Initial Impressions: Fairy Tail

December 20, 2011

Ohio! (Well… It's morning for me :D)

I’m back after a week of slacking. :P Apparently, I didn’t get to finish this review before I went on the Philippines trip because I was packing, and translating in fansub and learning Japanese (which is SUPER difficult and I’m not even 0.1% done) etc … Anyways, I’m back again and this time I’m doing a review on one of the best animes I have ever watched. :D

HAHAHA. I totally LOVE this anime!!! "Fairy Tail" :D


What would you do if your dad suddenly disappeared without a trace? Well… That’s what happened to Natsu Dragneel (age unknown, should be around 18, main male protagonist). His foster father (who is in fact a dragon) went missing 7 years previously. So, Natsu and Happy (his 6 year old flying, talking, neko friend) went in search for his father, Igneel.

NEKO ALERT… again :DD

Natsu and Happy
Anyways, in the land of Fiore, only about 10% of the population can use magic. People buy/sell magic and non-magic users can get help by offering jobs to mages through guilds. Hence all mages join guilds to get jobs. (Except for illegal jobs, then they form dark guilds) All guilds are governed by the magic council. Yet, there is one particular guild that is infamous for its members being overly-destructive: FAIRY TAIL!!!
So the story starts off with Lucy Heartfilia (17 years old, main female protagonist) escaping from home due to her mother’s death and her bad relationship with her father, and she is a celestial wizard (summons celestial spirits like Cancer, Aquarius, Taurus etc…) She met Natsu and Happy along the way and was invited to join Fairy Tail.

Lucy
There, she met the other two protagonist: Gray Fullbuster (18 year old, who has this habit of stripping, and doesn’t realize it) and Erza Scarlet (19 year old, nicknamed Titania, Fairy Queen)
 
Gray
 








Erza
Gray is an ice wizard. This is the exact opposite of Natsu, who is a fire dragon slayer. As such, they always argue and fight. HAHA :D





Haha
OUCH.
On the other hand, Erza is a very powerful mage and has the ability to change her armor and weapon to suit the situation. She is also the disciplinarian of the guild and does not hesitate to punish anyone, so even Natsu and Gray pretend to be good friends in front of her.

I'm scared...
:D










And together, they form the ‘strongest team’ in Fairy Tail to complete missions together.

Strongest Team (Not inclusive of Happy)
And so their journey starts!

Well… This anime has all the genres I like: Humor (I laugh or smile at almost every episode), Fighting, Romance (a bit), Shounen, Supernatural and DRAGONS!!! :D

Plot: IS SUPER NICE!!! Very original!!! Too many characters though…

The lessons learnt are also very insightful. Mainly it talks about friendship/comrade-ship. Especially for Natsu, anyone who messes with anyone in the guild is GOING TO DIE!!! It’s a little like "One Piece", where Natsu is like Luffy. (If you guys don’t know anything, go watch One Piece also :D VERY NICE TOO) But of course each anime has its own awesome part. And I think the flying, talking cat part is pretty unique (how many flying cats do you see in animes?)

Fave characters: Natsu, Gray, Happy (in no order of merit) All are so hilarious and with Happy it's KAWAII :DD

Fairy Tail has currently 109 episodes and was aired on October 12, 2009.(I know I did the review very late, but after my friends’ and Tr3xus’ strong recommendation I watched it 3 weeks ago, and finished in 5 days.) 

The anime is fansubbed by Kyuubi,  Ryugan and HorribleSubs. 2 OVAs have been released.

My fave song: Ending 6


Funny moment :D  Episode 17


Next review: Acting based anime (completed anime) (Drama adaption coming out very very soon! CAN’T WAIT!!! )
