Anime Hajime Review: Fairy Tail Season Two (Fairy Tail Month Part 2 of 9)

Season Positives

This season made sense. Fairy Tail is progressing along as I imagined it would be. It got bigger. More characters got introduced. The challenges are becoming more and more difficult to overcome.

In turn, the action is getting more intense. The powers of characters are growing. Their backstories are now more detailed. If this continues, that would be fantastic.

This season didn’t go backward. Although season one was better. Believe it or not, that had much to do with the difference in length. Yes, twenty-four episodes are easier to sit through than forty-eight. Except what happened during those episodes is more important.

Season two’s biggest strength and weakness was its episode count. This season didn’t have some of the problems of the first. That doesn’t mean it fixed those problems. Fairy Tail season two played out different than its predecessor. This was both good and bad. But it was never better.

That said, season two had plenty of moments that were outstanding. As well as many more moments that helped give weight to everything that has occurred so far. I’m still enjoying this series. That has not diminished.

Series Synopsis

It has been several months since Nanami Momozono (voiced by Suzuko Mimori) became the new Land God. Though getting more comfortable in her role, she still has many things to learn. Not only that, she must deal with the intense feelings dwelling in her heart.

Nanami has fallen for her familiar, the fox demon, Tomoe (voiced by Shinnosuke Tachibana). While he has a tendency to be a jerk, Tomoe is always there for Nanami when she needs him the most. Unfortunately, it seems that Tomoe does not see her in the same way.

Yet as it turns out, Tomoe has also grown attached to Nanami. His new master is unlike anyone he has ever met. As much as he tries to deny it, Tomoe knows he loves Nanami as much as she loves him.

Be that as it may, these two are often busy with other matters. Being human is no excuse for neglecting one’s divine duties. As more time goes on, Nanami’s spiritual power increases. As does the relationship between the mortal God and the demon.
