It's number one? lolno. It's #2. We might not have anime viewer statistics for last year, but we do know that One Piece has sold more than Naruto, Bleach, and the next four mangas combined. Anyways, I enjoy it. But I have to admit it is horribly written. He just keeps adding on plots to continue the story. Here's the premise of the series: Become recognized. Become Hokage. Stop a group from destroying the village. Stop guy from destroying village. Save your friend. Save your friend. Save your friend. Save your friend. 100 episodes of save your friend filler (no -blam!-ing joke- it's around 100 episodes of filler in a row before Shippuden is started. That's ridiculous). Save a different friend. Save yourself. Save the village. Save the world. Save the world. Save the village. Save the world. Save the world. Save the world with ridiculous reasons as to why it is in danger. Add in a few hundred fillers and a billion 'plot twists' as to motivations and identities? It's just really poorly written. I enjoy it, but I admit it's not quality.
