I was so hooked after first episode to this anime. I still am. 21-29 were excellent. I loved last couple of episodes very much. This fighting festival arch should be really good but I hear nothing can compear next arc. All I know bit hazy details which make me wait more and more. The divine OST... Very, very good. Yes, perhaps FT doesn't bring anything new to the genre but should it? In my opinion it works well.
Divine soundtrack, over the top movement, pure slapstic to nice fights... And no cleavage and panty shot in ever episode. Fairy Tail has alot to offer. I have not read the Ravemaster, authors previous work where alot things are referred. I find this anime very enjoyable. I just wish they would start release it here in Manga. English manga's are twice the as expensive as nativelly translated.
And I know that much future things that I say there's definately plot in FT, the red thread has been showed now and then previous episodes but IMHO
when Wendy appears into the Fairy Tail and the significance of Dragon slayer's and their cat companions start to become evident, (except Gajeel who doesn't have a cat companion much of his future annoyance)
pieces start get together. There's plot, definately.
