STORY: I am not sure what FT plot is supposed to be, I lost track of the story a while back. I was hoping that it was Natsu looking for the dragons, but I think he forgot as well.
ART: The art is probably one of the better aspects of the series that I personally like. The art maybe one of the few reasons people watch FT.
SOUND: The voices both in Japanese and English are pretty good, and I do like most of the music that is played.
CHARACTERS: I liked Natsu at the beginning, he is like Luffy that rushes in without thinking. Unlike Luffy, though, Natsu does not back it up and waits for a last minute power to defeat his enemies after getting destroyed. Lucy became annoying as the story progressed. I thought Erza was going to be a good character the way she was being build up before her appearance. However, once we saw her she was not the badass characters I was hoping for, and the Starry Sky arc made her worse. Gary was pretty decent, but him stripping naked most of the time wore on me and that became annoying. Happy is the only characters that I still liked before I dropped the series. Then there is Gildarts, a rip-off of Shanks from One Piece.
ENJOYMENT: Like I wrote earlier, I did enjoy FT at the begging of the series, but then it became repetitive and stupid. I think the show is geared to kids under the age of 10 the way the story and jokes are written. But, the fan service confuses me, because it means it is trying to cater to kids older than 14.
OVERALL: The only reason why FT is successful has to be the fan service. Besides that, I do not see any other reason for it. I will say this, I tried watching Naruto and Bleach as well, but I could not get into either of those shows. At least, I was able to get into FT for a few episodes.
