Fairy Tail: the campaign for a new Toonami show begins!

So last week while I was chatting with my new friend Todd Haberkorn I asked him why his show Fairy Tail is not on Toonami. He said he didn't really know, but he does wish it were on. He said a little more, but I don't want to get into specifics lest I get him into trouble. So now I intend to start a campaign to get Fairy Tale on Toonami, let's raise the demand on Twitter #FairyTail.



For those who are not familiar with Fairy Tail, it's like if Dragon Ball Z, Bleach, Naruto and One Piece are the Big Four, Fairy Tail would make it the Big Five. It's a fun, goofy, fantasy adventure show about wizards. The world of Fairy Tail is a lot like a modern world, or almost modern with magic being used in place of technology in a lot of places, the end result is the same but wizards can make a decent living using unique magic skills. Most wizards join guilds and one of these guilds is the Fairy Tail guild. The story begins with a young wizard named Lucy who wants to join Fairy Tail. Lucy is a celestial wizard meaning that she comes from a special order that makes contracts with celestial spirits and summons them with magic keys. Lucy is a beginner with magic but finds her order stuffy and boring and wants to join Fairy Tail because they seem like more fun so she runs away from home with her magic keys and hopes to find a way in to the Fairy Tail guild. We find her in one town pursuing a wizard who she believesfits the bill and crosses paths with a stranger who seems to be looking for the same person. This stranger is named Natsu and he is traveling with a blue talking cat-like creature familar named Happy. They help Lucy out inadvertently and she repays them with lunch then gets in even more trouble and Natsu comes back to help her again. Natsu feels bad about taking advantage of her kindness at lunch because he had only helped her by accident the first time and isn't sure he deserved to be repaid, but he has the perfect way to repay her, he can help her join Fairy Tail because he happens to actually be a member himself. Natsu is a Dragon Slayer style wizard, one of only three known in the entire world. The style was named because it was first invented to slay dragons, but now that their number has diminished it ironically is used by dragons to make their human friends more able to tolerate the potentially harsh conditions of living in their presence. It involves three powers, Dragon Skin that makes one invulnerable to a particular element, Dragon Lungs which allows one to consume that element as if it were food, and Dragon Claws which allows that stored element to be released as a weapon, usually covering the hands to enhance natural punches etc. In Natsu's case his element is fire and he is looking for his adoptive father, a fire dragon who gave him his powers. Happy is an Exceed, a creature from another world that can sprout wings and extend his tail to carry objects when he flies, and also retract these appendages in a decidedly magical fashion. Soon Lucy gets to join the guild of her dreams and the three continue to take jobs from the board and explore the world!



I have only seen the first two episodes, I do not have the patiece to watch anime on a computer, I just keep feeling like I need to do something else on the computer and can't sit still for 22 minutes at a time. I want it on Toonami and I think I'm not the only one, if you want it, let's tweet #FairyTail on #Toonami all the way through the block, midnight to 3:30 AM!
