Fairy Tail follows the adventures of mainly Natsu Dragneel, Happy, Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, and Erza Scarlet. The young wizards are part of a guild called Fairy Tail located in the city of Magnolia. They take job request and most of the time they are trying to help Lucy make her rent. Along the way they get into conflicts with other guilds. The show has okay to good comedy and the fan service in this show can be a little too much but I digress. This show has intense action scenes and a story that will leave you entertained.
The animation in Fairy Tail is very good. However, like many other shows there are some scenes where the animation is outstanding.
The voice acting in Fairy Tail is very good most notably Colleen Clinkenbeard as Erza Scarlet and Todd Haberkorn as Natsu Dragneel in the Funimation dub. The music I thought was also good.
There are SO many great characters in Fairy Tail with unique personalities and magical abilities. Natsu Dragneel is a Fire Dragon slayer who is very gung-ho on going on dangerous jobs and picking fights with his guild members. He was also raised by Igneel and was abandoned by him in the year x777 on July 7th. Happy is a flying blue cat that is Natsu's buddy. Lucy Heartfilia is a celestial spirit mage who is very kind hearted but can be cold and rude at times especially with the guild members antics. She ran away from home and was heir to the Heartfilia family fortune. Gray Fullbuster is an Ice mage who has an unusual habit of stripping his clothes. Finally there is Erza Scarlet who can requip into different armor. She was a slave forced to build a tower and later joined Fairy Tail after she lead a revolt on the people who forced them into labor. Also there are some secondary characters that deserve mentioning like Juvia, Gajeel, Mirajane, Elfman, Wendy, and Master Makarov.
I had a blast watching Fairy Tail. It has funny moments that will get a chuckle out of you and the story is just so intriguing that you just want to keep watching. Now there are a few problems I have with the show and that is they use the power of friendship WAY too much in this show and in doing so they get a power up and defeat the villain. Another is that some of the episodes have a little too much fan service and I don't mind fan service, but there has to be a point where it's just to much for an episode. Overall Fairy Tail is a great anime that is full of adventure, comedy, and action. It's also why I consider it one of my favorite anime's of all time.
