one piece author really did copy other anime themes and styles which i personally dont like, its ok to some extent but not like this. this author wasnt creative at all.
