Fairy Tail: Collection Six [Blu-ray]

Fairy Tail is by far one of my favorite anime out there! It really speaks to your soul and teaches so many great values! It also is extremely entertaining to watch with loads of action and plot twists!

After a year of waiting Funimation has finally released Collection 6! All our patience has paid off with this grand set!Finally we get to see the conclusion to the Tenrou Island Arc something that has long been waited for. A sweet, touching, fulfilling ending to a great arc. And now we step into two new arcs that take place 7 years later. X791 arc and Key of the Starry Sky. The lost members of the Fairy Tail guild have to cope with the changes their guild has undergone with their absence.I love the cover for this set. It has Natsu, Lucy and a character introduced in this arc. The cover suits the arc perfectly and is a nice change of pace to just having Natsu on each cover. The side had Lucy and her Celestial Spirit Loke/Leo on the side. Which suits the content of the set perfectly. I’m beginning to think Natsu will be on each cover with some choice character with him. Given that he is one of the main characters this makes a lot of sense.~This DVD set consists of episodes 121-142, which were originally released as Fairy Tail Part 11 & 12 separately.There are 8 discs included. Just so you know this is a DVD & Blu-ray combo pack meaning the Blu-ray is a copy of the DVD. So, in reality, it is 4 discs with four copies on Blu-ray.As always the Blu-ray is stunning it really adds depth to the picture and you notice things not easy to catch in the DVDs. The audio is intense specifically the fight scenes and the moment when Acnologia appears of the scene is intense.All the collection sets are worth purchasing. You get twice the amount of DVDs that part sets have at half the price. The cost is the same but buying the set is worth the price of two sets. It takes longer to be released not going to lie but I’ve found it much easier to collect when I buy them in sets rather than parts. It’s both Part 11 & 12 just combined into one set. We’ve still got around 1 or 2 sets left until the entire collection is released besides 2014 which hopefully will also be released as collections in the future.Funimation shines in their ability to dub the Fairy Tail series in English! I enjoy the quality the dubbing has. Funimation is able to stay true to the spirit of the manga and relies on it sometimes much heavier than the Japanese English subs. Though this is all a matter of opinion if you don’t like the dub there is still the sub in this set and it’s also great. There’s something for everyone in this set.The main arc of this set is entirely filler. Key of the Starry Sky is a filler takes place before Grand Magic Games. If your familiar with fillers those are the arcs made by the anime in order to slow down the series while they wait for the manga to finish it’s current arc. Often these arcs have horrible characterization, bad humor or they are just boring. However, there are a rare few that actually feel like they were always apart of the series.The following arc Key to the Starry Sky is one of those arcs. The people who produced Fairy Tail worked hard to stay true to the heart and quality of the manga and it shows. Also Hiro Mashima actually refers back to this arc quite a bit in following arcs. So even though it’s not actually in the manga it can be considered semi cannon. This arc basically helps Fairy Tail find a foundation after the 7 year gap and gives them time to cope with the changes. It’s fun and really feels like it’s a part of the series.This is an enjoyable filler that still fits perfectly with the canon manga and gives you time to see some of the lesser noticed characters shine. Absolutely worth buying and watching don’t skip this arc just because it’s a filler trust me you’ll be missing out.~Tenrou Island Arc finishes in 2 episodes, and the focus turns to the two other Arcs this set contains:X791 arcSeven years have passed since the destruction of Tenrou Island and the disappearance of all the Fairy Tail members on it. Now Fairy Tail is facing a major crisis, and it could use its strongest members back.Key of the Starry Sky arcThe core Fairy Tail members have returned, and things seem to have gone back to normal. That is until a mysterious girl drops by the guild and brings with her a strange memento from Lucy's late father. When old and new faces arise to claim this memento for themselves, Fairy Tail must literally race against time to save the world.~Episodes Included are:(Note that this is the Episodes on the DVD sets I realize that the blu-ray divided them differently per set, but all the episodes are included.)Disc 1121.

Good Anime

Arrived in good condition

A great improvement from part five, this part keeps you wondering what’s coming up next!

After some great story arcs, Lucy being the 'victim' yet again was bit redundant. Never does anything but cry, be captured, rescued, rinse repeat. This whole arc aside from some great fight scenes, same old same old, and payoff seemed weak. I get that they were trying to flesh out Lucy's 'background' but overall, could've skipped the arc and been perfectly content.

I really enjoy the story line. I would highly recommend this series to any Anime fans. I have watched through part 6 and am highly looking forward to watching parts 7 and 8. So far, from parts 1-6 there have only been a few less than stellar episodes. If you have a Netflix account, then I would suggest trying the show out to see if you like it. The story line is great and as the show progresses I get drawn deeper and deeper into the story line. In my opinion, as far as all Anime shows go this one is the best or at least near the very best.

This has become one of my favorite anime series.I know many people say that it's the same thing over and over, but I don't agree. Yeah, the guild is always on the defensive to begin with and in the end seem to come out on top, but the stories just deepen MY enjoyment on the series even farther. Even my granddaughters enjoy watching this one with me.I've seen the entire series to date and can't wait until the next ( and supposed final season )...though if it is the final season, I will be disappointed, I can say that this is one that I will watch again and again.
