well i guess fairy tail isnt really one of the best animes and sure it has it flawes. like those constant friendship speeches, everytime somebody saves the day when the other will lose. and a fucking shitload of unnessecary fanservice. but for me its a guilty pleasure. i started to watch fairy tail from the very first episode. back when it still hadnt that creppy fucked up fanbase full with aggresive weirdos..kina like bronys. but still . i like the story lines. the characters. happy isnt so bad hes funny ^^. and the battles are also pretty decent. the soundtracks are also very cool!!
so if you gonna give it a try. i recommend you to start from EP1. if you try to watch it from current episodes you wont like the show, trust me.
