10 Anime TV Shows That Are Perfect For Beginners

8. One Piece

Originally released in Japan in 1999, One Piece follows the crew of the Going Merry, a gang of Pirates led by their captain Monkey D. Luffy.

After the death of the King of Pirates, Monkey and his crew set out on the East Blue Sea in search of the legendary One Piece, a treasure of unknown proportions that€™s available to whoever finds it first.

Why It€™'s Perfect For Beginners: Though there are a lot of episodes, 725 to be precise, One Piece is extremely accessible. The animation is great, there€™s plenty of humour and energy, and the premise is simple and easy to understand. I€™m not sure I can recommend watching the entire series from start to finish, but it€™s the kind of thing that you can jump in and out of whenever the mood takes you. No prolonged investment required.
