I'm just not gonna stand here and pretend that the series a a whole was a flawless masterpiece. Just heaping praise on Fairy Tail isn't worth my time or yours, we already liked it, as a critic (not really) I gotta call as I see it.

Because of how long it's been running, some fans (Fairy Tards) are willing to take whatever they can get at this point, accept in what Hiro Mashima pumps out with a smile, support, and without question, more often than not preferring to be willingly ignorant of any problems and some (Fairy Tards) lashing out at whoever might bring those shoes up equating decent with an attack of their own belief structure, believing Fairy Tail is incapable of doing wrong.

Well, that's never been me and it never will be. While Fairy Tail is great, I wouldn't call it faultless, nor would I say it dethrones Rave Master as the best work Hiro Mashima has ever done. It's an ambitious but undeniably flawed outing with too many contrivance in its story to give it a perfect grade.
