That said, Fairy Tail has very disappointing animation and pacing, so I really doubt it'll ever become a giant. It'll probably stop at 50 episodes or so. |

You can't get rich and famous with works like Naruto anymore. It needs more than the typical Shounen Jump formula. Fairy Tail would be a smash hit 10 years ago but it is nothing today. As for the "new Naruto champion" talking, that is hype that comes along with every new anime that comes along, no matter how good or bad it is. Most end up being less than half of what they were credited being, so don't believe too much what you hear about new series.

Isn't Fairy Tail like the 4th best selling "typical" shonen action manga atm? Only behind the big 3 of One Piece, Naruto and Bleach... I'm not counting FMA obviously but it outsells Kekkaishi, Torioko and Mago.. I've probably forgotten something.. either way it's far from being "nothing".

I mean most mangaka would waste a ton of time but Kishi jumped right into it, Which is why i think it was so unique and great in the first place. |

Actually I didn't think much of any anime or manga I've encountered...but I always wait a few arcs to see how it goes. Give it some time, it might surprise us all (but I don't really think it will).

Oh I forgot D.Gray Man, that's another that is much more popular than Fairy Tail.

& it's unique for having an emotional start from the beginning? I've seen that done plenty of times, and even before Naruto's time. It's nothing new.

Anyway, to answer your question, try DeviantArt. There's also Pixiv, but setting up an account is a bit tricky. There are guides for it online though. |

First off your comparison of Bleach and FMA is silly since FMA is a monthly manga and has far less volumes released than the weekly manga Bleach, it's commonly known that FMA is only second to One Piece when it comes to shounen manga popularity.
And when it comes to smash hits (you know the term you used!) quality doesn't matter, it's how well it sells. For instance I can think Wii Fit is a pos video game but there's no denying it's a smash hit based on how many copies it has sold. Smash Hit =! Critics hit! |

I just think fairy tail is weekly shonen magazine's attempt to imitate jump's huge success with one piece/bleach/naruto since they haven't had any major success with most of their other works recently. As seen from the top ten list Fairy Tail is their only series which managed to get in the top ten. |

Bleach started out rather cult, with every week focusing on how much gore to use when killing hideous monsters...but it somehow degenerated into what it is today

This. I'd have to say that FT has just as much or more action than any other manga that I've ever read, including Rave, and yet they cut any possible action there is, down and make it less than what it is. Even though there isn't much of it yet at this point.
