Fairy Tail, le film : Dragon Cry

So this looked like fun, judging from the box art and all of the extras included. I've never seen the Fairytale TV show but I figured the movie would act as a competent entry into the universe as long as it wasn't too reliant on material I had not consumed. I was both right and wrong. The movie is extremely simplistic in regards to story but it's also a confusing mess of chaos and utter drivel.

There is a magical artefact of a "Dragon's Tear" that gives whoever wields it enormous power, so, naturally, the big bad of the movie wants to get his hands on it. A team of heroes (who all look identical to each other) band together to stop him in several loud, confusing nonsense scenes of supposed "action" that absolutely did my effing head in! There is nothing to recommend this anime, not even the plentiful, bouncing, busty, buxom babes and the crotch shots that followed them around could stop me from falling asleep.

If THIS is what Anime has become then I'm checking out now. Beautifully animated it may be, but Fairytale Dragon Cry is complete trash and the English dub is frequently quite poor.

Just as great as The Phoenix Priestess aka the 1st Fairy Tail movie

It's completely a film for kid. Been a Fairy Tail reader for a few years so I bothered to actually watch this movie in theatre but I regret to say I am very much disappointed after watching this movie. The whole story is just too simple and naive. It's a shame that this shitty movie was written by the author Hiro Mashima himself. Expected more of it.

I feel like who ever directed this movie just everyone to see how well they can sexualise everything, to add onto this, it has more plot holes than a sponge called plot, if you want to watch, do not pay the price to see it

As one who watched Fairy Tail not long time age. I would say that the anime is top tire shonen in everything. The characters' writing here are awesome and anime is top 3 best written shonen charcters of all time. Like you can't even tell me there is a single better written villain than Zeref. Why?

Spoilers: Zeref is the best one who represented immortality. His charcter development is peak, the curse he got that made him immortal unable to die from anything and everything around him he loves dies infront of him, all of that because he wanted his brother back. He was turned from a young man who loved life to someone who was forced to hate everything around him while people misunderstood him for evil. Then when it comes to Mavis the only girl that got cursed like him and he truly loved her, she just died in his arms, even though she was cursed like him, Zeref's curse and love was stronger. Then to the point that Mavis gave birth after her death to August. And after few years Zeref found him and named him after the month he was with Mavis. August know this was his father, but he didn't dare to tell him, because then he will also die of Zeref's curse, so he spend 100 years with Zeref without telling him the truth.

There's more charcters like that in Fairy Tail, but you can tell how much writing Fairy Tail got. The only flaw in the anime is the fan service and the bad begging, like it took me 90 episodes to hook me up, but overall goated anime and one of the best animes in history.
