if you're gonna draw a character from a show and then call it bad, might as well put an anti-show tag cuz :(
it's very upsetting to see good art but then hate at the same time of your favorite shows
It’s less that I’m anti-show and more care too much about its flaws. Fairy tail is a show that has so much potential with all its characters, its world, and it’s magic, but it’s all executed in a way that throws it all to the side because Mashima preferred to use the power of friendship to win a fight.
I like fairy tail and it upsets me because I can what it could have been but am stuck with what it is. I understand why Mishima made all the decisions he did in the series. It’s a shonen so it’s catered to young boys. A complex story with thought provoking narratives isn’t needed or expected. He had no friends and grew up without a father so he made fairy tail about found family and healing broken bonds with those who you once held dear. But in between it all is just hamfisted attempts at tear jerkers and egregious fan service
Erza is my favorite character and I had to sit through the whole series watching her character taking a back seat in so many scenes because they NEEDED to show off her body. Lucy is a character with so much potential but the entire first 2/3s of the series have the arcs centered around “oh no Lucy got kidnapped AGAIN so we gotta friendship her out of the clutches of the evil guy who kicks babies and eats elderly women”.
I’m not anti show. I’m anti bad writing. At the end of the day, it’s not that serious though. I’m an American complaining about a Japanese show outside of the target demographic. It simply didn’t suit my tastes but others swear it’s peak. Lemme be a hater.
Tldr: it ain’t that deep. The show could’ve been better.
