Zoro is so cool. He's my favorite character. I must say that One Piece is one of the only animes that I know of that's as good as its manga. I mean, most of the time (in my opinion) either an anime is better than its manga or vise versa. I sat there reading One Piece at work for the first time four years ago and I was literally in tears . Then my sister bought the episodes up to 112 for me one year. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I watched them because she'd spent money on them (not much...but money nonetheless). Oh man! I just died laughing all over again. Luffy is a piece of work. And that laugh of his . _________________

from gonzo...the company that produced the show

GONZO animation GANKUTSUOU wins best title award at
10th ANIMATION KOBE fair
2005.09.09
GDH K.K ("GDH"; headquarters: Tokyo; President: Shinichiro Ishikawa) announced today that the GANKUTSUOU animation title created by GDH group company GONZO K.K. (GONZO) won a best title award in the TV category at the 10th ANIMATION KOBE fair.
Hosted by Kobe City and the animation Kobe Committee (executive chairman: Yasuki Hamano, professor at the graduate school of the University of Tokyo), the ANIMATION KOBE fair has been held each year since 1996 to discover and foster human resources related to digital video production and help support the digital video industry. At this fair, the Animation Kobe award was set up to honor individuals, groups and titles that are expected to be active in future. Since examiners are made up of the chief editors of major animation magazines who know Japan's digital content trends better than anyone else, their decisions are highly rated by animation industry-related people in terms of fairness and far-sightedness. The award ceremony will be held on October 2 at the Kobe main hall in the Kobe International Conference Center. For more information, please visit http://www.xebec.co.jp/anime-kobe/anime-kobe/
In order to express increased artistic expression for clothing, which is difficult in conventional TV animation that uses texture for color characters, using the latest 3DCGI digital technologies including newly developed applications, GANKUTSUOU provides flamboyant visuals that have tremendous impact. GANKUTSUO is the result of an intense collaboration of cutting edge technologies and creators, including director Mahiro Maeda, who is recognized worldwide through this work on ANIMATRIX, etc., and world-class designer Anna Sui, who designed the costumes for the last episode.
GDH's Blue Submarine No. 6 and Battle Fairy Yukikaze previously won best title awards in the package category but this is the first time a GDH entry has won in the TV category.
Because of the high rating for GONZO animation in the TV category, the company is encouraged by the fact that GONZO technology and planning power are being accepted by more people, thus the company will continue to strive to create excellent titles, always adopting new taste in future as well.

yeah i really enjoyed this anime...it's a remarkable piece of stylish storytelling. although i know it's based on the classic by alexander dumas i thought the characterization was well executed and meaningfully portrayed in its own right. a rare piece of fiction.
