The anime Fairy Tail - is a title that almost needs no introduction. This adaptation of the work of Hiro Mashima , has a great acceptance fans around the world. We are probably facing one of the great franchises in the world of manga anime and one of the candidates to happen as the flagship of the fandom to One Piece , a work that usually have numerous comparisons due to the similarities between the two.
An alternative world where magic is something in common use, a group of heroes who face many dangers and plenty of adventures to live. It looks like a list of topics right? For mages guild most famous anime hide much more than they may seem.We will review the anime adaptation of the universe created by Hiro Mashima,whose license is held by Selecta Vision .
Fiore is a fictitious country where magic is commonplace. Such is their normality has even become a commodity to be traded. Those who master these arts are called, how could it be otherwise, magicians. Magicians, grouped into guilds, and identified as a tattoo own brands, offering their services in exchange for money, thus turning them into ordinary workers. Still, there are magazines with much pull in giving details of the lives of famous magicians that make them look like real stars, so it is a very prestigious profession.
With this premise begins Fairy Tail, one of the last great sagas of manganime to date. Since it is a long and high load mood series, anyone can think from the beginning that is just another series of entertainment for the general public, but that definition does not do justice the series in question this time. Create a work of entertainment is not something simple, much less, and is something that can also be done brilliantly or badly wrong. Fairy Tail is the first group. His story follows blindly the steps in an anime of these characteristics, with a story that aims to engage and entertain the viewer, with clearly differentiated characters introduced gradually in history and a handful of epic battles that will keep the viewer glued to the screen.
Quarrelsome characters and magic
All of the above would be the predictable part, the most typical, but now discuss in detail what gives personality to this work, what makes it different and what the difference in a long series of lots. To begin with, the main characters of the member who names the series are quarrelsome and compulsive, but are endowed with a big heart. This will be for them both a fortune and a curse, since your group will be responsible for the destruction of places at some point to protect.
The visceral nature of the characters will lead to internal clashes, which will not be moralistic examples of what should be done at all times. While there are heroes and villains, everyone at some point may make wrong or behave more or less objectionable according to the principles that are used to seeing decisions.
Another of the hallmarks of Fairy Tail is the fact that magic is conditional. That is, a magician can not do what he pleases at all times, but its powers depend on the type of magician it and each of its techniques have their pros and cons. This will in most cases it resolve a fight for or against the characters, giving rise at all times be the wit, and not brute force, to decide who wins.
The use of humor
Noteworthy is the use made of humor identity not only as part of the series, but as a tool to break the tension depending on what time. The changes of pace and the unexpected appearance of recurring characters, often linked to these little gags that populate the argument Fairy Tail perhaps reminiscent of a little more classic animes and are very effective in a Western audience. An intense knowledge is required the or the Japanese culture to understand most comical situations listed topics.
We should also mention that the translation of the edition of Selecta Vision is a great support in this regard, since they have adapted these situations and save the obstacle posed by the fact that on many occasions the case of puns.
Where ideas are born
The original manga is the work of Hiro Mashima, who achieved his greatest success precisely this work. Shonen Magazine in Japan was who was responsible for publishing this work that has given much joy to the magazine Kodansha . Its combination of characters with character, a dystopian and timeless world and the use of magic as an element commonly used are signs of very marked identity in this work. To date Norma has published 46 volumes in Spain. This popularity got the mangaka visitors Spain during the XVIII Salón del Manga de Barcelona. He stressed that the experience had been very positive and showed a photo of the event including the volume number # 36-star anime adaptation did nothing but shoot the already considerable acceptance by the public of this manga adventure.
The protagonists
Natsu Dragneel: The main character of this story was raised by a dragon namedIgneel. After teaching everything he knew and give the power to control fire, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Since then, Natsu tries to find out what happened to her adoptive father and lives tremendously influenced by this forced separation. His compulsive nature leads him frequently to discuss with your fellow guild and get into situations which then can not get out without help. It is perhaps the best example of a member of the guild Fairy Tail.
Lucy Heartfilia Lucy is a passionate young magic. It has the ability to establish contracts with Celestial Spirits linked to the modern constellations that provide services either to defeat enemies to make life just easier. It is a dreamy both, although sometimes seems to be the most rational of the group, especially with regard to the economy. With the help of Natsu, he was able to enter the guild and has a genuine vocation manga.
Happy: Happy is a magical creature itself. This is a talking blue cat that can make wings that allow him to fly, carrying even the actors often appear. His obsession with fish and recurring appearances in the comic moments make it a habitual resource when changing the record of history. It is also the only character who, even anecdotally, addresses the audience. Whether to make a link between scenes or to provide additional information at the end of the episode, it is a kind of link between history and the spectators who enjoy it.
Erza Scarlet: Powerful magician with the power to invoke weapons and armor whose properties will be useful for every occasion. It has permission to accept the most dangerous missions and has great leadership qualities. His serious personality is the perfect counterpoint to the other characters, and its reflective nature saves guild members on more than one occasion.
Makarov Dreyar: Commonly known as "Old", the guild master of Fairy Tail is a wise with infinite patience and an occasional compulsive inclination to follow and overreaching assumptions Fairy Tail guild. Should always be aware of this character, since it is often able to predict what will happen, whether the situation seems totally lost.
Grey Fullbuster: Counterpoint Natsu in personality and dominant element. It is a quiet and introverted and the ability to create ice inanimate objects person. This serious character is often a comic element by its tendency to strip anywhere. Start earning in depth from the second season, when they are revealed details of his past.
Meanwhile, in Japan
This anime is produced by A-1 Pictures. The management is carried out by Shinji Ishihira while writing the script is Masashi Sogo thing. The character design work was in the hands of Aoi Yamamoto until he was replaced by Shinji Takeuchi.
After a long hiatus, it was announced that in April 2014 the Tokyo TV series again with the same staff as to the voices and much of the technical team. To date, it had counted 175 episodes and an undeniable success, so the news was welcomed by the Japanese followers. It currently has 240 episodes in its regular series, severalOVAs and a feature film also distributed in Spain under the title The High Priestess of the Phoenix.
The edition
The level of demand regarding the issue of an anime in Spain is usually high. This is further accentuated when the distributor is Selecta Vision, who has a large number of licenses at a high level, so the expectations are usually more than considerable.
The technical characteristics are usual in an issue of this kind. Note that the sound format comes in 2.0, some not so remarkable in a recent issue of an anime years after leading accustomed editions 5.1. The audios available are the Japanese original and the Castilian, with subtitles.
As for the dubbing in Castilian, still having its lights and shadows and having seen better examples in the path of Selecta Vision, is a proper dubbing, which does its job and even more if we consider that it is a series very long that probably do work against the team of dubbing. Some situations require some changes quick to emphasize the comic scene condition record, but nevertheless, somewhat detracts lose that rhythm and the result.
We must also say that the names of the techniques used by the characters usually have names in English, a language that appears even in written texts and has a great weight in the work. These names are sometimes incorrectly pronounced.While it is unnecessary to sound like a native speaker pronounce yeah that are inserted vowels or even whole syllables where it should not be. Japanese is customary much adapt these names to your language, but in Castilian term usually means that this time has not been reached entirely used.
Precisely because of this comment is a good translation. This is one of the strengths of history. Puns are usually well made and keep the comic effect of history. Get connect with Western audiences, which is ideal, since it overcomes the cultural barrier that often make this kind of features are lost. A funny story is always much more difficult to translate than it seems.
Conclusion
Fairy Tail is a work with undeniable success, one of those big names sagas that get fun and becoming increasingly scarce. In an increasingly marked by science fiction, horror or drama industry, it is curious that means a breath of fresh air a work of adventures with old school flavor. As only "but" to this series, it could be said that at the beginning of the same no villains with a remarkable personality. The episodes are somewhat disjointed and the players get all the attention of the argument, which makes it a thread take a less stable driver or a group of villains with personality. We can say that this problem is solved from the second season, in which also we meet new details of the protagonists.
