Review of Fairy Tail

I want to say that I don't find this anywhere near "amazing" or even "good", because it isn't. The start of the episode is good, and understanding the Fairy Tail Guild maybe a bit... difficult, but they're lovable. I find the beginning of Fairy Tail a lot enjoyable up until the Phantom Lord Arc (Reason is that it introduces... other similar traits like the main character, I should say). After that, it was just bring moments after another. It has character knowledge, and I'm perfectly good with that (for example: The reasoning behind Gray stripping). The arcs are not enjoyable after the Phantom Lord Arc, andI cannot put myself to think there are any decent ones.
Overall, there are some arcs that I happened to enjoy (even fillers).

Characters on the other hand... not so much. Natsu (main character) is such a poorly designed character. Lucy is shown to be an interesting character in the beginning of Fairy Tail, but eventually gets turned into a product of Fanservice.
To prevent myself from going on and on, I will have to say the only characters that interests me are: Gray, Master Makarov, and Gajeel.

Allow me to just put up my pros and cons for Fairy Tail:

Pros:
-Amazing soundtracks. I just love it, especially most of them are pleasant to the ears.
-Setting of the story is great. I cannot deny that one.

Cons:
-Plot is horrible. It's just a cliche'd format just like the previous ones, one after another (Natsu/Fairy Tail gets beaten'd by villains, villains lose round 2 by Natsu/Fairy Tail by Nakama Power)
-Poorly designed characters. I don't mind Natsu being an idiot, but man he's way too overpowered. Then Erza, who can use a magic that changes her armor/weapon, has a special armor in her gallery called "Plot Armor".
-The "S**t just got real" moments ruined by stupidity. This alone ruined the potential Fairy Tail had (For example: Natsu faces an opponent, his "friend" does something that triggered him and both of them are fighting each other while Natsu's opponent is literally staring at him).
-Fanservice... this is another reason why Fairy Tail's potential is ruined.

Overall: Fairy Tail needs to have its plot worked on, drop the fanservice and stupid moments (It's one thing if these moments happen in appropriate places, such as the Fairy Tail Hall). Once Mashima can do that, then I can reconsider my opinion. Otherwise, I would highly recommend people to watch/read Nanatsu no Taizai (I guess you could say it's the series that Fairy Tail should have been).
