Reviewed after watching the entire season till completion.
I rarely feel like doing reviews these days, but seeing how averagely this show is rated and it might probably affect it's chances of getting an all important season 2 made me sure of it to sign it's praises.
I had forgotten a time where i could just enjoy the anime without getting sucked into the cliche of thinking of oneself as a anime connoisseur who points out common anime tropes as cliches.
Just because one anime that came first and got away with things that are repeated by other anime with their characters doesn't mean it's a cliche,
...
it is just the way of showing how the tropes work within another world, it's inhabitants and for people who enjoy things like unmei no deai or whatever, putting Iska and Alice together time and again in variety of scenarios and then seeing alice's face glow up blushing, seeing alice fall in love with iska, it's freakin priceless.
This is also where the plot balances things out, while alice being the young lovestruck maiden, iska is a unfazed chivalrous, kind soldier bound to his duties and dream of uniting the world, this also helps alice to remain in check of her duties.
There is a tightly weaved story and carefully kept secrets that will reveal the entirety of the world not with some short backstory or flashback but with more well timed and well written character encounters and unfolding story events.
After years and i mean years, i got to fully enjoy a action anime with chance encounters, fated love, mild harem coupled with strong voice actors, you know who the leads are and who else do they play, they know this gig was awesome to work with and boy did it deliver.
The series packs plenty of action as well, this being a introductory season to the world, setting and characters, you may think that some fights ended abruptly but the thing is the show took it's time to build your excitement for what will be great things to come. I am super stoked to get to see more of this world, for iska to interact with the characters from Sovereignty. To finally see alice meeting iska's entire team together in the same scene. To see our dear Mismis taicho having a safe place for herself after the "spoiler" thing.
On the contrary to what expert pro reviewers think cliche of the finely executed classic anime tropes, i for one refound the inner berserk anime fangirl in me crying, laughing, screaming with blissful joy [ I'm a dude but hey some things are best expressed in their ultimate way of expression].
Judging this show as another Romeo X Juliet trope is unfair, this is common human love when two people on different factions find love, it was there before Shakespeare wrote it and it will be there for eternity, we should be glad and enjoy such amazing heartfelt moments each time we see them than to compare and argue who did it better.
I am an absolute nut for romances in my action anime servings, and with joyous tears in my eyes and with a heavy pounding heart i can't wait for a season 2, so guys please watch the show with a blank mind and experience the tropes for the first time again, you'll know why you feel in love with such anime the first place.
There might be some small and big things i forgot to mention but I'm really happy that you got that and more to experience from this fine creation.
A solid Infinity/10 from me, must watch show for all ages.

"Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo" is one hell of an anime, i am glad it got an equally amazing Studio Deen to work on it. From the ever so glorious Log Horizon to Konosuba, this studio has come so far beyond the depths of a fantasy world, that it will be the go-to studio for such kind of work.
The show produced is a Gag of what a typical heroic tale is & filled with sarcastic, narcissistic, masochistic leads that will make you go WTF with laughter, the women leads of the show are what you call the perfect anime dreamgirls, not only they are
...
like cute, adorable cats but their annoying nature is pretty goddarn cute too.
This is an anime that will make you go gochisousama. So every anime fan should experience this wonderful whatever. I could go on about everything in detail but i want the reader to start this joyride ASAP.
さあようこそこの素晴らしい世界へ

Shokugeki no Soma is THE delicacy served catching me off guard just when i thought anime had nothing to surprise me with.
A anime on cooking seems nothing alluring on the menu but once you have a taste of it, you just can't stop & long after this dish is finished, just a thought of it will send your heart racing, you mouth drooling & dripping for another bite of the next season.
You are served with an amazing story of a boy who by all his heart wants to run his family restaurant and be acknowledged by his father as a worthy chief. But the recipe
...
turns into something marvelous as he has to first contest his skills at Tōtsuki Culinary Academy. A battlefield that would often remind one of watching amazing shows like hell's kitchen and the like.
From the get go there is no room for breather as the thrill escalates from a show of skills to save your diner to wowing the toughest of all food critics. There is no room for breathers. The tense OST during cooking battles and spectacular animation topped with well imagined camera angles make this a exhilarating experience like no other.
The fan service on both sides of the tables can just put critical audience somewhat off but some of it enhances appreciation the characters feel for the dish & rest you can just ignore and appreciate the show for a fine serving that it is.
The faint fragrance of romance can be experience with non-harem but possibilities looming for tsundere or girl next door type scenarios. Rivalries have the ultimate stage in form of the Shokugeki [Cooking battles] and you often have the vibe of a grand wrestling or boxing final but somewhat of robot wars too with the ambiance and setup depending on the arena.
This is a show that packs a punch & a mouthful at that, this is my spice, your spice, THE spice so go taste this Se-se-sexy Curry [yes those are puns, referring to the show's ending themes].

Magical as a Fairy , Mighty as a Dragon !
A Personal review of Fairy Tail :
FT Setting & Story >>>
The story of fairy tail is set in a distant medieval world , the world has a massive scope to it somewhat like Elder Scrolls Skyrim . It is interesting to see trains & magic power flying machines as a part of the world , thankfully it properly blends in the world & it never feels odd , then again these are the Japanese creations we are talking about they do it right most of the time & they did this one all too well .
The
...
story revolves around guilds , missions guild members have to perform to earn their daily bread & revitalize their magika xD . Consider this as a MMO like Guild Wars or RIFT etc.. , it's a treat for fans of Harry Potter always waiting for some wizardry anime action & online RPG gamers will just love the structure & the system at work in the show . The beauty of this show is that , it is not about a single person , the entire guild of Fairy Tail is your protagonist & the idea of the guild being a family is portrayed pretty well . All 4 one & one 4 all .
Animation >>>
The art style is somewhat like One Piece but with a blend of water color style rather than the crayon style OP Uses , this results in some timeless classic landscapes , amazing architectural design of medieval structures , combined with some 14-17 century building designs it's a treat for the architecture nuts . There is a serious tone to the art style rather than a adventurous feel alone , when emotional content comes up this is really noticeable , as you easily understand what the characters are going through & thus can easily sympathize , relate to or care for them.
Audio n Video >>>
The show consist of some amazing songs that suit well with the theme of the show , Faiiry Tail battle theme " Dragon Force " is easily one of the best battle themes in anime history , Takanashi Yasuharu did a exceptional job in helping to add the mythical aura of the medieval age.
Openings such Snow Fairy , Rock City Boys give a perfect idea what you will get from the show , as well as leave you wanting more. Video animation is a real treat & Our talented AMV makers have lot of stuff to play with ^_^
Characters >>>
As i mentioned earlier , the show builds on the idea that people in Fairy Tail are not just members working for cash , they are more than a guild , they are family.
This is shown time & again when the guild faces rivals , foes during testing times , as well as not so mortally wounding situations when emotional problems take over & it feels great to see non skilled fighters helping the troubled person in a way he/she can.
Lucy particularly has a tough life growing up , yet like a typical anime protagonist she puts on a brave face & goes through hell , but how natsu , happy , erza , gray support her makes you want such close connections with your friends . Also she learns from it & becomes a helping person herself .
Enjoyment >>>
You will often find thinking , hey this thing needs to be improved , but as the story progresses they actually do improve on the last issue you had with the series , story is made more serious as it enters season 2 , characters are developed properly , you will immediately notice how the show has grown since you first watched episode 1 . You will be left with a pleasing smile on your face & that really is what matters the most.
My ending note would be , go start the show , it's a anime so it will take some episodes to pick up , but after episode 25 it really picks up the pace , show patience & you will be rewarded with a classic of a lifetime.

A Great new take on pirates
Story >>>
The story of this anime is what really amazes me , the final objective is to become the pirate king that may leave you to think this will be the same old same old like beating pirate crews etc but if you think like that then you have another thing coming as the story of One Piece is deep & the focus on each character & their story is good.
Animation >>>
The animation is good & gives a really nice action adventure feel to the series , due to the art style used it may lack a bit of seriousness
...
at times that you would get in many anime with dark style of animation like one seen in Full Metal Alchemist , but this was the best style for the series & i can't see any other style of animation working well for the series
Sound >>>
I Love the sound in One Piece , especially the specific themes that build you up for the moment , like the Overtaken theme that lead you up to big fights & Run Away theme when Luffy manages to escape from the enemy swiftly
Characters >>>
Not all anime show importance of each person no matter how lame you think he may be , One Piece Assigns roles to each characters who also have their dreams or ambitions to fulfill as their story progresses , even the minor characters that you think will go away in some time will have a major part to play in the story , you will like even those weird looking characters & be touched emotionally if something bad happens to them
Enjoyment >>>
I Really enjoyed watching this anime so much that at times i think man how awesome it would be if i was was alive back a few centuries ago & roam the sea with my friends instead of robbing people , this new take on pirates is simply awesome
Final Verdict >>>
This anime series is what makes your anime experience complete you simply can't miss this series.

Story >>>
Firstly story is awesome but has some minor setback & those to due to some more than needed fillers , but anyway i being a really big fan of ninjas like it very much , Don't think too much & just go for it , those who do think too much of the story just end up finding flows , i can find major flaws in series like FMA also but then again i just accept the series for it offers
One thing i like is , unlike One Piece Naruto has properly divided the story in intervals , so you may expect any big
...
saga to last a proper 30-40 episodes max , whereas in one piece i used to get bored with each saga lasting 60+ episodes that was too annoying
Animation >>>
It is definitely great but the characters could have been made too look like real ninjas , i somehow don't like that characters don't cover up their faces with masks , this is rather related to drawing ut anyway since there isn't a drawing rating thing i am writing this here , apart from that the animation in fight scenes is especially awesome with all the chakara effects , in chidori & rasengan
Sound >>>
Well the flute sound effects are just too awesome & it's been 3 years now since i started watching naruto & still the flute sound effects for the good guy characters are way too awesome than any soundtrack i ever heard
Characters >>>
Now you will be annoyed by some of the young characters but it overall i feel please use the japanese voice , as i feel VIZ Have not done justice to the character of naruto , because of his screeching voice , the fat chick that did his dubbing should be fired , i like the English dub apart from that & yeah you will be more attached to the characters as the story progresses , if you don''t believe me , i guarantee that those of you who look for emotions in anime will like Chouji once you see episodes from 130 - 135 , other characters also grow on you once the series progresses , one thing i would like too point out is i hate Alphonse elric from fma coz he is too annoying with his goody goody attitude in even the darkest situation like not killing homonculus even if they are killing people elrics love , but in naruto i did not find any character who does not understand the situation & act totally different in a irritating manner , so yeah characters are really good
I Personally like characters who i can idolize & who encourage me , as these are the people who can do no wrong & so i like to look up to them instead of real life people who have some dirt on them always , with that said Naruto is the perfect person to look up to as a role model especially when he grows up in shippuden , but that is a different tale
Enjoyment >>>
It is a perfect blend of action , comedy & knows when to relieve you from all the action & knows how to boost your excitement with memorable fights , so be sure that when you watch this anime you will never regret viewing it
