I was on vacation the last week and got bored. I don't care for pirate genre stuff, but I gave it a try anyway. I made it up to episode 80-something (Wadol arc)
I actually like it to some degree. Luffy is a hilarious character and you can't not like him, and when it comes time for him to play "Goku", he delivers. I like how he has to tell virtually every main villain that he's going to kick their ass.
Zoro is a good character as well. I just think the 3rd sword in the mouth thing is super lame.
The show does suffer from the corniness of oldschool anime. Half the villains are really cheesy and have really lame powers. My favorite so far is Captain Kuru. There was a dark & morbid atmosphere to his character. I just wish the names of his attacks weren't lame cat puns. "Out of the bag" technique... really? lol
You kinda have to accept the show for being a product of its time and just enjoy it though.
