I have no friends who like it. Most of them either love Naruto, Bleach or Fairy Tail so I have no one to ever talk about it but the series honestly grew into something really cool. I guess it's because no one expected it cause it's really silly but it has some pretty dark trout going on in the background of its story and most of the cast have some pretty messed up pasts. People over here hate it because it isn't serious and it's art direction is a turn off but honestly it gets pretty good and I like the fact it has yet to fall into DBZ creep like the rest of the Shonen Series where people are pulling off secret techniques and special forms constantly in battles to drag them out, and all the abilities blow up cities and planets. The creator has a done a great job of sticking to the rock/paper/scissor mechanics of Devil Fruit power and also making sure Luffy and company feel like they are growing naturally. There is an entire Arc in the series dedicated to showing you that Luffy and crew are completely out of their league against the series real monsters and it was fabulous.

I also love JoJo's Bizarre Adventure cause it is absolutely Fabulous and ridiculous like so:
