People have different taste in watching anime. For me it isnt the best but I love and adore it. It has negative and positive characteristics like an enemy just pop ups or friendship power can over power Strong enemies but me as I watch the anime i felt so attach to it. The characters made me cry and most of the time made me laugh. Some might say some character designs are copies but i dont really care that much. These anime is like 350 episodes and those episodes for me are special because it gave me trills and gave me time to love and understand the series. When i was in the middle of the series i watched critic videos and it almost stop me from watching it but I still continued because of my investment in the characters especially lucy and natsu. For me it is worth it to watch. If you dont like it just stop watching it but I can recomend it.
