Overall, the show has a colossal 1139 episodes, and 1088 of them are available to stream for free on the platform. One Piece, spanning over twenty years of storytelling, is recognised amongst the finest anime series in history. It has beaten countless acclaimed live-action programmes on various rankings of television's greatest shows. Recently, One Piece fans were left 'so hyped' as Netflix dropped the season 2 trailer of their live-action version. The story chronicles the escapades of Monkey D Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates crew, who undertake exhilarating quests across perilous waters while pursuing a legendary treasure. Beyond its tremendous achievements in manga and anime formats, One Piece has also had a Netflix live-action adaptation featuring Inaki Godoy as Luffy, which soon got approved for a second season. BBC Three and iPlayer Controller of Youth Audiences, Fiona Campbell, previously stated: "It's a really exciting move to bring the One Piece franchise to UK audiences in the coming months. "With its captivating storytelling, rich characters, and global fanbase, One Piece has become a cultural phenomenon, and we're so excited to see how the fanbase will enjoy this huge canon of episodes available in English only on iPlayer." Since launching in 1999, One Piece has conquered audiences worldwide, with fans hailing it as the pinnacle of anime storytelling. By 2024, the series had overtaken competitors including Shogun, The Bear, and House of the Dragon, claiming the top position on IMDb's rankings of users' most beloved series for the year. Social media has been flooded with praise from enthusiasts. On X (previously Twitter), one thrilled fan gushed: "Now that I've caught up with OP (anime), I can say the following: "One Piece is the absolute undisputed king of worldbuilding. It's the adventure of a lifetime, the most romantic journey ever, and definitely one of the best stories I've ever experienced." Elsewhere online, a passionate supporter proclaimed: "Do not forget that One Piece is currently the best animated series and nothing will top it for a while. "No other series ever produced the same amount of sakuga (standout animation) in a single year as One Piece did in 2023." Sharing similar views, another fan added: "One Piece is the most intricately built world in all of manga and anime. "Oda creates an adventure that lasted a lifetime and continued to gain new fans over the years. The sense of wonder and journey you get from following this series is beyond any other." On Reddit, the excitement continues, with one user praising its merits by stating: "One Piece is a masterpiece, something that has never been seen before and something that will never be surpassed ever. "One Piece is the greatest piece of creation of all time. I love One Piece. I breathe One Piece. I pray One Piece. I dream One Piece. I respect One Piece. I live One Piece. "One Piece is the GOAT and is 100 tiers above any other piece of entertainment whether it's an anime, a movie, a series, a documentary, a show."
