I like One Piece but I have a love/hate relationship with Fairy Tail.

One Piece has 2 major flaws that Fairy Tail hasn't. One is the pacing and the huge arcs. The second is that out of the main characters, only Luffy and Zoro are sure to get fights in every arc, whereas characters like Nami, Robin or Usopp haven't gotten one since ages. On the contrary, on Fairy Tail, you can almost expect to have secondary characters like Juvia, Cana, Mirajane or Elfman have a decent fight on almost every arc.

One Piece's main advantage against Fairy Tail is that the stakes are higher. You can see the heroes desperate, defeated, in pain and agony, and crying. You have that sense of imminent doom that makes it all the more epic when they pull a victory off. That's where Fairy Tail is really frustrating for me and where the "hate" lies in my love-hate relationship with it. The build up each season is good, but then the characters just have it too easy, and it just seems kinda lazy ( ._.)

Those are my two cents on the issue.
