Review of Fairy Tail

Story (1/10) This show has a climatic structured plot. The story is structured simply and it became boring to me because of the overused tropes and bad execution of the plot. To add, the fights are predictable and lack substance. Because of the ''power of friendship' theme which is overused in this show. In terms of pacing, the arcs are rush which made a negative impact on the show. Furthermore, there are no individual elements in the story that have done well. For instance, jokes and fanservice are overused. On the other hand, the ending is not satisfying for the first season as it leavesa lot of plot holes in the story. All in all, the foundation of the story is not well-thought-of and compensates with a lot of fanservice and overused comedy.

Art ( 5/10)

The art throughout the show is generic and lacks consistency. To add, the character designs are not as appealing as they appear to be the same and do not have distinctive features. Furthermore, I do not think the character design fits the story as they appear to be made for fanservice and not to complement the story. But the background animation is quite good and realistic. Generally, in terms of art fairy tail is in average tier if you weight the pros and cons.

Sound (7/10)

The soundtrack of the show is fantastic as it depicts and fits every arc of the story. To add, I think Fairy Tail OSTs is one of the most memorable OSTs in the whole anime industry. On the other hand, I think that the voice actors have done their job properly to convey the character's message throughout the show.

Characters(1 /10)
The characters in the show are one-sided and bland. To add the main character does not have an ounce of development towards the end of the show. For that matter, I did not feel any emotional attachment to the characters. Furthermore, I do not think the characters will be memorable in the future as they do not have any astounding qualities possessed. In conclusion, the characters are one of the weakest aspects of the show as they are one-sided and generic.

Enjoyment ( 2/10)
I do think others will not like this series as the most important aspects of an anime is lacking in Fairy Tail. Namely, the characters and the story. But, I think some will enjoy it for the comedy and fanservice. Furthermore, I think non-anime/manga fans will enjoy this show if they want to casually watch a show for adventure and friendship - which are the most prevalent themes of the show. Lastly, I d not think I will rewatch this show as the story and characters are not well-thought-of.

Overall = 3.2
