The story is completely generic stuff and easily the weakest part of the show. I hear he was placed there to please the fans of Rave Master but I don’t believe that. Is that their way of telling us even clearer that they are rehashing other works INCLUDING their own? That sounds really tasteless to me.

Now what did that manage to accomplish other than annoying the average fan? Rave Master was a completely generic, aimless, boring, and incomplete series and you can easily see they are reusing the same character archetypes from there. Another thing that annoyed me is how they placed as cameo Plue, a creature from the same mangaka’s earlier work titled Rave Master. The character figures are again nothing memorable most are almost counterparts of people from other shonens, so again it has a problem being remembered for anything. There is no theme in the FT world and it passes by as a generic fantasy realm. It doesn’t seem to stand out from the lot like others do, which again makes it hard to be remembered in the long run. The art is ok for its genre but the setting lacks characterization. Oh well, I might as well make some further analysis just for the heck of it. It can work alright but it will never stand out on its own it will forever be just a rehash of already established formulas that have been attributed to others at least a decade earlier.

For to be honest, there is approximately zero innovation in this work and it just walks upon the path others paved before it. It is hard to analyze or criticize anything in this show without feeling like I am just stating the obvious or just describing a different shonen. Nothing we haven’t seen before but, hey, if it worked before why wouldn’t it work again?

Because just like those shonens, FT has superpowers, adventure and a big cast of colourful and eccentric characters that occasionally get focused upon and fleshed out. I guess rehashing notions from Naruto or One Piece can make a success out of anything. Fairy Tail (FT) is from the pilot chapter/episode an average shonen series and yet it is loved by many for being just that. Ah, gotta love the masses and their love for mediocrity.
