the movie is nothing like that at all.įirstly, this takes place far in the series, and I don't when exactly but you've got to pass the 'time skip' bit in order to get what's going on around you (vaguely discribing for fans who haven't seen that much of the series). 'B-but hey! It doesn't matter so much if the movie is regarded as a dairy money milker! Who cares, as long as the content is well-written, entertaining and unpredictably gripping with the same charm, right?' Yes, you're kinda right. Because of this, it'd have to be regarded as a side-story (or in harsher terms, a money milker), and even one where it doesn't effect the series at all.Īnd Fairy Tail fell right into that trap. But what about movies in addition to existing series? Unless some kind of prequel/sequel/remake link is involved in any way, it's hard to add a newly born story to a long-running series because of time-line issues (difficulties as to where it takes place in the series, for example), which leads to many disadvantages with how you can tell a story. Movies tells a story in ways that series sometimes cannot do, and movies like Evangelion, Ghilbi films, Mamoru Hosoda's movies and many, many more are so spectacular in different ways.

Experience can be remotely different considering it being inside a much shorter animation time to tell the story, and it's not so surprising that presentation and development are taken in a completely differently way, as well as budget and production values going all out.Īnd it's mainly the reason why people's expectations go up when a popular or favorable series gets given a movie. However, movies tend to be in a much more grand level, and it generally takes difficult steps to achieve the things series can't. They're similar in how they tell tales of any kind of stories, achieving many things in the anime industry that cartoons and non-japanese animation can't and, of course, the fact that they're both animation. Movies are completely different from anime series, even if it doesn't seem like it on the surface. That was when I finally realized that movies don't really work that way. It's fun having a series you may love or like to get a movie, so I was naturally looking forward to some more Fairy Tail

And now, the long-running popular shounen series finally gets its take on a movie.

I'm not the biggest fan of the series, and granted that the series has lots of flaws which can be easily improved, but altogether the series is very entertaining, the characters are memorable and some arcs can be really fascinating.

Let's not look at the score and assume so soon that I'm not fond with the series altogether I like Fairy Tail as a shounen series.
