I cannot believe it will be thirty years since One Piece first aired back one on October 20, 1999 and there have been more than 9000 episodes and still counting.

Although, it’s sad to know it will come to an end within 5 years, but it’s time. Then who knows what the next stage this series will actually take.
I was thinking about going over different parts as I have started from the beginning, because I kind of got upset after Ace died. Yes, I stopped watching, and that might just be a me or a girl thing.
Portgas D. Ace is better known as âFire Fistâ Ace, because of his ability to fight with fire. He ate the âflame flame fruit,â and although he isnât blood related to Luffy, they are brothers just the same. He is also Gol D. Rogers’ son.
Gol D. Rogers was a powerful and dangerous pirate Captain who had collected more gold then anyone and his travels were known everywhere. It was said he gave himself up to the marines after learning of his illness. His last words left millions looking for the gold he had collected through his travels. He said, âIf you want my gold you can have it. I left it all in one placeâ.
Those last words of Gol D. Rogers left every person who was a pirate and who became a pirate looking for the gold and to be known as âThe King of the Piratesâ.
Which brings us to Monkey D. Luffy also known as âStraw Hat Luffyâ he is the Captain of The Straw Hat Pirates, and has calmed he was going to be King of the pirates since he was a child along with his brothers.
âSanbo Socho,â Sabo also known as âLucyâ was childhood friends with Ace and Luffy and thatâs how they became brothers. He is in the Revolutionary Army as the chief. Like his brothers he ate devil fruit called Mera Mera no Mi, and he can use fire.
I can and will add on to this thought. There are a lot of stories within this series and I canât wait to talk about them all..
I want to talk about anime. When people find out I watch anime, the first thing that comes out of their mount is, âYou must be watching it, because of your son?â
I am actually laughing as I type, because who says nike is just for the young. I am 52 years blessed and getting better every day. I will admit I did start watching anime years ago, because of my son, but we all have to start somewhere.
How will you know if you like something, if you donât try something new? What was new is now learned and then you can choose if you like it or not.
I was looking for more anime shows I could watch and made a list. As I was going through past notes, I noticed that list, and then I thought I could write about the world of Anime. Not a new idea, but it’s new to me.
Where do I begin? Do I go back 15 years when my son started watching it or do I go back 25 years when I watched it with my brother. Then again maybe what I was watching back in the 80âs was called cartoons, but still animation just wasn’t as good as it is today.
I am going to take a look at that list and go from there. I had wanted to watch something that didnât have any violence in it and these are a few that I got from googleâŚ..
K-ON! is an example of the slice-of-life genre, and there’s nothing violent about it. When amateur guitarist Yui Hirasawa joins the Light Music Club, she has no musical skill. Her fellow club members aren’t thrilled, but if they want to keep the club from being disbanded, they’ll have to show their new member the ropes. While creating music, the club members form meaningful friendships and learn to express themselves through art.
I didnât watch this one, because I didnât think I would like itâŚ..
Not every mystery needs to be a blood-soaked murder case. Sometimes, as is the case with the mysteries solved by the Classics Club in Hyouka, the mysteries can be low key but still entertaining. They investigate a ghost haunting a hot spring, the reason why a student gets called to the office, and other subjects that are charming enough to drive the plot. But the true power behind Hyouka lies in its characters. Houtarou Oreki is passive, lazy, and largely indifferent to the world around him, but Eru Chitanda’s infectious enthusiasm forces him to re-evaluate his approach to life.
I did like Hyouka. Each person in the club is different, but once they became friends they all helped each other be better than what they thought they were.
When 30-year-old Daikichi Kawachi’s grandfather dies, the whole family is shocked to find out he left behind a six-year-old daughter, Rin Kaga. No one else in the family is willing to step up and care for the now orphaned girl, except for Daikichi, who must adjust to life as a single dad. Issues like finding affordable childcare, trying to maintain a dating life in a society that expects dads to have wives, and soothing a six-year-old through nightmares make for a compelling story that doesn’t require gratuitous violence to carry it.
I didnât watch this one, because I didnât think I would like itâŚ..
If you want to go camping, but don’t want to deal with the inconvenience or the weather, then watching Laid-Back Camp might be your best option. This is an anime about a group of girls who take to the great outdoors, enjoying each other’s company, eating delicious fire-cooked meals, and learning valuable survival skills.
Tripping and falling is a common occurrence in this anime, especially for Nadeshiko, but no one gets seriously hurt, and no one intentionally tries to hurt anyone else. This is a feel-good, educational anime that will leave you contemplating your own future camping trip.

Joined by her black cat familiar Chito, 15-year-old Makoto Kowata embarks on a journey to learn about and master witchcraft. What follows is a combination of ordinary school life and whimsical magical adventures, including run-ins with fortune-telling dogs and screaming mandrakes. While some events are potentially dangerous (mandrakes are poisonous and can kill with their screams) nothing violent actually happens on this warm-hearted show.
I had started not to look at this, because of the word âwitch,â but I changed my mind. It was a good show.

I like this show, but it has been a while and I cannot recall what it’s about. I want to click on it, but I am afraid I am going to want to watch it again. If I wasnât already watching three shows now I would do it, but I am not.
I know I shouldn’t be watching one of my favorite shows from the beginning, instead of picking up where I left off at, because it was no longer in English. Anyway, I am enjoying myself, and watchingâŚ
