Review of Fairy Tail

Have you ever heard that if you judge a fish by its ability to climb on a tree you'd think it's stupid? Many complain about Fairy Tail to the point where its own fans are apologetic for liking it... And I disagree with that. I genuinely thank this author for writing one of my favorite series. Fairy Tail's fights don't really have much technical logic in them. I'd usually tell you that's boring because then you're not really scared, or resonating with the characters through them. The outcome is known, or easily manipulated. But are they boring? No. Not to me. Because every fight in Fairy Tailtells a story. About the characters. About their past. About their present. And sometimes, about their future. About their weaknesses and about what lead them to be who they are. I personally really dislike bullshit. I don't feel at all like Fairy Tail packs bullshit. It very much resonates with my real life experience, from beginning to end. It represents many different things and types of people in this world, and I love it. Watching it and always being reminded of its core message, brings me a warm feeling of what I don't want to ever forget about. I don't want to be distracted by anything, because this world is full of distractions, and the best thing is to have my friends around, and the most beautiful scenarios are the least luxurious ones.

It is clear from early on that magic in this world is affected by and originates from feelings, and that feelings can change it. So. Not mad at all. The way it was used to telling the stories was beautiful and I loved all the different scenes we got to watch. And the creative situations that were built with it, that reflected much deeper things.

I love Fairy Tail's guild. I love the story it tells about every one of its different characters, and about how in a real family anyone can fit in. Fairy Tail's own family had a leader that didn't lead what a family should be, but it returned to being what it was founded from with Makarov, who (tiny spoiler) didn't even believe in himself to be such a good leader.

Fairy Tail, in every part of my life, speaks truth. It doesn't do it in a shabby way, it doesn't come short in its depth. I've cried so many times through this. Every part of this resonated with things I see and have seen around me, and Fairy Tail focused on showing so many different parts of this world, that can be so twisted sometimes, so surprising sometimes. But in the end, exactly like my grandma made my family a Fairy Tail, if you have the modesty and the right mindset, you can live in a Fairy Tail.

I'm thankful to have watched this beautiful series. Please don't be discouraged to watch it.

P.S. I even give it credit for its pacing. Many series these days have a pacing that takes you for an idiot and it's a no no for me
