This is my first review, and i hope it actually sounds like a review..
so far i've only watched 11 eps, that might not be enough to write a review about it since it's still airing... but i just wanted to point out some things about fairy tail. i have watched some eps of the first series, but i dropped it, and this time i decided to give the new fairy tail a try since i know many that have recommended it saying that its amazing ...etc. and so i did, but that didn't last for too long since i dropped it after watching the ... 11th eps. of course, what i'm about to mention is just my opinion, some will agree, some will disagree... well here it goes:

i think that the new fairy tail art did quiet improve compared to the first series (slightly). the opening songs are catchy and they kinda suit the series. however, there are various reasons that made me drop this anime.

first : they barely focus on the main plot, its all about comedy (which in my opinion isn't funny at all, it's all cliche..). when i watched the first ep of the new series, i thought they might actually focus on the plot.. but as i watched more eps, it felt as if the plot isn't actually there. fairy tail lacks seriousness. not necessarily a lot. but just some to make use of the plot. i'm personally not a fan of comedy, but i wanted to give fairy tail a try since its a fantasy themed anime, with guilds, magic and dragons... but i just couldn't stand it anymore because the characters don't take anything seriously, I'm not gonna give examples since it might be considered as a spoiler ( i think). but i'm sure you can relate to what i'm saying (maybe ) .

second: theres no character development at all. also, the characters always rely on Natsu making him sound like a very strong person. when hes actually nothing special. he's just a showoff brat that launches fireballs. i honestly dont see what makes Natsu so special and why the rest of the characters say that he's powerful and rely on him. and its not just natsu, i find lucy quiet useless too. shes basically dead weight that literally does nothing. she gets in trouble and natsu saves her. pure cliche. sometimes i even wonder why shes in the series. her only purpose is fanservice which i hate. theres fanservice in every scene... which i find disgusting, i like concentrating on the plot more. but instead of the plot, fairy tail chooses to concentrate on fanservice and comedy. which is why i couldnt stand it anymore. also, aside from lucy and natsu, erza. to be honest, i expected a lot from her when she first showed up (in the first series), cuz everyone referred to her as "scary" and "powerful" but she's nothing special either. shes not scary , neither is she powerful either. like lucy, her purpose is also fanservice, although unlike lucy, i find erza better compared to lucy that literally does nothing. but i still hate both though. i find gray and gajeel quiet interesting, but they barely show gajeel (or focus on him either), compared to natsu i think gray and gajeel are better and deserve more focus. but it seems the anime only wants to focus more on natsu, its all about natsu, natsu, natsu , nastu... ugh.

third: the action scenes. honestly... theyre rly bad... action is one of my favourite genres in anime. and since fairy tail is highly rated, i thought maybe it's action scenes would be awesome and cool. but no... they barely show what actually happens in those scenes. its like... a battle starts...they switch scenes, showing us what the other characters are doing (which is all just talk). then they go back to that scene, the fairy tail character is almost losing and the enemy is like " haha u cant beat me!!!" then the character is like " ur underestimating fairy tail! i wont lose since i have friends on my side!!" the they switch scenes again. then back again to that scene and the fairy tail character wins. and the enemy is like " nooo ! i lost! how did u????" and that character starts with all his big talk... i dont know if what i just said makes sense, but what im trying to say is that the actions scenes dont actually show, and its all cliche, the main character is about to lose then somehow gains power to defeat the enemy. sure friendship is important. but fairy tail exaggerates A LOT when it comes to it... and its overused... which makes it predictable....

fourth: the backstories are quiet lame too ( in my opinion), they're really not that special... they're not emotional either... they're just like some average backstories with not much depth in them. (but thats just my opinion)

there are some more minor things about this anime... but the point is... it's too predictable... and i think is so overrated. but let me just say this again.. this is all my opinion. i dont expect everyone to agree with me. i know a lot will disagree.. but it's just my opinion. and i think that if, like me, you are more into anime that is serious and goes pretty deep ( the plot) then you most likely will not like this anime. but if youre new to anime, or if u just want to watch some hyper anime( just for fun) with fan service, or if u dont like anime with a deep plot... then yeah.. you'll probably like this anime... or you can probably give it a go and see.

i dont know if what i said actually looks like a review.. but... yeah... it is my first time... and it is just my opinion.... and im not saying that fairy tail is a terrible anime ( okay maybe i think it is) but still, i know that there are many people that enjoy it....
