One of the top and long running Anime of all time is One Piece.
The company of Luffy, Nami and the rest is having millions of fans around the world since it was first first premiered in Japanese TV on October 20, 1999.
It is 22 years of an incredible journey with Luffy's Crew in the quest to find One Piece, the mythical treasure that was left behind by Pirate King Gol D. Roger.
One Piece as an anime has an approach that attracts young generation but some of the concepts and scenes are also appealing to a wider range of ages.
It is already 22 years that it is releasing new episodes and new seasons (Arks) and most of the generation that first watched it back in 1999 is grown up today and possibly their children now watch it.
The Crew, the adventure and the endless recurring characters
Luffy in his quest for One Piece is travelling across the One Piece World together with the crew accompanying him.
From his journeys he selected the best pirates, and attracted even former enemies to join him. He has the highest charisma of any other Anime character and his silliness is probably the only negative that other characters find in him, but one that is not enough to not consider him as a candidate for Pirate King.
The crew of the Straw Hat Pirates and their position in the ship:
Monkey D. Luffy - Captain
Roronoa Zoro - Swordsman
Nami - Navigator
Usopp - Sniper
Sanji - Cook
Chopper - Doctor
Nico Robin - Science, Archeologist
Franky - Carpenter, Shipwright
Brook - Musician
Jinbe - Helmsman

For fans of the series like me we have all the characters at the very top, although we all have a preference on some during different Arks.
With more than 1000 episodes in Manga and Animated Series it is difficult to make a full review or explain a lot of what has happened so far in the adventure.
What is very important to know is that One Piece will entertain you to the full if you start from the beginning.
Out of the One Piece crew my favorite character as probably with most other fans is Roronoa Zoro. Maybe this video that is only one fixed image and the epic song will give you a hint about the glorious battles you will be witnessing when you begin watching One Piece.
Epilogue
Don't worry about spoilers. You will have forgotten everything except Zoro before you begin your One Piece journey and delve in the majestic adventure that awaits you.
One Piece is an anime kids love, but also grown ups can keep up with any story and with its addicting storyline it has created a strong fanbase of millions around the world that read every Manga and watch the episode again in Anime.
If you don't believe me, ask anyone that has watched at least the first two seasons.

I'm going to be the Pirate King!
