My thoughts:
After cracking open this classic anime for a try I’m thoroughly impressed. It starts out prety much like most anime series’ with the underdog hero trying to impress a heroin but this anime, at least in episode 1 does it right. So far there is a perfect balance of action, fighting scenes, love and romance, etc. I’m also loving the fact that the female protagonist has an attitude buthe the male protagonist uses genuine ways to impress her.
At the end of the episode we even see him fight off a fraudulent “Fairy Tail” member and randomly announces that he himself is with the Fairy tail, a prestigious group of heroes apparently.
Excited to tkeep watching and see where things are going.
