Fairy Tail OVA

Some of the funniest lols you'll see in a long time. Kind of like taking all the small gags over 40 episodes, and lumping them together into two OVA's. WIN!

I love the in-OVA jokes (Aries, and Happy + Charles in second OVA) and that FT isn't afraid to poke fun at itself. A certain moment in OVA 2 involving three guys + Erza did a lot to lighten my feelings towards recent storylines in the FT anime.

The first OVA is a bit up and down in the funny stakes in comparison to the second, but still had me crying with laughter. Both OVA's are a ... bit coarser than usual (nudity, nosebleeds) but always relevant. Suprisingly moving towards the end, which shouldn't really be suprising considering that FT has done that before.

The second OVA is my favourite for the sheer amount of FT gags in an alternate universe. No real magic in this world? No problem! Special props to whoever came up Gray and Natsu's "magic power" substitutes.

I just watched the second OVA in raw. It was better than the first one to me. It's just the fact that Fairy Tail is the funniest of all fighting-shonen Anime to me and all those jokes packed into one episode is a way to go.

I think the first OVA was more for fanservice and I didn't enjoy it that much because I jmissed the male characters, who weren't doing....very much. But yet I still think the first OVA was good because it was funny.

As already stated I think the second OVA was better as the first. they made a little review of what ... happened already, while wrapping a classic Gakuen-World around the main characters. Also the character development was more balanced and there was a small fight.

For the rating:
Story: 8, because the OVA doesn't have a story,w hich is meant to be catching but still it has one
Art: 8, cause I think some of the animations could have been less chibi-like
Sound: 10, because the voice cast, as well as opening and ending are outstanding!
Character: 10, because every Character appeard somewhere and all of them had their special moments.
Enjoyment: 10, because (sorry to say it like that) I laughed my ass off)
Overall: 9

These OVAs are-for what they're trying to do-great. There certainly isn't anything groundbreaking, or anything that will keep you thinking about it days or weeks later, but it is solidly Fairy Tail. If you like the fan service in Fairy Tail, you will love these (especially the first, fourth, and last). If you like the humor in Fairy Tail, you will love these.

Basically, these are slightly longer filler episodes, with the second one an AU setting (they're all in high school, without any magic) and the third one a nifty little time-traveling adventure, which also managed to squeeze in a little character development.

The art ... and sound weren't anything memorable, but didn't distract by being terrible either. Very middle ground in my opinion. The story, being filler episodes, was a way to throw in jokes they probably couldn't fit into the main show.

TL;DR-If you like Fairy Tail, watch these. If you didn't, don't.

WELL, it is again OVAs from one the best Shonen Anime series. Before we start, i want to mention, what is the best time to watch which episode, so that you may enjoy the whole Fairy Tail series to the fullest.
Short Story, After the Oracion Seis Arc which is episode 68 you must watch the first 3 Episodes of this OVA, then continue with the Daphne Arc until the start of Grand Magic Games Arc, watch episodes 151 and 152 after them it is perfect time for OVA 4 the Beach Training, after this episode continue with the Touranment Arc up to midpoint Episode 170 ... is the last, after it you must watch the Fifth and Last Episode of this OVA. after you completed this OVA continue watching the series till the End of Magic Tournament Arc episode 201 after it, start watching the Fairy Tail OVA (2016) episodes, about them in their review.
Now stories in thise OVA are good, the just go to the other side, and show you how our beloved characters could look like in completely other situations which are not typical for the series.
Like expected from Fairy Tail the Art, is really good.
This OVA are an amazing choice, to just watch and relax.
It's a true must watch.

A pretty unexpected amount of fanservice, but then again I don't know what I was expecting. Usually anime OVA are bonuses for buying the home media release, so it's not uncommon to see just a bunch of beach episodes, hot springs, or any excuse to get the female cast showing as much skin as possible. It was just a little surprising to see it from something that's easy to just view as a kid's show.

A couple episodes seem like they could canon material and have some interesting lore about the world or some of the characters, but the high school slice of life parody is ... obviously not one of them. It just plays on a lot of Fairy Tail story beats while shifting the genre. When it's not doing that or any interesting lore it's your standard OVA stuff where characters get undressed with flimsy reasoning or dressed in cosplay or what have you.

If you really like Fairy Tail for some reason I guess you'll get about as much enjoyment from this as the main show. I give it an average 7/10
