Actaully, I kind of like Fairy Tail as a series which strengthens my belief in humanity. Redemption and absolution is something which resonates throughout Gajeel, Jellal , Ur and Meredy. I do feel that a significant character death coudl actually strengthen the plot. Duex Ex Machina aside, I loved Wendy ahving to choose between Carla and the guild, something whic reveals the maturity of the youngest witch… Irony at its finest.

On the topic of fights, I will admit that there is a lot of it.
The whole show theme is fighting, and most people do it to solve problems. However, there is very little blood, and not many characters actually die. I'd say the actual biggest problem you would have would be if you are against magic because that's what the whole show is about or demons because they fight them a lot. A small thing could also be that there's a girl that's kind of an achoholic, but it's not a big deal. The pros far out way the cons. Yeah, there are hot headed, arrogant, evil, fighting characters.
But they are always shown as that being a fault. There are also cool headed, calm, fun, and friendly characters. The show teaches loyalty, friendship, courage, and standing up for your friends. In the guild that is the show's namesake, it is establishes that the whole guild would gladly go to war, or even die, for even one of their members, because they're family. As for the quality of the show, it's very good. All the characters have interesting backstories and histories.
They all have separate, not cliche personalities that are fun to watch progress. Also, the show at times can be very emotional, using flashbacks and other things like a killer soundtrack to create moods of sadness, regretfulness, anger, inspiration, fun, or anything else.
However, the show could also be considered a comedy, often making funny jokes, making fun of people, and just funny little commentaries during fights. Over all, I will say it's a parent's decision. Based on your background and worldviews, some of this stuff could be questionable.
However, it is a great quality anime that teaches the power of loyalty, friendship, courage, perseverance, and sacrifice. Helped me decide 1. Had useful details 5. Read my mind 6. Adult Written by 10rafiqe August 31, Awesome Its a really good anime with a great backstory.
It starts with a busty girl named Lucy joining a magical guild known as fairy tail when she meets a wizard name Natsu Dragneel. These lots of violence and some blood. Overall I think this show is awesome! Read my mind 3. Adult Written by Amy S. February 8, FairyTail Is Age Appropriate I would have to say that although fairy tail has some drinking and gore I personally feel compared to other animes its not that bad.
Altogether the message that fairy tail brings is about finding your true power within while hanging out with friends. Had useful details 1. Read my mind 2. Adult Written by ninjaswag June 17, It can teach your kid valuable life lessons on friendship. It is a show were a wizard named Natsu Dragneel goes around fighting for good and taking out all of the evil that he can and he cant stand to see one his friends hurt.
This is one of my favorite shows because of that. The show also has allot of comedy in it that will always make your kids laugh. So I say again parents please let your children watch this show you wont regret it.
Helped me decide. Adult Written by kah April 11, Adult Written by NatAttack October 7, Aye Sir! This is one of the finest animes out there.
When I finished watching it- I wished there was more. I started this series after reading review after review saying "too terrible! There is worse stuff your kids could see. In fact, some of the stuff people talked about at school was pretty darn bad.
I admit that violence is embedded in this show, but it's no worse than the Hunger Games or Twilight. And the it does have strong role models. Yes, the main female character is a wimp who shows her cleavage too often, but another character is queen of the fairies and has awesome battle magic and can take down any bad guy. Meanwhile, you have fun-loving Natsu who always protects his friends. I do admit, the amount of skin and sexist comments are terrible, but it's no worse than Cartoon Network.
I beg of you, please let your child watch this. It teaches children the value of friendship. Read my mind 5. Teen, 13 years old Written by tecnafan May 3, I LOVE IT i love this show it is the best anima show i have ever seen i love love love this show i have all the outfits of the main characters natsu, lucy, erza, gray, wendy. Had useful details 1. I remember starting this series and two weeks later I had watched episodes.
In the school year. Kids end up neglecting homework to watch this show, which isn't okay. I love this show with all my heart, but it's only for mature teenagers who can express self-control. Things about the show: Most female characters have supermodel looks. They all have exaggerated cleavage and tiny figures. That is alright in the scheme of things, however, because most of them are exceptional fighters. Only one girl that I can currently think of is not so great.
She is the protagonist and often ends up yelling the name of her love interest Natsu so he can come save her from danger. Her powers are weak, but she often provides inspiration for other characters. Her terribleness is made up for by my personal favorite female character, Erza. She is queen of the fairies and scares most of the guys she knows.
Another bad part of fairy tail is stuff like: Child labor, exaggerated violence even though that is the premise of the show and it is okay for teens , slight nudity a certain character has a habit of removing his clothes, but no sensitive parts are ever shown and he has an understandable backstory explaining this habit , and some villains have no purpose. All of this is perfectly fine for a mature teenager and can be quite funny for them.
Sometimes characters break into fits of yelling and others laugh. Fairy Tail revolves around friendship the entire series so far and makes sure that it all turns out right. I forgot to mention, a certain character often has vivid sexual fantasies but they are only spoken of like 'what happened to you caressing my hair! And one character has a drinking problem. Teen, 13 years old Written by Ljbob December 16, Its also scary and gave me nightmares even though im It is extremely violent and suggestive and people use swear words left and right.
Things like shit, crap, bitch, ass There is also a character who is always stripping and appears butt naked many times throughout the show. Full body shots of naked people, instead of just their upper bodies. If you are under 13 and are reading this, i know it would make you think its an exiting show, and believe me it is, but im not here to write about how awesome it is. Im here to write about all the bad stuff. My parents dont think i should have watched it, and im beginning to think I should have listened to them.
Read my mind 1. Teen, 13 years old Written by Crimson Raven January 21, To All Mothers Who Are Looking At This Review Although Fairy Tail may have things you don't want your child to see early in life, like overemphasized breasts, or a boy's naked chest, unlike other cartoons I've seen, Fairy Tail is actually pretty kid friendly.
When I watched this show, it changed the way I did things in a really good way. It taught me to never stop fighting for your friends, to never give up, and taught me that if you try hard and keep on going, nothing can stop you. Maybe this show isn't the best thing for 5 year olds, but age 10 and up, definitely. Read my mind. The animation is some of the coolest I've ever seen. I love the character and the magic, not to mention the scenery and moods that the animators create. Then there's the soundtrack, if only they put the same energy into the writing as they did the soundtrack!
The score is just breathtaking. Hooks all over the place. Strings to make a grown man weep at just the right moment. It's very folksy and reminds me of the Game of Thrones theme tune. Perhaps the person who wrote for GoT got the inspiration from Fairy Tail?
The other awesome factor involves the characters. Although they're criminally underused at times, they are all different and all memorable. Each of them have strengths and weaknesses and quirks and, surprising for a serial cartoon or any series for that matter , they're yet to become plot devices.
They remain true to themselves throughout. The only issue I have is that, when one of them seemingly sacrifices themselves for the good of the guild and it happens a lot , the awesome soundtrack kicks in and it seems like someone is about to bite the bullet.
But then it turns out they were only knocked out I mean, if you're gonna be knocked out, you probably don't need to make such a song and dance of it. So, despite some bad writing flaws and a fair bit of unoriginal writing, Fairy Tail is still one of my favourite animes.
I'm constantly saying, "just one more" so they must be doing something right, right? I have watched Fairytail since the beginning, and after episodes it has ended its last season as far as we know , I don't read the manga, but I know the story is still continuing but this will be an analysis of the anime not the manga.
I'm writing this review not because I hate this anime and want to keep other people from enjoying, but because I really do care for it and i just wish, it could have reached its full potential and have been something great. If you don't know already this anime is about a guild of wizards called Fairytail that go on adventures, get into fights constantly, and so much more.
The Characters: There is an entire universe of characters in this anime, even just in the fairy tail guild. But the main group consists of Natsu, Lucy, Happy gray, juvia, erza and wendy. Each character from Natsu to zeref are all likeable. Every character has a good designs, that makes each one of them standout, even if their just background characters.
However a lot of their personalities are exactly the same, especially the fairytail guild, each and everyone one of them just wants to do the right thing, have fun, and protect their guildmates no matter, sure each character has a quirk or two but their all very similar.
You do feel the emotional connection between them, since they do convince you that they are a family. The Villains: Lets just say you wont remember a single name of any of the villain bosses, its not to say you wont while watching that particular arc, but not one of them is very memorable. But when they are its because they converted to the side of the good, which is actually pretty common, which isn't a bad thing, if the redemption is done right, except some of the villains are complete homicidal maniacs, who become chill and kind after joining the good side, almost turning into different characters and are easily forgiven by the heroes.
They even show flashbacks of tragic backstories to make you the audience forgive these villains and forget the very evil things that they just did. But then there are similar villains who are not worthy of redemption? Hiro mashima builds these villains up pretty well, and tries to make them as op as possible however since the heroes are more op, the villains always end up losing in the exact same way.
The Action: The action in this anime goes from epic to bland. Despite there being amazing fights there is a whole sea of bland repetitive fights, its like there is so much fighting that your brain turns off for most of them. The reason why most of the fights become boring is because there are no stakes, you know that despite the characters screaming in pain that they will not be killed, that despite all the villains power, the heroes power is even greater.
Which can make dragged out fights begin to feel pointless and repetitive. What could have made the fights more intense, Is if there was more deaths. I'm not saying any of the main characters should have died, but at least more of the pointless background characters should have, to increase the stakes of the situation or make the villain that more terrifying.
Even when there is a death you will not believe that it is permanent, since so many other characters have survived worse, which just makes the few actual deaths feel very random. The Music: Lets just say this is my favorite part of the anime, the intro songs are legendary. The background music during the action scenes and dramatic scenes, is just epic, I actually listen to the soundtrack all the time.
This soundtrack could be one of the best in all of anime. The Fanservice: This is one of the main reasons to watch this anime, as shallow as that sounds, let me just say it will keep you watching. Every single woman in this anime has the body of a goddess and every man has rock hard eight pack abs. The level of fanservice is sometimes so gratuitous especially in the ovas that it will leave you feeling uncomfortable but happy at the same time Don't lie to yourselves. The Romance: Okay I know this is a Shonen action anime, but I'm sure a million shippers will all agree with me, that many of the characters had the potential to become lovers based on their interactions alone.
In fact im sure some characters were created just to be shipped together. Despite the romance not being central to the show, a lot of the time its focused on, to the point of trolling.
Even some of the intro songs clearly show some couples acting like lovers, and that will make you want to pull your hair out. And unlike other anime where romance is nonexistent, this anime clearly acknowledges the existence of romance, but usually just with background characters. Which will make you angrily question why the creators didn't just go all the way, the main culprit of this, is the time when jellal and erza kissed. While a lot of characters have cute moments together they are still very vague, and I would say only a handful had truly meaningful relationships that I would even consider romantic.
My main couples being Gray and juvia, gajeel and levy and mavis and zeref. The Magic: The power scale in this anime is garbage, every time you think you have an understanding of exactly how powerful someone is, its ruined by a new source of untapped power that makes the main heroes even more op. Which is honestly the only way they are able to defeat their villains half the time, without requiring any major onscreen training, they just magically already have a new power.
However every type of magic in this anime is creative and interesting to watch being used. There's no way to really describe the awful power system in this anime, basically you should always assume that the main heroes will always overpower any threat with the pure power of friendship. And yes that is an actual superpower in this anime.
They try to show you that the heroes can get hurt, but make quick recoveries from what should have been a life ending attack, this just makes you feel like every fight is just white noise until that final attack. The Emotion: let me just say this is what will make you a fan of this show, this anime is an emotional rollercoaster that will make you feel invested in the main characters.
The music helps tremendously, but due to the length of this anime you will come to appreciate or even love the characters so much that you might start cheering when they make a triumphant speech or last stand. The dramatic scenes are surprisingly very effective, and when the characters cry you might get a little teary eyed yourself. Sadly it sometimes feels artificial and manipulative, especially with that damn good music, there are a few "almost" deaths in this anime yes there are a lot that will make you consider that your favorite character might actually die, only to be prevented at the last second or be totally retconned, which in my opinion ruins the anime, since you see this trick done so many times that you come to the conclusion that no one will ever really die or stay dead.
This really does keep the anime from having any real depth or sense of loss, which is credited to the creator hiro mashima hating the idea of death and wanting to cherish life, which I deeply respect but its not effective for a story especially one as long as this one.
The Finale: The final season was something I was really looking forward too, since it would be a war arc, and it would be time for the fairytail guild to fight the 2 most powerful villains in the anime, that being Zeref and Acknologia.
