Story: The anime is really following the manga's storyline so that is a good, but also a bad thing. Due to it following the manga, the anime may get kind of dull at times like Lucy's part and some episodes, but overall the anime is pretty fast paced (which I like). The beginning starts off well, then it fills 4 episodes worth of character introduction so don't be turned off by them. Since Fairy Tail is a guild of course there are many characters so they want you to know each (that are important). In episode 5, the story starts picking up again and I'm hoping for some action like in the manga. Like I stated earlier, I read the manga thus I have a brief idea what's going to happen next and I anticipate for it as opposed to others who don't.
The art: Looks like One Piece. Nothing else I can say well besides for the wizardry fire parts Natsu performs with his fists and the dragon flying out that was kind of corny, but w/e I LOVE NATSU so I forgive.
Sound: I am absolutely disappointed by Natsu's and Grey's voice actors. I expected something more energetic from them, but instead I got some dull voices. The opening is a typical shounen opening nothing very memorable about it.
Overall, I have high hopes for this anime, but was horridly disappointed, but it's okay I have yet to lose hope because the juicy parts of the start has yet to start so guys just pull through! If you can watch Naruto's training arcs you can definitely watch Fairy Tail! :]
