Long story short: Was listening to music, heard something vaguely sea-shanty-esque, and am now in a piratical* mood.
So, yeah, what's everyone's favorite (visual) pirate media?
Actually, although right now I'm in the mood for visual media, feel free to throw out any written/audio recommendations as well!
Cheers, and hope everyone is still having a good one!
* Good fucking word, by the way. Piratical is a Hall of Fame contender.
Got another song for ya.
Somebody already mentioned One Piece - I actually prefer Fairy Tail (less filler, plot moves more quickly)
That said, the recent OP live-action is an absolute breath of fresh air in the adaptation department and tears right through the plot while still hitting all the right notes.
Pretty sure the manga author held the whole deal hostage on getting an executive producer role, and that shines through: no "updates for a new, modern audience that we'll pander into existence," just a competent execution for the loyal, core, existing fanbase that's already there, willing and waiting (gee what a concept).
Outside suggestion that's become more obscure over the decades: Outlaw Star for pirates in space. Sort of the neglected younger sibling of Cowboy Bebop (same studio, same year and everything)
