Hmmmm…even earlier then my OP manga discovery in a shop was when I was watching my frnd play GB1....I thought Arlong was cool and I used him all the time even though I hardly liked OP at that time...

I was hanging around the Naruto MSN group when the person who was in charge of that group made an announcement of starting a One Piece MSN group so i was like why don't i try this manga?Because i was bored so well i started to read it and got hooked almost immediately.Then i discovered this site trough a link on the One Piece board of the MSN group a few months ago but it's just now that i decided to sign up and post after observing the forums for a while.
Before that i always saw some stuff about One Piece and i was wondering how can a series that look so childish be so popular and never really bothered on reading the manga but oh boy was i wrong this is really an amazing serie.Thanks to One Piece i never judge a book by it's cover now. :)
-
My goofy friends got me into it. I watch the fansubs. <_<
-
I read the very first chapter of One Piece in Shonen Jump and instantly became hooked on the manga
But since my computer sucks and the 4kids dub sucks the only real connection i have to the anime is Arlong Park -which is how I got here :D
-
I read a VERY short article about it in a magazine! I was in a Manga-shop two days later. I had 120 Euros (same as $) in my pockets and didn´t know with Manga I should pick. Then I saw One Piece! It was love at first sight :wub: . I bought the first twelve, went home and read them! Since this day One Piece (beside Shaman King, I don´t know which I love more) is my fav. Anime/Manga! :lol:
-
I found out about it through an AMV.
-
i was bored i had nothing to do i asked my friend to give me any anime he gave me one piece watched it loved know a number 1 faan
-
My friend showed me the first part of the manga, I knew there was an anime bacause my sister actually bought the first movie on VHS and it's raw. SHe also had gotten the Flame of Recca series in VHS raw. This all happened about two years ago, but to get to the point my friend got me into it when I saw the Arlong ark, that's when I got hooked.
-
One day my friend handed me this huge Shonen Jump novel and told me to check it out. I wanted to read YYH the most, and when I was done with that I decided to read everything else. Dbz, Naruto, One Piece, Shaman King…
I liked One Piece the most, I wanted to read more so badly I couldn't stand it...
Much later I saw that One Piece was comming out on Fox. I watched it, enjoyed what I didn't get to read, then a friend from here told me a site to read the Manga. I have been doing so for awhile and am quite further than the crappy 4Kids dub.
That's how
-
You should download the fansubs. o.o
-
Ya my brother (tony tony chopper)told me about it it was good i liked the manga more though :P
-
American Shonen Jump. It's going at a slow pace, though (2-3 chapters a month)
-
I get into OP thanks to Jetix
-
I read Weekly Jump for years until OP came out and was totally blown away when it did. I was like: "Damn, this concepts so retro and weird for manga that its actually great!" God bless you Oda, wherever you are!!!
-
I was into the DBZ manga, so I bought issue 3 of Shonen Jump.
I read DBZ and Sandland because they were familiar.
Then I ventured into the other 5.
After reading Yugioh, and practically vomiting at how bad it was. I turned the page and ran into One Piece for the first time.I got hooked, and went on the internet.
And of course the rest is obvious. -
I was tipped by a friend of mine.
-
At first i hated it…thought it was the most dumbest looking manga ever.Than one day i got bored and was at borders so i though..what the hell it's the only thing on the shelf to read.So i picked it up and read volume 1 & 2 after that i was hooked.I thought luffy was one of the greatest charecters ever created.It wasn't untill a year later that I met some people who told me about reading manga online.They gave me a couple of website's for one piece scans and other various manga scans and so i've been hooked on one piece ever since.

Friend told me about it, and I needed some new anime to watch some I transfered all of the episodes he had (I think he had to about 120) onto my external hard drive. Watched it fell in love, and then I read it.
-
I heard about OP from anime websites around the time it was starting to become popular with some anime fans, but I wasn't that all interested. Then when I homestayed in Japan, my host-student taped it on television, and we watched it on the weekend (I could tell she really liked it, she was really looking forward to watching it). The episode(s?) I watched was where Luffy, Sanji and sick Nami were climbing up those mountains on Drum Island etc. and I didn't totally get what was going on, but I enjoyed it, and laughed at the bit when Zoro beat up that soldier just so he could take his jacket. And at the end, this weird little reindeer appeared! I witnessed the first appearance of Chopper!
That was 3/4 years ago. I didn't really get into OP until about a couple of months ago because I didn't know where to look to d/l the anime/manga. I'm so glad I can now! :D
-
Wow now that I think about it, I can't remember if I read it first in Jump or watched it first on tv… ^_^;; I just remember that I first found out about One Piece because my friends at my japanese school read it in Jump and tankobon and because everything in Japan was OP! lol Then I went back to japan in 2001 and my cousins were really into it......I think. Then when I went back in 2003, one of my cousins gave me the first 12 vol. I think.
So I think my first time reading/watching it was in Jump, but I sorta encountered it through the media.
-
Wll I saw the comercial for it and I thought "that looks stupid, it's a rubber man. and it's about pirates that's gonna be gay." But (believe it or not) I heared the opening (that rap thing) and I thought "this looks so cool," and since then I havn't missed an episode.
-
KAIZOKU FANSUBS MAN!!!!! THE BEST PLACE TO GET SOME ONE PIECE MAN!!
-
Well, a friend of mine had thje third movie downloaded in his laptop. So he showed me the movie and I liked it, from then on I liked One Piece.
-
august 2004 i went shopping for a comic books .. i was looking for meitantei conan
the shopkeeper tells me that they running out of meitantei conani don't want to drive for 7 miles for nothing, so i was looking for another comic
and i saw one piece 12 …. and i thought "what's this ?? another DB wannabe ??"i was atheist, but since then i believe in a god ... and his name is Oda :P
-
I didn't realize I hadn't posted or voted in this poll…
Well, I first read it in Shounen Jump, but didn't think much of it. Then, later on, I was surfing the web, and I noticed an anime fanlisting, and Vivi was on it. I naturally went apeshit over her, which pushed me to look further into One Piece... And from then on, I realized what a wonderful story it was. I then stumbled onto Arlong Park, and then to these forums, which were only a few days old at the time... And started the character battle, and... Well, that's how I became the first mod on here. :D
So, I contribute my obsession with One Piece to Vivi. :wub:
-
I saw the Shonen Jump GN at a Barnes & Noble. Curious I picked it up, I read it and a started to laugh, then I left. I came back two days later and then I bought it. It was my FIRST manga ever. And I LOVED it!
Fate had smiled upon me that day. I went online looking for any info I could find, and a found the greatest website EVER concived by Mankind. . . Arlong Park.
And that's the gist of it :lol:
-
I'm shocked!!!! :o I'm even more angry!!!!! Stupid country of mine that only put OP on air like 4 months ago - for the first time!!!!!
It started to be dubb (stupid voices) but now is in the original (thanks god!) and I just fell in love with it…. :)
-
Randomly scrolling the listings on Anime-Suki.
-
I was a regular visitor to Animenfo, i was trying to get the ones that had good reviews when i stumbled upon One Piece, i was thinking to myself, *hmmm an anime based on pirates never seen that before, art looks a little weird. Nevertheless i decided to give it a try and was pleasently suprised. it's currently my No 1. Anime
-
i bought the 2 first volumes and didn't like it.
then i watched the 20 first eps fansubbed and didn't really like it. then the krieg arc started, and i fell in love with one piece. i started to read the scans on the msn groups, which took a lot of time during my job :D coz it was from the beggining of arlong arc to the middle of the davy back fight.
then i discovered arlongpark.com, and from the middle of the DBF, i'm here, on the forums.
and know i need my fix of raws, KF releases, crappy hk subs, raw chapter every week or i die!
-
I read manga and see it.it came to my mind "what the…",then I staarted to read and it's fun.
now I'm addict. -
Shonen Jump issue 1
-
The U.S's Shonen Jump. At first I was just reading it for Yu-gi-oh and DBZ. Then I decided to check out the other works one issue and came upon One Piece (during the Buggy arc which I LIKED). After a few more issue readings, the first manga came out which I quickly snatched up and gave me a more formal introduction to the series. Afterwhich I've been reading and following OP ever since.
-
Like 2 years ago I was working on a Japanese group project in this kid's room and he was a huge One Piece fan; he had a poster of the whole crew on his wall, and it looked pretty interesting. A while later I was browsing Anime-suki for new series to try watching and found the K-F subs. I watched the first batch of 10, then found the AP site and was hooked from then on.
-
Uhhhh I saw some fan-art of Usopp somewhere and went like "damn, an anime character that actually looks interesting for once."
Then I messed around on google, eventually found those "scanslations" as you kids call 'em and promptly had my BRAIN SUCKED OUT.
That's about it.
-
I got into One Piece through fansub. I watched up to episode 117 before I started to read the manga for the rest of the story.
-
Fansubs :D Actually, I was on an Anime info site for some reason, and saw One Piece mentioned. Because I had heard the name earlier, I read the review out of curiosity, and was probably attracted by the large number of episodes (I'm a sucker for long things; books, film, anime :P).
Or it might've been a "favorite anime" poll. Maybe some of both scratches foggy memory
But damn, who doesn't like an endless series of lighthearted pirate adventures?
Quaint.
-
I sometimes go to a store i know and browse through the list of anime titles they have.
On that day, i was supposed to get another title, can't remember which, and the title was out, so i stumble upon ONE PIECE, and i had heard how good it was, so what the heck.
I was a bit worried on how it would turn out, but those thoughts have been wiped out since i watched the first episode.
believe me, since Hunter x Hunter, i have yet to enjoy anime as good as this, so i offer a toast to Oda and his masterpiece. Long live Oda and his materpiece !!!:D
-
I start from the manga; volume 9 (Arlong Park), to be exact. Fell in love with the setting and especially Usopp.
Read all the scanlations I can get. Played the game, watched the anime…
I. Love. One. Piece.
-
Bit of a tidbit I just found out, OP was inspired by Arika Toriyama's DragonBall (the orignal series, not Z). No wonder I got into One Piece so quickly, am a HUGE fan of DB.
-
About a year ago, i perchased the first season (1-30 eps) of eBay. At the time i didnt know they where HK but when i researched more into One Piece i found out that it was. But hey thats the only way i can see the Series apart from downloading them of Bittorent. Anyway i have been a fan every scince.
-
about a couple months ago, my bro was watching one piece and since his comp was behind me it was really hard to not turn around watch it :P at first i disliked it, but during the Little Garden part i started getting intrested in OP and now I'm a fan of it :)

I first got into One Piece when Shonen jump issue one came out, and I started reading the manga. After a while I wanted to see if there was an anime, So I searched around on Kazaa (Which I had at the time) I found episode 8, Which was the first episode I've ever seen, so I watched it and I found it pretty interesting. I then went scoping around on google until I found K-F's site, At the time they were finished subbing episode 88, Around the end of the Wapol/Drum island arc. I then downloaded all of the batches up to now.
