One of the anime that I am currently watching is Fairy Tail (BTW, Funimation, hurry up with new dubbed episodes already!) And I personally am thoroughly enjoying it. In fact I may have binge watched 100 episodes in about a week...worth it. But one thing i'm rather caffufled on is, do people in the anime community actually like Fairy Tail? I mean I think it's really popular, It's often considered to be one of the big 5 (Even though that used to be only 3) yet I rarely see people talk about it. I mean most of the time with these really big anime, especially the over the top ones like say One Piece for example, the anime community tend to dislike, because the anime community in reality are animation hipsters who hate anything popular and will attack you if you like anything popular or different from them and claim you're not a real anime fan...sorry, different rant for a different time. But I don't see people actually talk about Fairy Tail, I mean i've seen plenty of amv's for it online so it obviously has a fanbase. but even then, i don't think i've ever seen people fight over it, it's never brought up when talked about the big anime. It's not popular enough to be mainstream and it's not subverted enough to be hipster. It's sort of this middle ground anime that doesn't seem to have a reputation as being overhyped, underrated, simple, pretentious or...anything. I guess that's a good thing that people don't have strong feelings on it so I can just watch it without worrying about what other people think, but even so, it is a thought in the back of my head.
Oh, and Merry Christmas, I guess...
