I've been watching the Fairy Tail anime, and I'm noticing a large number of nautical references, from the logo, to the music, and others that have slipped my mind.
The logo itself features the tops of the letters forming a wave-like pattern and the top of the "T" resembling an anchor as well as the final "L" has a tail that appears to be in the shape of a fish hook. This hook shape also appears in the guilds logo along with a harpoon.
As for music, I cannot help but hear the repetition of the Can-Can music as well as once what sounded like Land of Hope and Glory.
If anyone has any information on why there is the inclusion of such things I would graciously appreciate it. I may however be hallucinating in which case I'm sorry to have wasted your time
