Review of Fairy Gone

I have not written any reviews, and there is a reason this is my first one. I was SO excited for this when I saw the main theme and the art styles and the first episode, was pretty solid and really got me excited for this series. So perhaps it got me too excited. Story: let's jump around time for the first 6 episodes for flashbacks of characters that are mentioned only once. And then try to have all these majorly important characters explained only by text at the top of the screen saying who they are. And the last episode? Worst in any anime I haveever watched. I understand that there will be a part 2, but that last episode wasn't a cliffhanger. It was showing people an empty bottle of story, and then walking away from it the already bad nothingness that is the story.

And the Fairies themselves? There was more about the artificial ones than the real badass ones, whats up with that?! And don't get me started on the damn books. They should have done 24 episodes for part 1, and then 24 for part 2. They tried cramming way too much into 12 episodes, and it made it shit.

Art: Bloody amazing, holy cow. The saving grace. Beautiful art. And with that I will add the fight scenes with fairies in them. Amazing, I am obsessed with the concept of the fairies, and the way you fight with them, and not made too overpowered in the sense that when injured, you cannot use them right away after. So really, fairy concept themselves, wonderful. And the creativity and artwork used with them is spectacular.

Sound: It's definitely a love hate from reviews that I have seen, and I am one of the few in between I think. Some of the songs were annoying as shit, and some matched perfectly, and the occasional that I was just meh. The sound was fine.

Character: NO.DEVELOPMENT. No one progressed, everyone is the exact same as when they were introduced, the main character literally learned 1 thing in 12 episodes, and it was the most cliche and obvious shite ever. It happened, they tried to make it dramatic, and it was awkward for me to watch that. It was like watching someone throw a paper airplane at a wall. Saw it coming, knew it would hit it, would crash, nothing further, life moves on. They could have at least thrown in some obvious romance, they tried it a couple times, got me interested like hey, maybe they will aaaaand nope back to coworker office relationship where you can only say hello to each other.

Enjoyment: 5 of the 6 points I gave were from the art, primarily in the form of the fairies and their fighting, and 1 point goes to Sweetie.

Overall: Basically what I said for enjoyment. This show had the potential and something insanely unique with the fairies, and decided to cram a couple seasons into 12 episodes. 4/10. Seems appropriate, thank you art for capturing me to bear with the 12 episodes.
