Review of Fairy Tail

I know Fairy Tail isn't over, and that it is coming back on April of this year but I really wanted more than a review, to share my taughts about this show. Fairy Tail is about Lucy, a 17 year old mage, who wants to join a famous mages guild called ''Fairy Tail'' While visiting a town, she meets a pink-haired boy named Natsu and his cat, called Happy. It turns out that this boy is member of this guild, and he helps Lucy join. Characters: For me this is one of the strong points in Fairy Tail. There is big variety of unique characters, some loveable,and some not so much, and a great character development of moslty the main characters (Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Erza and Wendy) and some others throught the series. There are various cases in which characters that were enemies of Fairy Tail, became allies, which happened lots of times, and it has become quite repetitive. Regardless, there is a big amount of characters, which makes the anime interesting.

Sound: The soundtrack of this anime is impressive and unique. Most of them, such as the main theme, are of celtic style which is original and outstanding. I think the Fairy Tail Sountracks fit really good with the anime, which makes it more enjoyable.

Story: The center of this anime is magic. It is used in a different way that we are used to in movies such as Harry Potter, in which they used wands but in this anime they use a sistem called ''Magic Circles''. I really liked seeing all the different styles of magic that exist in that world, and how they used it, it was very cool and enjoyable.

This story has 175 episodes, in which you experience various arcs. We have some arcs for the main characters, which I think that is very positive to get to known them better, and other ones which moslty contain all the guild fighting against an enemy. Regardless the action in the arcs, and the enemies, I think it was fine. I really dislike the ''Nakama Power-Up'' This anime has. What i mean with this, is that in ALL the fights, the character gain forces by thinking about their friends. I think that is better if they gained force by anger, or other more realistic feeling. In this anime one of the most important messages is the family. I think it is good, but it's bad to use that power in all the arcs. It becomes boring and repetitve.

The fights in this anime are good, they have as backround music an awsome fight soundtrack, and some epic scenes. BUT they never lose. They win all the fights which i find very disturbing. Some times is good to see them lose, so they can develop better, and become stronger using that motivation, but as i said that motivation is the family and friends. (They lose at the last arc, but some fights only). Anyways, the enemies of this show are awsome, and most of them have a back story, which helps us to understand them more, and to get to know them better (Which is excellent for me)

Art: I really like the art of this anime, but there are two things that disturb me a LOT. One: The lack of blood in the fights. This anime doesn't contain blood. Which makes the fights more unrealistic. Two: Fanservice. Lately, on the OVA5 and in the last arc, there is a LOT of fanservice. Which is sad because it takes a little bit of the enjoyment of the show. There has always been a little bit of it, but it has become annyoing, specially in the manga.

Taking aside or the bad things about this anime, it is really good. It makes you laugh, you fall in love with a lot of this characters, you may feel bad for some of them, or happy, etc. Im looking foward to see when it comes back, and maybe the bad things about it are corrected.

FINAL SCORE: 8
