>Erza is finally dying >Imaginary Natsu pops into her head "Don't die Erza you have friends lmao" "Oh ok" >Erza feels better now.

I find it funny that there's all this pretentious bs about friendship in FT, but it almost always comes down to a Natsu solo.

Fairy Tale seems like the kind of shonen people would enjoy if they casually watch it and don't take it seriously, but when they really think about it they're like "oh...."

Holy hell that luffy analysis was so great i actually have never heard such a good reasoning as to why luffy works as a protagonist gained yourself a sub my dude

This better be longer than Digibro's 12 part Ass War review.

FT has the biggest plot aror in shonen universe where not even natsu, but lucy was able to win against "supposedly super strong opponent according to narration" while other guild got crushed

"Oh wait...no...this is Fairy Tail" basically summarizes my entire watching experience.

Back in the day (like 10 years ago) FT was so much fun to watch. But everytime I see it now, I think in all that potencial that was lost. FT is the story of a /generic shonen guy/ who is looking for his father (who is a dragon), but actually doesn't because has no clues and doen't even try to find him. They keep winning fights thanks to the power of friendship and when they dont, they get saved by the power of friendship. Every conflict is world changing (which is ok if done correctly) and actions have no consecuences for the main cast. Still, the show has a place in my heart. A lot of the themes that are poorly executed in the anime/manga ahve inspired me to write stories (that are hopefully better). Great video, I really needed to share these feelings somewhere

I remember I liked Fairy Tail for, like, a month or something.

FairyTail falls in the category of action shows I wanted so bad to enjoy but the characters and story completely ruin any possibility of it. Every fight and plot point ends up disappointing me so way or another.

Fairy tail has cool characters and concepts but shit plot that goes nowhere

I could listen to you talking about Luffy and One Piece all day honestly

Problem: too much *_FRIENDSHIP_* fanservice and insignificant (meaningless) character development that gets retconned seconds after its arrival. Solution: Fairy Tail not being Fairy Tail.

One problem that I have with FT wasn’t how despite being the main protagonist, Natsu’s struggle is hard to relate to due to the way it was handled. Natsu's foster father disappearing is sad and all, but it takes up entirely too much time and too many words without stuff actually happening. Natsu's dragon disappeared when he was 10, there haven't been any signs of dragons since, and he's 17 when the story starts. If this story were at all believable, Natsu would be a broken boy, but he would've moved on by then, not flying into a rage when Cobra rightly says that dragons are extinct. Kids have had parents die and move on faster than that. No, I don't know why a dragon would give a kid a scarf when they both know fire magic, nor why it's Natsu's most prized possession. No, I don't get why Natsu relates finding Igneel with getting stronger as per Mirajane's word. HunterXHunter was similar to this but was executed way better because Gon actively searched for his father and it was the driving force of the story. Being stronger won't make that dragon un-disappear. Really, Natsu's struggle is the weakest of all the characters aside from Juvia's.

tl;dr: Mashima has good ideas, but shit execution

I still don't know how we went from Rave Master to Fairy Tail. Initially I loved fairy tail, but it got worse and worse as time went on and became more and more repetitive that I couldn't keep watching it.

I never really considered it before but looking back on it Luffy is a very clever fighter like you said, unlike Natsu.

I think I understood more why I love Luffy from this video.

I freaking love this show, but I know it's garbage. I agree with most of your points. But whenever I watch this show, I leave with a smile on my face. I don't know why. But I hate the fact that I love this show.

Probably the best analysis of Luffy's character that I've ever seen.

As a huge One Piece fan, I just find it godamn annoying how Fairy Tail tries to be like One Piece and fails.

I haven't seen Fairy Tail, but to me it sounds like the author wrongfully thought that, since magic defies science and ergo is nonsensical, it can be used as a device to make literally whatever you want happen, no matter how little meaning or logic it has. Granted, there are good manga that take advantage of the fact that not everything supernatural has to be explained to make a good story (Berserk is a fantastic example), but even if the actual supernatural thing is nonsensical, it's all for naught if they overall themes of the story are made nonsensical.

Son Goku the progenitor.....that has a nice ring to it. As a DragonBall fan this pleases me.

I remember when I was into fairy tail. The best way to enjoy fairy tail is by forgetting logic exists. It's a turn your brain off kinda series. We are in it for the adventure.

I personally like fairy tail. I think it could be better if someone actually died. But you can thank the Japanese community for disliking the idea of killing a fairy tail member off.

I have watched this 6 times. Listening to your rant about fairy tail makes me relax. I was once a fairy tail fan. But I stopped when it did not make any sense by having internal logical consistencies, and not meaningful arc with no plot progress whatsoever. I am also a die hard one piece fan, I can feel the difference between the two. And you bring it out beautifully. Thank you

My man my man. I respect the fuck out of small abridgers doing big projects. Because fuck waiting until popularity .maybe. comes before doing awesome shit that you WANT to make. .. i can relate, is what i'm saying.

Ahh yes fairy tail, dollar store one piece.

I literally forgot Natsu's original goal was to find Igneel at all because it was barely touched upon 😂

Mashima is one of those authors who traps his audience by making the first few chapters of a story good but then derails the shit out of the story after the fandom has been set.

the bestguyever brought me here.

FT is frustrating cause it has so much going for it Erza was ALMOST a character and her arc was one of the better ones, Lucy could have been a good protagonist but natsu replaced her after the second episode I want to love this show but I can't

My favourite line just has to be 1:08 "just as intelligence comes in many forms, so does the lack thereof." Something about it makes me laugh every time...

Quick correction on the part about Edolas. The reason Natsu came up with that plan was because Nadi (that Exceed whose arm seems to have gotten stuck in a "jacking off" motion) told him about it. Otherwise, this is a great video. It's so weird that the story would teach Natsu a lesson, have him consciously disregard it, and avoid repercussions. Luffy seeing Ace die was more impactful than Natsu seeing Igneel die because Luffy, since Saboady, had been repeatedly kicked around by people way out of his league, and all that damage finally makes him give out at the worst possible moment. Natsu feels impotent for being unable to help Igneel against Acnologia, but then we learn that Igneel had his soul ripped out and would have died anyway, which was completely beyond Natsu's control.

Ace dying made me cry in the manga and anime

Finally! I glad someone is saying something. I hate all this "it's just fun and pure" praise FT gets that finds itself as an excuse for the wrong issue(s). Ever since SuperEyepatch made his bleach video and almost every other shounen under the sun, I've been waiting for a video on FT but maybe it wasn't good/bad enough to talk about for him; I think I heard him mention he liked it but who knows how long since he's watched or re-watched it. When I was still getting into shows like One Piece and Naruto in highschool Fairy Tail came along and seemed like a fun addition to replace the hole Bleach left. And then I just started to notice things, like that thing that changes inside you when your tastes start to get more complex and nuanced. Now with the end of it's 10+ year manga run (with it's most egregious moments to date) I find myself baffled by how the rest of it's audience never caught on with me, while shows like One Piece, JoJo, HxH continue to be quality and *seem (?)* to all be liked by the same people. In a way I feel like FT was written in a world where Mashima never knew all the shounen that preceded his work ever existed. That's the impression the show gives.

The most irritating part at all: Fairy tail fans saying natsu is more stronger than goku or anybody else (makes me ultra instinct everytime)

if only was good hentai at least...

Yes finally a analysis of how fairy tail is shit

Boys I kno I'm gonna get a lot of hate....but just listen Anime is a form of entertainment, not a fucking physics lecture. We know that most/none of the concepts, arguements, logic and charecters doesn't make a shit of sense if used in real life. Some may be more grounded like Death Note, Code Geass and literally all slice of life. But in the end it boils down to DID U ENJOY IT?...and FT's aim is just that. So let me question you did u enjoy EroManga Sensei( which is more grounded) than say One Piece(which is more fictional)??...I guess or atleast hope the answer is HELL NO!!!....So why are everybody shitting on a series which at the end of the day gives you a smile in your face by destroying it with WHAT IFs and WHY dids...can't we just take a gift and say thank you rather than saying why another gift would have been better. It's not a competition guys. FT always gives you positivity that's the entirity of it's goal from the start so why so much hate. Just enjoy it is meant to enjoy after all we watch Anime because we enjoy it.

This is gonna be fun

More like "Bleatch Piece Z"

One piece is the superior SHonen, simple as that. Nothing can top it. Hero academia? will see, time will tell.

Okay, I’ll say it. If Hiro mashima actually used other characters and gave them good characterization I would love them. Two examples of this are. Jellal and Juvia 1 Jellal could have had a very good redemption arc along with the oracion sies and become a good character instead of a favorited background character. Juvia: same thing, sooo much wasted potential with this one. Juvia’s backstory explains why she is pretty clingy to Gray since he was one of the first people to show her kindness. But bruh if her character arc was her gaining new friends in fairy tail and eventually leading to her becoming less attached to Gray and more independent I would like her character way more. A fan fiction user could write these two better.

Please stop saying Kuma and Hoteye look alike. Aside from holding a bible, the two look literally nothing alike. It seems really stupid to make note of the fact that people make dumb copycat accusations while also making a dumb copycat accusation.

When I was watching fairy tale and Gildarts came up, I was like what the hell is shanks doing here?

Oh boy, here we fucking go, Fairy Tail. Why Fairy Tail? I'm not going to beat around the bush here: it's personal, as you will come to find out. Because though it's like a petty piece of petulant pith in between my teeth, I just can't seem to let some things go. Because once upon a time, Fairy Tail broke me, my butt has been bothered ever since. Even at the time I did enjoy it, and there was such a time, one thing that burned my belly was the ludicrous label of 'Bleach Piece', tossed around at the inception thanks to a few vaguely similar character designs and some surface similarities. But while Mashima has no doubt been influenced by the massive success that is One Piece, the complexities and nuances make all the difference, even in the most straightforward ways.

0:42 So when a character has black/orange hair he is based of Ace/Ichigo ?The only character i find looking simmilar to another character is Gildarts looking like Shanks

Anyone who thinks Fairy tail is better than One piece, compare Natsu's fight against Zancrow to Luffy vs Katakuri

Tops for the Hunter x Hunter comparison.

You have excellent comedic timing

Fairy Tail is terrible lol why do people like it so much ? It’s so damn repetitive...

Blck clover does the clan guild thing way way better

I swear to fuck. Living in America, where I am, and preaching about OP, trying to get people to watch it, is daunting. You know what happens? "But have you seen Fairy Tail tho, its mad good!" ..... Imma watch it all the way through now, just so I know exactly how OP shits on it. I roughly know what its about, but I gotta get on crafts level here

Dude this is amazing. Plz do an analysis for each arc of one piece or something like that lol

You know what is acceptable from people actually liking FT??? Natsu's outfits Idc about them but i don't know what to write

I love listening to this series get ripped.

Dude it's unfair to compare the highly praised and stasticaly largest sale manga to a dark horse of it's genre

I enjoyed it but I know it’s not actually good

My prognosis of pretty much the majority of the most popular Shonen after Dragon Ball: Luffy is Goku Naruto is Goku Gon is Goku Toriko is Goku Natsu is Goku Asta is Goku and Naruto's love child Deku is Goku and Rock Lee's love child Gintoki is Goku and Ichigo's love child Ichigo is Yusuke Yusuke is Yusuke Pay homage to Toriyama and Togashi. Everybody is biting their shit don't @ me.

Came here from Best guy Ever and I must say this video was absolutely amazing i can't wait for the rest of the series.

I dont LOVE this series at all but u gotta agree op 3 is bomb

its simple, fairy tail appeals to those who dont take notice of the fillers, arcs and ovas that just got shoved in because why not. I don't mind if you like fairy tail but if you go on about how good it is I cant honestly.Its basic, most character development is filler, story line is less fight n more friendship and last but not least nearly all of it is copied from one piece

Here’s one way I think the Alvarez arc could have been done. It’s probably not a good idea, but I’ll let whoever is reading this judge that. Natsu doesn’t return. Lucy decides to start all of this back by herself. So what happens with Natsu? Natsu is with Gildarts when they come across Irene. She says she wants Natsu under Zeref’s orders. Gildarts fights her and dies to her overwhelming might. Right before his death he gives Natsu his power, and Natsu gains Crash magic. He’s about to go on a killing spree but Irene steals Happy and does some magic so if Natsu kills her, Happy dies too. As such, Natsu is forced to follow her. When they get to Zeref, he orders Natsu to join the Spriggan. Natsu does so for Happy’s sake. We don’t know any of this though. Irene is memory wiped and Natsu wears a cloak, going by the name “Spriggan 13.” He follows Zeref’s every command. When the war happens, Natsu does nothing for a long while. Like I said, probably a bad idea, but eh. Also, Acno, Zeref, and Natsu should have been in a tier of their own. Laxus’ nuke on Ajeel or Sema shouldn’t even be comparable to what these three beasts can dish out.

a very poorly written series getting destroyed. THAT IS LIT

I like the concept of the Fairytail world but the story is kinda extremely bad..

Fairy Tail's fights get somehow always fucked up, whether it's a totally out-of-nowhere power-up, an easy fight dragged out to look harder or a fast ending that makes no sense and kills one of the most OP characters (yes, Acnologia, I'm talking to you). The thing is, while Hiro's writing bases a lot on friendship (which, aside from not being that bad also lets us see a little bit of his personality) he also does some amazing storylines such as END being Natsu and at the same time Zeref's "brother". It might not be the most innovative thing you'll hear of but that was pretty mind-blowing. Also, you should check out Eden's Zero to see more of that. So while he's not the best in the world, he is quite good and, at least, his stories make sense (not like a tale about seven magic balls I was told some time ago) and, as always, in the end it depends on how do you like it. I personally love his writing, even though I admit that the "family-friendly" policy sometimes gets on my nerves

yeah just started reading the manga... and i can utterly agree a shame, really, how a story about magic is so.... little about magic

Yeah, One Piece is awesome.

I once wanted to see an official One Piece/Fairy Tail crossover. Is there a way to go back in time to just bitch slap my pre teen self?

The only anime that actually did the "hot headed reckless hero who runs into danger" cliché well is Made in Abyss. Why? Because it actually provided a *REASON* for why the protagonist acts idiotic (and it's a pretty melancholic reason....)

Watching Fairy Tail feels like watch shitty filler

Everybody tries to get me to watch fairy tail. This is a great explanation of why i find it so difficult to watch. Thank you.

A Fairy Tail analysis? Thank you, so I can get all the backlash against this show. It's left me as curious from someone who's never been into it.

man that luffy analysis was just awasome

The worst part of fairy tail is Lucy become mage to find mom her mom is dead no goal why even main character stopped reading

16 seconds into the video and I am already in love with this guy

Tbh Fairy Tail went downhill started post volume 10 because of the sole fact that it was originally suppose to be only 10 volumes. It's a flawed shonen anime that is nothing like Rave Master which is so superior to FT it hurts considering it's Mashima's "next" series. This is coming from someone who read it every Friday back in 2010-12 school. Left the series because needless fan service and quality of writing. Last thing I remember was the magical games or something. Read Psyren or Gantz instead.

Tbh I started FT only because the art seemed pretty similar to One Piece when it began. But little did I know I was in for dissapointment. I kinda liked FT the first arc, it never drove me crazy about it's story or characters, it just felt pretty disposable, just read casually, and got bored fairly quickly.

My problem with Mashima is that someone needs to put a leash on him but FT isnt really any worse than Bleach lack of direction and Naruto screwing up its own premise.

Rave master was slightly better then this

This may be a Hot take but I think Black Clover is better than Fairytale.

Fairy Tail is a quilty pleasure. I totally agree the plotholes and characterisation doesn't add anything to advance the plot. I would even say it's so generic, it's normal it got so popular. Yet, I just find it fun to watch, with a lot good comedy compared to other big shounen. And characters that are fun to watch. And I'm glad the anime version will get to the conclusion, unlike Bleach, worst in all regards. Unlike Naruto, who became a boring mess for a sake of milking the cow to the end. And unlike One Piece, which i adore, but has horrible pacing issue to a point it's hardly enjoyable nowadays. So in the end, Fairy Tail will win, like it or not: the manga ended and the anime version will get the same conclusion at a decent pace. It's more than what the big 3 ever acheived.

Rave Master was so much better that I have some trouble believing they're from the same author.

Loved this video dude. You just earned a subscriber. One small thing to point out tho is that Makarov had 1 significant victory in the FT vs Phantom arc when he uses Fairy Law. This doesn't discredit your argument in anyway, but I thought it'd be important to mention.

I couldn't care less if fairy tails story is shit... Fairy tail is enjoyable as hell ... Its a master of hype 😂😂😂... After a day of hard work its great to watch

I'm so glad bestguyever recommended you

Holy shit there were only 6 months between the previous one and this? The increase in enunciation is amazing.

Another thing that makes no sense in fairy tail; Natsu is a dragon slayer, he is often referred to as the salamander. European dragons are reptiles. Salamanders are amphibians.

Great video, I was a big fan of Fairy Tail for a long time, but I was too young and stupid to notice all the dumb shit in it. I'm better about spotting it now (my favorite moment from a few chapters ago was Zeref being all like "I have control over time, any wounds I get will instantly disappear because I'll make it so they didn't happen," and then in the very next chapter Natsu just punches him and wins, but I guess that happens alot in Fairy Tail.), but I'd gladly watch someone who knows more about what they're talking about explain all the dumb things I STILL don't notice. Can't wait for more man!

Nice video man. I agree with you completely. I began watching your other vidoes and they are well written and well edited. If you continue like this there is no doubt that you will get big. But there is one problem. Please take this as lightly as possible because I am trying to give you feedback that I think will help you, and I really want to see you become more well known. Its your voice. Well, its not your actual voice, its the way you talk. First of all you talk way too fast. Like way too fast. You also have to make a pause between sentences or it doesn't give us time to breathe. It sounds like your just saying one sentence the fastest possible. Also because your talking to fast a lot of the words you are saying come out mummbly and I don't quite understand them. Also you talk with so much force. For an example go to one of supereyepatch wolfs videos. He talks calmly and most importantly softly. but you talk very forcfly. Try to calm it down and talk soft. So those are my feedback to you and please work on them because it will boost your content and make you even better: talk slower, calmer, softer, and take pauses between sentences or when needed to.

Luffy is all about freedom the reason he wants to be the king is so he is the most free man in the world and when he got his first fleet he wanted to disband them so theyr free you can see it in nearly every arc freedom from arlong freedom from crocodile freedom from enel freedom from the celestial dragons and humans as a whole

Fairy Tail used to be really Enjoyable in my opinion. I loved it at first. Was super entertaining with cool premise and nice music. Sadly once they got to that parallel world arc, the show started going downhill for me. I just couldn’t enjoy it.

I hate how people die like every episode but then somehow come back

The problem with Fairy Tail for me was that it had a lot of potential to really flesh out the characters and showcase the world of magic but Mashima didn’t have good direction. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great artist and is a successful writer and manga creator but he bases his characters off of his characters off of his characters. He is just constantly referencing previous garbage and writes himself into corners. The world of Fairy Tail lost its “Open World” meaning to me and the characters back stories are too convenient. In my opinion, Fairy Tail is the Shounen version of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It’s the same shit, just different order. Also, what the hell is the power scale even in Fairy Tail? Makarov is the master, therefore, one of the strongest members yet he is defeated in the beginning of the series easily. Natsu is constantly losing to Makarov, Erza, and Laxus, yet he is defeating enemies that are incredibly stronger than some of these characters

gildarts lesson on tenrou island wasn't about knowing when to quit it was about acknowledging fear for what it was but not letting it force you to be irrational. he gave natsu the pass because if natsu had charged him ignoring his fear and got hurt for an unnecessary promotion he wouldnt have deserved it. that changed when there was a life was on the line. If natsu had ran makarov could have died and if natsu had let fear hold him in the hades fight they all would have died. the lesson was to see through the fear and identify the right course of action not to give up.

Fairy tail needs to be stopped..... *PLEEEEEEEEEASE SEND HEEELPPP*

Natsu learned about Mystogan's plan from that black exceed with arm spasms who happened to overhear the conversation. But I'm not sure how he got his magic back after expending it all to fight the king

I really enjoyed it at first. I started with the manga and when there was no translation (I was lazy for English) I started watching the anime. I was amazed by it. Loved the characters, their backstories and adventures together. They were lovable and pretty funny for me to watch. But it somehow changed, it has got worse and worse by each episode. Everything was ruined for me in the final season. I was sure that nothing about the ending was planned from the begining. I'm really sorry about it, because this was the first series I watched with over 300 episodes. I'm recently reading One Piece (I find it fantastic) and you can feel Mashima took a lot from Oda. The drawing style of the earlier chapters, the storytelling and so on.

"he's...he's shy" is probably the best description of ging that i have ever heard
