Also while mature, One Piece was not and shall never be an adult series. Its a shonen series, marketed for kids starting at Elementary through early High School. This however does not make it a children's series either, as their shows targeted directly to children...well they can be REALLY kiddy, like my lord. We westerners like to peg Japan as this nation of violence loving perverts, but in reality their standards and practices are just as strict if not stricter than ours. We as a continent are merely conditioned to believe Japanse animation is super hardcore, because the majority of Japanse animation marketed to the states is meant for teens or adults, which we are MASSIVLY lacking in the states, or if we're talking teen animation than zero. Seriously-WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD TEEN SHOWS?!
