One Piece is an overall fun anime with lots of wacky randomness to have you entertained, whilst scratching your head, the whole way. Although the anime isn't exactly bloody, there are lots of explosions and graphic burns on people. Might bug some littler kids. No profanity, no nudity, no drinking, nothing wrong. I'm 14 and I still love it. The characters are lovable, the plot is fun, and the storyline is enough to have you in stitches.

What Parents Need to Know
About One Piece
Parents need to know that this show's focus on violence overrides the creators' supposed billing as a search for a lost treasure. On a recent episode, it was difficult to differentiate between the "good" and the "bad' guys" and the constant sword battles become mind-numbing after a few minutes. There is little educational value in such a show. With such an emphasis, it isn't appropriate for younger elementary school children; some middle-grade elementary school kids may not be able to process the ongoing violent occurrences as well.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what kind of value they place on the ability to yield power, a trait that the characters in this show treasure and battle incessantly over. Are there better ways to be, as one pirate puts it, "the best I can be?"

If your kids can watch Batman the animeted sreies...
Note: this review is of the funimation uncut DVD's then you could let them watch this show. this page says that this show has bad role models, but it really doesn't. the main cast of characters are pirates, but they never steal from those less fortunate from them. actually, they tend to help those in need, including protecting villages and saving people. they only really steal from other pirates. there is blood during battle, but not things like limbs getting ripped off. however, there is a charecter on the second part of season one who had cut off his leg to save a kid, but is was not shown on screen, and was only reveild when the kid the guy rescued noticed that the man's leg was missing. overall, this show isn't that bad, for a mature kid, who you believe could watch or has watched batman the animated series, they should be able to watch this. the language is fairly tame, and the violence, while a bit bloody at times, is defiantly not the wost out there. on the other had, the characters do drink booze(they are pirates after all) and one of the charecters in the main cast dose smoke. the morals this will teach your children are to help others in need, try to overcome your fears, and never turn your backs on your friends no matter what. overall, this show can be great for anyone 10 and up, and also suitable for a mature 6-9 year old.

It's awsome
I grew up with One Piece. Everyday, I would always get excited to see it on tv. So much entertainment, action, I can't get off it. I hope they return One Piece back on tv. I miss Usopp!
