I've seen hot steamy piles of garbage festering on a pile of road-kill more appealing than this show. Fairy Tail was one of my first anime back when I was like 12 or something and the first season was okay back then. Anyway, normally when your final season comes up, you want to make it big. You want to make it awesome and blow the living socks off of everybody. The Fairy Tail staff decided: "Eh... No one's going to pay attention anyway." And thus this lazy piece of junk was made.
In short, if you watched the first couple of episodes of the first Fairy Tail and then watched the final episode of this show. Nothing changed. Absolutely nothing. No character relationships were further developed. No character arcs really changed the character. Any developments that were in place were abandoned in a matter of seconds. All of the super powerful wizards we established in the first two seasons are weak. Pathetic really. Anything big that happens here is rendered pointless a few episode later. That's it for characters. Nothing happens. On a side note., do you remember that one character back in the first couple of episodes in season one? The guild member that would always say "I'll take a job tomorrow!" Me neither. But he's back for his second appearance in the final episode. Hope you're excited to see him.
As for the animation, it's not really there. You might as well draw some fan art of each scene and you might get more frames than they did. Every shot was the same slow panning shot of any one character and their blank expression reacting to something that was lame and didn't really matter. Fights might be a punch and the rest is some useless dialogue about something obvious and a lot of standing still.
The only reason I didn't give this crap a 1 is mostly because it didn't make me want to bleach my eyes and wipe my memory. It also didn't do anything that made me question humanity so... That's good I guess. You get 1 point for not making me want to wipe humanity off the face of the Earth.
Anyway. If, like me, you've watched too much of Fairy Tail to stop now and you decide that you have to watch this show, as my final effort to save you from 51 episodes of nothing let me tell you this. No spoilers, I promise. Think about the show for a minute. Like actually just think about the whole show and the story up until now. Now imagine the ending. You're right. That's the ending, whatever you imagined is the ending. Whatever ending you just imagined is probably superior to what the Final Season has in store. Take that ending and make it your personal ending. Otherwise you'll be disappointed and sad.
I hope this helped whoever reads this. Please don't make the mistake of watching this show. It's not funny, it's irritating and boring.
