Fairy Tail - Part 4 [Blu-ray + DVD]

This is my first review, so I hope you all enjoy!

The release date for this is not until March 20th, however I received it early from RightStuf.com, and so I am able to make this review.

Part 4 continues the story of Erza's once tragic past where she was a slave in the Tower of Heaven. Her child hood friend Jellal has since then taken over the tower and continued its production, due to the Demon "Zeref" who took over his conscious. Once the issue with the Tower is resolved, the Fairy Tail members return home to find their guild bigger than ever, with many new ramifications. There also seems to be a few new members, one of which you may be shocked to see. Laxus finally makes a return to the guild with his 3 followers, Freed, Bixlow, and Evergreen, where they declare a festival to see who is the strongest in the guild. This battle quickly escalates, pitting members of the guild against each other, and Laxus then reveals his sole reason for this fighting festival. After we gain some more backstory on Laxus, the guild holds the Fantasia Parade, ending the set off with a very emotional impact.

The voice acting, as always, in both Japanese and English were well done. The quality of the anime on Blu-Ray is superb, it is much better than just finding some old website that hosts it in Standard Definition. For the price, it is definitely worth it, you will enjoy watching these 12 episodes which end season 1 in a very sensational way. This may be the final set in America, so if you want to see more after this, then please continue to support the industry.

While the set gives us the finale of the Jellal/Erza arc it also gives us the entire story episodes of the Laxus/Fairy Tail story arc as well, which is truly appreciated. While it's going to be a little annoying having to wait until we can get the rest of the series here in the States I'm still appreciative to Funimation for giving us the series sets we have right now as well. The voice cast for the characters both for the dubbed and subbed are fantastic in their roles and fit them perfectly and hopefully for us the dubbed cast will come back again to redo their roles for this series when Funimation can get more episodes from the Japanese producers. Though that might take a little while seeing as the series itself is just entering into its 120th episode so we may have to wait a year at least. Like with past sets you'll have two regular dvd discs and two blu-ray dvd disc to choose whichever one you want to watch, while I usually watch most of my anime on my computer I have checked a few of the blu-ray dvd's out as well and both standard and blu-ray formats look great. So for fans of magical/action animes or for fans looking for a amazing series in general here's a very good one to try out and for the price a great deal too....

It's a great anime what else can I say. A great shounen that redefined the classic magic genre. Great action, comedy, good plot for Jella arc sorta and the Lacy's one is complete in the DVD. If you already have some fairy tail DVD and love it you won't be dissatisfied by this. If you love naruto shippuden, bleach, Dragon ball , D.gray man or fma brotherhood you probably love this show.
