Dragon Ball was the anime that made me really into this manga world. It was not only the first one i saw but the first one i watched all its episodes as well. After i finished Dragon Ball back in the early 2000s i started watching a ton of other anime and reading a ton of other mangas. I have to admit that the only one that made me like it as much as i do Dragon Ball, is One Piece.

Ive watched all the big three One Piece, Bleach, Naruto and way more smaller ones but none of them could compete in terms of both "story-line" and "action-fighting". All the mangas would sacrifice sotry for action or action for story while One Piece is holding the ballance perfectly at the moment of those 2 attributes.

Another point would be the long-running element of One Piece. Most long running anime tend to over repeat themselves with arcs that go like "A new big nad guy appears" > "The main antagonist confronts him" > "The main antagonist is getting rekt" > "The main antagonist gets power of friendship and powers up his friendship meter as if he is a  Pichu ready to evolve into Pikachu and beats the bad guy even tho the bad guy is stronger but he doesnt have any friends to power up his friendship meter as well". Well im sure im not the only one getting annoyed by this. One Piece on the other hand provides a totally unique content in ever single arc and progresses with Luffy getting stronger or getting help from others to defeat enemies more powerful than him.

Last of all we have the ending. Most long running anime had bad to disapointing to rushed endings as if the creators were like "Im done with this, lets just let it end". Even tho we have not seen One Piece's ending yet to judge im sure Oda will not rush something like that in that degree.
