That's because a lot of people don't watch things critically and once they start to like the characters, then everything is set.

If you really want to get into FT, I recommend you read the manga and don't have high expectations. FT is a happy-go-lucky series where the good guys always win and it doesn't take itself too seriously. If you watch it just to watch it, you just might enjoy it. Watch as a critic, you just might hate it.
Bottomline is, don't think too much about the scenes or go into depth with the series or you just might be turned away. Remember, kept your expectations to a minimum. FT is all about entertainment. Things like story, development and drama isn't a strong trait of FT.

I personally enjoy it a lot. Sure the plot is lacking but it entertains me so I guess that's all that matters.

Its not that good as people say though the current arc in the manga is the best one in the entire series what i hate the most in ft is that when a ft member fights someone they always win by friendship power and bs like this like natsu saying i can hear them all or such things,though i hope mashima will not make the same mistakes anymore.
It are 400 chapters since yesterday.
I actually never considered FT to be a real shounen series. If you would ask the question who is the male character that makes it a shounen, it would be Natsu and the mysteries that surround Natsu indeed form an important part of the plot. However in the end most of the time this is pushed to the background and only sporadically touched. Only in the most recent arcs it became more prominent, but for the rest the series always focused on the Fairy Tail guild as a whole and the group of Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Happy and Erza in particular. I mean FT has an unusual amount of strong female characters that are very prominent.
And the ones who said it's a bad or not a great series aren't? What you just said in itself can be considered a very strong representation of being biased.
And a lot of people watch things too critically, ruining pretty much the entire thing for themselves and then try to ruin it for other people too. Once they deem something bad, everything is set likewise.
That point is something me, and countless other of FT fans, have been saying for a hellish long amount of time. FT is not, has never been and never has had the intention to be series with a deep, complex plot and whatnot. It's a simple series meant to entertain you. To be blunt it's a series where you first set everything in your head on <zero> and then enjoin the series. And it works.
I deem OP the best series ever because it has such a complex and intricate plot, however such a plot also requires that you keep focused and after a while that feels really liked your weighted down. For example this is very noticeable in Naruto where Kishi has been hammering endlessly on that dualism of Sasuke - Naruto/Madara - Hashirama etc. and the symbolism behind it of Yin/Yang. By now that really feels like a metal ball and chain to your leg. FT is the ideal remedy for that, no thinking, just go. It's that simple and it's this that made the DB franchise so great. Hiro even said that he was strongly influenced by DB.
If you would start critically analyzing DBZ, it would be horrible. Extremely straightforward plot with barely any depth, an entire arsenal of plotholes and the most screwed-up power scale ever. Still its popularity was and still is ridiculous. Why? Because it's simple and entertaining, its bad points are fare outweighed by its good points. It has proven to be a successful recipe. Despite all the critics and the like you do not achieve what FT has achieved so far by being a good series, it is a great series. You can start critically analyzing for yourself FT and judge it's a bad series, however that is something personal. There are several series I personally don't like, but are without a doubt great series.
FT is a great series simply for the reason it has achieved so far. So to answer the question of this thread just check it out and decide for yourself what you think of it. Personally though I always prefer the mange over the anime. The FT anime has some sick soundtracks though and quality was I have found it most of the time better than several other popular anime.
I would like to add another often overlooked yet pertinent reason, the author Hiro Mashima, he really cares for his fans, be it 3 chapters in a week, spin offs, crossovers, fan-arts, the man cares for the people who read his manga, he never shies away from work and tries to give the best to the fans, his art is great and his sheer dedication to his work, makes him stand out.
For a reader of mangas like HxH, Berserk, which are laden with hiatuses Mashima comes as a reprieve. His attitude has not changed since his Rave days and his dedication towards series has only increased.
As for the Plot of Fairy Tail, it's for both kind of fans, those who analyse it and read it very deeply are satiated in the end and for those who just skim through the manga it's completely enjoying.

Okay now getting to the Plot.....It is not that Hiro can't do a good plot,it is just that he choose not to!Hiro Already proved with Rave Master that he can create good plot.Also people who are whining about Main Characters always wins,It is what hiro said himself.Also Main characters always wins at the end but is just that Hiro doing this early without any time taking prolongings.
