One Piece Collection 1 (Episodes 1-26) [DVD]

Finally One Piece has gotten its UK DVD Release. Manga UK did a great job releasing Dragonball Z and now it's time for another classic to get released!Firstly it's important to note that this UK Release is Region 2 and will definitely work on any UK player. Amazon seem to have mixed the reviews with the US Release so don't let any reviews that say it won't work confuse you because this is the new UK Release and it will work.I first got into One Piece when it aired on Toonami several years ago. That was the 4kids dub which was heavily censored and as a result wasn't as successful as it could have been. Many fans of the original hated the changes made to it. Because I'd never seen the original version at the time I didn't really have any problem with it.So now the show has been re-dubbed by Funimation who have done a much better job at it. This is the same voice cast who dubbed Dragonball Z So if you're familiar with that then you'll probably enjoy listening to this cast. Of course their dub of One Piece is much more recent so their acting talent has gotten a lot better since DBZ. Also all of the episodes are COMPLETELY UNCUT and have the Japanese music kept intact. Funimation have also done a great job of the opening and ending songs. And the Japanese audio version is also included.For anyone who has never seen One Piece I highly recommend you give it a chance. It's a great series with lots of action, lots of laughs and strong storylines. Or if you saw the 4kids version on Toonami and are holding out because of that then I'd recommend you give it another chance. This is the true One Piece and is much better than the 4kids version in every way. I'd even say it rivals Dragonball. In Japan it's the best-selling Manga even beating out the likes of Dragonball and Naruto and is considered a massive thing in general. Seriously if you do a search about One Piece in Japan you'll realise just how massive a phenomenon it is.The story is about Monkey D. Luffy who is a pirate setting out on his journey to find the treasure called One Piece and to become king of the pirates. He is also made of rubber thanks to eating a special fruit that gave him the ability to stretch to great lengths and use all sorts of crazy techniques. On top of that he is super strong and able to smash rocks and survive all sorts of brutal things. The crew members he gets in this set are Zorro who is a badass Swordsman, Nami who is a thief and also a navigator, Usopp who is a great Marksman and also a huge liar and Sanji who he meets in this set but doesn't join until a bit later and is also a chef who is great at kicking.If you just read it like this you don't really get that feeling of how great it really is. It's one of those shows that you can only really judge by watching it. The fight scenes are really well done and there's a lot of blood in several scenes.I liked this Collection so much I've already pre-ordered Collection 2. I say get Collection 1 just to try One Piece and see if it's your thing. Chances are it will be.

So happy one piece is in the UK. Must admit it starts off slow but really starts to get good near the end of this collection. Cant wait till colection 2, as i know the show goes from good to amazing. When I heard about one piece so many year ago i dismissed it, saying it was to childish story about pirates being happy all the time plus it was a cartoon, OHHHHHHH HOW I WAS SO WRONG!!!!!!!This show is just unbelievably good, the foreshadowing, the story, the comedy plus theres always a story inside a story, and the character development. OH that character development i never though i could feel so deeply so these characters (I mean ive even cried on several occasions to this show). I can ensure you as long as you go into this with an open mind i can guarantee that you will enjoy it. I mean this show is crazy, its got swords men on unicycle its got giant tigers, clowns, pirates, marines, a man made of rubber, a floating restaurant in the sea, fish men, giant sea monsters, devil fruits etc. But some how, it just works. I know i know, it sounds crazy but honestly it just blends together it to the most amazing STORY. And it still gets even more crazy later on.Its really hard to describe or talk about one piece, its something you have to experience. Now i know this is an extremely long running show (i mean it started in 1999) and the english dub is currently on episode 265 in USA while the japanese version which is currently airing once every week is on episode 601, Now thats a lot of episodes. Also due to its hudge popularity in japan (I mean above 16% of the population watch or read it weekly) one piece has just started to air in america and 1 am on saturdays i think, and is fetching above 1 million views which is just crazy at that time at night. So what i recommend is to try the first 2 collections, this collection and the one coming out on the 1st of july (one piece collection 2). I can ENSURE you will be HOOKED by then, otherwise just sell the dvd and forget it ever existed.I give one piece 5/5, it just an amazing story and ive enjoy every moment of it so far :)

Being a massive One-Piece fan I decided to buy the dvds and start watching it all over again. I wanted a copy Dubbed in English so I can see if I can get my children interested in it too. It arrived very quickly and in great condition, the case has 4 DVDs, episodes 1-26 and has a contents on the inside cover. Very happy with this purchase

I've always found One Piece to be a pretty hard sell to people who aren't aware of it. They normally stop listening when the summarise the entire thing as being about a "stretchy pirate".One Piece follows the adventures of Luffy ("stretchy pirate") as he attempts to get a crew and a ship and achieve his goal of finding the legendary treasure One Piece. The bulk of the anime focuses on the crews interactions with one another as they overcome obstacles and enemies. It sounds really simple, and I guess it is. It doesn't push the boundaries. What makes One Piece stand out is how well it is executed. The characters feel like individuals, having their own wants, needs and back stories, and they all grow as the series progresses.It's a pretty hard sell as there's no "hook" so to speak, but the waves of fans should tell you there's something good going on here.This DVD, released for the first time in the UK uncut and dubbed in a non-insulting way, contains the first 26 episodes of One Piece. The first fifty odd episodes consist of Luffy assembling his crew, so there's a lot of sailing around and meeting new people. Don't let that put you off, the journey is every bit as enjoyable as the later adventures.The DVD contains both the English and Japanese dub, with English subtitles included. The episodes are spread across four DVD's. The show started in Japan back in 1999, but the animation is still good by today's standards.

My daughter loves these. Watches them again and again!
