No, it isn't. It may be inspired in part by One Piece, but just because two different things have similar elements doesn't make one a rip-off of the other.

What, that's all you can come up with and you think they're the same? Do you believe that the moon landing was filmed in a hanger in arizona? Do you think Obama wasn't actually born in the US?

They share many similar ideas or themes, and they have somewhat similar character arch-types, but that does not make FT a rip-off. It's not as good as One Piece, but it is a pretty good shounen series.

Nothing can be as good as One Piece
If Fairy Tail had to be a rip-off from a manga, it would be Hiro Mashima's previous work, Rave (or groove master rave)
Many of the characters of basically identical, and some of the things that happen are nearly copied picture by picture, but both are quite cool in their own way

Yea, I agree. Fairy tail is way too dramatic, rofl... I hate when its compared to one piece because I just don't see it. Fairy Tail is a major drag and its very stupid. I watch it just to watch something but its not very entertaining. Its very predictable and if anyone saw the last arc, I mean come on, lol. The fights were just, "I WONT GIVE UP" they get destroyed and suddenly become full of energy... i mean come on? seriously...

It's more like a mix of all shonen cliches with a one piece-like art style so it's not really ripping off One Piece in particular.

I noticed fairy tail takes a lot out of the structure of one piece, like how all the characters have a tragic past and how those past are revealed through an arc based on each character.

If i remember correctly they both used to work with each other as assistent in some point of their careers. What looks like rip off might be just both influencing each other.

Not, they never work together! Oda was Samurai X assistant, while Mashima was never an assistant in his life. Oda never went to any manga/art school(He quit in the first year of university and I believe it wasn't even in a manga/art course). Mashima I don't know,but probably went in some kind of manga school!.

I wouldn't call rip-off, but is certain that Mashima is in the limit of taking to much inspiration!

Note: Some examples are anime only, where nor Oda nor Mashima have part on it, so in that case people are saying that even the anime produces copy each other?

Fairy Tail does not even come close to how great One Piece is. One Piece is the best adventerous show ever around anime wise imo. It's one or the longest running anime period correct?

I recommend everyone go out and pick up the funimation dubbed dvd version. Their currently on season 5 voyage 3 of the FUnimation dubbed dvd version. Also I recommend everyone go pick up a copy of Michiko & Hatchin as well. It's by the same people that made Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo.

Also there is a comedy anime coming out in 2014 called Space Dandy that is supposed to me 80% comedy and 20% drama from the same people that made Cowboy Bebop.

One Piece is not even close of being the longer anime series running! Is at the 18 position(if you separate different seasons as different shows. Ex: Naruto being a different series than Naruto Shippuden), with series like:
Sazae-san - more than 2250 episodes
Doraemon - more than 1787 episodes
Anpanman - more than 1170 episodes
Chibi Maruko Chan - more than 980 episodes
Crayon Shin-Chan - more than 870 episodes
Detective Conan - more than 711 episodes
Ninja Hattori - more than 690 episodes

One Piece has only 617 episodes.

18 out of 10,000 is pretty high up. I at least wouldn't jump on him for saying it is one of the longest running anime because it basically is.

Rip-off or not, doesn't make any difference. One Piece still shits on Fairy Tail in terms of story and characters. A heavy shit I say.

You must be ignorant. It being tagged as an ecchi means it will have ecchi not fanservice. Fanservice is something that doesn't need to be there but is there to service the fans, it doesn't have to be sexual. So if they see some of the ecchi scenes as fanservice, that means they see them as unnecessary, which is a valid criticism. Also the anime doesn't have the ecchi tag.

I started up One Piece immediately after I caught up on Fairy Tail, and I'll admit back then I was noticing striking similarities - although not for the reasons you've mentioned. Mainly it was the themes and story structure that made me start to see FT in a negative light. I recently got around to finally finishing FT and although it seems fairly apparent that it was influenced by OP, Fairy Tail just seems more like a typical, run of the mill battle shounen than a blatant rip-off. I still prefer OP leagues above FT, but I'll at least acknowledge that FT has its own thing going for it.

Although Shanks to Gildarts always makes me laugh, that one is way too obvious.

I don't know what you're trying to say. Ecchi=Fan service. If a manga is an ecchi it will have fan service. Going into an ecchi manga/anime and not expecting pantyshots and boobs is stupid.
The anime is obviously going to contain some fanservice since it's adapted from an ecchi manga. There is a lot less than there is in the manga though.

Ecchi =/= fanservice. Fanservice is often sexual fanservice but it can be violence, comedy, the appearence of a character, explosions, etc as long as it's something added to please the fans. It is not only sexual and an anime can be an ecchi or even a hentai but not have any fanservice as long as the sexual things are relevant to the story or purpose of the anime. While it would be hard to find some like that, they can and do exist.

And to a point, someone can go into a comedy anime expecting comedy but not like the comedy or how it is used in that particular anime, it's basically the same. That it has ecchi doesn't seem like valid criticism, but saying there's too much or you don't like how it was used works. And like I said someone viewing Fairy Tail's anime page wouldn't know that it's an ecchi because that tag is only on the manga. People don't check the manga tags of anime they are going to watch as if the anime is a direct adaptation then it would have the same and if things were changed then it may not. There are some anime and manga where because of their differences one tag would fit in one but not the other. I've even heard that the anime cut out some ecchi in the beginning(maybe why it doesn't have the tag) but then added more later on in the series(like the bikini contest in the tournament).

Can't tell if you're serious. With Naruto as your favorite manga rated at a 10(aka masterpiece) and the two Naruto series rated at 8s(aka very good). And how much have you watched of One Piece?

I don't see how being ecchi means that pointless boobshots are justifiable. It's an action first, an ecchi second.... or at least, that was how it's supposed to be. Pointless boobshots are the only reason it's still alive.
