Movies tells a story in ways that series sometimes cannot do, and movies like Evangelion, Ghilbi films, Mamoru Hosoda's movies and many, many more are so spectacular in different ways. Experience can be remotely different considering it being inside a much shorter animation time to tell the story, and it's not so surprising that presentation and development are taken in a completely differently way, as well as budget and production values going all out.Īnd it's mainly the reason why people's expectations go up when a popular or favorable series gets given a movie. However, movies tend to be in a much more grand level, and it generally takes difficult steps to achieve the things series can't. They're similar in how they tell tales of any kind of stories, achieving many things in the anime industry that cartoons and non-japanese animation can't and, of course, the fact that they're both animation. Movies are completely different from anime series, even if it doesn't seem like it on the surface. That was when I finally realized that movies don't really work that way. It's fun having a series you may love or like to get a movie, so I was naturally looking forward to some more Fairy Tail And now, the long-running popular shounen series finally gets its take on a movie. I'm not the biggest fan of the series, and granted that the series has lots of flaws which can be easily improved, but altogether the series is very entertaining, the characters are memorable and some arcs can be really fascinating. Let's not look at the score and assume so soon that I'm not fond with the series altogether I like Fairy Tail as a shounen series.
