Fairy Tail is a Shonen Anime that is based on Hiro Mashima’s manga series of the same name (other works: Edens Zero). Shinji Ishihira directed this anime, which was produced by Satellite and A-1 Pictures studios (other works: Sasaki and Miyano). The story takes place in Fiore, a magical land where magic is a part of everyday life for its inhabitants. Facilities ranging from transportation to common supplies all exist because of magic and its benefits. However, it is speculative to believe that magic may be utilized for enormous evil. Magic guilds have been founded to guard dark powers against disrupting the natural order of magic.
Our main protagonist, Natsu Dragneel, while looking for Igneel, comes across a celestial mage (the user who can summon various celestial spirits), Lucy Heartfilia. Lucy discovers that Natsu is a member of the Fairy Tail guild after he rescues her from some sleazy fraudulent magician, and she accepts his invitation to join the guild. When She joins the Fairy Tail Guild, she comes across knowing many mages. Firstly the Ice wizard Gray Fullbuster, the person with is always without clothes. Erza Scarlet, the peerless combat Queen. Being teamed up together, they went embarked on a journey filled with many Quests. But the one danger that they must face is the ultimate feared Dark Magic Lord.
Filled with lots of adventure, action, and comedy, here are the 10 reasons why you should watch Fairy tail.
1. Engaging and Consistent Plot
The Plot of the Fairy tail is very virtuous, the story doesn’t take time to introduce new characters. Daybreak ark was Natsu and Lucy’s first Mission, which set the center of the plot of them going on adventures. With every new Arc, the story got better and the narration of the plot wasn’t slow. The world-building in the plot remains reconcilable with the characters. Most problems with Shonen Anime are that episodes tend to be repetitive with the plot and recaps. But with Fairy tail it’s the opposite case, the recaps are short and the story progresses well at a good pace. The element of fantasy, action, adventure, and comedy is blent well with the story.

2. Quirky Characters
Fairy Tail has quite a lot of unique characters, mostly consisting of Fairy Tail guild members. Each character has an eccentric edge and connection to the other. Natsu can be described as an emotionally complex character with having a comedic side to him. Besides Natsu, there are characters like Lucy, Gray, Erza, and Happy.
All the characters, especially Natsu, Gray, and Erza, have tragic pasts, which help with their character development in the future. Every Character in the Anime has great development throughout the series. Every complex mission or Evil force they deal with makes their character more strong and more mature. You will end up loving all the characters in this anime and will probably become hardcore fans.

3. Best Soundtrack and BGM
There is no doubt that a major part of an Anime is its background score and its soundtrack. Fairy tail has one of the best soundtracks, and Background scores varied between Pop, Rock, and even Rap genres. Sound Director Shouji Hata has done a brilliant job in attaining the emotions. The opening themes are marvelous with match the pace of the screenplay well, which keeps you interested in the plot. The Background score comprises of making many breathtaking moments within fight scenes with its music. My favorite opening song and background score are “Snow Fairy” and Erza’s and Natsu’s theme.

5. Best Arcs
What comprises a story in an Anime is its Arcs. Every Arc consists of an existing Plot that centers around the story with specific sections of the story. These can also be called mini-plots that end with some resolution which helps the main storyline. There are many great Arcs in the Fairy tail Anime. Each story arc contributes greatly to the main story and character development. There are many arks with great action sequences and emotional moments. My favorite arc is the “Grand Magic Games” and “Tartaros” Arc. Every Arc covers normally 20-50 Episodes. Some viewers might skip the filler arcs in this anime, but the “key of Starry Sky” ark is a must-watch.

6. Epic Power-Ups in Fights
What makes a great fight scene more intense is power-ups. Being the strongest character doesn’t always pay off as there is always someone higher than you. To overcome these overpowering villains, you have to keep upgrading your powers. Fairy tail’s main character Natsu is capable of using Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. He is undoubtedly one of the strongest wizards in the series and has some of the best power-ups. One of the best Power-ups of Natsu includes “Dragon force”, “Hidden fire form” and “Multi Dragon force”. You can feel goosebumps while watching the fights.

What one can gain by watching anime, and being entertained is one aspect of it. But being inspired is another story altogether. Fairy tail has many aspects of the story that inspires the viewers. There are many life lessons you learn while watching anime. The most important life lesson for me was the “Value of friends and family”. Fairy tail teaches us the joy of friendship. When Lucy first stepped into the Fairy Tail guild, she felt like she had become a part of a big family. A family that she never had, which, in general, gave her strength to move forward in life.
