No thread? I know some of you are watching it from other threads. >:

Just seen the first episode, pretty amazing for what it is. I'd rather watch the rest than sit here talking to you guys about it though, so I'll go back. <3

Thanks for telling me about it, YCM. ;D

Watched the first 7 episodes, Marly told me it was a One Piece ripoff so I stopped. But from the first 7 episodes it was pretty good. I tried to pick up the manga again, but imo the anime version was better.

I may start watching it again, depending on how soon I finish the 12 series I'm currently working on.

You stopped watching it after enjoying 7 episodes because you were told it was a One Piece rip-off? That's pretty stupid tbh. You should've just carried watching and formed your own opinion. >.>

[Azure Flame Kite]

It may just be the 4th best anime I've ever seen. Natsu and Erza RULE!

Well if I was going to watch a One Piece rip-off, I would've rather watched One Piece.

Eh, good point. I would've at least watched it myself to see if it were true or not though.

It's no way of being a One Piece rip off even though it's from the same animators of One Piece.

Okay, let me settle this. Oda and Mashima were born in a generation where Dragonball was the hit manga, and it affected them equally. The issue has been dealt with, and it makes even little sense to call it a One Piece rip-off. Using the anime as a way of calling it a One Piece rip-off isn't good evidence either, since both are manga first.

Now that that's out of the way, I love this series. I like Rave more, but this is just great. My favorite have to be Gray, and though I might be stoned for this, Gérard.

The anime is nice, but I feel it was kind of dumbed down and has just way too much stock footage.

Like Roxas says. IMO, Rave pwn'd this series. Rave is more funny and more action oriented than Fairy Tails. But in term of drama, Fairy Tails is more better than Rave.

[Phantom Roxas]

Actually, Rave also tops it in drama.

[Azure Flame Kite]

You can't really compare the two because Fairy tail, as a series, is still young; Fairy Tail hasn't even broke 190 chapters, and Rave has almost 300.

[Umbra]

I've recently picked up on reading Fairy Tail, and I've got to say I like the series. I'm not too fond of how Natsu solves everything by punching it or breathing fire on it until it breaks, but I guess I'm just not that kind of person. Lucy and her spirits make a far more interesting team, and Gray's backstory is far more interesting.

And I'm also a Gérard fan. :3

[Flame Dragon]

I've read 2 chapters so far and I've liked what I read.

And yea, it felt a lot like One Piece. I know they are different, but the feeling I had when I read the first two chapters was a lot like what I feel when I read One Piece.

Also I made a thread on this a few months ago. I love how in 3 months, I've only read 2 chapters.

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

Will probably read it since a good friend of mine loves it.

It always seemed like an anime/manga to get into, but there's too many anime to see and manga to read before it.

lol... true true.

@Marisa: You're from Indonesia too? I didn't know in YCM there are a lot of fellow from our nation. Shocking, eh?

I'm not even that good friend, am I? ;-;

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

@usetheforcehan: I was shocked waaay before when I heard about 5 people speaking in Indonesian on here a long while ago. I forgot what provoked them to do so, but it was awesome. Though, I was raised as an Indonesian, but I'm only a quarter percent since Iraq and the Dutch took over.

Nice to meet you though~ Good to know another Indonesian.

@Sam; You can be that friend D; Now that I know you love it xD

[Azure Flame Kite]

If we're talking about race, are there any other black people here, or am I alone?

[Death Metal]

I love Fairy Tail.

Happy is a pimp.

[Flame Dragon]

So, I finally started reading it. Started 3 days ago and I'm about to start 110. As you can tell, I've been enjoying it.

And some things REALLY are like One Piece. The whole Fighting Festival arc makes me think of the Skypiea arc. Both had around 80 battles, both had the main antagonist that use lightning attacks, both antagonists had 3 underlings (Enel had 4, but one was defeated before the games started), and both had the main protagonist removed for a time.

Also Lucy's measurements are a lot like Nami's.

Edit: Yea, just finished it. Took me 5 day . It's really good, and I'm really happy to have another series to read.
