Fairy Tail

Mixed Feelings
Ahh, Fairy Tail-
It was pretty much the first anime I watched, and it holds a huge sentimental value in my heart. But I'm completely aware it wasn't the best shounen anime. Including the 175 from Fairy Tail original series, I've watched all 328. Anyway, I might accidentally type some spoilers, so proceed with caution if you haven't finished Fairy Tail yet. - - - - (added to make sure the spoilers are beneath the "read more" button) ... - - - Art (4/10): I thought the art was okay, and sometimes there were really nicely shaded scenes, but it was pretty mediocre overall. The intro animations were very nice too, but as the story kept proceeding, they kind of just became snippets of the anime copied and pasted to the music. I really enjoyed the manga art and loved seeing how the art styles changed a little bit over time. Sound (8/10): Really loved the music, especially Snow Fairy and the intro to Fairy Tail Zero. The music they played in the background during the sad scenes was really nice too. Characters (3/10):The Fairy Tail cast was sort of your stereotypical bunch. There is the strong guy, the strong guy's best "frenemy", the pretty girl/ fanservice character, the crybaby/ innocent character and the really strong girl that everyone's "scared" of. What does that sound like? A lot of other shows. I really didn't appreciate the way Lucy played into the story. First of all, I dislike fanservice. I know this is a personal opinion, but it kind of just made Lucy seem like a useless character (when she is completely capable of fighting well). Second, Lucy got several power-ups in the story, such as summoning several spirits at once or summoning the Celestial King, but she hardly used those abilities and instead let everyone else do fighting. Also, I just want to talk about Aquarius's death. It was kind of unnecessary. The Celestial King didn't fight that much and just served as a morale boost, and instead of completely ending a character, Fairy Tail just has to bring them back (there is a second Aquarius key for Lucy to find). Some other examples of almost "killing off" a character but then bringing them back include: - Wendy and Carla disabling the Face bombs - Chelia gaining back her magic after sacrificing it to beat Dimaria, although it was not effective at all and was just used to give Wendy a power boost - Urtear returning several times even after she supposedly died - Natsu dying then being revived in the Alvarez Empire arc Enjoyment (6/10): In this section, my personal feelings about the show were very influential. Fairy Tail was my first anime, so I loved it. But there's another side to this. I literally stopped in the middle of Fairy Tail for a good few months because it got so boring. (Plus, I read the manga for a little bit, and was able to skip over several fillers, which was good.) Anywho, I was pretty sad when it was over, but looking back, I never really enjoyed the show that much, like I did other shows. Overall, I rate Fairy Tail a 5.
