[Discussion] I really tried to like Fairy Tail...

[Memento Mori]

I agree with this, and he is releasing really a lot of stuff, like bigger chapters and colored pages, he is doing really more than someone like the one that made Nardo

Yeah,I Agree with you

Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, but for some reason it happens a lot with FT, more so than with other series, that people are seeing what they want to see just so that they could say it's ripped off, while it isn't or in the least it's something so universal that saying it's ripped off can only be seen as a sign of ill will.

Names?

I'm not going to start searching for all the names and compare them, but the only one that comes to mind are Natsu Tanimoto and Natsu Dragneel and Natsu isn't really a unique name. Sorry, but that is not even remotely a rip off. Have you any idea how many Yamato's, Sengoku's, Sakura's and Minato's are out there? Many of these Japanese names are like the equivalent of an American character being named Jack or John. Fact is that FT even has quite a large variety of names. Hiro so far has used Japanese, Dutch, German, English, American, Spanish etc. names.

There are no names being ripped off in FT, that's just you thinking because a name that appears there also appears somewhere else, it must be a rip off.

Ninja Cats?

Where are there ninja cats? The Exceed? Sorry, but other than that both have the ability to speak -and Naruto isn't the first series with talking animals and cats- there is nothing really that makes them the same. Not to mention I seriously wonder if Naruto was even the first one of the two to have a talking cat in the series as Happy was introduced in chapter one, though I'm not really going to bother to check that. The two concepts are very different.

Tailed beasts and dragons?

Are you now serious? Have you any idea how many series there are with monsters like that? And their concepts are completley different. Dragons are an actual species in FT, while the Tailed Beasts have a set number, were created and play an important role in the entire concept of Jinchuriki's and the like. They are not the same. It's impossible to even consider that as a rip off.

Magic and jutsu?

Ki, reatsu, chakra, magic...this is one of the most recurrent concepts in manga series. This is something so universal it's impossible to steal it unless it would be word for word. The concept of 'jutsu' isn't even something Kishi created, it already existed in real life and nearly every manga that is of the fantasy/supernatural genre has people running around that spam elements, control shadows and whatnot which originate from a 'source'.

Guilds and villages?

If anything they are the complete opposite. Ninja villages are hidden, are practically a military and do even assassination jobs. Guilds are right in the middle of the cities, are in the hands of individual persons, they can't fight among each other, belong under the same organization, can not take things like assassination jobs etc.


What you did was intentionally trying to see things of FT being ripped off from other series, while the reality is that none of the things you listed got stolen. FT and OP have the same vibe, but that's very superficial and comes from the whole 'nakama' theme, which comes from Goku of Dragonball. There isn't any significant thing in FT that could be considered being ripped off from OP as it's too common. Same thing with people who claim that OP has been ripping off from FT.

This pretty much sums everything up. Infact, nearly everything stems from Goku of Dragonball. It's laughable to say that FT is a rip off of other successful manga when those successful manga are also technically rip offs of Dragonball. Ki came first, then the rest just changed the names and gave it their own perception. Chakra, Reatsu, Magic power - All stem from Ki. They are all the same thing - One's own inner energy. Spiritual pressure = power level from DBZ. If you actually give Fairy Tail a fair chance and avoid looking for similarities, you'll find that it is in it's own right quite good. I don't know how closely the anime follows the manga, but I'd say pretty damn closely considering I have yet to find any inconsistencies. Even the Fillers are consistent with the storyline. Given how much of FT I've watched, it has the action-packed fight scenes that Bleach has to offer, the main character has the determination to never give up from Naruto, friendship is the most powerful factor comes from One piece or DB - Whichever way you want to look at it -, it even has all the humorous antics you find in One piece and Naruto. It has heartfelt moments that the others lack. Fairy Tail is unique in its own right, as is Naruto, Bleach and One piece. Also, it's hard to create a unique name that hasn't been thought of before.

I just hate the nakama part which triumphs over everything even when FT members are dying...

FT Members can't die due to the protection the tree of Tenrou Island gives them.

Yea I tried watching the anime. Pretty sure I gave it a fair shake but I'm thinking of giving it another shot.

Just seemed underwhelming for the most part. It often feels rushed (particularly the fights that should be more dramatic). And natsu' plot power /willpower seems a bit more obvious than most anime main characters.

Doesn't seem dark enough.. U don't have to say who but does anyone ever die on screen/panel?

It's fu**** epic! Give it another try! You won't regret it, it'll get better and better imo.
(also look at the dude as my Avy&Sig he's too awesome.)

You should totally give it a another try, the second season of the anime is pretty awesome

 

[Dresden]

why is everybody trying to compare FT with naruto

 

[Kagustuchi]

Fairy Tail was always described to me as a mix of One Piece and Naruto to mixed results.​

[ethris]

I've never tried to read it, but i've heard so much negativity about it, so i i don't think i'll start

i wouldnt go by that, your missing out. Where would the world be today if everyone just followed what others say?..it'd be a world of killing eachother in the name of "justice"..oh wait thats the world we live in today..
