Recommended Content: To those who are not familiar with Fairy Tail , I'll clue you in. Fairy Tail is easily one of the most popular anime/manga currently available on the market… It's a series that revolves around the lives and travels of a group of young wizards from the Fairy Tail guild.

Highly Recommended Note : Although screencaps should only be considered an idea of what the disc looks like, click any capture in this review to expand the image to a full size .png. It would be easy to summarize Laggies , the new film by Seattle director Lynn Shelton, as being about a woman suffering from the same kind of arrested development as so many movie manchildren.
Skip It NOTE: The photos accompanying this review are taken from promotional materials and do not AT ALL reflect the quality of the Blu-ray under review.
