User blog comment:Fairy Tail Grand Master/My First Impression on Fairy Tail/@comment-5268982-20120709160748

This was pretty close to how I felt at the first fairy tail episode. It is the second anime I ever watched, the first being One Piece. That's why I kind of compared Natsu with Monkey D. Luffy and Lucy with Nami, because in my opinion there were too many similarities between them (in the first episode, that is). About Lucy I thought "meh, another weak character in combat that supports with humour and fanservice" and about Natsu I thought "the typical protagonist". The humour had some similarities with the One Piece humour as well. So since One Piece was my favorite anime(the only I had watched but the best there could be in my eyes) I decided to give this one a chance too. Since then Fairy Tail is my favorite Anime(despite lack of blood) and manga.

Oh, also about the Opening I had a similar reaction at all those "main" characters that were introduced. They all looked pretty important and unique too!
