Not going to lie, this video made me feel inside. I'm not an emotional person but watching this video made my insides ache a bit.

I wasn't sure what I watching until the end and after it was over I wasn't sure where to go next, so I came here.

Shelter is a 6 min long music video telling the story of a girl who creates her own world while living in a dream world. The music is absolutely fantastic and combined with the animation makes this an incredibly powerful 6 minutes to experience.

I love watching imagination come to life so this was definitely something I enjoyed.

Not ... much else can be said, a good song combined with great animation equals an enjoyable and touchy feely experience.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Seireri Tsukai no Blade Dance (Bladedance of Elementalers) is about females born of noble families that go to a school to become elementalers that form contracts with different kinds of spirits. Only females have really been known to do this and it changes things up for them when Kamito Kazehaya, a male elementaler, start going to the school. Kamito first meets Claire Rouge, who is attempting to form a contract with a powerful spirit. Kamito controls the spirit in order to save Claire's life and she forces him to become her slave for "stealing" her spirit.

Right from the beginning, the story is incredibly confusing, I ... had no idea what was really going on until the 3rd of 4th episode. Like I said before, only females are known to attend this school, so the entire series is about Kamito Kazehaya surrounded by loli looking girls. There are a total of 2 guys that appear throughout this anime, one of them being Kamito. The rest of girls. Needless to say, it is a Harem anime. Aside from the story being confusing right from the beginning, I can't knock it entirely because it is a Fantasy anime and there's a lot of plot points that the viewer needs to understand. I can say thought that the anime does get better as you watch it and start understanding what's going on. I didn't start enjoying it until about halfway through.

All this anime is about is these students learn to control and make contract with spirits in order to use them in fights against other students in duels. They fight to earn their spot in a prestigious tournament called a Blade Dance, with the winner granted any wish they desire (I think?). The story is rather vague as a whole and leads me to believe the Manga is infinitely better than the Anime. I was left with a lot of questions at the end. There was a lot left to show by the end of the anime but to me it seems this anime wasn't popular enough to get a sequel season or that maybe it's just not a priority.

There wasn't anything particularly special about the characters. They all seemed pretty generic and cliche. None of them were by any means bad but I feel like I've seen these exact same characters in other anime. The art was bright and fine, pretty much just your average anime girls running around using spirits to do their bidding. Although the spirits weren't exactly exciting to see, there was a lot of variety in each girls spirit, which is nice to see. The one other guy besides Kamito in particular is actually pretty cool to see.

All and all, there wasn't anything special about this anime, it wasn't bad but it wasn't really good either, it was pretty average and fine. There are better anime to watch out there but if this one catches your eye, don't turn away from it. Judge it for yourself but I do believe the Manga would be better.

Likes:
-All of the girls at the school call Kamito a "Lewd Beast" and "Demon Lord of the Bedroom" and it's hilarious because he's literally done nothing and always been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
-The spirits aren't really exciting but it's still cool to see. Also, Est gets a human form, is it because she's overpowered or can other spirits look human too?

Dislikes:
-So many cliches, it's hard to handle
-SPOILERS
They beat Jio midway through the season and then he just disappears, they didn't kill him or anything (as far as I know), what happened to him?

Cowboy Bebop is set in the future well intergalactic travel is normal and everyone has their own spaceship. Spike Spiegel and his partner Jet Black are two bounty hunters and owners of the spaceship Bebop. Later joined by Faye Valentine, Ed and Ein, the group fly around in space, taking on bounties to survive. Each bounty they take is more trouble than they are worth but they take them with good hearts and a good sense of humor. You learn more and more about each character as the series rolls on a grow strongly attached to each of them by the end.

The series is very ... episodic in a way that each episode has no real relation to each other, except the double part episodes. There isn't really a story to be told aside from the group hunting bounties and Spike dealing with his past. That is the reason it took me so long to watch this series. Although I enjoyed watching the characters and their adventures, I found it rather hard to start the next episode. There wasn't exactly a draw that hooked me into watching it. That, however was my only problem with the series. Aside from that, I thought it was absolutely fantastic.

The characters are absolutely phenomenal. Many episodes explain more about each characters past and makes you grow attached to each other them. I can't say there was a character that I disliked from this series as they were all so different and so interesting to watch. My personal favorite was Faye. I don't want to give anything away, but she has a couple rather interesting episodes that bring tears to my eyes. Each character has somewhat of a sad past, each of them having someone they loved and lost and rediscovering them in different ways.

I watched it dubbed because I heard that the dub was amazing and many say even better. I thought it was great, no complaints at all. It's not in a setting where Japanese culture matters, I suppose. The music is jazzy and the intro will be stuck in my head for the rest of my life. I don't care too much for art from the 90's but for an anime from 1998, I thought it looked amazing. One thing I do want to point out though, was that everyone in the anime appeared human. I don't know exactly how much of space they explored or how many planets they go to, but everyone was human. It's not a complaint or anything, just pointing that out.

Aside from the patchy story, I thought Cowboy Bebop was an amazing anime. It was really entertaining, the action is violent, the characters are lovable, the humor is rich, pretty much everything you could ask for.

Likes:
-All the characters were fantastic, learning about a characters backstory is something I love and Cowboy Bebop explains each of theirs incredibly well.
-"SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY..." was something I loved seeing at the end of each episode, it's so small and simple yet I absolutely loved it.
-I really wish I could fly around in space and hunt bounties across the stars

Dislikes:
-The ending really bothered me, not exactly the ending really, but what happens leading to the ending. If that makes sense.

In a world where 80% of the population develop "Quirks" that allow them to use special superpowers, "All men are not created equal". Boku no Hero Academia follows Izuku Midoriya who is apart of the 20% without these "Quirks" but strives to become a hero like his idol, All Might, the world's Symbol of Peace and greatest hero. After an encounter with All Might, Izuku learns his secret and with All Might's help, enrolls in U. A. High School to become the hero he's always dreamed of being.

Boku no Hero Academia is Marvel/DC comics meets Naruto. Everything you see seems to come right out of ... a comic book. It's exciting, action filled and incredibly interesting to watch. The superpowers are really cool to see and the conflicts are exhilarating. The characters and their powers are all unique and each one is very interesting to see. Though the anime does seem to focus more on the display of their powers rather than the characters themselves. There are a lot of characters to see but you only learn about a few of them. Also, the Villains are very vague in their presence and not much can be said about them. There is a second season on the way and hopefully it'll elaborate more on the characters.

There wasn't much of a story to be told. Nothing is too cliche or predictable but mostly the entire 13 episodes is about Izuku learning to be a hero. The most you can expect out the series is superpowers on display in a comic book feel, which is awesome to watch. Not much else can be said about this anime, I really enjoyed watching it and to me, that's all that matters. I can't wait for the next season.

Likes:
-I loved watching each super power used
-All Might's "weak form" made me laugh
-The characters are all incredibly intriguing and I would really like to learn more about them in the next season.
-The anime ended with sequel bait so I'm excited to see what enfolds in the next season.

Dislikes:
-It made me cringe every time Izuku would break his limbs

This review contains SPOILERS so continue at your own risk. Also some possible strong language and somewhat of a rant.

First off I'm not a fan of incest, deciding on whether it's wrong or right to me comes down to how I feel if it was me with one of my sisters and that thought disgusts me. But I'm sure that's how most people are too. But the other argument is that you can't help who you love that itself is totally valid. And I guess I can admire those who don't care what other people think and do what makes them happy. I'm not judgmental ... and its none of business so whatever. That being said, I really could care less about seeing incest in anime or other fiction. I've seen Yosuga no Sora and that made me really uncomfortable but this time around I really didn't care. I was honestly just waiting for it to happen and be over and done with. But watching it happen was really hard and not because of the incest.

So far I've been disappointed with every single ending of this anime. I liked the idea of adding in a sort of alternate ending to each season's finale. The second season's ending really needed some more elaboration. The original ending to the season was pretty terrible and my research shows that it was the ending for two months before this string of episodes came out. And if I was a viewer of this series when it came out, that would've pissed me off. Though I'm still a little pissed with the ending they gave here. Let's dive in.

During the first episode, Christmas is coming up and Kyosuke wants to spend it with Kirino. He plans to go to Akihabara with her for a date. Before the date, he tells Kuroneko that he cannot go out with her because he is in love with Kirino, leaving her heartbroken *sad face*. During Kyosuke and Kirino's date, Kyosuke tells Kirino that he is in love with someone, and this causes Kirino to run away. With help, Kyosuke finds her and admit that she is the one that he in love with and asks her to marry him. After repeated telling him how creepy he is for being in love with his sister and telling him she hates him and how wrong this is, she accepts his proposal. WOW REALLY?

During the second episode, Kirino admits that she was going to confess her love to Kyosuke and was sure that he would refuse. TIME OUT, she was literally just yelling at him the first episode, telling him how gross is was for siblings to love each other and calling him a creep and a pervert and how she hates him and blah blah blah, I call bullshit on her confession. Next, Kyosuke gives her an engagement ring and they plan out how they are going to go about their relationship in a way that works, with the viewer not being able to hear how exactly. Kyosuke then goes to Kanako's concert where she confesses her love for him, which he of course refuses, this is girl #3 now. Kyosuke and Kirino then go home where they try to do things that couples do and they both listen to a recording Kirino made 3 years prior where you find out that Kirino has been in love with Kyosuke for a long time and that apparently being a bitch to him all the time was her way of trying to get him to like her. And apparently it worked, WOW.

During the third episode, Both siblings graduate from school and walk home to find Manami. Manami doesn't approve of their relationship and after a physical fight with Kirino explains that no matter what they do, they will never be accepted as a couple and that they can never be married. Manami then tries to make them end their relationship, even going as far as confessing her own love for Kyosuke (girl #4) only for Kyosuke to say that he only loves Kirino and will endure everything to be with her. Kyosuke and Kirino then get married in a fake wedding where they kiss and end their relationship because they decided that after they graduated they would no longer be a couple and they would go back to being siblings. This is how the series ends. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Kyosuke has 4 girls confess his love for him and he refuses because he only loves his sister. He and his sister start a relationship that probably didn't last longer that a week and now they are back to being siblings. Are you serious? I admire the siblings for realizing that their relationship is taboo and nobody will accept them and it will be next to impossible for them to be together but holy hell, don't build up an entire series with love getting deny at every corner just for it to end with nobody being happy.

Personally, I don't like the harem kind of genre and OreImo pretty much embodies why. In most anime, it's more comical and "haha this guy has 5 girls that want him, and they all compete for his love". But I'm a considerate person and whenever I watch them it kinda just makes me sad because at some point, the one who's center of the harem will have to pick one of the girls/guys and leave the others heartbroken. And in OreImo, that's exactly what happens. four girls confess their love for Kyosuke and all (except Kanako I guess) were left heartbroken after he refused and cried. It's really hard to watch and it made really sad. Especially afterwards when he was only with his sister for like a week. Really? He did like them, he really liked Kuroneko and I really enjoyed their relationship. It's just frustrating to watch. And I get that he didn't want to be with them because of Kirino but after they ended their relationship because they knew it'd never work, just get over it and be with one of the other girls where things can work.

The characters themselves are actually really great, most of them made me laugh and I enjoyed watching them. Kyosuke in particular takes SO much abuse throughout the entire series and it is absolutely hilarious and you really feel bad for him. I loved watching Ayase beat the crap out of him pretty much every single time they are together. I really disliked Kirino though, I thought she was a total bitch and her tsundere attitude is totally unbearable and I praise Kyosuke as a god for putting up with her crap for as long as he does. I really don't care how much you care for someone, if they treat you like crap the way that Kirino treats Kyosuke throughout pretty much the entire series, you will snap at some point and put them in check and you certainly will not far in love with them, unless you like that abuse.

Now I wanna break down each girl
-Kirino- Everyone who watches this anime knows that at some point she and Kyosuke were going to get together and when they did, it was fine despite the incest. But the way it ended was just terrible and them actually loving each other and treating each other as a couple was really odd due to the fact that you see Kirino treat Kyosuke like crap the entire series.
-Kuroneko- She was the character that never changed and when she let her guard down and began a relationship with Kyosuke, I thought it was really sweet. And watching her get hurt when he turns her down later made me really sad. She'd definitely be the girl I'd choose to end up with Kyosuke.
-Ayase- Ever since she and Kyosuke first encountered each other, she thought he was a creepy, sister-loving pervert and hated him. She'd kick his ass every time they were together and it was hilarious. Every encounter with Kyosuke is met with disgust and it really confuses me that she falls in love with him. She really had no business confessing her love after hating him the entire series.
-Manami- From the beginning I liked her, she was sweet and was kinda just that good friend everyone has that you can talk to. Then the end of the series came around and you really start to question her. In the end she gave off that vibe that she was manipulative and conniving and I kinda liked that. It gave it a little twist and explains why Kirino hates her so much. Kyosuke friend zoned the hell out of her and showed almost no interest in her.
-Kanako- Now this one really confused me. Of all the girls that confessed their love for Kyosuke, this one was the most irrelevant. They encountered each other on very few occasions and a love relationship between the two didn't make sense at all. And like Ayase she really had no business confessing her love to Kyosuke. Though their encounters were more or less friendlier and more friendlier, they'd never seem more than friends to me.

Likes:
-I loved that towards the end Manami was depicted as sort of a yandere type character and although she was really sweet and nice, cracks in her personality started to show at the end
-I loved Kuroneko, I knew they wouldn't be together in the end but I enjoyed the relationship between her and Kyosuke
-I seriously can't help but love Kyosuke, he's an idiot in the love category but watching him put up with all his sister's crap and just his nonchalant demeanor was really enjoyable. He doesn't take things too seriously and mostly won't freak out over situations that a lot of male leads would.
-Sena ended up going out with someone in the end so at least someone is happy.

Dislikes:
-The ending was complete garbage and I seriosuly can't believe they ended this series that way
-Watching the tears of heartbreak from all the girls that were denied Kyosuke's love was really hard to watch
-I absolutely hated Kirino, the whole series was literally just showing how much of her BS Kyosuke will put up with and still want her around.
-Why couldn't Kyosuke end up with Kuroneko? I thought she was adorable and if he couldn't be with his sister then he should've been with her. The fact that he completely turned her down was really annoying and even though he and sister decided to not have boyfriends/girlfriends until whatever the hell time, he could've asked to her to wait until that time came. I mean, it's anime, you know she would've waited.

First off, I love this series. It expressed social anxiety in a way that was very accurate and hilarious at the same time. And although social anxiety isn't something to that to laugh at in particular, it was still refreshing to watch and makes you want to extend a hand to those who don't fit in.

That being said, I didn't much care for this OVA. It involves Tomoko meeting a boy on the school's roof in very odd ways with the episode featuring both character's perspectives of the encounters. To me, it was very boring and hard to watch. I thought it was confusing right ... from the start and I didn't understand was going on until it went to Tomoko's perspective. I didn't enjoy it much at all and I was honestly just waiting for it to be over so that I can move on to a different anime.

I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad OVA but after watching the whole series and enjoying every second of it and then watching this episode, it left me in a very off putting way and I kinda just walked away from it. It's like watching a series you really love and once you are finished, you get that feeling like you don't know how you're going to move on, then you watch a really crappy episode of it and you're completely over it. And to be honest, I wish more great series had crappy episodes for the viewers to watch once they finish in order to kill that feeling and make it easier to move on.

But I'm not saying don't watch it, it's only a 27 min long episode, so watch it and judge it for yourself. I personally loved the series as a whole and this was the only episode that I hated.

Tomoko Kuroki is a girl who is just starting high school. All she does is play games, read manga and watch anime. She suffers from a horrible case of social anxiety and although she wants to fit in and have friends, it's incredibly difficult for her. Each episode involves Kuroki trying to come up with ways for others to notice her and admire her but everything she tries to do comes from the games that she plays and the anime that she watches. Nothing goes right and she is alienated by her classmates.

It's very weird but everything that Kuroki thinks, says and experiences is all ... too similar to me. When I was in school, I didn't have any friends, and I barely talked to anyone. I suffered from social anxiety and never knew how to talk to others. The things I see Kuroki do to try and fit in all incredibly similar to the things I tried to do. Just like her, I would get social advice from TV and video games and try to use it in real life (which didn't work). Just like her, I'd lie to try and make myself seem cooler. Just like her, I'd try to develop a persona that everyone would admire. I'd embarrass myself and feel pretty terrible and lonely. While watching Kuroki live her life, all I could picture was myself in her shoes, because I've been there, that's how I lived my teenage years. It's really hard trying to fit in when you can't talk to people. But what I really loved is that Kuroki never gave up on trying to fit in. In each episode she would think of something new to try and get people to notice her.

Although social anxiety is really sad and not exactly something you should get comedy out of, it was pretty funny to watch Kuroki live her sad depressing life. It is cringe comedy, so if you don't like seeing cringyness then you might not enjoy it. But one of the main reason I enjoyed it so much is because I know what it's like. Kuroki's personality towards others is so perfect and what she thinks of everyone is absolute gold. Kuroki's character is so perfect, it's amazing how well developed of a character she is.

As for the sound, I did watch it dubbed and although Monica Rial is probably the English voice actress that I hate the most, I think she did an amazing job making Kuroki as cringy as possible. Dubs always have their flaws, but I think this one was pretty good. The music, I thought was amazing, the opening scared the crap out me the first time because I wasn't expecting it, but it's absolutely one my favorite openings.

I thought this anime was amazing, it really projects social anxiety in a realistic and comedic way. I can say first hand that the Slice of Life nature of this anime is incredibly accurate. This anime will make you cringe a bit but it's still really fun to watch.

Likes:
-Kuroki, almost everything about her is exactly how I was when I was in high school and kinda still am today. It's actually pretty eerie how similar we are and I'd like to know how many others feel the same way. We are not alone.
-The social anxiety aspect of the show is pretty cringe but it's absolutely accurate
-The references to games/anime were pretty fun to watch

Dislikes:
-I'm not a big fan of cringe comedy, so at times it was a bit hard to watch

First off, if you want to watch this anime chronologically, I would suggest you watch the first 3 episodes of the OVAs and then watch the anime series. The OVAs have no real story, they are just a bunch of random episodes but the first 3 episodes do happen before the series, which has a plot to it. Episode 4 as well is caught in between episodes 7 and 8 in the series but every other OVA is after the series. Hope that clears things up for those who don't know what to watch first, like I was.

Now with that being said, this anime is ... about Keita and his twin stepsisters, Ako and Riko and the fact that the twins are madly in love with Keita. The OVAs focus each episode on the twins' attempts to woo Keita, who keeps denying any feelings for his sisters even though we all know that's total crap. We know they are going to do stuff and that's why we're watching.

Now like I said, the OVAs don't have an interlocking story, they are just random episodes with plots within them. But they are pretty funny episodes. It's the same sexual and dirty humor that you see throughout the series and it never gets old to me. The OVAs are definitely more dirty and sexual that the series. You still don't see anything other than bare bottoms. It's still very ecchi but in more of a tasteful kind of way, and in a way that you can have all the sexual elements in the show but it's still not hentai.

In comparison to the series, it's pretty much exactly the same, just taken a bit higher. The series is sexual and dirty but not every episode is, most are, but not all. There is an actual plot and more going on other than the twins trying to get into Keita's pants. But the OVAs just give plots that can focus on the sexual nature of the anime. Each episode of the OVA involves the three, sometimes more than those three, in a scenario where the twins try to get closer to Keita. Each episode has the same baseline but each episode is very different, if that makes sense. And that makes each episode very watchable.

The series is probably the dirtiest I've ever seen but my range of anime that I have seen is small compared to most so I could be surprised in the future. The dirty nature of the show made me both laugh and cringe. But that's what I expected. When I first started the anime, I seriously was not expecting it to be this sexual but I still didn't bother me. It is funny to watch and if you're comfortable watching anime characters make out a lot, then you'll be fine watching this series. The sexual nature of the show never really tired me out of the anime, it's kind of just what you expect when you're watching it.

Likes:
-The characters are pretty well developed and enjoyable to watch
-The characters' bodies are really realistic and the series relies entirely on the characters themselves to make it sexual, rather than how big their boobs are and the fact that you're seeing them.
-The humor is hilarious and it brings out the pervertedness in all of us and there's nothing wrong with that.

Dislikes:
-GOOD GOD, THE PARENTS. SPOILER(but not really) There is an episode where the parents are listening to their kids doing some erotic shit in their house and they don't even care. They are happy that their kids are potentially doing it and it frustrates the hell out of me.

First things first, I initially didn't know whether to watch the OVAs first or this series. Now that I've seen both, I'd recommend watching the first 3 episodes of the OVA before starting this series. The OVAs don't affect the story much but the first 3 episodes do take some toll in the series. Episode 4 of the OVA does happen after episode 7 of this series but it doesn't affect any part of the series. Everything else in the OVAs is just random stories that happen after this series is finished. But I hope this helps those who are just starting the series.

This may ... be difficult to write about. More just putting my thoughts into words. I enjoyed this anime, I thought the comedy was hilarious and the characters are great. The relationship between the characters didn't even bother.

The anime revolves around Keita and his older twin sisters, Ako and Riko. At the start of the anime you find that Ako and Riko are in love with Keita and they both want him to do "naughty" things with them. And you also see that Keita wants both of them as well. BUT, you also find out that Keita and the twins aren't blood related and that they are step siblings. So the incest angle gets thrown out the window. I normally have a huge problem with incest angles but when they aren't blood related, I'm totally fine with it.

Now that given said, you also find out that they've been siblings since they were in Kindergarten, and there's no problem there, but they still grew up together as siblings and you've always seen them as sisters. Now again, they aren't blood related so if they want to be together, there's no problem there. But if it was me, I know I wouldn't be able to do that, I'd only ever see them as sisters and nothing more. Though, Keita initially only sees them as sisters and nothing more, he does warm up to the thought of being with one of them (or both). So there's just an argument of you never know what would happen. But all in all, I don't mind the incest because as far as I'm concerned, there isn't any.

This series is rather dirty though. There's a lot of debauchery throughout the series and it mainly comes from the twins. I don't want to give anything away but they do kiss him a lot and play with his body parts, A LOT. It is rather ecchi in regards to what the characters do but you don't see anything other than ass, everything else you see is covered. But it is very sexual and very dirty. I'm 50/50 with the sexual nature of this series, half the time it made me cringe and the other half made me laugh.

I thought the characters were magnificent, they were well developed and fresh and none were too similar, even the twins who wanted the same thing had their own personalities that were enjoyable to watch. There's of course a lot of stereotypical characters and themes but that shouldn't make you enjoy the series any less.

The story itself is fine, it mainly revolves around Keita as he studies and tries to get into the same high school and his sisters. Along the way, his sisters help him as much as they can, in good ways and bad ways *wink, wink*. There's hardly a story at all, each episode is just about what the twinsdo to try and woo their brother.

Likes:
-I liked the characters, I thought they were entertaining and caring
-Mikuni, that poor girl goes through so much and it's just hard to watch
-The art was great, the highlights in each characters skin was what I really enjoyed. The complexion of their skin was really good and their body for the most part seemed very realistic.

Dislikes:
-Their parents are totally cool with their adolescent children potentially doing it all the time. The dad constantly reminds Keita that he isn't related by blood to his sisters and encourages him to get it on with them. The entire family is completely against Keita in his attempts to keep things platonic and everyone wants Keita to be with his sisters. It's ridiculous
-SPOILER!!!
Now I don't watch lewd anime like this to watch the characters have sex and do all their provocative stuff but when the whole series builds up to characters doing it and don't deliver is really frustrates me and lets me down. They spent the whole series making it seem like they were going to do it at some point and then they don't and that really bothered me.

This is the sequel series to the Fairy Tail, it picks up right where it leaves off. There really wasn't a need to separate this series from the first because it's all one storyline and separating them doesn't really make sense. Both of them all long anyway and you usually only see separate series when they are different seasons and between the first series and this one, there's 7 seasons plus Zero. This is really a bad thing, I just thought it was really strange.

Onto the series itself, the arcs seem to be getting a lot longer as the series progresses. There are really only ... 3 main arcs in this series (plus Zero) and 1 of them is just a continuation of the Grand Magic Games. The episodes are pretty drawn out but are filled with A LOT of action and strife. That being said I can't say I enjoyed this series better than the first but I can say I thought it was a lot better. The The beginning is great, the middle is pretty meh and the ending is absolutely fantastic.

The story and action has the same predictability factor to it. You know that Fairy Tail is going to win these fights. It's just watching how they win is what's fun. "The power of friendship trumps all" kind of fighting is applied here but not as much as it was in the first series. Towards the end of the first series, you see that the Fairy Tail wizards are actually a force to be reckon with and not just a guild that gets beaten to the brink of death and somehow, miraculously finds a way to win. That gets carried over into this series and as you watch each arc and each fight, you see that the Fairy Tail wizards are crazy powerful and can really take down any foe that comes their way.

The characters are all the same, no new characters really get introduced other than the villains but there are already a whole bunch of likable characters and that's one thing I do really love about Fairy Tail. There are A LOT of wizards in the show and all of them have their own different kind of magic that's really fun to watch.

A LOT of stuff goes down during the back half of the series so if you aren't enjoying the series as much during the first half (like me), there are some pretty damn good plot points to see in the second half. Things really get serious and no spoilers but if you're really interested in the series, you'll absolutely love it.

The animation of each spell, of each type of magic of each character is one of my favorite things about the series. The art is really beautiful and really cool to see. There are a lot of opening/ending themes that are pretty good. The music during the openings get you pumped for the episode and the endings cool you down after the epic fights. It's really entertaining to watch and a pretty good sequel series.

Likes:

-The magic of each wizard is really cool to see
-Zero, was really awesome to see
-Love seeing how powerful each member of Fairy Tail has become
-Tartaros arc, was my 2nd favorite arc behind The Grand Magic Games, things get really serious in this arc and the struggle is seriously real and incredibly exciting to watch.
-I really love watching Natsu fight, because the beginning when he isn't taking it serious, he's aloof and messes around and then when he gets serious is when the action really starts, its funny and entertaining to watch.
-Wendy, she's becomes a total badass, just watch, it's amazing.
-No spoilers but the very last episode really reminded me a lot of the first, I kind of got a sense of nostalgia and realized how far the series has come.

Dislikes:

-I really dislike the ecchiness of the series, imo, if you want to tease boob, then just show them, High School DxD showed boob all the time and I didn't care about it, it didn't take away from the action. Fairy Tail just has boobs there with a tiny strip of clothing still covering them which really bothers me because all I think of is how you should still be able to see the nipple there.
-Lucy, she's just so annoying and I can't stand her
-There are a lot of really good plot points in the series but looking back at the first series that some of them tie into, it really leaves a lot of plot holes and unanswered questions. There's always a lot going on and I understand that not everything can be answered but I still can't help thinking about it. It still doesn't ruin it for me though.
-I dislike everything to do with the celestial spirits, the spirits themselves are fine, just The Key of the Starry Sky, Grand Magic Games (kind of), and the Eclipse Celestial Spirit arcs made 3 straight arcs where the celestial spirits and their wizards were incredibly important and it seriously bothered me. Not to mention the fact that Lucy is in the center of it all.
