Hey my name is Nazo Kamakiri, and I am a lifelong Japan addict. I live in Amsterdam and just started studying Japanology. From the moment I could read properly (about 9 years old) I began buying and reading Shaman King which is still one of my favorite manga. Before this I was already under the influence of the Japanese cartoon scene as series like Digimon(etc.) were dubbed on tv. Also I like to really force myself to know as much as possible about a series or franchise. I really like weird music genres and japanese cinema from cult to samurai it's all fine by me. I guess that what once was a hobby became an addiction all thanks to the internet haha.

My favorite mangaka are Hayao Miyazaki, Osamu Tezuka, Hiroyuki Takei, Eiichiro Oda and Kazuo Umezu.

One Piece
When it comes to One Piece I have a few things I love about the series:


 * There are so many characters with so many kinds of attributes and personalities that it's almost impossible to only have one favorite character.
 * Let's face it this series contains a huge level of filler-like content though the fun thing is that it really doesn't matter, as it still fits into the story and is actually quite endurable (FUN).
 * It's hilarious, I actually can't think of an episode where I did not laugh.
 * Ofcourse the Straw Hat Pirates are the good guys in the story that's a fact, but the thing that's so great about the series is that it doesn't matter if you are a marine, a pirate, a fishmen or any other faction, there will always be good and bad among any of the factions.
 * The way it is drawn is amazing, I really like how a lot of things happen simultaneously in only one picture.
 * From hiking bears taking a walk to gigantic sea-kings destroying ships, there is such a great variety of funny, cool and cute animals/creatures in the series that there is no way you'll get bored.
 * Luffy is amazing, he is unpredictable, has no table manners and loves his nakama, I really think this is one of the best main protagonists there is in any series, he is simple minded, but that is his strongest attribute as he will risk anything for anybody.

Favorites
I love almost every character in the series, but I shall keep it at the characters that really are important in the story.



1. I love Chopper. Chopper is cute and fluffy, he isn't really into the fighting and is amazed by almost anything he sees. He really had a hard life before he met Luffy and had to endure all of it. Also he really likes to investigate things and though his mind wanders off from time to time, like when Luffy catches a huge fish or puts on a weird custome, he is really focused on what he is doing and tries to understand everything. Though he's small and really not in for a fight he turns into a maniac when his nakama are in trouble.

What I also love is that he has so many forms, half of his transformations are hilarious but the other half of them are really cool. I can't describe the feeling I got when he ate to much pills and went on a rampage. But especially after the 2 years of training he just keeps on amazing me.



2. On second I will say Jinbe, also known as Knight of the Sea. First of all he looks totally amazing, I can't describe my love for printed kimonos and in combination with his martial artist look it makes him a total bad-ass. And let's not forget his hair, Jinbe just looks like he came straight out of a myth. And if that's not enough let's look at his attitude, he is really concentrated and relax which also fits the looks. It's always funny how Luffy can break his super-zen by doing something wild and I love Jinbe's "Nani?" face. He was a soldier under Neptune and has full control over his body and mind. And last but not least he can smash anything to bits, only one move of his fishmen-karate can pulverize hundreds of enemies.

3. This was a harsh decision as I love Luffy and Zoro a lot too. But on three I'll say Law, a psychotic medic who plays everything according to plan. His 2H brute-katana that can rip everything open makes him look like a real weirdo in combination with his petshop clothing, it just doesn't make any sense. His power is amazing and he can literally shape the world how he wants it to be. And let's not forget his companion Bepo who is also a candidate for favorite character.
