Review of Fairy Tail

Fairy tail is in a lot of peoples eyes hot garbage, and while some complaints i fully agree with like Gildarts essentially being shanks but way cooler and the constant plot armour for even tiny side characters. But through all of that Fairy tail is something special to me and a lot of people. The show captivated me from the beginning, the music, characters, fun and emotional scenes, adventures you name it it was special and it forever will be to me. We have to be the single most bullied fanbase in anime right up there with Naruto and sao which just isn't a goodplace to be but i believe that people hate on fairy tail a little to much and today I'm hoping you'll give the anime a shot.

(BEWARE I AM A FAN BOY BUT IVE TRIRED TO BE UN-BIAS)

Story:

The story consists of dragons, a rich and beautiful world with so much to explore, wars, giant explosive fights, adventure, memorising backstories and most importantly the fairy tail guild which acts as out main character through out all of the story. Throughout every arc there's so much to love and enjoy whether its; character interactions, cool villains, power ups and one piece level backstories such as erza's and Wendy's. Though throughout all of this there's bound to be some negatives since nothing is perfect of course. Some characters never serve any purpose to the plot whatsoever which is of course the main downside of having a large cast. Only about 10 characters in the fairy tail guild are fully utilised in the main 328 episodes. And though the fillers do make these characters feel part of the story and is the main reason you should watch filler its still a bummer that there not really in the main plot. World building is anougher issue that has been fixed in 100 year quest but the main series still struggles with this to a annoying degree. We only really visit a few capitals and some random country sides, this sucks but thankfully the story is so good in general that you really just forget about it.

7/10

Characters:

This anime is the sole reason i absolutely love a great cast of characters. Because even though most side characters don't play a big role in the story often acting as pawns defending while natsu finishes of the bad guy they still all feel alive in this universe and i absolutely adore that i can remember even filler characters at a tiny glance. It proves that Mashima knows how to write great characters but also shows that he cant make them more important. I understand that not every character can be a huge part of the story but in the beginning it really feels like all of fairy tail is connected to the bigger picture somehow. Characters never got annoying apart from that one scene in the final alvaraz empire arc where Juvia somehow didn't die from a lethal wound while simaltainiosly managing to save grey while she was essentially dead. Overall characters are the main focal point around fairy tail and it only makes it better that they all get different outfits each arc which is rare in anime,

10/10

Audio/VA's:

All 26 op's are beautiful, they fully capture what fairy tail is and there the ops that started my addiction to overanalysing every op i come across. Each track and the visuals that go with it are amazing and especially the final op with Acnologia and Natsu's face off with the hopeful yet intense music, as well as seeing the absolute destruction that Acnologia and the spriggen 12 created and the state that our characters are in after the fighting is over. Its poetic and everything about the ops are fantastic except for one... Op 9 can suck my balls. The voice actors are fantastic and I'm not just saying that because i love fairy tail i mean that from a unbiases standpoint. I still find it weird that a main villain in the tartaros arc voices Tadano in Komi but that's just me probably. Every VA never gets old and i can memorize a characters voice in my head and there character with there last name that how good of a match the VA's are.

9/10 (because op 9 sucks)

Overview:

Fairy tail is something that's special to me, i will die on this hill and defend fairy tail till the day i die. It has its floors just like one piece has its own floors and any other anime for that matter but the pros heavily outweigh the cons and i urge you, please give fairy tail a chance. Thank you for reading
