Are you ready to join the Guild?! -- Fairy Tail
I am watching an anime TV series lately. It was showing on the Animax a few weeks ago, but only until episode 48. But this anime series can be continued to watch online as it is still ongoing. This anime series is called "Fairy Tail". It is an adaptation from the same name manga series by Hiro Mashima. "Fairy Tail" is actually a shounen manga. It has also won the Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation's Industry Awards in 2009 for best comedy manga.
The "Fairy Tail" anime series is an adventure, comedy animation. All the characters have their different styles and some of them are funny, cute, cool and pretty.
Title : Fairy Tail (フェアリーテイル Fearī Teiru) /妖精的尾巴(魔道士)
Author : Hiro Mashima
Genre : Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Shounen
Episodes : 60 (on going)
Story :
A young celestial wizard, Lucy Heartfilia (17 year-old), runs away from home and travels to the land of Fiore to join the magical Fairy Tail Guild. Along the way, she meets Natsu Dragneel, a teenage boy looking for his foster parent, a dragon named Igneel, with his best friend, Happy the cat. Shortly after their meeting, Lucy is abducted by Bora of Prominence, who was posing as Salamander of Fairy Tail, to be sold as a slave. Natsu rescues her and reveals that he is the real Salamander of Fairy Tail and has the skills of a Dragon Slayer [fire type], an ancient magic. He offers her membership into the guild, which she gladly accepts. They, along with armored maiden Erza Scarlet, ice maker Gray Fullbuster, and Happy, become a team performing various missions offered to the Fairy Tail guild.
Characters :
Natsu Dragneel (ナツ・ドラグニル Natsu Doraguniru)
The main male character of the series. Natsu has a carefree and reckless nature and constantly bickers with other members of the guild. He has a competitive relationship with frequent teammates Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet; Gray tends to insult Natsu, prompting frequent skirmishes, while Erza, an S-class wizard, represents a way for Natsu to prove how strong he is. Despite his reckless and headstrong nature, Natsu is a skilled tactician and can pick up on an opponent's abilities and weaknesses very quickly. He is also vehemently loyal to Fairy Tail, and does not allow anyone to sully its name. Natsu suffers from motion sickness from all modes of transportation, including trains, carriages, and people carrying him on their back; the only exception is being carried by Happy. He is voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara.
Natsu's nickname is "Salamander", and he is often recognized by his pink hair, scale-skin scarf, and fire magic. He was raised by the dragon, Igneel, who taught him how to talk, write, and use an ancient style of magic known as "Dragon Slayer". Because of his magic, Natsu can eat any flame other than his own for nourishment. He can also emit fire from any part of his body.The size and power of the flame is a direct result of Natsu's mood, so when properly motivated in a battle he is recognized as one of the strongest wizards in Fairy Tail. During the series, Natsu consumes some Etherion, magic that is captured in solid form of a crystal, which greatly improves his abilities; his skin becomes scaly, and his speed and the strength of his fire are also greatly increased. This is known as the Dragon Force, the highest level of Dragon Slayer magic, allowing one to gain the power of a dragon. In Mashima's one-shot short story that served as the basis for the manga, Natsu was originally a spirit, and had horns on his head.
Lucy Heartfilia (ルーシイ・ハートフィリア Rūshi Hatofiria)
Happy (ハッピー Happī)
A blue, talking cat with the ability to use magic. Series creator Hiro Mashima was originally going to name him "Freyr" after the Norse god, but didn't think it fit his character. In keeping with his name he is generally quite happy, and is more cool-headed than his partner, Natsu. One type of special ability magic called "Aera" allows Happy to temporarily grow wings on his back and fly, but he can only carry one person in this form. This is the only kind of transportation that does not give Natsu motion sickness. When asked why, Natsu exclaims that Happy is a friend, not a means of transportation.Happy emerged from an egg found by Natsu in the forest, and with the help of Lisanna, Mirajane's and Elfman younger sister, they took care of the egg, hoping a dragon would emerge. The egg was taken by Elfman, who had taken the egg when Lisanna and Natsu were sleeping, wanting to help with the egg's hatching, but was too embarrassed, and decided to help out secretly. After Magnolia is absorbed by Anima, he discovers that he is an Exceed, a race of cat-like creatures that can absorb magic within their bodies. He is voiced by Rie Kugimiya.
Gray Fullbuster (グレイ・フルバスター Gurei Furubasutā)
A main character in the series. He frequently teams up with Lucy and Natsu when they go on a mission. Natsu and Gray have a very brotherly, albeit competitive, relationship, with Natsu picking a fight with Gray whenever he says something that might be seen as insulting. Lucy theorizes that their constant fights are a natural byproduct of the magic styles. He is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura.
Gray was taught how to use ice magic by Ul when he was a child after his parents were killed by Deliora. When Gray later attacked Deliora to seek revenge, Ul sacrifices herself to trap Deliora in ice and save Gray. During his training with Ul, Gray was forced to live in a snowy region wearing nothing but his underwear in order to get accustomed to the coldness of ice. Because of this he has developed the subconscious habit of removing his clothes at inappropriate times, as he is most comfortable without them. Gray is one of Fairy Tail's most talented wizards, and he is able to form static formations of ice with relative ease. Unlike his fellow student under Ul, Lyon, Gray uses both of his hands when forming ice since using only one hand can create unbalanced ice forms. After defeating Juvia, she falls in love with him and joins Fairy Tail to be with him, where they develop a friendship. His necklace is a replica of Rave from Hiro Mashima's previous work.
Erza Scarlet (エルザ・スカーレット Eruza Sukāretto)
a main character in the series and one of Fairy Tail's S-class wizards. She is a very strong individual, is very stern, and places great value on the rules of Fairy Tail; if someone steps out of line or is slow to do as she asks, she does not hesitate to punish them, so many characters are quick to apologize if they think that they have angered her. This comes up most often when Natsu and Gray start arguing, where they are quick to stop and make up if someone mentions Erza. Erza is not without compassion, however, and will do her best to make Natsu and Gray happy, even if it means delaying their punishment until later. She is voiced by Sayaka Ohara.
As a child, Erza was one of the many slaves that constructed the Tower of Heaven. She was beaten frequently while there and eventually lost her right eye. She was eventually able to escape during a slave rebellion but was forced to leave her friends behind. Erza eventually arrived at Fairy Tail, and is given a false eye from Porlyusica. Her desire for armor resulted in her "re-quip" style of magic; with it she can instantly equip herself with armor or weapons in her vast arsenal. She is a talented warrior, being of comparable ability to guild leaders like Makarov. Her legendary status leads to her title of "Titania Erza", meaning "Queen of the Fairies". Her name was adapted from Eru, a character from a one-shot short story by Mashima that served as the basis for Fairy Tail.
Jellal (ジェラール Jerāru)
He is initially introduced under the alias of Siegrain, a young member of the Magic Council. His design is the same as that of Rave Master's Sieg Hart, Hiro Mashima's previous work, as a form of fan service. He was taken as a slave during his childhood, and along with Erza, rebelled against their captors. Their purpose was to create the "R-System", which would have been used to revive Zeref, the Black Wizard. Jellal was corrupted by Ultear, posing as Zeref in his mind, who promised power for "reviving" him. Together, the two work to rebuild the R-System, using several other former slaves to help them. After being defeated, he regains his senses and helps Erza and Natsu escape, and he is later found by his former teacher, Brain, who revives him to find Nirvana. Jellal loses his memory, only remembering Erza's name and the pain associated with it, and attempts to destroy Nirvana and himself to end the pain, though Erza manages to convince him to stop and keep on living. After the destruction of Nirvana the Magic Council soldiers arrive to arrest Jellal, much to everyone's dismay. He uses "Heavenly Body" magic that allows him to move and fly as quickly as a meteor, and he can create vortexes. He is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa.
Fairy Tail is a guild of wizards that typically regard each other as family, though they are very violent towards one another. It is regarded as one of the strongest guilds, but due to the constant collateral damage during their missions, they do not have a very good reputation. It has been said that everyone in Fairy Tail carries the wounds of a sad past.The strongest members of the guild are called S-class, which are currently made up of Gildarts, a man said to be only second to Makarov, Erza, and Mirajane. Former S-class mages are Laxus and Mystogan.
Actually there are many more characters are appearing in the story, I am here only introduced the mains to you. There are more characters who are funny, idiotic and cool. You may catch them in the anime/manga as you follow the story.
Personally, I like all the characters above very much, as they are cute, funny and cool, especially Jellal and Gray. Erza is smart and pretty and cool. Lucy is sexy and cute. Natsu is funny! You may catch all these in the anime series. The other characters are Mirajane, Wendy, Laxus, Hibiki.
The anime adaptation premiered on October 12, 2009. It is co-produced between A-1 Pictures and Satelight. From episode 1 on-through episode 11, the opening theme song was "Snow Fairy", performed by Funkist; with the ending theme being "Kanpekigu-no ne" performed by Watari Roka Hashiritai.
