Fairy Tail - Movie: Phoenix Priestess (Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

Frairy Tail movie is finally here.
Fairy Tail. Such a fun and wild series. First warning. The movie takes place after the seven year time jump. So for most of the content. You need to see at least to box 8. There are some characters you will need to know. I will spoil. But 7 and 8 will take care of most of it.

Ok. Movie review. Ling story short. Buy this movie. Anime films from big series generally suck. Bleach. Naruto. Dbz. Just dont hold up. Why. Because they release one to about every year to two years. They stink.

This is the first fairy tail movie. And it rocks. The production values are high. The art work is crisp. The plot is dark and complex. It is not a throw away ending. It is a real one. Again no spoils.

This is a fantastic movie. But you need to be to at least box 6 to keep up. Enjoy

So if you already have the series this is a good addition to your anime collection just keep expectations down on any great story or plot and just enjoy a good hour and a...

These Fairies are Heroes
The movie itself is something I've come to expect from Japanese movies based on existing anime and manga (such as the Bleach and Naruto movies): one time characters, awesome opening and closing songs and some of the best action battles not found in the original anime. And "Fairy Tail the Movie: Phoenix Priestess" is no exception. I loved Fairy Tail and started my collection with the first DVD released by FUNimation.

A major warning: This film takes place after a 7 year timeskip in the timeline (a point that FUNimation has not yet dubbed as we are on the "Edolas Arc" now) so there will be some key characters and changes that you might not understand unless you read ahead to the point where Japan currently has the story. Anyway, the film is about Team Natsu (and later the other wizards of Fairy Tail) joining forces with a beautiful young maiden named Eclair and her partner Momon to stop a attention grubbing king of a tiny kingdom from unleashing a phoenix...
