Long ago the infamous Gol D. Roger was the strongest and most powerful pirate on the seas. As he was about to be executed he revealed that he hid all of his wealth, including the legendary treasure known as One Piece, on an island at the end of the Grand Line - a treacherous and truly unpredictable sea. Monkey D. Luffy is a spirited, energetic and somewhat dim-witted young man with a very big dream: to find One Piece and become the Pirate King! However Luffy is no ordinary boy, as when he was younger he ate one of the Devil's Fruits and gained its power to become a Rubber Man. Now in this grand age of pirates Luffy sets out to gather a crew and sail to the most dangerous sea in the world so that he can fulfill his dream... and maybe even his appetite!
Toriko and One Piece are ridiculously shounen action-comedy romps set on the sea/small islands with over-the-top stories and absurd characters/animals.
Both are these are hilarious action shounen titles about adventurers traveling to acomplish a special goal. They share the same humor style mixed in with similar shonen action. The main characters, Luffy and Toriko, are also very similar. Fans of one should check out the other.
In a school full of delinquents there’s one badass that stands head and shoulders above the rest, Tatsumi Oga. One day, after seeing a bizarre man floating down the river, Oga gets the shock of his life when the guy splits in half and a baby crawls out, and immediately latches onto him. To make matters worse, a demon named Hildegarde approaches him and informs him that the child he’s suddenly inherited is Beelzebub, the next demon king, and Oga has been chosen to be the baby’s parent – that, and the baby’s cry emits a powerful electric shock that proves fatal if he’s more than 15 meters from the terrifying teen! Now, after discovering that he was only chosen for being strong and vicious, Oga decides to seek out the toughest badass of the lot in the hopes that baby Beelzebub will choose himself a new parent.
Both specials are to introduce a shounen series full of action and awesomeness. These episodes are basically taste testers for people who might be interested in watching the series. Check em both out!
Negishi Souichi always dreamed of joining a trendy pop band, so that he could perform music like that of his idol, Kahimi Karie. In order to realize his dream, he decided to leave the country side and his loving parents to study in Tokyo. And after graduating, he does manage to join a band... but not the kind he was expecting! As lead singer of the death metal band Detroit Metal City, under the stage name Krauser II, he is made to perform loud songs filled with obscene lyrics - a far cry from the songs he used to write in school. But despite the fact that Negishi hates DMC's music, the Krauser side of him will do anything to put on a good show for his fans... even if it means making Negishi's life a misery!
While this recommendation might seem like a strange one at first, both Toriko and DMC are relentlessly funny oddballs in the comedy genre. They are anything but refined, and don't hold back with their jokes in the least (FORK and KNIFE and the manager come to mind). If you liked one of these shows for their wacky sense of humor, don't miss out on the other!

Futuristic Edo is no longer fun for a samurai, especially when the streets are filled with arrogant alien beings. Wielding a wooden bokken, Gintoki refuses to be moved by the invaders and will do whatever it takes to make a quick buck. The unlikely silver-haired hero is late with his rent, as usual, and his rush to avoid his landlady leads him to the sakura blossoms in the park. However, his flower watching and a delightful picnic turns into a violent game of Jan-ken-pon against the Shinsengumi! Can Kagura beat the champion Sougo as Gin tries to out-drink Hijikata, or will rebellious Zura’s giant mecha appearance put an end to all of their fun?
