Review of Fairy Tail

I watched Fairy Tail without having read any manga nor having any knowledge of it's theme or plot prior to starting the series. What got me interested in it was very simple and had nothing to do with what the series is about - I watched it because I found out one of my favorite avex trax artists, BoA sang an opening song for the 2014 sequel of the series. I started before the song was release, it was only just announced. I have to say that I'm glad I decided to watch the show. I didn't know what to have expected but it was surelyinteresting. I'll say this. The ideas for the plots for the different arcs in this anime are surely interesting. As for the execution, that's a bit iffy. Why? Because I have to admit that it can get really cheesy at times. But it's the method that makes the characters grow on you, so when something devastating happens you feel it. You have to embrace this anime for what it is. It goes through the typical rise and fall, where the bad guy beats up good guy, then good guy comes back stronger and beat up bad guy with the power of friendship and perseverance, etc. I bet many would find that too cliche and redundant, but like I said, to enjoy this you have to embrace this for what it is. And that is what I did. I never read manga or knew anything about it prior, so it wasn't very difficult for me to do so. I didn't have any expectations whatsoever.

Once you do this, however, you will see the excellent stories and how they come together. At first I felt the show was a bit childish for me then I realized it became way more interesting and intense and had me thinking and crying and laughing. One thing about this show that stands out to me is that EACH character (and this is no exception) has a particular behavioral trait that is unique to them and I found this very interesting. There are SO many characters this anime it's ridiculous, but it's good to have and maintain a sense of variety.

When you get into this anime you wont be able to help but root for the protagonists. Their sense of individuality is also what kept me continuously watching. LOL Also, it took me to the end of the show to realize that Lucy was the main character hahahaha.
