Okay, so imagine One Piece refined down to it's best qualities. With magicians instead of pirates. Do you know what you'd end up with?
Fairy Tail.
Yeah, I'm so uber painfully in love with this show. I just started watching it last week and while I've heard good things about it, if I'd had any idea of what it was about, I would have started watching it AGES ago.
I'm not that far yet -- I think I'm nearing the 50th episode -- somewhere around 47 or 48 maybe. It's absolutely addictive.
And as a person who can't help but ship everything in sight, this show has WAY too many conceivable and awesome pairings for me to wrap my head around. I kind of want to ship everyone because there's such great bonds between everyone to start with. I mean, the obvious pairing from the get-go, at least for me, was Natsu/Gray. Because that just works on a number of levels. Then I started getting kind of attached to Lucy -- hell I like her with Natsu and Gray. I wouldn't even mind a threesome with those characters. But then they bring in Erza -- and hell, you can ship her with anyone. Lucy, Natsu ... I suppose Gray too, but I find Lucy or Natsu much more interesting options. Oh, and then I really liked where the took Loke's character -- I'd ship him with Lucy in a heartbeat. Anyways, even despite all of that, I was still pretty firm in my head about the Natsu/Gray pairing. But then they brought in Juvia -- and her and Gray together are just too great for words. I absolutely love them together. Seriously, I want to read fic for this fandom and I don't even know what pairing to start with, lol.
All of that being said, I'm absolutely in love with Happy. Honestly, I'm in love with that blue flying cat.
Share your fic recs with me! Anyone read the manga? Is it significantly different from the anime?
