Fairy Tail Anime Episodes One AND Two Review

 


Anime fans I have reviewed quite alot of anime films over the years and I fully intend on reviewing more anime films in the future. However i've not taken a look at that many anime TV shows or to be more precise i'm not yet taken a look at that many episodes of various different anime TV shows and while this is something I personally cannot see changing that much in the future it is something that i'm very slowly taking my time and working on fixing and so that brings me to todays review and so join me as I review episode one and episode of the TV anime that took the anime world by storm back in 2009 with the anime itself being called simply "Fairy Tail" enjoy the review everyone.

The plot of these first two episodes is a young wizard named Lucy Heartfilia wants to join the best guild in the world with that guild being called simply Fairy Tail however she discovers that joining the guild might or might be alot harder then it seems. In terms of what I thought about the plot of these first two episodes in all honesty I thought that the plot of these first two episodes was at best very weak since the story of Lucy Heartfilia joining Fairy Tail gets resolved near the start of episode which to me seemed like a rather rushed ending to that particular and it get's replaced with a story that wasn't good in my opinion but's just what I think about the plot of these first two episodes anyways.



Starring in these first two episodes are Tia Ballard as Happy , Todd Haberkorn as Natsu Dragneel and Cherami Leigh as Lucy Heartfilia. Also starring in these first two episodes of Fairy Tail are Ian Sinclair as Bora , Jessica Cavanagh as Aquarius , Newton Pittman as Gray Fullbuster , Jamie Marchi as Cana Alberona , Eric Vale as Loke , Monica Rial as Mirajane Strauss , R. Bruce Elliott as Makarov Dreyar , Kayla Carlyle as Romeo Conbolt , Jeremy Inman as Taurus , Ben Bryant as Horologium and Brian Mathis as Macao Conbolt.

In terms of what I thought about the acting that's presented to us in these first two episodes of Fairy Tail in all honesty the acting that's presented to us in these first two episodes of Fairy Tail is alot better then I both remember it being as well being better then it really had any right to be and I say that acting in these first two episodes of Fairy Tail is alot better then I both remember it being as well being better then it really had any right to be because the idea behind fairy Tail is a very silly and as well as very out there idea. Since like I just said idea of Fairy Tail is a pretty silly and as well as a very out there idea and as such no one would have blamed these actors if they chose not to give that good of a performance but no the actors that are in these first two episodes of Fairy Tail do a really good job so much so that these actors are for the most part at leas still voicing these characters eleven years later but that's just what I think about the acting that's presented to us in these first two episodes of Fairy tail tho and that's just in my very humble and very honest opinions tho.


Doing the animation for these first two episodes of Fairy Tail is A-1 Pictures and Satelight with both A-1 Pictures and Satelight also providing the animation for the rest of this first series of Fairy Tail. In terms of what I thought about the animation that is / that's presented to us in these first two episode in all honesty the animation that's presented to us in this first episodes isn't that bad and the animation that's presented to us is alot better then alot of the animation that was to be seen in other anime that came out in 2009 but that's just what I think anyways. 


Now given how popular the character of Lucy Heartfilia was when this show was first being broadcast / released you'd be forgiven if you mistakenly thought that Lucy Heartfilia was the main character of this show. However the only reason why Lucy Heartfilia was everywhere when this show was first being broadcast / released is because she's s**y and well s*x sells as such you can imagine my surprise when I found out that the main character of this anime show isn't Lucy Heartfilia but is instead Natsu Dragneel.

While I do understand why Lucy was promoted alot when this show was first being made / broadcast / released since it's easier to sell a series if it has a cute girl in it then it is to sell a series if it a has a fire eating fighter in it. At the same time there's next to nothing in these first two episodes that even hint at the fact that Lucy could have been the shows main character which is a shame because if she was better written then she could have been a more interesting character but in these first two episodes at least Lucy isn't that well written at all because she's not given a personality or I think any kind of flaws but I could be wrong tho and while the character might get more interesting as the show / series goes on you only get one chance to make a good first impression and these first two episodes of Fairy Tail didn't make a good first impression with the character of Lucy Heartfilia in my humble and in my very honest opinion anyways.


I will fully admit that I was never that big of a Fairy Tail simply / mostly because this show first came out when I was either in sixth form collage or when I was actually in collage and as such I had little to no interest in any kind of anime at that time. Which is a shame because this does seem like it's a really good show and have read more then my fair share of issues from the Fairy Tail manga and if the anime more then lives up to the manga then i'd be more then happy (yes that pun was very much intended) to check out some of the other episodes of even some of the movies from the Fairy tail anime franchise in the near or even in the distant future.

Now then don't hold me to this but but I think that the combined total running for both of these first two episodes of the Fairy Tail anime is about forty five minuets but I could be wrong and I most likely am very wrong as well and I feel that having this story play out over two episodes really wasn't needed and I say that this story being told over two episodes simply wasn't needed due to the fact that you could have told this whole story in one episode and because there isn't enough story to cover or even warrant two episodes. Heck if you did tell this story over one episode you could have had the first half of the episode be what was in the first episode of the Fairy Tail anime and the second be what was in the second episode of the Fairy Tail anime and the best thing of all is you'd have to loose nothing that's important to the actual story but you would for obvious reasons have to cut down on a lot of the filler scenes which are in both of these first two episodes of the Fair Tail anime but that's just what I think anyways.


Now then boys and girls since the Fairy tail anime and the whole Fairy Tail franchise is an action franchise and there is action in these first two episodes that does mean that I have to talk about the action that's featured / presented to us in these first two episodes of the Fairy Tail anime and in my opinion the action that's presented to us in these two episodes of the fairy tail anime is freaking fantastic. Simply because the action that's presented to us in these two episodes of the Fairy Tail anime is so much fun to see and the action in these first two episodes of the Fairy Tail anime is also full to the brim with cool moments which for an action anime is in my opinion at least a really good thing simply because you always want some really cool moments to happen in your action scenes regardless of if your an anime or not if your even animated or not since having some really cool moments in your action sequences is a sure fire way to get your audience excited and that's what the action sequences / action scenes do in this first two episode of the Fairy Tail anime in my personal as well as humble and as well as my honest opinion. 


Overall I honestly really did like these first two episodes of the Fairy Tail anime since there was lots of action and lots of comedy. However there were also some bad things about both of these first episodes and since i've talked about both of the good and both of the bad things that are in these first episodes episodes of the Fairy Tail anime in this very review then I have to say that these first two episodes of the Fairy tail anime get a combined score of an 8.5 out of 10 from me / this anime fan.

As for where I got the images that I used in this review well I got the images that I used in this review from either Google Images or of course the official Fairy Tail fandom wiki page. With my preferred website to use for images from either of these first two episodes of the Fairy tail anime being of course the official Fairy Tail fandom wiki page just simply due to how shockingly high quality as well how shockingly high definition almost all of the images on the official Fairy Tail fandom wiki page but that's just what i think anyways.
