[Discussion] Why Fairy Tail is loved/hated so much

[Legitbeans]

If you noticed, most people really love (like reeeallly love) Fairy Tail, or they hate the crap out of it. There are rarely people in between.

I was browsing through a youtube comment and I found this really good quote that sums up the reason behind the hate/love gap:

"The thing is that Fairy Tail goes all the way and stand strong with its point[friendship and the power of bonds], which gives it all the shonen goodness it has (similarly to One Piece, which isn't surprising since Fairy Tail's author looks up to Oda). It doesn't try to be dark and edgy (Bleach, for a while now) or to try go too deep into meanings (Naruto). It just stays with its roots and that's all it needs.

That's what people may like or hate about Fairy Tail. To me, that's the show's strength. Straight forward and simple."
-Chuca (or something like that)

For sure, this is the reason I love Fairy Tail. I came for the fanservice (lucy tho), but stayed for the feels (so much feels) and badassery.

tldr: Just read my post. it's not even that long/

Edit: Oh, it's my 100th post! hehe

I really like the series because of the storyline.
The characters are pretty bad ass, and since I've started the series why not finish it?

 

[Remion18]

Its a perverted fanserviced anime.

 

[I'm stupid real stupid]

Too much love and feelings..the anime is only for girls

But dat Laxus tho *_*

 

[Jinrou]

Someone showed me the Erza vs 100 monsters fight then I got hooked. Never really paid attention to the fanservice part because I think the fights are awesome! And I really like Wendy too ^^

The fanservice, it gets annoying time and again, but after all I've seen in anime, I've gotten somewhat used to it. But if I had to guess the main reason why I don't like it, it's probably because yeah, my preferences include series that have deep meaning. I just never liked the simple kind of stuff. U_U

 

[Chibiusa]

I watched like 6 or so eps and it bored me. Never picked it back up

LoL at the people hating FT

 

[jhamz]

Whether hated or not, FT catching attention means something.
Haters gonna hate.
People hating on FT is the same as why the Magic Council hates FT - cuz they're awesome and more famous than them

 

[Lord Orochimaru]

Because its lovely that's why they love it but due to Uchiha problem, the fall in too much love and then lose track in NarutoBase so they hate it.

Every comment made so far just proves the original point, people either love it or hate it, there isn't much in the way of middle ground (apart from the people who just haven't read it).

Personally, I am a serious Fairy Tail fangirl, and one of the many Dragon Slayer groupies.

Lol...You got it wrong.

for you.......but I asked my cousin why he likes it soooooo much he said it was because of the fanservice

 

[Memento Mori]

Lol.....Say then if it was just fanservice then why does many other manga which contain a lot more fanservice than FT lacks in popularity compared to FT? Lol

 

[JackelLord]

I only liked it at first because it was comical but the series became too cheesy really quickly. Also no goals, no clear plot, no character development for Natsu, repeatitive fights and friendship speeches.

And lastly a Sh*t ton of Fanservice during serious moments.

FT has waaay more fanservice than most other mangas. It's pretty much the only reason why most people like it. U_U
