Dragon cry is a pretty good fairy tail movie. Its story references the main fairy tail storyline and adds a bit to some of the characters.
The story itself is quite good and enjoyable to watch. It is a bit over the top at times and it's good that it's not part of the actual anime because some magic is arguably too powerful and could ruin the story. Unsurprisingly for fairy tail, this movie is heavy on the fanservice though it's incorporated pretty well into the story. The watch order guide on reddit mentions explicitly that this movie takes place after 14:18 of episode 288 of the main series so that's probably the best time to watch it.
The characters are just the normal fairy tail squad but with different villains. The villains are okay and sometimes quite interesting.
The animation…

This is the second film of Fairy Tail the movie in the theater. Normally, Fairy Tail is about the story of wizard group adventure and friendship. In this film, there are action scenes when characters adventure to find the "Dragon Cry" that was stolen from their kingdom, and the relationship between characters along the trip is so funny. This film also did a good job as same as Fairy Tail the series.
If you are Fairy Tail's fan, you'll know that Natsu is the main character. He is one of Fairy Tail's wizards who use fire elemental magic. His personality is funny, brave, and very careful of his friends. In this film, you'll see his character development from the series. He calmed down a bit and try to find a way to find his friend. And about my favorite character, Lucy, she is one of Natsu's…

After finishing this I thought to myself: Why did I just watch this? Then I thought further: Why am I watching Fairy Tail at all?
Okay, okay, Fairy Tail isn't that bad, put down your pitchforks. Fairy Tail is just an easy punching bag for being just a generic shounen fantasy that just keeps repeating the same story beats with different characters over and over again. So why watch an anime movie, which you know is just going to be filler, for a show that already feels like filler in the cannon material? I don't know the fight scenes are cool I guess?
I watched this coming straight off the end of 2014 Fairy Tail, which ended with the Zero Arc. I also watched some OVA's in that break, so basically this was the big return for a lot of these characters for me, as I hadn't seen them on screen…

It is my first review I hope and you like it
I will first say that I will review it from 2 points of view the objective and subjective I will start with the objective:
objectively the movie is mediocre and seen many worse yes. First I liked the beginning to see natsu falling and then they will explain how I got there although in my opinion they did it very badly then 20 or 30 minutes of pure fanservice that I do not complain I love it in fairy tail fanservice but 80% dislike them later They show us gajeel levy and juvia who are going on a mission and I was happy after months of finishing fairy tail that in the movie my fav characters came out I was excited but it was very poorly managed: first they don't say what the mission is about, just suddenly They arrive at the kingdom then we do not…

::Spoilers::
The plot really doesn't make much sense at all and it's way too fast-paced. The movie actually has a lot of interesting ideas, but it fails to actually do anything with them.
It's honestly a bummer, the movie has a lot of good scenes and it's overall just really enjoyable to watch; however, the good scenes don't get enough time to really shine. For example, there's a scene where Lucy is kidnapped by the main villain and is about to be tortured for his magic before being immediately saved by Natsu, who rushed over as fast as he possibly could because he blames himself for her capture. On paper, this actually sounds really interesting. Natsu was forced to hurt one of his closest friends due to mind control magic via the villain and it's because of this that she was captured. H…

Same beat as the first...but a slightly louder beat.
Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry's movie takes place between somewhere between the Avatar and the Spriggan 12 arc and this movie might as well be a stand alone movie much like Priestess of the Phoenix movie due to it having an isolated story involving the Fairy Tail crew.
So on speaking of Priestess of the Phoenix, Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry has a similar setting and setup, with a female movie-only character central to the plot (Sonia) whereas they try to find an artifact (Dragon Cry staff) that may revive or fix something in their country for the greater good, but is stopped by Natsu and the crew as they aren't helping at all at the expense of all the sacrifice happening. But where Priestess of the Phoenix takes this to a T with no great twists ab…

It really, really, REALLY pains me to say this as a major FT fan but this movie over all...... kind of sucked. I mean I gave it a 7 for overall because it definitely has redeeming qualities such as the red happy and him fighting a doggo was kind of funny.
The story felt kind of dragged like most of the plot points being repeated over and over again. Cinema sins would have skyrocket numbers for "Roll credits" they say the freaking title needlessly so many times. The main group losing a fight then somehow able to beat them because "fuck you that's how". They didn't even try to hint at some kind of "Overcoming an obstacle" plan. It was just "we lost once ok now we will win because who cares?" the King Animus
being the same person as Sonya was an interesting idea that Failed to live up to it'…

well well well. spent the whole summer going through the first 2 seasons of fairy tail to end it here. at fairy tail movie 2. one disclaimer before i go in. i have only watched the anime, havent read any of the source material. since i havent read it i have no idea if it will affect what ive seen, so... yea dont b mad at me if i miss something that makes sense from the source. for the most part spoiler free.
ALSO. IF YOURE READING THIS ABOUT TO WATCH IT AND YOU CANT TAKE SPOILERS, JUST DONT WATCH IT. IT (i think) CONTAINS SPOILERS ABOUT SEASON 3.
STORY: 8
The story, as a standalone story, is not that bad. obviously with an anime as well-recieved as fairy tail, you want to have some sort of connecting factors between season 2 and this movie, but as a standalone, it brings all the fairy…

Short Review - Spoiler Free
Overall this was a pretty decent movie. Certainly much better than the last Fairy Tail movie. Animation was fantastic, better than the actual series. The story itself was all right and would've been better if there was more time to work with. The fights and the story itself felt pretty rushed. There was too much in too little of amount of time. A concern I have as well is the amount of sexual fanservice in this movie. It takes away from it and has too much focus. I'm shocked to see that "ecchi" is not a genre for this movie.
Overall I gave it an 8/10, but I think roughly a 7.5 is a bit more accurate. The average rating for this movie is a pretty good and true. Which is a bit surprising since Fairy Tail gets more hate than it deserves.

It's no secret that I don't think Fairy Tail is good. But the fact of the matter is, is that I hold a nostalgic connection to this franchise that shields it from me for everything it deserves. The franchise may be bad, but I have made my peace with it, and can enjoy it for the pointless fluff that it is...
That being said. This movie...
What I was expecting:
A fun yet pointless adventure in the land of Fairy Tail that wouldn't be anything marvelous, but a fun and distracting romp.
What I got:
A poor looking mess of a story with a beginning that was much like I was expecting, fun and consistent with what Fairy Tail is, and a second half that was one of the worst things I have ever had the displeasure of watching...
There were so many confusing aspects that left me scratching my head sp…

I love Fairy Tail, but this movie was freaking appalling. The second cinematic movie spin-off of Fairy Tail involves our regular protagonists fighting off members of a newly introduced kingdom who steal a magic staff from Fiore in order to use it to stop their city from exploding due to convoluted reasons... and unleash a giant dragon from the body of their evil king.
First the animation. Normally when series have movie spin-offs the animation looks better than in the shows due to the higher budget. Not this movie, in which the only difference in visuals is that all the girls have boobs that are twice the size that they are in the show. There are moments when Lucy and Juvia are running that their boobs jiggling in front of them is practically all you can see in the frame, and it really do…

So this is my first review... I might mess up but screw it I'm gonna give it a try.
Fairy tail movie 2: Dragon cry.... This movie is mediocre at best. I seen worse movies than this but this is probably the worse anime movie I seen awhile.
Let me say this: I'm not fully caught up with Fairy tail. I haven't reached the time skip yet so I'm still far behind but... I know enough fairy tail to have an idea about the characters and lore. This movie did nothing to impress me or surprise me. Let me break down why I didnt like this movie.
1. STORY
The story is basically a retrieval mission gone wrong. Nothing more than that. It has no real build up and a laughable climax. The end of the story will leave with more questions than answers. No tension, no good drama... I'm seriously trying to find…

Well, short version, it's nothing like the series and i suggest noone wastes their time on this.
The story and scenes felt rushed and the supposidly emotional scenes where too slow. Overall the entire thing felt nothing like the series. The drawings where off too, Natsu's mouth is all wrong, Lucy (and Erza) have way too fat legs and big boobs all the sudden and in some scenes the eyes and mouth where very unnatural, doll'ish and sometimes even creepy. Especially the all-good-end-good scene where 2 of em look at eachother, yaikes.
I really hope this piece of garbage is nothing like the upcoming season, might just skip it all together if it has any resemblance.
I don't really know what else to say, other then the big Natsu change near the end. Where the heck did that come from? No backsto…

Preface: Most reviews break down into categories to assign a numerical rank too (sound, story, art, etc), so to change it up my reviews will be focused on what works, doesn't work, and what kind of viewer I think would enjoy this series.
Introduction
I won't pretend to hide my fandom for shonen animes, I simply adore the heroes and the common tropes in the genre, from powering up, emotional driven storytelling, and the constant escalating battles and enemies, to the point it's no longer relatable. Fairytail Dragon Cry has all of these, much of the core stuff that made the original series great, but yet falls short. Due to pacing issues, the fact scenes just feel removed at times, and how it follows the formula to the point without reason the whole movie is just.....underwhelming.…

The following review contains spoilers for Fairy Tail (2009), Fairy Tail (2014), Fairy Tail: The Phoenix Priestess, and Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry.
Fairy Tail Dragon Cry or pandering to Natsu fans, the movie is a perfect example of everything Fairy Tail fans are sick of. I was even more hyped for this than I was for Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale, which delivered everything a SAO fan could have asked for. Fairy Tail is my favorite anime of all time and has been for over four years now. After waiting a year for the English dub to come out, Dragon Cry is the single most disappointing release in all my years as an anime fan.
Respect for the Main Character
The story starts out with Natsu and of course is all about Natsu and some irrelevant, movie exclusive characters named Sonya and Zash. Des…

Fairy Tail Dragon Cry is absolute trashy film ever i watched & sequel to Phoenix Nonsense..... Literally being an Shonen Fan, my friend recommended FT to me since 2009. Fairy Tail isn't especially good but definitely relies on it's fan service to keep afloat of the other competitors in it's genre every now & always against esp. One Piece & get big blow from High School DXD.
Hiro Mashima is second to Tite Kubo in terms of Worst Writer Ever. He always uses art designs & Ideas of One Piece for his FT Plot lines .....NAKAMA POWER......Sorry to All as it is Canon Film & disgrace to Shonen Films like DBZ Films, Naruto & OP Films..........2017 Pokemon I Choose You was 1000X Better than this trash
Movie (100%) divided into 10% Stupid Fights, 5% Nakama Values, 15% Stupidity Plot & 70% Fanservice…

Ok first of all, all of the enemies were weak, natsu, gray, erza and wendy could've easily beaten them all solo! also DEMON SLAYER MAGIC IS SUPPOSE TI BE OP! WHEN GREY'S DAD USED IT, NATSU COULDNT EVEN MELT IT!!!
ALSO ERZA COULDVE DESTROYED ALL OF THEM WITH HER PHYSICAL ABILITIES WITHOUT USING MAGIC. IT GETS ME SO FRUSTRATED WHEN ALL THE FAIRY TAIL MEMBERS GET BEAT UP EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AGAINST THE WEAKEST OPPONENTS!!! ARGHH IM DONE
second is that natsu couldnt even break a steel chain. just because he was out of power... HOW PATHETIC! why is everyone weak again seriously. in the magic games when natsu comes back to lucy, he melts everything around the arena. I understand lucy is weak but HOW CAN THE ENEMY BE SO STRONG I MEAN, THEY ARE AS STRONG AS DRAGON SLAYERS AND DEMON SLAYERS!

This is my first review..I hope it can be helpful for all.
Hiro is one of the best manga artists I had ever seen.Fairy Tail has been one of the best and favorite anime that I had ever watched. Finally after all this time Dragon Cry has English subbed. Am excited to talk and review this movie.
Story: 8/10
The story is also about dragons but set in another new city. Just like the first movie, the movie also features a young female character ( I think her name was Sonya). She also joins team Natsu to fight the dragon ( Don't want to talk more to not spoil the enjoyment). Although the story was quite good, I found it abit boring in half of the movie.
Art: 7/10
What got me disappointed is the new art of Fairy Tail. Fairy tail has wonderful and realistic colors through out the show and through…

This movie was just a mess. I love FT series, watched every episode and loved everything about it. But from a certain point I noticed the characters became over-sexualized (like everyone getting bigger breasts suddenly, close up camera shots at specific female parts etc.) This especially became horrible in this movie, literally a fanservice fap fest. Almost every scene had a character wearing bunnysuit/striptease outfit or almost nothing at all etc. while performing a dance or just crawling on all four with camera zoomed in right up their....
It's about 80 minutes and first 60 minutes is literally about nothing. The story premise is not bad actually, it seemed interesting, but watching a movie with no decent scenes, no interesting parts or anything, just fanservice everywhere, ruined any…

Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry employs the usual formula that made this anime popular. It has its cool, emotional, funny, sweet and thrilling moments. And of course, who can ever forget the "power of friendship"? These are, after all, what made me a Fairy Tail fan. But somewhere, somehow, something went wrong.
So, what went wrong? They added more into the formula that damaged the overall quality of the story. One thing I particularly hate is that they added a transformation sequence. It's just so weird and awkward, it honestly made me think, "I'm watching Fairy Tail and not Sailor Moon, right?". Those scenes seriously made me cringe. Like, when the heck did this anime added magical girl into its list of genres? Unless it's supposed to be a gag or a parody, then my argument will be pointless. But…
