People have been talking shit about Fairy Tail ever since it was serialized and eventually turned into an anime in the late 2000s. They called it a "poor man's One Piece" and not investing. While I do agree there were and remain too much plot armor and PLOT, the Final Series is definitely the highest peak of the entire show. It maintains the great music and character that was introduced in the first season, while also looking even more fantastic with better fightscenes than the already improved (artistically) Fairy Tail 2014. The Final Series contains the raw emotions of the main cast, as well as Zeref and the Spriggan 12, and fixes numerous plot holes and answers questions fans have been waiting for since the show first started (if you haven't read the manga). Also Natsu and the rest of the cast are way more bad ass this time, as they trained for a year in order to prepare for this final showdown (not including the 100 years quest). This is the best way to end the series that has captivated us for years on end. The only reason it is not a 10/10 is because of the art. The art itself is the best the show has ever looked, however, fight scenes still are pretty static with not a lot of fluent animation (it will probably get better since the first third of the show was animated around the same time the second season was coming to an end, so the last episodes will be looking the best). To add to this, Sword Art Online: Alicitization, and other concurrent A-1 Pictures/Cloverworks animes look better than Fairy Tail, with movements, even though they are using the same animation and production teams. Besides this, Fairy Tail: Final Series is fantastic and makes you fall in love with the characters again as they win battles, struggle , suffer losses and do everything they can to protect their family, their guild, Fairy Tail. I wish they turn the 100 Year Quest into an anime, but they most likely won't.
