    Fairy Tail

    http://img3.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spi...a9570_full.png

    why is there no thread on this?

    Because we already have a One Piece thread which is vastly superior. I'm sure someone can post the picture comparing the two.

    blah blah all shonen is basically the same plot.

    you can't compare applies to oranges, they all have a different story and are enjoyable for what they bring to the mix.

    The manga is very enjoyable, people claim it's similar to one piece but so what? Even with some of the similarities One Piece is still awesome as hell, if its similar to that then oh well, more awesome to read every week.

    The anime, however, is pure crap and a terrible adaption.

    I was wondering the same thing a while back, good manga just it's already had so many wtf is this crap moments. (i.e. over the first actual major antagonist). I kinda feel like the plot is hard to take seriously lately.

    Spoiler: show
    by that I mean Gerard and his clones

    If the anime for this is bad, maybe I should get into the manga. With all the people saying it's like OP-1...I have enjoyed stories far weaker than OP, something a little worse than OP sounds great.

    Fairy Tail's mangaka was an assistant to One Piece's mangaka.

    The assistants do alot of the work, especially for a weekly shounen series. Naturally they have the same drawing style as the mangaka since they had to learn to replicate it.

    Just for the sake of asking despite the generally bad reviews here for the anime, for those who do watch the anime, what group are you getting them from or recommend? I saw Taka is going to be catching up on them, but was hoping to find a 2nd dependable group in case things go downhill again.

    Read it for awhile got bored of it. Seems like everyone either has you-know-what type of magic (don't want to spoiler for those who haven't read it and plan to) or is secretly you-know-who.

    According to Fairy Tail's mangaka's wikipedia's trivia section he has NEVER been an assistant to any mangaka. But I kinda want that to be wrong, as I like the idea of a OP-like manga.

    Hmm dunno where I read it, it sounded plausible so didn't question it.

    Reading around some more, looks like both took inspiration from Akira Toriyama, kind of explains the similarities to Dragon Ball.

    I quite enjoy Fairy tail, though I agree the story lately with that guy has been pretty lame. I thinks its pretty good still.

    I used to read this religiously. Then it started to get super lame. Mostly around this time:

    Spoiler: show
    When they showed the funeral for that chick then she didn't actually die was such a fucking rip. I hate it when artists refuse to kill people after stuff like that

    I can definitely see that, assuming they've got a huge fight vs their dragons coming up. Though I'm not sure why they were even trained by them to begin with if that's the purpose. Despite the weirdness of the plot presentation lately, definitely still interested in what's gonna play out.

    haven't been been reading it in awhile but shouldn't the dragon fight be at the very end. Think the dragons knew something would happen to them and therefore trained people to kill them when the time came.

    If the manga is gonna go on, that will definitely be far from now -if even. They are still dealing with all these dark guilds right now. The fight against the dragons is just a shot in the dark at where the story might be going.
