I spent most of yesterday watching Funimation's "Fairy Tail." I only own the first 2 discs of the series, but at least 2 more volumes have already been released or slated for release. I first learned of this show via the Funimation Channel (which was recently removed from the Verizon FiOS channel lineup! Damn!), and it piqued my interest enough for me to add it to my Wish List! Hubby Christopher Wanamaker found the DVD/Blu Ray combo sets at Katsucon 2012! (Thanks, Boo!)
"Fairy Tail" follows the adventures of the celestial wizard Lucy Heartfilia after she joins Fairy Tail: "a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest. One from which countless legends have been born; a guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future" and partners with Natsu Dragneel, who is searching for the dragon Igneel. Natsu aka "Salamander," is a Fairy Tail wizard and easily recognizable by his pink hair. Natsu is the main male protagonist of the series.
Though to date, I've only watched 24 out of 124 episodes, I already find it to be highly interesting and entertaining. I will admit, however, that it does focus quite a bit on fighting. I have no problem with that, as it develops the storyline. I did find one slightly annoying character--Happy, Natsu's blue feline partner. However, Happy also provided some comic relief, so that provided a balance to the annoying side of his personality. Another character worthy of notice was Erza Scarlet, a 19-year-old S-Class wizard, who is usually tasked with performing extremely dangerous missions, and considered by many to be the most powerful female member of the guildcommon sense. Scarlet was a little bossy, but still not a character to be hated.
I know that at least one more DVD of the series has been released, and I plan to get it when I attend Otakon this summer. In the meantime, I can keep myself occupied by watching "Witch Hunter Robin," another title that was purchased for me at Katsucon!!!!!!!!!!!!
