We all have our reasons to like or not a show.Thank you. Please try to keep your egos in tact and read the review before evaluating it. If I had to describe the show in exactly five words I’d tell you “Fairy Tail is really fun.” Because it is, it is just plain fun to watch.įairy Tail is definitely one of the most popular shounen anime and if you are thinking of watching it based on this fact alone, then I encourage you to read some reviews first. I love the jokes that I used to see, the characters that I got so attached to, the fight scenes, the soundtrack, the art, and you know what? I even love all the generic shounen aspects that came with it. The style of the art is a little strange though, and not unlike One Piece it may put some people off at first, but after a few episodes you will find yourself really loving the art, just as you will find yourself loving the anime as a whole. It is extremely well done, and fluid allowing for really awesome fights to be had. The art and animation should really go without saying. Normally it would be hard for a show to get the soundtrack just right but Fairy Tail managed to do it extremely well.

Not only does the show have an all-star voice cast but the score for the show is also pretty over the top. A voice cast like Fairy Tail’s does not come around often and is something that must be acknowledged when going into this anime. The first one that I noticed was the voice of Toradora’s Aisaka Taiga, but the show itself has many more notable voices than that including Alphonse Elric, Hanekawa Tsubasa, Miki Sayaka, and Amane Misa. That’s right you’ll definitely recognize at least a few of the voices in this anime. I guess it doesn’t hurt that this anime had an all-star voice cast to help with making you like the characters. It is almost as if you are blind-sided a bit by the connection you have with the Fairy Tail guild members, and you will most definitely have a connection with the members as you will most likely see yourself in one of them. You won’t even realize you have an emotional attachment to these characters until something happens. When something happens to one of the members of the guild it will probably make you sad, maybe even bring on some tears. There are dozens you are introduced to and you will most likely remember their names because the show does that good of a job at giving the characters a long lasting impression.

After the first season you will feel like you know the members of the guild personally. Since they can all use magic their fighting styles are extremely diverse. The members of the Fairy Tail guild are an interesting bunch to say the least. It has great humor, consistent arcs, short recaps, nice fight scenes, and most importantly nice character development. Not every part of a generic shounen is bad, and Fairy Tail actually does a really good job capitalizing on the things we love in a shounen. You have to remember something that so many people easily forget. good in spite of all the clichés the plot may have. What makes Fairy Tail so unique is that it is If you make a shounen, no matter how you make it, it is going to have some generic components. Shounen clichés come with the territory, and Fairy Tail is no exception. You have a group of teenage wizards running around fighting bad guys and all the while they get stronger as Natsu Dragneel looks for his father… who is a dragon. Not that it ended badly, it just sucks that it ended at all.įairy Tail is, for lack of a better term, your generic shounen.
