Weedanort 8,786 Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Fairy Tail, created by Hiro Mashima, had its manga released in August of 2006, while the anime was released in October of 2009. Is it worth your while? Note: Keep in mind that this is an outgoing series. It's still going, and it keeps releasing new chapters and episodes every week. I'll review everything that's appeared so far on the manga. So we're here. Fairy Tail. Boy, I'm glad I started reading this manga, it's that good. But I'd better review this by steps. No point in spoiling all the fun in one go Story? Now the story might be complicated for some, while extremely simple for others. The story of Fairy Tail is simple: In this world, there are mages everywhere. All kinds of mages are members of specific guilds, which work for the peace of the world. The guild that this story talks about is Fairy Tail, a rather rowdy, but a kind guild. Your usual "hero" guild. The main characters of this story are Lucy Heartphilia, Natsu Dragneel, and Happy, a group of young mages with their own dreams and intentions. Natsu wants to reunite with his stepfather Ignil, which is a dragon. Lucy wants to prove her father that money doesn't solve anything. And Happy... wants fish (Well he is a cat. Sorta.). These 2 characters get into all kinds of shenanigans with all of the other guild members. They laugh, they cry, they greave, they fight, all of the morals about a family. This all seems simple, but when the villains enter the scene, it's where things get a bit... "Bitter". At least in my case. The story divides itself into a few numbers of arcs, but these arcs tend to take too long, and just drag and drag. Sometimes I kinda felt bored while reading, due to the fact that a specific story arc was taking too long. But I digress. The story's still amazing Characters? The characters in Fairy Tail are excellent in my opinion. Heroes, Antagonists, Villains, everything! Except for some here and there, but still probably you can relate with most of the characters on this story. And much like other anime/manga stories, they have an unbreakable will. That's kinda of a cliché in mangas, isn't it? Image Quality? ECHI, ECHI EVERYWHERE /shot Seriously, the amount of echi moments you'll see in Fairy Tail goes up the roof Mainly because of the amount of battles that the female characters go through, or even in peaceful moments, kinda makes me think that the author's perverted Other than that, the quality just keeps on improving every chapter. Really good! Now for the anime, the quality starts to be really good during the 3rd story arc. At least in my opinion. It was already good before that, but until there, it wasn't really shining. ANIME: OST? Rock + Folk. You heard me right. Rock + Folk. Seems strange at first right? Well listen to these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcKCp8IlnQ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhQLIlU11oo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qpY7srCMgA They really aren't playing around when it comes to the quality of the OST. They picked in something strange, and made it absolutely epic. Check the OST out if you have the time, you won't regret it Overall Rating? Boobs So far, Fairy Tail's been a great experience for me, it's completely different from other animes that I saw You won't regret reading/watching Fairy Tail, it's that good From Newbie to Immortal, I give it a No Comment, it's that good! See you next time! Edited September 13, 2014 by Weedanort 4 Mirajane, Hazimie, OmegaForte and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OmegaForte 1,674 Posted September 13, 2014 My brother got me into it a couple of months ago. I regret nothing, it's very good with it's touching moments and boobs here and there. I'm still trying to catch up, but I'm almost up to date on the anime. (Grand Magic games atm) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GotMilk5101520 573 Posted September 14, 2014 DAMN YOU IGNEEL, STOP BEING THE KYUBII FROM NARUTO Are the other dragons inside their kids as well? FAIRY TAIL IS THE BEST ANIME I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!! AND IVE SEEN A LOT OF ANIMES!!!! Got that right. truth is, i prefer Fairy Tail over other series i read, such as One Piece Naruto Bleach Attack on Titan (I started watching it) Hunter x Hunter Toriko and Magi (the last 3 though i just started reading them) and a lot of questions that makes you want to know and are answered sooner than you think One Piece: What is the Void Century? The Will of D? Need i remind you of the Ancient Kingdom. What is the World Government hiding about this missing century? What is the One Piece? All these questions will be answered in the final arc of One Piece. Note i don't hate One Piece. i'm just saying it feels like Oda will answer these in the final arc. and it's been said that there will be 10 more years of One Piece. i just hope Oda tells more about the things i just said. 1 Sorual reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
