I cannot be bothered putting a huge amount of time into this review so here goes. This anime has great potential, however the execution of the series and the cliche "friendship" act gets kinda annoying. It reminded me each time of how annoying I thought Bleach was because of this "friendship" bond and out of nowhere they overwhelm the enemy. It becomes especially apparent when they're being beaten numerous times to only come up on top just by screaming louder(DBZ).

Worst part of all is the fanservice. I used to read the manga, but it has just plummeted to the point where half the manga/anime is now just fanservice of the heroins. Hiro Mashima just leads people on by the romantic component of the anime which again isn't very entertaining. It is the whole "I will protect everyone" bullshit that causes Lucy to love Natsu deeper and cock blocks Gray. Nothing special

However, the music in this anime is astonishing. The timing is well executed with great background music to signify the important of a scene of cut to the ending song. Personally, I believe the music the one component of the anime that truly shines. Most anime doesn't have a large array of soundtracks that are used in such a way that actually can invoke your emotions in different ways depending on what they're trying to achieve. I have downloaded many of the soundtracks which I still listen to and enjoy.

For those who want a generic anime with some funny scenes that even made me laugh until I dropped give this a shot. If you are more like me and prefer intellectual anime this anime isn't going to be your forte. Simple as that.
