Anime : Fairy Tale Ep 1

In the fantasy land of Fiore, magic use is common and wizards generally do their business as part of Guilds. The Guild that Lucy, a Celestial Wizard (which means she uses keys to summon spirits to do her bidding, albeit ones that sometimes have a lot of ‘tude), dreams of joining is Fairy Tail, a Guild famous (some might say “notorious”) for its might and destructive power.
The character designs and overall artistic style, despite supposedly being toned down from the manga, parrots One Piece a little too much; yeah, the first episode is awash in common anime clichés. It is still a fun and energetic show, though, and that is enough to sell the first episode.

Instead she encounters a literal charmer who claims to be the Fairy Tail wizard Salamander and Natsu, a young man with horrendous motion sickness issues who travels with the cat-like Happy and just happens to turn out to be the real Salamander. Much mayhem ensues, and Lucy gets an invite to join the Guild for her part in it.
