This is a pretty alright song with a pretty horrible music videos. The music video consists of a girl dancing in a church. Her face is expressionless and the choreography is weird. I think this may have made use of motion capture technology because there's really no other excuse to be outdone by random MMD youtubers to this extent. The video also includes a bunch of random effects ranging from lighting, lights, lasers to fire and random shapes overlaid onto the video. The effects kind of feel like someone tried to make the expressionless dancing more watchable but they went way over the top and
...
it just looks weird.
Overall the song can be nice but the video is a dumpster fire and not worth watching.

This is an isekai powerfantasy, if that's what you're into then you'll probably like this anime. If you aren't then there's really no reason to watch this.
The story is: Man dies, gets reincarnated in a fantasy world, gets adopted and taught magic and sword fighting by the most talented wizards and a sword master, becomes the best at magic in the world and then attends magic school. The main quirk of the story is that the main character, while extremely skilled in magic, has no normal life skills and, because he was raised away from society, does not understand how much stronger he is
...
than the rest of the world. Ironically enough the fact that this is an isekai detracts from this quirk because the anime establishes that the main character retained the memories from his previous life and you'll be hard pressed to convince me that a normal Japanese salaryman does not have normal life skills. Aside from this the story is mostly acceptable but nothing worth writing home about.
The characters aren't great and most are stereotypes that mainly exist for comedic relief. Their interactions feel artificial and I did not enjoy watching them talk. The only character with any development was the main villain whose backstory came up but that was not nearly enough to save the character quality in this anime.
The animation was suited the tone of the anime well and was perfectly fine. The voice acting was fine except for one minor supporting character.
Overall this is an isekai powerfantasy with a mediocre story, unimpressive characters and okay animation and the only real reason to watch this is if you like powerfantasy. If you do end up watching this, be aware that there's a few post-ending scenes that are pretty relevant to the story but easy to miss.

Kiseijuu or Parasyte is an anime with a title that ironically enough does not unambiguously refer to the parasites that the anime is about. Good luck figuring that one out (episode 21 4:10).
Parasyte has a pretty interesting story about parasitic aliens appearing on the world. The story takes place over a relatively long period of time (more than a year) which gives the situation a lot of time to develop which makes the story way more interesting. It does however lead to a slightly jarring switch in pacing near the end when a lot of events happen in a single day. A problem with the
...
story is how it's situated in the rest of the world. In Hollywood movies aliens always invade New York or some other US city, it is then unsurprising that in this Japanese work the main place the story takes place is in the mid-sized Japanese city of Fukuyama. What is surprising however is that in the story the events that take place in Fukuyama have a disproportionally huge effect on the rest of the world while they really shouldn't which detracts from the story a bit. There are quite a few nice philosophical and horror elements in this story.
The characters are quite good. They are well written, have believable personalities and I often enjoyed just watching them interact. The anime does, however, enjoy putting them in situations that are annoying to watch or lead to poor outcomes. Personally I found these situations painful to watch and lamented some of the characters decisions but it's not like this is objectively bad.
The animation not amazing. There were quite a lot of cgi crowds with a crowd sometimes constituting of only 3 people. They're never present for long though and are easily ignored. Overall the animation was adequate for the story and managed to portray the parasites well enough but it's not an animation that you'll watch for the story. The music was pretty good and the main OST was very suitable.
Overall this is a pretty good anime with a nice story and interesting philosophical elements. It has good characters and adequate animation. If the idea of extra-terrestrial parasites infecting and killing people sounds remotely interesting to you then this is probably worth a shot.

These three OVA's are clearly fanservice oriented and mostly lacked stories that I personally care about more so I ended up disliking them.
For the first episode I need the creator to understand that puking in someone's mouth isn't hot. Neither are leeches, especially when they're large enough to suck up all you blood. Overall it's just a lot of fanservice but Cana and Wendy had a cute story.
The first five minutes of the first episode lacks any sort of clothing whatsoever. It has the best story out of the three OVAs and it's the only one I could slightly recommend watching since it has
...
a nice ending.
The third episode is about Christmas and had some quite uncomfortable fanservice including some kind of bdsm play with Erza dripping candle wax on Lucy. There is no real story in this episode.
According to the watch guide on reddit the best moments to watch each episode are as follows:
Episode 1 - After episode 203 of the main series
Episode 2 - After episode 233 of the main series
Episode 3 - After timestamp 6:43 of episode 328 of the main series
There are no new characters, it's just the normal fairy tail cast. The animation and sound are similar to the main anime.
Overall I don't recommend these OVA's because there's not much of a story and I didn't like most of the fanservice. If you like fanservice a lot and don't care about a story then these might be great episodes though.

Dragon cry is a pretty good fairy tail movie. Its story references the main fairy tail storyline and adds a bit to some of the characters.
The story itself is quite good and enjoyable to watch. It is a bit over the top at times and it's good that it's not part of the actual anime because some magic is arguably too powerful and could ruin the story. Unsurprisingly for fairy tail, this movie is heavy on the fanservice though it's incorporated pretty well into the story. The watch order guide on reddit mentions explicitly that this movie takes place after 14:18 of episode 288
...
of the main series so that's probably the best time to watch it.
The characters are just the normal fairy tail squad but with different villains. The villains are okay and sometimes quite interesting.
The animation, voice acting and sound were good and similar to or the same as the main anime.
Overall I think that this is a better movie than the first fairy tail movie and that it's a great movie for anyone who likes fairy tail.

This is a ten minute prologue for the phoenix priestess fairy tail movie. It's a pretty good prologue and greatly expands an important character in the movie that you otherwise know too little about. The best moment to watch this prologue is probably 3 minutes after the start of the movie since that way it's chronological.
There is no huge story, it's mainly just a snapshot of the life of a character so you get to know them better. It also gives more information about the origin of a side character that helps you understand the movie.
The animation and sound are similar or the same
...
as the main anime/movie.

The phoenix priestess is basically a mini fairy tail arc about the weirdest looking phoenix I've ever seen.
It's a pretty alright story. The pacing is a bit fast since it's a movie but it's manageable all things considered. It doesn't neatly fit into the story of fairy tail and isn't mentioned anywhere before or after. The watch guide on reddit says to watch the movie after episode 226 which seems like a reasonable moment. There is also a prologue to this movie that I would recommend you watch after watching the first three minutes of the movie so it's nice and chronological.
The characters
...
are the same as in the main anime with different side characters and pretty basic villains.
The animation was okay. The background looks quite nice but it often looks a bit different from the characters. Characters don't look good when they're far away but looked way better up close.
The music, sound and voice acting were all similar or the same as the main anime.
Overall this is a nice movie if you want to see more of fairy tail, it's just extra content that happens out of universe. If you like fairy tail enough to make it to episode 226 then you'll probably like this movie too.

This OVA for fairy tail consists of five separate episodes that accompany the first season of fairy tail.
The first and third episodes have surprisingly reasonable stories that add to the characters and are about the fairy tail dormitory and childhood of fairy tail members respectively. The second episode is a fairy tail school parody where Lucy's celestial spirits and the exceeds are the staff and fairy tail members are the students. The fourth and fifth episodes are mostly fanservice in the context of a training camp and a water park.
I used a guide posted on reddit by 'AstonishingSpiderMan' to determine the watch order
...
and it seemed accurate so I'll list the best times to watch the OVA episodes below:
OVA episode 1 - After episode 68
OVA episode 2 - This is an alternate universe and doesn't fit in the story but you probably know all relevant characters after episode 122
OVA episode 3 - After episode 51
OVA episode 4 - After episode 152
OVA episode 5 - After episode 170
You can of course watch them later after finishing the season but I would not recommend watching them before the episode listed.
The characters, animation, sound and voice acting are similar or the same as the main anime.
Overall I would recommend watching episode 1 and 3 since they provide extra information about the characters. Episode 2 might appeal to you if a school parody sounds fun to you and episode 4 and 5 are good if you like fanservice.

This listing comprises two of the songs that were used as opening for fairy tail.
They're alright songs and you probably heard then when you watched fairy tail.
The animation isn't very impressive and is at times more reminiscent of a slideshow or images/gifs moving around a screen. The animation in the first song is mainly of a walking girl and the animation in the second song is images of a girl with a gun.
If you liked the songs when they were used as opening, sure go listen to the full song. However I wouldn't really recommend watching this for the animation, just watch the
...
fairy tail opening for that.

Fairy tail, or Fatry tail as the anime itself spelled the name in the first minute of the first episode, is back with yet another season after its final season ended a little less than five years ago. Important to know is that this season is not complete and seems like a part 1 that would require another 25 episodes to finish.
At a glance the story of 100 year quest actually sounds exciting and the first episode definitely got me interested in the anime. Sadly the execution of the story leaves a lot to be desired and it's completely filled with nonsensical actions. A
...
huge problem is that character power levels are very inconsistent. I understand that I'm not watching one-punch man but the people that beat an entire continent shouldn't just lose to some random wizards so they get kidnapped and the story progresses. You made the characters OP, now deal with the consequences instead of breaking the continuity of the series to make them lose fights they really shouldn't lose. Speaking of which, the entire story of this season goes against previously established facts since Acnologia kept track of how many dragons/dragon slayers remained during the final season. The story also feels lazy at times: the trope of an exact replica of every Fairy tail member existing but with a different personality was already thoroughly and properly explored in Edolas but its revisited again here without justification or explanation for a single episode long joke. Deus ex machina are somewhat expected in fairy tail but I feel like in the past they were at least slightly established or justified before they were used. This season had the first deus ex machina that actively bothered me since it came out of nowhere with no real justification. There is once again a lot of fanservice in the anime which is expected of fairy tail. The fanservice seemed worse though, someone being flashed off-screen isn't really fanservice and at times it was very intrusive, interrupting the flow of a battle multiple times per episode. Another annoyance was that the anime used anachronisctic elements like 'integer overflow'. The one thing that seems better in this season is the romance so if you're excited about Juvia and Gray or Gajeel and Levy then that might be a nice plus.
The characters changed quite a lot and mostly for the worse. Natsu is now hesitant to eat flames (yes really), Plue suddenly has a great sense of smell that somehow never came up even once in the previous 300 episodes and guild members actively congratulate a girl who mind-controlled Fairy tail members and made them fight each other. Overall some characters feel like mild parodies of themselves. A small positive is that character's relationships do seem to progress which is a nice touch. A pretty huge problem is that characters don't have to figure things out themselves anymore. The anime frequently throws in a needless deus ex machina for a ghost or something to just explain the enemy's power instead of the characters figuring it out for themselves. So instead of a struggle to figure out how something works they just pause the game and look it up on the internet which makes the fights way less fun to watch. Alongside this, characters massively overexplain their actions and magic and it's just stupid to explain your strengths and weaknesses to your enemy. I do understand that some explanation is necessary but the anime currently treats the viewers as if their shoe size is larger than their IQ. Another problem that the anime has it that it can't help but bring back old characters that are dead or otherwise unavailable. People are dead when they die, you can't just bring them back every few episodes to make the anime 'more interesting' or whatever. The new characters that do get introduced are alright overall but the main villains so fair haven't been as compelling as the previous ones.
The music was worse than in the previous seasons. The timing was off and the proper theme only appeared like twice while a way less interesting song was used during most battles.
The animation is different. Characters look different, sometimes better, sometimes worse. Overall I feel like the animation is slightly lower quality since there's less consistency in the animation. On one hand I think the animation in previous seasons suited the anime more but that might be because I was used to that, on the other hand this animation has its own charm and sometimes looked cute. I don't feel like the fights looked as good as in the previous seasons.
Overall this season differs in many aspects of the original series: The story can't exist, characters have different personalities/characteristics and even the music and animation are different. In return for this deviation you get an anime with a cool premise but with pretty poor and illogical storytelling that wasn't very fun to watch. I recommend letting the final season remain the final season and to not let the changed characters or story ruin the original series for you. If you do end up watching it, maybe try treating it as a different universe with very similar characters so the dissonance doesn't detract from the story.
