You know, I nearly did a double take when I watched the new opening and thought I saw Natsu spitting blood, but upon closer inspection it was just fire in that weird, CG style that they use for it.
Yeah, I was equally disappointed.
sigh I guess I have to face reality:
Arlong Park Forums: Where bitching is gospel and gospel is bitching.
Do what I do: Ignore them. The fact is, Fairy Tail is an amazing series that rarely disappoints. You always find people in this thread that bitch every week; they make it their hobby to find things not to like about it. People like you me FFA and GEPPETTOSMONSTER actually like the series, so that's why we post. And when people quote me trying to tell me how I'm wrong for liking a series, I ignore whatever useless material they try and come up with and look onward to those who actually like the series. Why these people do it I don't know, guess they have nothing better to do with their lives than to complain about things, but the fact is we like it and will continue to do so. So if you just post what you like about it, and ignore the people who hate on it, you'll find the conversation can be a lot more interesting.
For me it's rare that a FT chapter doesn't give me an "OH SHIT" moment each chapter, especially in this arc. I think I've had 7 so far… S-Class Trial Announcement, Natsu vs Gildartz, Zeref, Grimore Heart & the 7-Kin, Makarov at full size, Fairy Tail Master 2 Hades, and Luxus returning. Yep, that's 7 times I've freaked out in what, an arc that's only been 17 chapters so far? I say that's a pretty good run.
I hate these times of this thread when the haters and the lovers of the series go to war :/
Edit: I should note that I don't ignore criticism, if it's actually thought out, and most times I agree with said criticism. I'm speaking solely on the posters who'll say something along the lines of "Fairy tail sucks" or "is always a disappointment" or general hateful claims without providing reasons aside from choosing to dislike it.
