Fairy Tail Anime Review


Fairy Tail is a manga written by Hiro Mashina (not that you know him) that relates the adventures of a magic guild (called Fairy Tail -.-') –an association of people who work together using magic powers to accomplish jobs- as they journey through sub plots in the story line… Most of them are: “it’s the end of the world if FairyTail doesn’t help” but there are also some fights between guilds and the “main” plot is the search of the lost dragons. The manga is fitted with hilarious scenes, sad moments and (mostly) a lot of good action which makes FairyTail one of the classics in action manga (alongside the famously hated Naruto and One Piece). It has been adapted in an anime (which isn’t half bad).
Rating:
Emotional Setting: 9/10
-Very few anime made me cry, Fairy Tail is one of them.
-Good sense of humor, and similarly to Naruto, the first chapters are much more focused on making you laugh than actually developing the plot.
Storyline: 6/10 
-The arcs aren't too long or too short but it doesn't stray too much from our expectations, so try to do something a bit more unexpected instead of following the same story path over and over again.
-Only two anime so far have completely messed up their "skip to the future" part, Bleach and Fairy Tail. In Fairy Tail's case, what they did was truly unbelievable, because the main characters couldn't change for 7 years, everything around them has changed, but they haven't. Which is exactly the opposite of what is supposed to happen after time jumps. It then tried to catch up by quickly changing the main character's clothes, but the main problem is that they're supposed to have had some kind of training for 7 years, but because they were immobilized, they couldn't train at all, so the writer realized that he'd made a mistake and made them train for a few days...-yes, to catch up 7 years-
-They also had the opportunity to change the villains a bit, but instead they re-used the same villains as before the 7 year gap. Thank you originality.
Art: 8/10 
-nothing to say, impeccable, smooth drawings and cool characters
O.S.T. : 9/10 
-note that it's the same guy that does Naruto's O.S.T., so expect good music.


Final rating: 8/10
I recommend this anime to people who love good old action anime with special powers and magic.
