Let's start with a general description to give you some idea of what the heck Fairy Tail is.
So basically, Fairy Tail is the name of the magic guild consisting of various wizards who use their powers to earn money by completing "job requests".
Who are the main characters?
Natsu Dragneel
Lucy Heartfilia
Happy
Erza Scarlett
Last, but not least, Gray Fullbuster
So wasn't this post about reasons to watch the show? Yes, it was. Unless you are already hooked on the main characters, keep reading.
These are not listed in any particular order.
1. Friendships
2. Story Arcs
Fairy Tail has soo many arcs I completely lost count. I would say that these guys are freaking invinvcible since most of the time their enemies seemed to be much stronger than them. Plus, it seems that they have about 3-4 huge things coming up a year, so that's a lot. And they are still teenagers!
3. Flashbacks
3. The S-Class Wizards
I mean sure, every FT member is unique in their own way, but those S-Class Wizards? Something Else. Each year wizards compete for the right to become the elite of elites and prove their power. And it's kinda impressive that some of them achieved it at a pretty young age (Erza, I am looking at you!)
4. Character Development
What GOT writers didn't realize is that anime writers develop their character in a way that does make sense. Many of the current FT allies were once their worst enemies, but thanks to the power of feelings, most of them got their arcs of redemption. Some took the "I am going to redeem myself" way too far where they don't allow themselves to be happy.
5. Jerza
6. Feminism
Yes, this one is up-to-debate. FT tends to sexualize women every time they get, but I do enjoy the way they portray some of the female characters. Erza once took 100 monsters upon herself and only said "Sorry, it took longer than I expected" after she did it. I also want to mention Ultear, Irene, Mira, Cana, Mavis and every single woman on this show.
