I feel One Piece did a multiple number of things right. First would be having a dream or goal set from the start of the anime and then introducing dreams for each of the main characters. That pretty much always gives them something to be working for rather when animes just focus on new tough enemy gotta get stronger to protect my friends. I think that is over used. Also one of my favorite parts of one piece is the character development. Almost no other anime can compare to it. being able to love every main character gets you more involved in the entire anime rather than just liking what episodes feature your favorites. Then ignoring the manga, what i think the anime did better than all other long going animes is the lack of shitty filler. Hint Hint Bleach and original naruto. This does involve the manga some too. One Piece manga actually has more story in it than others and doesnt make it go slow so the anime can go decently fast without much filler. And then just the filler they use i think is better. Its normally short with a story line that relates to the main plot or theres just an episode for each crew member with their own adventures where you get to learn more about them. Both are good i think. Then the final thing id say is being unexpected. In the most recent arc a few major characters died which wasn't expected, but not to long before we thought zoro was going to die too. It really is nice to not be able to predict whats going to happen everytime.
