One Piece & Death Note

I have been watching both Japanese Cartoons recently.
Very interesting. I even feel those cartoons are better than the movies or any TV shows.
The stories are beyond normal imagination.

One Piece started a few years ago. Now is still continuing, already more than 450 episodes. I watched through PPS - a Chinese media player. I'm only up to episode 192, so can take quite a while to get to the current ones. In the episodes I'm currently watching, I noticed that they are talking about 'a missing Golden Island - Shandola' which was flushed to the high sky by wide ocean waves. The island in the air and the people living on the island are so alike the planet Pandora in Avatar! Is the idea of Avatar origined from One Piece?

The Death Note only can be found on Youtube. The image is not as clear as PPS but sound is quite good and it's English dubbed version. Also beyond imagination - Shinigami (Death God), using death notebook to kill someone by just writing the name on it....

No wonder Japan becomes a country of manga. The manga is not only for kids but also for adults, for sure.
