Fairy gone

Many people used to more My hero Academia-style storylines will find Fairy Gone's plot to be much more intricate than what they are used to. Its pacing is fast and it leaves a lot of blanks at first- it fills these in in extremely satisfying ways later. this is not a 'punch 'em up' anime-

This is an anime about war.

Its about how war affects people- its about politics, its about what people do when their side loses, how they choose their values, how they pursue their values. I did really enjoy the fighting sequences- its beautifully animated with incredible character designs, but the fighting is supposed to be storytelling, not just conflict resolution. Its unlike anything I've ever seen, and set a new standard for me in anime. Every character becomes incredibly complex (yes, even the at first weak main character) and all plot arcs resolve in the second season in a believable and impressively satisfying fashion.

Its so good I've watched both seasons twice since its come out. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but those who do prefer to put a little work into their show watching are in for a very, very rewarding experience.

Side note, I'm Christian, and deeply appreciated that the show had little to no objectionable content. It felt like they were able to make a dark and mature show, without trying to "force" it through arbitrary and often empty vulgarity the way so many shows do.

So after watching 2 episodes, I thought the series was just rather boring and decide to drop it. I like dark anime but this one wasn't at all truly dark in a way. I just felt the story was all over the place and unoriginal.

Keep going if you're a big fan of the series and don't mind my review but that's how I felt..

While other viewers may have been underwhelmed, I think investing the time in this series has paid off, at least in terms of world-building. The characters are sometimes flat, and backstories of the most interesting characters have yet to appear, but the creatures and fairy concepts in this story are interesting and original. There's a slow build, but plot lines are coming together nicely here toward the end, showing us that humans are always human-for good and for evil-no matter what universe in which they're placed. I'm hopeful that the most interesting bits are yet to come.

I've never watched such incessant whining, complaining, and complete lack of self confidence throughout an entire series. The potential was there and this show could have been really fun and entertaining to watch. Instead, all common sense and logic is continuously thrown by the wayside and self pity parties are thrown almost every episode. From the OP characters that seem strong enough to conquer the world getting taken out by a random character or left for some completely ridiculous code of honor is just plain stupid. My eyes were so sore from all the rolling these weak characters managed to make the most simple of tasks into impossible dilemmas was truly nauseating. Don't forget the childish dialogue that has the depth of a puddle and sounds more like grade school children arguing that heroes fighting for a just cause. Combine all these atrocities with constant weak plot holes and overly dramatic rantings of literally every character puts this excrement at the top of the dung heap that is today's version of anime. Only saving grace is this looks to be the only season and hopefully enough warnings have been written to save others from this abysmal, time wasting, failure. I truly feel like a victim that should be compensated somehow for watching this drivel it was so horrific.

It's about a little girl in her 20s finding her model friend that's about 25 that fight about fairys with a ''badass'' veteran that's 28. Its a silly series, its action and plot is meh. Don't recommend.
