I only saw the first episode of One Piece; it never really clicked with me. Because of Coby. Pink-headed kid that cowers and gets beat up a lot. I don't like my entertainment with hitting. I don't mind fighting. I don't mind violence. Inu Yasha slicing off bits of the demon-of-the-week is fine by me. Black Jack's disturbingly accurate surgery just adds to the story. But seeing some dude just cringe and get smacked, that disturbs me. I mean the guy is about as high as the other characters' kneecaps and his only role in the episode is to get beat up by as many different people as possible and run around in abject fear of everybody. But anyhow, my brother really likes the series and assures me that Coby goes away after a few episodes.
