Review of Fairy Tail

Do you want to see an anime with the worst fillers since Naruto? Do you love characters with so much plot armor that they survive everything? Is an anime with overpowered fire breathing mages, driven by nakamapower your thing? Are you a fan of a heroine whose most significant characteristic is... her boobs (literally, she's useless). This overpraised battle-shounen has been made for you. ~Story~ 3/10 This anime has nothing that's original, nothing. It seems to be a combination of One Piece (nakamapower), Naruto (stupid fillers), Highschool DxD (boobs) and a little bit of Mars of Destruction (the awesome and original characters). Our story starts with LucyHeartfilia, who's some weird kind of Pokemon master (with big boobs like we already mentioned). She's not strong. Or smart. Or anything at all. But what she can do, is pretending to be pretty while being saved by her friends. She then meets Natsu, our favorite fire breathing plot-armored motion-sickened retard (seriously, does this guy even have a brain?). He's an annoying combination of Luffy and Naruto. He has one new aspect: motion sickness. He gets a lot of random power-ups because of... well, plot convenience. Natsu is a member of Fairy Tail, a magic guild which only causes trouble, but which hasn't been suspended by the council yet, for some reason (the council is totally useless in this anime anyway). He takes Lucy to Fairy Tail, and she joins their guild. They then embark on a journey to find... Natsu's father. Who's a dragon. (Yes we know, this anime doesn't know logic and it clearly doesn't know the story of the birds and bees either, deal with it) They get into trouble several times, and in each of these a sad past of a Fairy Tail member is revealed. Because if you don't have a sad backstory, you can't join Fairy Tail. Watch our characters take on a much stronger opponent every arc, but still defeating them after a nakama speech. Also, watch some really interesting villains turn good after a battle (seriously, we could give you a ton of examples of this in this anime). And then comes our main villain... Zeref. And watch him... whine? Why is he even here? He doesn't serve any purpose, right? I thought they were looking for dragons? Do they find the dragons? Will Zeref ever stop whining? Watch this anime to find out. Oh wait. You won't find out. Maybe in the sequel, bitch. For real though, the premise of this seems promising. The first arcs were actually okay and the world building was fine, but they decided to use the same formula over and over and OVER again. The pacing was pretty bad at some points too. If the magic had been more interesting and was explained more, it could have been a lot more enjoyable. But after some time, the story just wasn't interesting anymore. It was repetitive, and the characters made no progression in achieving their main goal at all.
[CONCLUSION]
The story was weak, and full of nakama power. Just what we needed. It was also repetitive after the fifth arc or so. This anime is so popular, and the fanbase is so large, but why? There are way better shone anime out there, this anime is average at best. The premise was interesting, but everything turned into a mess with our heroes defeating the "extremely powerful" villains over and over and over again... very entertaining, especially after the tenth time.

~Art~ 7/10
The art of this show is pretty good. It looks like a magical shounen anime's animation. Exactly what it is. The animation changed over the years, the animation of the first episodes is really different from the animation of the last episodes. Especially the character designs of the women, their boobs grew every 10 episodes or so. Great job creators, is this show aimed at horny teens or something? The animation is colorful, and let's be honest, the battles look pretty awesome now and then. The animation isn't very special, it's quite generic, but not ugly.
[CONCLUSION]
The animation is plain but it serves its purpose.

~Sound~ 7/10
Fairy, where are you going... Yeah. Most of the openings in this anime were pretty decent (and catchy too). They were a bit too happy to our liking though. But you shouldn't rely on our opinion too much, taste in music is very subjective after all. The OST's in this anime were actually good. They matched the scenes and they were easily recognizable as Fairy Tail OST's. The endings were okay too, though nothing special.
[CONCLUSION]
The music in this show was pretty decent. The best aspect of this show in our opinion.

~Characters~ 2/10
This cast is so original. Nope. We have an overpowered, nakama motivated, plot-armored hero and he has a cute animal as a sidekick. The main heroine is weaker than the main hero (again: so original), she also has big boobs (this is like the 847394th time we're saying this) and she is constantly saved by everyone. She also gets a lot of random power-ups, because this is a generic magic battle shounen. We also have Gray, Natsu's rival... VERY original. Oh, and before we forget: he likes stripping, because man service is exactly what this show lacked. Yes, this cast sucks. But then there's our savior Erza. Oh wait, no. She's a tsundere who always fights with the main characters. But then she also has a sweet side and has a weird obsession for cake. And last but not least, a cute loli, who is totally useless: Wendy. She has one of the most annoying sidekicks ever: Charles. There are a few interesting characters (hence the 2/10), e.g.: Mirajane, Gajeel and Laxus. But they didn't get a lot of screen time, and the rest of the characters were just generic and boring.
And may I have your attention for... the worst cast of villains ever created! Our first serious villain turns out to be Gray's adopted brother and... turns good. Our second villain didn't turn good, but his henchmen did. Welcome to Fairy Tail, Gajeel and Juvia. Our third villain actually kills someone... and turns good after that. And the guy we're talking about REFUSES to die, because he just keeps appearing. Another villain, Laxus... also turned good. It's not even funny anymore. Oh, yeah, we almost forgot about the main villain: Zeref. Who's a whiny retard that does absolutely nothing in these 175 episodes. Worst villains ever.
[CONCLUSION]
Hahaha. This cast is so bland and boring. We didn't care at all about these generic characters. And the villains are on a whole new level of stupidity; everyone turns good (or in a love interest). This cast is really bad, the only characters that were well-developed were Mirajane and Elfman (the problems with getting over a certain traumatic experience), but this show is called Fairy Tail, so the makers decided to bring a certain person back. Good job!

~Enjoyment~ 5/10
Especially during the first arcs, this show was quite enjoyable. The story was neither deep nor really interesting, but the jokes were funny, and over-all it just was something light to watch. But when the story progressed, it got so repetitive. A simple repetitive story + horrible characterization = Fairy Fail. (Sorry, I couldn't contain myself) However, we do disagree with those who scored this show a 1/10, because that's not fair. This show definitely isn't good, but it's not a 1/10 when it's below average. It has some promising concepts and the animation and music were decent. It's just that it could have been so much more. However, we disagree with both the diehard fans and the diehard haters.
[CONCLUSION]
This could have been good, if it didn't get so repetitive. But it is what it is: an under-average boring magical battle shounen. If you love this genre, or dislike good anime, then you might like this show, but if you prefer something with decent characters and a good story, then watch something else (some personal recommendations: Fullmetal Alchemist, HunterxHunter, Gintama). So please know that you'll be wasting your time if your expectations of this show are high. It's your own time, so we can't tell you what to do, but we recommend you to not watch this anime filled with boobs, nakama motives and blue flying cats. Peace.
