First of all, watch it! I remember watching the first anime ep looking for new anime/manga and was instantly sucked in from that point on although I can see why some people would need to give a few eps a go, not to everyone's taste! I still watch that first episode every now and then, never gets old! In saying that, some episodes aren't as 'actiony' as others but the fun and humour is good to which make up for it.
I download the anime eps from Horriblesubs every Saturday (Australian time zone), google it and it should be the first link. They do 480, 720 and 1080 for Fairy Tail and most other anime including Naruto and One Piece.
