Fairy Tail
| I never got the concept of shipping in the first place. |
  Rarity is Best Pony! |
| Because there are a lot of characters who are ship-teased constantly, and the fandom like to do that things. |
 |
| shippings such a little kid word, i just think of wierd 12 year olds on DA when i hear it |
| Shugo Chara has a lot of shippers in the fandom because who the main character believes she loves the most isn't the same person as who the majority of the audience wants her to be with. Like Shugo Chara, Fairy Tail also has a main cast with about equal numbers of both sexes and all of them are attractive so there are a lot of opportunities for straight pairings in addition to yuri/yaoi ships and mythical harems. |

Illyricus- said: Because there are a lot of characters who are ship-teased constantly, and the fandom like to do that things. Yep. Whilst watching the series, you'll see that a lot of people in Fairy Tail are actually made to appear and act like a couple. Natsu and Lucy being a primary example of the case. I can imagine that people quite like how Natsu is always there for Lucy and so they'd like to see them as a couple. If this scene didn't scream it out with blaring horns it then I don't know what will. |

| Because the ship sailed better than the anime. |
 |
| Hard to say I guess it's because there are just so many characters that it makes it very tempting to ship... to bad the most garbage and crappy ship *cough NaLu *cough will end up canon :( |

 |
| Because Mashima does not avoid romance in his works. His previous work, Rave, had working romances, and FT is no different. Lucy/Natsu and Gray/Juvia are pretty much 100% canon pairings. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| I stopped watching fairy tail after about 10~ episodes due to it being boring as shit But I still enjoyed reading the Natsu x Lucy ship. I did the same for Naruto with Sakura x Sasuke. I just couldn't be fucked to watch the rest of the show so I read a summary about their relationship development Shipping is serious business |
| Because it's one of the few shounen series that is upfront with their relationships and actually has a chance to develop them. Most of the ships are trash though especially GrayxJuvia. The only ones that I like are ErzaxJellal and MavisxZeref. |

| Am I the only FT fan that hates NaLu? I utterly despise that ship and I feel like I'm the only one. #ErLuMasterRace |

|
| Well at least some couples actually have moments. Like Gajeel and Levy, you see how Gajeel changes after he joins FT and how Levy changes too after all that happened between them. And some others too. So unlike Naruto where some couples just popped out of nowhere, here it's teased yes, but they do have good moments together. |

| People who say they dont ship they're lying, it comes as something natural, you're watching an anime, you get invested in the charecters and start thinking, well these two could be good as a pairing, in that moments you start shipping. I dont know why people see shipping like something bad, you know you can love the story appreciate it and everything and ship, why not? it makes watching anime more great. |

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| They even ship this two. |

Saying that everyone 'ships' a potential relationship in an anime because they think that could end up being a good couple, would be wrong. For one to ship, they would need to endorse the relationship. There may be countless of characters in an anime whom I think could end up being a good couple, however what if I don't necessarily care whether they end up together or not? Does that still mean that I ship them? No, of course not, because acknowledging that there's potential for relationship is not the same as supporting a relationship. |

| There's definitely more ships in fairy tail than there is in One Piece. |

It deppends what your definition of "ship" means, if for you shipping is screaming and dying whenever you see the couple you like together, then of course you`re right, but for me shipping also means just liking a pairing whether you care or not that they end together at the end. |

| Why are so many people bothered by shippers? Seriously, it's their ship. How does it affect you? |

AltoRoark99 said: They can be really insistent with their shippings. Especially when they spam it to your face:Why are so many people bothered by shippers? Seriously, it's their ship. How does it affect you?  Anyway, I'm also a shipper in some series, so nothing wrong with shipping. |

| Maybe I'm not with the times, but in my experience, every anime has those who ship characters to some extent. I imagine more popular animes would see this (and everything else really) more due to more people being exposed to it. It could be possible of course for the content of the anime to intentionally or unintentionally though. On a personal note, I usually find myself shipping characters who are on opposite sides of issues or have a lot of displacement from one another in general. I find the stories of how "it" happens much more interesting. Hehe~ |

I just find it surprising, since most of the battle shounens I've seen rarely ever have any actual change between their characters, outside of power levels. Fai said: You do realize that Mashima's previous manga ended with a ? I haven't read it, so no. Same response given to Illyricus applicable here too; I rarely have seen any character dynamics change in battle shounens. This comes as quite surprising lol. |

| I don't like FT very much but Erza X Natsu is master race . |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |

| I think Fairy Tail is like the only Shounen anime with that much romance in it.There are a lot of moments with characters and that's why people ship it.Hiro Mashima also likes it too draw two characters sometimes.Most of the pictures looks pretty romantic somehow and the manga and anime have a lot of moments between two characters. |
 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
| I've always seen shipping as being a think fat geeky women are into. Usually guys don't really care. |
