When somebody ask me ''why is Fairy Tail your favorite anime"
i only have one answer ''because it makes me forget that i don't have anybody who wants to real be with me. And Fairy Tail is about friendship and i want what they have ''

most of these characters are quite unique and from my POV their backstory is what makes them who the are and it's interesting seeing different animes having their characters have to go through difficult and happy moments in way it shows how they can change their personality
