This is a pretty good final season for fairy tail that you'll likely enjoy if you somewhat enjoyed the previous 250+ episodes.
The story consists of a single arc that ties up the loose plotlines relatively well and unlike the previous seasons, this season has no filler. It's a pretty good story and it feels cohesive and well thought out. There's lots of cool fights but also a lot of good character development. The ending is pretty conclusive and it's nice to hear how everyone is doing one year later.
Some small criticisms is that the pacing is better than the previous seasons but still suboptimal with some flashbacks in fight scenes taking too long for my liking, taking away from a pretty exciting fight. Another point is that some of the scenes were unrealistic, even by generous fairy…

Honestly one of my favourite animes. It was a bitter sweet feeling finishing it and not going to lie I tried to drag it out as saying goodbye to these characters was rough.
I loved the final series just as much as the OG and the second series. The character development was on point and never felt forced or rushed. Also leaving some development to be made is any future projects.
The story line was very well paced and I never felt bored or wanting to skip ahead during any moments. From the heart-wrenching emotional scenes to the on edge fight sequences I was engrossed in all of it.
I don't care what anyone else says I love the "with the power of friendship" theme. It's heartwarming and never fails to make me smile while watching. Not saying fairy tail didn't have it's dark moments and…

I enjoyed the previous seasons, but not this one. I believe the major reason wasn't that they made any bad decisions with the story, but it is the fact that they didn't change anything at all.
It could also be the result of abusing the shounen loop of "get beaten up, remember your friends, stand up, and beat your way out". This is Fairy Tail in a nutshell. You will see nothing more than that.
So just before watching the final season; I sort of knew what I was going to see, but I still finished it just because I don't like to drop series and unfortunately everything went as expected.

The conclusion of the Fairy Tail series felt lackluster compared to its predecessors, Fairy Tail (2009 and 2014). The built-up to the final villain of the series was greatly portrayed as a solid villain and had some actual hype to it. However, the goal for the villain was kind of poorly written. The other big baddie had an actual reason and I could understand where the villain was coming from, but the OG villain of the show was written as "bad to be bad." However, this was not my only complaint. Some of the animation scenes were reused (a lot) and some scenes were stretched out to make the episode hit that time mark, or it felt that way.
To be clear, this review is made by an all-time fan of Fairy Tail. It is my favorite anime, despite it having this ending and having some bad moments, b…

This anime taught me not to be an idiot who watches anime to the end for a "challenge" or "achievement" sake, even if said anime is bad.
Nonsensical "story" paired with awful unchanging characters, repetitive and drawn out fights with cheaply animated abilities (art in general very simplistic) made watching this as very unpleasant proccess.
Nobody dies, nobody does training, there no comprehensive system for abilities, there no sense of mystery or adventure. No proper world building either. No friendship or romance.
Whole anime is a sequence of stretched out and repetitive battles with unimaginative abilities connected to each other with overabundance of "fan service" and boring humour. I could go on and on about how bad this anime is, but in other reviews on MAL this written in more el…

Fairy Tail is a classic anime series that no fan of the genre should miss. With its beloved characters and exciting fights, it consistently provides a captivating view into a world of wizards and mages.
The story follows a group of wizards known as Fairy Tail who are part of a guild of similar people. Through their adventures and escapades, we follow the magical journey of Lucy Heartfilia and her magical partners as they get caught in the mix of a variety of misadventures. Along the way, they meet a variety of characters and make thrilling alliances with some enemies, making for a riveting come together of powerful forces.
The animation and art style are as colourful and vibrant as its cast of characters, making the entire series a visual treat to follow. The voice acting and sound desig…

Fairy tail was one of my top 5 anime until the final season rolled up. The reason for this is they setup the anime very very well. At every stage before the final season they built hype well and carried it well through each arc. But in the final season they threw out all the seriousness out the window. Zeref was feared, he was a man around whom animals couldn't even live if they come into his vicinity. But they didn't utilise the fear of Zeref well in the anime. And the same can be said for Acnologia. The man who killed Igneel just got defeated by the cringe power of friendship. The end was very rushed and for this reason the final season was horrible to watch. But besides these 2 characters, the rest of the season was pretty good but we all know that if the final antagonist is boring as h…

Woo, it's finally over!
Alright guys I have to admit something to you. I don't actually hate Fairy Tail. It's just such a mainstream, by-the-numbers series and it's really easy to clown on it for being so predictable. But honestly, it's kind of charming in that way. You already know exactly how every arc is going to end from the outset. They could be fighting the abstract concept of time itself or a villain with literally infinite magic and still win because Natsu got really fired up this time. Like his punches weren't doing anything before but then he got really fired up, and punched even harder and that did the trick.
That's how every arc ends, and they even did it twice in this one. The very last fight was as "the power of friendship" as you can get. They had a "everyone give me your…

Plot:
It is pretty convoluted and murky, to begin with, but I like how Hiro Mashima used a lot of different narrative styles and techniques in the story. The main perspective is from Lucy's eyes which is pretty rare in shounen. She tells the story of the Fairy Tail guild. I like how Natsu was never the main character and unlike Luffy and Naruto, he didn't have this one huge goal he needed to accomplish by the end of the story. He is also not used as the "chosen one" for the entire plot.
First, Fairy Tail had two main villains: Acnologia, the dragon king; and Zeref, the black wizard magician. Unlike with most fictional stories where there is more than one villain where they eventually teamed up to defeat the main characters, here Acnologia and Zeref are different entities that served diffe…

I just finished watching the last season of fairy and the truth is that they didn't even give me a kiss from Natsu with Lucy. I feel cheated. The last fight could have been made more epic but hey. Analyzing the anime, the truth is always handled with the same plot, a stronger and stronger enemy appears; then natsu beats him, after beating him they become friends because yes, period. The truth is, I don't know what it has that hooks you with its simple plot, the truth is, and well, I think the development of couples is fine, but that last touch is missing. I recommend it if you want to see a shonen that will always give you the same thing, that is to say that the protagonist always wins but always.

The premise of the Fairy Tail series is simple: A run of the mill magic in a medieval world setting. Fairy tail introduces nothing new. The stories and characters are so boring. Every time they stumble across an idea to make the anime even remotely interesting they drop the ball. Full of cliches and unnecessary fan service that it makes me question who their target audience even is?? HONESTLY, WHO IS THEIR TARGET AUDIENCE, there are thousand of boring cliches, they have the predictable theme of friendship is power which makes it seem as though their target audience is children between the age of 5 to 10 years old but then with all the unnecessary fan service I don't even know anymore! One of the major problems with the Fairy Tail series is the ridiculously poor power scaling which leads to…

It's been almost a year since I've seen Fairy Tail, but I just saw it and it made me angry so.
I've seen hot steamy piles of garbage festering on a pile of road-kill more appealing than this show. Fairy Tail was one of my first anime back when I was like 12 or something and the first season was okay back then. Anyway, normally when your final season comes up, you want to make it big. You want to make it awesome and blow the living socks off of everybody. The Fairy Tail staff decided: "Eh... No one's going to pay attention anyway." And thus this lazy piece of junk was made.
In short, if you watched the first couple of episodes of the first Fairy Tail and then watched the final episode of this show. Nothing changed. Absolutely nothing. No character relationships were further developed. No…

1) Introduction
Ah! Fairy Tail, how to start? This show and Sword Art Online are the two more controversial animes to this day (on my point of view at least), when I say this I mean that they are the two animes with the most numbers of fans and haters. Like, I don't know if Fairy Tail has more fans or haters and I think is very difficult to be on the middle, you hate it or you love it. So, in which side am I? By the score that I gave to it you might think that I like it and that's 100% true. I like it. Maybe is because it was the first "real" anime that I saw (Pokemon doesn't count). So now I am going to tell you why I like it.
2) Characters
I want to proper start this review judging the characters because I think it's one of the most controversial topics. The haters say that th…

Never thought I'd ever say this, but I'm gonna miss Fairy Tail, SO MUCH. I got SO attached to the show with time. It took me a little less than 6 months to finish it. I had no reason to watch fairy tail but I still did. I did not even like it at first. But I kept watching. It's a bad habit. I never drop an anime once I start watching.
The character design was SO good tho. Mashima sensei designed so many characters with distinct personalities. The supporting characters got so much screen time. Other than these 2 reasons, it's brilliant ost is another reason Fairy Tail was such a good watch for me. Fairy Tail's ost has become one of my personal fave of all time.
The 'power of friendship and love' thing was overused but it's a 2000s shounen so it's acceptable. I also didn't understand why…

Have you ever heard that if you judge a fish by its ability to climb on a tree you'd think it's stupid?
Many complain about Fairy Tail to the point where its own fans are apologetic for liking it... And I disagree with that. I genuinely thank this author for writing one of my favorite series.
Fairy Tail's fights don't really have much technical logic in them. I'd usually tell you that's boring because then you're not really scared, or resonating with the characters through them. The outcome is known, or easily manipulated. But are they boring? No. Not to me. Because every fight in Fairy Tail tells a story. About the characters. About their past. About their present. And sometimes, about their future. About their weaknesses and about what lead them to be who they are. I personally really…

review for all 3 seasons
I just finished fairy tail and wanted to share some points concerning the anime.
I've always had battle shounen as my favorite genre, and always try to give new ones a try, however, I kept pushing fairy tail back for a long time, mostly because of the horrible reviews it got. To be honest, I felt like a big portion of the reviews it got were exaggerated. The anime is really enjoyable and the characters are lovable, with some really good twists along with the plot. Yes it had a heavy plot armor and a few cringe moments, but I mean that's nothing new for shonen types and it doesn't get too much in the way of enjoyment. Fanservice is definitely heavier than usual, but again I think it's something that can be easily overlooked, and even enjoyable in a few cases.

For a final series of an anime, the Fairy Tail Final Series doesn't seem like it is its conclusion.
Stating the obvious, the Alvarez Arc is the toughest of all the sets of opponents that the Fairy Tail guild has ever encountered. It's massive, overwhelming, and most invincible. It seemed like the author was like, "Alright, since it's the final series, let's give it all, make everyone overpowered." They maximized the power potential of each characters but the storyline, it's still mediocre as ever. The cyclical pattern is still evident. It still runs where the antagonists appear with tremendous and destructible power, and the fairies will fight back but then the foes will storytell their back stories first, so as the soon they will be defeated, the audience will be drawn attached to the ch…

This is a short review for those who don't want to know about details.
The final of an anime is a art, many animes have great ends and there are some that make you cry, Fairy Tail is one of them. I finished the anime today and i decided to listen to the slow theme of the anime and now i am almost crying, like, i can't even say a good sentence, only: This is brutal.
This season is brutal, i cried, laughed hard, the animation is cool as hell and the sound is just perfect. The story is very good too, there are some of the coolest battles and some epic plot-twists.
Thanks for reading.

I don't write reviews, nor do I plan to start.
However I'm just here to say that this is by far one of the worst and laziest seasons of a show that I've ever seen. Anyone who legitimately thinks this show is good should automatically be assumed to have terrible taste (which would be the correct assumption); You should never listen to another anime opinion from them again. Even for **Fairy Tail** (which hasn't even been good since around episode 60), this is bad.
The "animation" (if it can even be considered that) is literally just still shot after still shot along with incredibly rough art. In terms of the writing: this arc took two characters that have been built up for almost the entire show and completely throws all the potential they had right out the window. Every character is retar…
