Fairy Tail, with all it's many, MANY faults, is an anime i still love and hold dear. Since it was one of the first anime I watched and tho i didnt mind the power of friendship powerups and stuff, yeah in the last fight. The power of friend was becoming a bit too much there
As a long term FT fan I think Fairy Tail got a lot wrong but the main issue that stems from the manga and therefore into the anime is that both wanted it to be over. Mashima rushed the ending and tried to conclude the series several times which is why the anime has the same stop and start feel to it
OK here's the definitive list of things wrong with fairy tail: 1. All Spriggan fights except Ajeel and Wall (they actually had good conclusions) 2. Natsu being frozen in time by age seal once, where dimaria had a chance to slit his throat or cut his heart in half, but chose not to, only to have it no longer work on natsu because END. Like why didn't END jump in for self preservation huh? 3. Aconologia's arc being compressed into 3 episodes because fuck you Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
😂😂dimaria didn't learn her lesson when wendy beat her ass and she also was surprised when brandish was alive like how do u fail to kill someone when u stop time and to this day I still think they shouldn't have won against the spriggan 12 especially erza vs Irene when wendy enchanted erza sword when Irene literally has the same power and she watched erza drop from the sky when she could just slapped her or move out of the way
Couldn’t agree more after watching this. Fairy Tail had all the right makings to be a great show, but it just kinda fumbled. Here are some of my peeves alongside the ones you already talked about: *Too much fan service. Just . . . way too much *It felt like it never went anywhere in regards to the characters. None of them developed that much, save for a few *Lucy is the protagonist, yet it felt like she was always losing or getting kidnapped or being used to make the others stronger. *And then what you already pointed out, pacing, animation, useless episodes/arks, power of friendship, etc, etc Definitely disappoints me, could’ve been a favorite of mine had it not dropped the ball so many times.
Honestly I think the first fairy tail anime despite its flaws was good, I like the looks of it thought the colors were used proper, certain jokes work really well, and then fights having some really epic moments that just look awesome, my personal favorite being nasty vs zero at the end where he breaks out of genesis zero it honestly gave me chills. Fairy tail 2014 doesn’t have the same thing, I hated the loss of color, I get why but it still doesn’t help with the anime, a lot of the animation looked really stiff compared to the first and other problems with that later, the character models for the females honestly all looked the same to me like they just used one female base and worked with that via copy paste, you can make the argument that it’s cause of mashimas style but I didn’t really notice the issue until Wendy was standing next to mirajane in a shot and is somehow almost the same height as her or looks taller than she should be. And then there’s the fight scenes they were honestly flat out boring, the first anime when watching a good chunk of those fights it was done well nothing top tier in anime overall but there was still something to feel a sense of impact to the fights, I can’t say the same when I tried to watch the grand magic games arc with the final fights the conflict between the dragons and even the later fights with the demons, it was just really dull and didn’t have anything to it to get me pumped for a fight in fairy tail, oh yeah and the comedy, there was some really funny stuff in the manga and it flopped in the anime, the big one being when nastu claims himself as king when the actual king was gonna make his debut, in the manga it was a quick funny shot that actually was drawn really well like natsu looking down on others smugly while he claims himself as king, in the anime…..it’s just a medium that goes on longer than it should be and the static movement returns with natsu, it’s painful and disappointing to watch.
I'll explain why irene is a dragon, as explained by grandyne in the end of tartarus arc (your fav arc) all dragon slayer have dragon seed in their bodies that makes them dragons irene is the first ever dragon slayer, and explanation why natsu, gajeel, wendy, rogue and sting doesn't turno a dragon because their dragons prevented it from growing
@@irakawayashi4947 I saying not one of them gave her another celestial spirit or made. her stronger and i also remember the time she wanted to try transformation magic but everyone wanted to try it
@@user-cv6hq9ce9t Yeah if you meant by the whole series then I agree it came during Tartaros which is late but my problem isn't her not getting hand to hand combat. Her power was already cool. She just needed better fights. I wish she used Loki and Aquarius more. Fights like the one with Flare is underrated. People only hate it b/c she lost but she was kicking azz at first and that loss was necessary imo Her growth was awesome. Just slow
If you've watch fairy tail zero you can see that emotions has a big impack in the magical world of fairy tail so the power of friendship in the anime fairy tail is not exaggerating its the way how magic works
It's one of the 1st animes that I've watched it hit me hard the power of friendship moments. Years passed and I've seen all the flaws but it has a special place in my heart, wouldn't watch it again, but I'll hold it dear in me
This was fun. I never watched Fairy Tail as it came out during a time I wasn't interested in anime so all I know are the meme panels. You do a fantastic job taking shots at the show while still enjoying it.
ngl i completely agree with everything u said in this video regardless doe i love dis anime mainly because of the openings thank you for making this video 🙏🏽
I love fairy tail with a passion yes it's not the best thing out there but honestly it made me cry ALOT when I was small and when I rewatched it 5 billion times and the OP's are so good and the endings. I feel like if I never watched anime when I was small I would still like the anime if it was the first time watching anime. all I'm saying is the anime ain't even that bad y'all.
Fairy tail was awesome along the lines of "oh my freaking god, Natsu is a lighting flame dragon slayer and thats so cool" and it sucked in rhe sense "powert of friendship overcomes everything" and i believe that its more like game of thrones. The starting and the mid rocked but, the ending was absolute crap
Hmm i was agreeing with you but the plot section i found it kinda iffy cause most of the things you mentioned are teased before showing it,explained how and had a big roll for everything and as for 100yq is helping a lot on expanding the few things he left out in the main series.But yea good video
I will usually read a Manga if the anime doesn’t complete it. So I started to do that with Fairy Tail. I never picked up the Anime again after the switch. And boy oh boy did that Manga go places. Not logical places. But it went. I never bothered to finish it. I think I got to fighting in cube ships or something. Some sort of Island fight that didn’t go well? It doesn’t matter. Which is the problem. This is also quintessential nakama power crap. I mean brotherly love is great. And there is no greater love than to lay done one’s life for another. However, that is not going to take the bullet out of your head once it’s in there. The manifestation of the power of that kind of thing is nonsense here.
Well I guess we can all agree that the storyline could be better. But I think it's because fairy tail doesn't fit the shounen genre, and it's quite different from many action anime. But in the end , no anime gives the amount of feels that fairy tail does.
About the power of friendship? crazy how other shows have it too. But when popular shonen anime like one piece, dragon ball etc use the power lf friendship, nobodh gives a shit about it and keep sending hates toward fairy tail.
if you watch 2 episodes of an anime that has over 300 eps then you shoudnt be allowed to watch anime in general people like you shoud pay alot of money to even put your ugly eyes on anime
Awww. You don’t like the adventures? I loved it! Though, I do prefer Rave Master. The one Mashima wrote before FT. That one is much shorter. Like 50 episodes and then fans are expected to finish the manga. One of the few times I followed through and read the whole story vs I’m usually more of an anime only fan.
For me, there is no character development in FT. Every single character is somewhat similar or just Natsu in other forms. They don't show each character weak point and how they overcame it, rather they just slapped 'for my nakama' and they got power-up. The author also destroyed the only arc for FT guild training by transporting them to Zodiac world to have a party? Even the cool and hardcore Laxus who in the beginning try to destroy and rebuild their guild also became 'Natsu'. What a major dissappoinment. I really like how the story starts, really adore it. I even put it on par with Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Boku no Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, Fullmetal and etc. But not now.
"Fairy tail has no character development" i an convinced you didn't watch this anime jellel went from a slave to zeref building the tower of heaven and abusing his friends to accepting his sins and trying to repent for things he had no memory of he went on to fight for justice and allow others to see that there method's aren't the way and lead them on the right path just like what Natsu did for him Fairy tails writing wasn't always the same after Tatarous but it wasn't bad It's way to overhated also Fairy tail zero arc alone had well written backstory for mavis and zeref I am also disgusted that you tried to say the cast of fairy tail were just a similar part of natsu that's just concerning They act like him because its bantar The guildhall is a family they act childish around each other because they are happy and proud of the people they are surrounded with they make each other laugh and make each other cry that's not acting like natsu in anyway that's them expression there close relationships and glory but they all deal with thier own personal problems at the same time like self acceptance which grey had struggle dealing with whem his master was killed and he blamed himself for it his whole life Just cause they are laughing and acting silly does not make them just copy of natsu
FT started well, but it quickly lost the momentum and slowly got worse over the years. It suffered the same fate as most shonen titles. Good start but slow goes downhill.

I think fairy tail is actually good and the story and characters are good. I wont deny that the final season could be better and fake out death are a problem but natsu expect some fights like acnologia and zeref part 2 Natsu doesn't use power of friendship if you don't believe me th-cam.com/video/2DhUKZLiMic/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared It crealy shows that you didn't payed attention to the show and it makes me mad when you don't understant that natsu wins because he consumes fire and other elements if he just let his energy turn off. i wont deny that it has problems like fake out deaths and the final season was anticlimactic but it has good characters the cast is likable and the female characters are better than naruto's .The story in my opinion is actually good, simple but interesting and the lore and the villans are also well written especially ultear, jellal, zeref and hades. Fairy tail is not a masterpiece or better than naruto and one piece but i concider it better than dragon ball z and demon slayer in many ways like characters and story. It also has good life lessons. And why you say that it could have been so much more or that is missed potential which is not true. And the review in my opinion could be more detailed. I respectfuly disagree with this review
No hate here but Natsu was able to eat that crystal in the shot after he gave a monologue about friends and fought on behalf of Erza friendship power style. Wasn’t as on the nose as others but the concept is still there. Plus it’s fun to poke at
@@siphemanana2551 KnY is the most garbage ahh story out there, so no denying that, one difference is that, people would ONLY like it for it's animation and that's kinda sad
@SockSensei Luffy ended Kaido with his last words being, "I want a world where my friends can eat all they want." If that is not the definition of power of friendship monolog or power of friendship in general, I don't know what it is. Luffy does it everyone applauds, Natsu does it FairyTail trash. I don't mind criticism but it is these kinds of double standards that get on my nerves. Specially the fake out deaths one. People act as if One Piece didn't have fake out deaths all the time. Like how the fuck are Kiku and Kinemon still alive? One Piece has fan service to the brim, they shove us Nami's boobs in our faces all the time not to mention the revealing outfits the femals wear nearly all the time, Nico Robin fought black Maria with a form that looked as if she was naked ohh but because it is One Piece its okay. Don't even get me started on Dragon Ball were deaths are a complete and utter joke but yet it gets praised. FairyTail is the prime example of mob behavior and socially acceptance. Since it is socially accepted to trash on FairyTail then everybody points out its flaws. And since the others are socially accepted even though they also have these tropes they let it slide. And this is coming from someone who's favorite anime and manga is indeed One Piece. But unlike other people I am consistent when it comes to these kinds of criticisms.
