People have their fandoms, this just happens to be one of the more common ones.
Is there something wrong with it?

Consider the fact that it's a fandom that can't leave a computer screen a little pet peeve of mine.
Aaand since I'm here, the only anime I've truly watched was....11 years ago, so Digimon it is.

I respect your opinion. Now here's mine:
Quote from Raptor
Fairy Tail is by far the most overrated Manga/Anime I have ever seen. The characters are so shallow; Natsu revolves only around the concept of "I must save my friends! Friendship is good! Evil must be destroyed!" Grey's character only goes as far as to just tag along with Natsu and just defeat the opponents. Erza, outside of that one arc where she had her flashback, has always been a mentor character and nothing more. She's always been there, just helping out whenever she needs to. Lluvia is just in love with Grey and that's as far as her character develops. I could go on. I'd also like to mention that not only are these characters shallow, they are far from dynamic. From the 300 chapters that have been released, barely any of the characters seemed to have changed in the slightest bit.
The plots are insanely redundant. A good chunk of them all seem to revolve around Lucy (and when its her time to shine in these arcs, she does NOTHING) and when they aren't, it just happens to be some random looming threat and they just send in a couple of guild members with maybe +1 more character that's from an outside guild, and that's the extent of it. The Laxus arc was the only one I particularly enjoyed. The Edolas arc was also a neat idea, but I thought it was boring as it dragged on.
To add insult to injury, the most recently finished arc (the one with the dragons 'n shit) ended poorly. Some say it ended well, but anyone who's ever read Rave knows that the author is just repeating an idea that he got from his previous manga. Sure its nice for new readers, but to those that read Rave it seems more like a low effort way to end the arc. Plus it ended so randomly. Since when did that mage know how to reverse time? How was such a major power never explained before? Not only was this idea recycled from his previous manga, it was executed waaaaaaay better in Rave. In Fairy Tail, it was done sloppily.
And did anyone notice that everyone in this manga seems to be freaking immortal? Why is it that nobody dies in this manga? Right when its reaching the climax of a story and a character is in the brink of death, whether he/she is a major or minor character, he/she always appears to die, but then turns out to be perfectly fine for some random reason, which completely kills the mood of the story.
300 chapters in, the story still feels like no progress has been made. Here, I'm referencing the status of Natsu's dragon. I feel like each new arc is drawing farther and farther away from the main story.

I know I have more to say, but I can't think of anything else in the moment.

Cowboy Bebop. I definitely don't mind watching the English-dubbed version of the anime, it's very well done.

My favorite anime of all time was cowboy bebop. hands down, no contest, period.
And then there's Toradora in second. I like that anime way too much for my own good.

Yeah Mangas are more advanced than the animes, the only bad thing is that the mangas are too short.
