Fairy Tail is good, dumb fun (emphasis on dumb), at least as far as I've seen. I'm afraid it wouldn't fare too well on Toonami. I could see lots of people complaining about another generic long-running shonen, and Fairy Tail seems to have a reputation for being a Cliché Storm on top of everything else.
I'd like to be the first man on the moon.It'd probably fare decently. I wouldn't expect it to do significantly worse than Naruto or One Piece, which I'd say are probably the most similar series to it on the current block, but its length and the Cliché Storm accusations Maestro mentioned, plus the usual trappings of a shonen series, would likely work against it in some capacity.

"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarI know his name is Ging, but all I'm hearing right now is "Gene."
"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarWhich sounds better: Samurai X Samurai or Hunter Champloo?
"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarAt least it doesn't quite seem to be at Naruto levels of Schizo Tech.
@ slim: To play devil's advocate, it certainly wouldn't be the first time we had a popular show of hotly contested quality on Toonami.

"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarSo Ging is voiced by Marc Diraison. I bet a lot are disappointed they didn't keep the Casting Gag of the original and have Justin Cook voice him (though that likely wasn't going to happen anyway).
@X 2 X Heh, touché.
Also oh my God I remember this arc. Its a filler arc but the bubble main is actually the container for the 6-Tails.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Oh god, is this a Filler Arc? NOOOO
Samurai X Samurai sounds better to me.

I've only seen the first few episodes of Fairy Tail, but it seems endearing.
That's right, boys. Mondo cool.
