Glad you watched and liked it. My problems with Fairy Tail would be the big the fact that there is such a huge emphasis placed on friends and friendship. In addition most of the fights are very short, but that's because Mashima tends to write short arcs and fights. I do agree that Gildarts is very similar to shanks, and I have had to remove that trivia point from Gildarts' page a countless number of times.
