Fairy Tail (Seasons 1–8)

Fairy Tail (2009) is a fantasy anime series you can watch online on iFILM. Lucy, a young celestial mage, dreams of joining the rowdiest wizard guild in the kingdom of Fiore, and her path crosses with a fire-breathing dragon slayer named Natsu.

Seventeen-year-old Lucy Heartfilia summons spirits with golden keys and wants nothing more than a spot in the Fairy Tail guild. She gets her wish through Natsu Dragneel, a guy who gets motion sick on any vehicle yet torches his enemies with dragon flame. The crew around them is chaos: Happy, a flying cat who never shuts up; Gray, an ice mage who keeps stripping by accident; Erza, an armored knight nobody wants to anger; and the flirt Loke. Together they take jobs, level the occasional town by mistake, and pick fights with dark guilds and the Magic Council alike.

Adapted from Hiro Mashima's manga, the first run was directed by Shinji Ishihira and stretches across many seasons and hundreds of episodes, so it takes its time piling on brawls and gags. If you grew up on shonen about friendship, magic and scenery-smashing battles, it lands. Stream Fairy Tail online on iFILM.
