Man, at the beginning, I was really in love with Fairy Tail but as time went by I realized it was really bad (I still watch it though). The fights are shit (they're literally freeze frames at times), they are sooo predictable in fights and avoid logic and consistency, the character development is ass and the villains are ass but if they're good villains, they'll switch sides eventually. It's filled with Mary Sues and Gary Stus (basically characters without flaw or development). The ecchi is over the top to the point it's degrading and makes me like the females less. I never need to see enough to know that they don't even have nipples like seriously, wtf? Also, if the plot is predictable at least make it an emotional ride. It fails to do that though. I only watch the anime but I was really about to drop it until (spoiler incoming just to be safe):I am not a fan of Naruto or DBZ as I used to be. Fairy Tail is my life
Gray vs Silver saved the day. The plot twist that it was actually Deliora, but then turns out it was still his dad. It was an amazing fight and Silver really saved the anime.
Because I like Fairy Tail so much, the fact that it has so many flaws just bothers me more. When I take it as simply a fun show then I can look past that but so much potential gone, mayne. Lucy is my waifu though.
