Plot holes run rampant in this anime and character motivations are seldom explored. Also many of the most interesting characters including Erza, Zeref, Jellal etc suffer deeply from a lack of screen time. Fairy tail tries but fails miserably at this not because of its inability to hype up sequences but because of the inability to follow up on it which leads to extremely boring battles and plot conclusions.

Now a typical aspect of shounens is 'hyping up' every battle and every showdown for eg Shokugeki no Souma does this excellently. There are some episode that will try to fit in a lot of content in the space of just one episode and others where there will be nothing of consequence done over the course of many episodes, a problem that arises from dragging out episodes is the extremely corny dialogue that is quite often cringe worthy.

The pacing of the story is horribly inconsistent and extremely slow paced. I confess that i was among that devout fan following and loved FT like it was the greatest anime ever (this was about 3 years ago mind you) so how is it that a fan like me is giving this sequel such a low score? Lets begin. The main reasons were the fact that it had extremely consistent animation, brilliant soundtracks and very likable characters along with interesting arcs that didn't drag on and fights that were short and sweet.

The 'power of friendship' cliches but it still managed ti garner a pretty huge and devout fan following. Sure it had the 'plot convenient' power ups and Now the original anime wasn't anything special or groundbreaking by any means however it was an anime that managed to avoid the majority of the pitfalls associated with long running anime like Naruto, Bleach etc. *NOTE: Due to the nature of this series some comparisons between the new series and the original run will arise but generally this review is spoiler free.įairy Tail (2014) was a highly anticipated sequel to the original run of Fairy Tail which lasted from 2009 to 2013.
