   HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAnoyou'renot. Not if you think it's "safe" for an   
   8-year-old. You're familiar with *THE DUB*, which is EXCESSIVELY watered   
   down and edited and censored. One Piece is an EXTREMELY violent series, with   
   lots of blood and guns and death. Oh, and a lot of sexual humor too.

   For a child THAT young? Uh...nothing, basically. MAYBE Sailormoon, but even   
   that is a bit violent and mature.
