Fairy Tail anime series

Fairy Tail is among the many hugely popular and never ending sci-fi animes. The description of this anime is that it follows Lucy (a beginner celestial wizard) on her journey with the guild Fairy Tail. However the anime itself doesn't really closely follow Lucy at all. Many episodes and many fillers fail to exaggerate Lucy's presence.

Many events/plots are such that individual brawls take place, each taking nearly an episodes length. Obviously the outcome slightly favours the side of Fairy Tail. The major backstories are fairly vague and take a long time to progress (usually by tiny snippets at the end of each episode).

Having said that, the first few plot changes were quite enjoyable as more team members were recruited. But as it continued onwards, it soon got repetitive. Only plot progressing segments were enjoyable for me. Let it be clear that I watched towards the start of season 2 before I gave in.

Marvels TV series

There are so many new shows being pumped out by Marvel. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Arrow, The Flash, Daredevil, etc. What's interesting is that some of these are in the same universe. It is quite worth while to watch both Arrow and Flash at the same time as they overlap at some point.

Half of these are not supernatural so if you don't enjoy Sci-fi as much, the action and storyline are all quite intense. Although in some aspects, all these vigilante-hero type genres have stereotypical resolutions.
