FUCK THIS SHIT :P
As the popularity of One Piece swelled with its serialization in ''[[Weekly Shonen Jump|Shōnen Jump]]'', it would soon reach an even larger audience through the medium of television, being adapted into an animated series. That television series (a largely faithful adaptation of the manga) debuted in 1999, but animated One Piece actually had its origins one year earlier with an [[OVA]].


===Episodes===
....... ONE PIECE.....
{{main|List of One Piece episodes}}
As of [[November 26]] [[2006]], One Piece has had a total of 287 TV episodes. Episodes from 207 onwards have been broadcast in [[HDTV|high-definition]] at [[720p]] resolution, in addition to standard definition.


Though most anime series air a new episode every week, recently One Piece airs an average of three episodes a [[month]] (or, in some cases, will air several episodes back-to-back and then go off the air for a few [[week]]s). This is thought to be because the anime is very close to catching up with the manga, but because the [[anime]] is in the middle of a [[manga]] [[storyline]], the series cannot simply begin airing [[filler]]s right away, the usual practice in such a situation is to wait until the current storyline is over if it's a manga storyline and then do fillers. Despite the infrequent air times, the series has remained very popular.


===Movies===
Since the debut of the series on television, [[Toei Animation]] has also produced seven One Piece feature films, released each spring since the year 2000. In typical fashion for movies based on serialized manga, the films feature self-contained, completely original plots with animation of higher quality than what the weekly anime allows for. Additionally, three of these movies have had special featurettes, showcasing the characters engaged in various activities unrelated to the series (specifically dancing, playing soccer, and playing baseball). These movies, and their attached featurettes, are as follows:
# '''[[One Piece: The Movie]]''' (ワンピース ''Wanpīsu'', 2000) - The crew comes across an island that is said to be the location of an amazing collection of gold, but they are not the only ones after it.
# '''[[Clockwork Island Adventure]]''' (ねじまき島の冒険 ''Nejimaki-Shima no Bōken'', 2001) - When their ship is stolen, the Straw Hats come across a thief duo that claims it was stolen by the Trump Pirates, who have taken over Clockwork Island. To make things even worse, the Trump Pirates kidnap Nami so she can marry their leader. The Straw Hats have to stop them before it's too late.
#* Featurette: '''[[Jango's Dance Carnival]]''' (ジャンゴのダンスカーニバル ''Jango no Dansu Kānibaru'') - Jango hypnotizes an entire island, including the Straw Hats, into dancing so he may escape the Marines.
# '''[[Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals]]''' (珍獣島のチョッパー王国 ''Chinjū-jima no Choppā-Ōkoku'', 2002) - The crew searches for the "Crowning Treasure", but as they approach the island it is said to be on, they are sent into the air, separating Chopper from the group. On the island, the animals declare Chopper their king. However, there are people besides the Straw Hats looking for the Crowning Treasure.
#* Featurette: '''[[Dream Soccer King!]]''' (夢のサッカー王! ''Yume no Sakkā-Ō!'') - The Straw Hat men challenge their foes to a game of soccer.
# '''[[Dead End Adventure]]''' (デッドエンドの冒険 ''Deddo Endo no Bōken'', 2003) - In order to gain money, the crew enters a pirate race called the Dead End Race.
# '''[[Curse of the Sacred Sword]]''' (呪われた聖剣 ''Norowareta Seiken'', 2004) - An old friend of Zoro's is possessed by an evil sword, and due to a favor Zoro owes him, he joins his side. The Straw Hats will have to find a way to seal the sword before its true power is unleashed.
#* Featurette: '''[[Take Aim! The Pirate Baseball King]]''' (めざせ! 海賊野球王 ''Mezase! Kaizoku Yakyū-Ō'') - The Straw Hats face the Arlong Pirates in a game of baseball, with Buggy and Mr. 2 Bon Kurei as announcers.
# '''[[Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island]]''' (オマツリ男爵と秘密の島 ''Omatsuri Danshaku to Himitsu no Shima'', 2005) - The crew lands at a resort owned by Baron Omatsuri, who challenges them to a series of games. However, there is more to Omatsuri and his friends than meets the eye.
# '''[[The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle]]''' (カラクリ城のメカ巨兵 ''Karakuri-Jō no Meka Kyohei'', 2006) - The crew searches for the treasure known as the Golden Crown on Mecha Island, a technologically advanced island filled with amazing machines, which is ruled by a man named Ratchet.

One Piece (ワンピース, Wanpīsu) is a manga and anime series created by artist Eiichiro Oda. One Piece focuses on a ragtag crew of pirates led by Captain Monkey D. Luffy. Luffy's greatest ambition is to obtain the world's ultimate treasure, One Piece, and become Pirate King.

In TV Asahi's latest top 100 Anime Ranking, One Piece managed to come 32nd on the list beating other current and popular animes like Naruto. Volume 24 of the One Piece manga was the highest selling Japanese novel of all time, prior to the publication of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
