With the first episode of the anime out and the next one soon to come, I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on what they thought of the premiere episode!

I have read up to the sixth volume of the manga so far and I am very much into the story!!!

I have to admit i was hoping that the animation would be better, it seems that they are gearing the series toward the younger kids, much like Tsubasa. BUT i do understand that if they made the animation too similar to One Piece then the comparisons between the two won't ever stop.

They seem to be following the story, and with the large colorful cast of characters to choose from, even if the diverge from the original storyline there's still a possibility of the anime being entertaining. Its still early, and here's to hoping that they up the animation budget partway thru the series, like Hajime no Ippo did.
