Fast sell:
Shiver me timbers, if it isn’t the UK’s most requested anime series! Featuring the first 26 episodes of the smash hit anime, One Piece: Collection 1 follows rubber-limbed Monkey D. Luffy and his crew of Straw Hat Pirates as he searches for the fabled One Piece treasure in a bid to become the next King
of the Pirates. Super-powered action, barrels of laughs and occasional tear-jerking moments await Luffy and friends as they set sail on the ultimate of sea adventures. A true anime classic!
Key talent:
Produced by Toei Animation (Dragon Ball Z) and Mayumi Tanaka (Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Dragon Ball Z) voices Luffy, while Coleen Clinkenbeard (Fairy Tail, Fullmetal Alchemist) takes the lead role in the English dub.
Synopsis:
Monkey D. Luffy is a boy with big dreams. This daring rubber-man refuses to let anyone or anything stand in the way of his quest to become king of all pirates. With a course charted for the treacherous waters of the Grand Line, Luffy strikes out in search of a crew – and a boat. Along the way he’ll do battle with scallywag clowns, fishy foes, and an entire fleet of marines eager to see him walk the plank. The stakes are high, but with each adventure, Luffy adds a new friend to his crew of Straw Hat Pirates! Like his hero Shanks, this is one captain who’ll never drop anchor until he’s claimed the greatest treasure in the world – the Legendary One Piece!
We like it because:
Together with Dragon Ball Z, Naruto and Bleach, One Piece makes up the definitive quartet of shonen shows..and now it’s available in the UK, uncut and sporting the best English dub to boot! This is an action-packed, vibrant series that perfectly captures the imaginative spirit of Eiichiro Oda’s manga, including his trademark ‘cartoony’ designs. One Piece continues to be one of Toei Animation’s most popular and long-running franchises and therefore an essential addition to any anime fans collection.
