Most of his characters actually have interesting backstories that fit the characters well. Gray, Erza, Natsu and Lucy's origins were well done, it's just as time goes on they get less and less interesting.
Fairy Taint Discussion II

Once Fairy Tail got to Phantom Lord I thought for sure that we'd be seeing more FT members in action because of the screentime Elfman got and so far that's the only fight that Elfman has won which really pisses me off. In this upcoming magic games arc it looks like we may see more of Jet and Droy (which I liked their older character designs their 7 year later designs suck IMO)
-
I don't know… Considering Edolas Shadow Gear is the most powerful team, that means that Earthland Shadow Gear is probably the weakest, with Levy being the obvious exception, but that's probably due to Levy being one of the smartest characters in Fairy Tail, along with Makarov and Fried. Jet's abilities are speed based, and we've only seen one move so far, called God Leg, which is a high speed kick. Droy's are plant based, and it would seem Laki and her Wood Make is more powerful.
Personally, I'd like to see Alzack. Although he lost easily to Fried 7 years ago, I'm sure his Guns Magic has gotten fairly powerful. His card did say he was the most powerful mage before the veterans returned.
-
Jet and Droy are currently training with the Tenroujima team so who knows they might get better and even become powerful wizards. Speed magic and Plant magic could be bad ass especially if the two would work as a team.

Elfman loses all the time
His role is to job -
What is wrong with you Mashima

This doesn't inspire much confidence.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fairy_tail/v25/c262/4.html Oh no. Pointless side quest vibes here.

I thought the chapter was great. It's nice to see the Stellar Spirit King again, the character interaction was great, and all in all, it was really funny. I like how he toyed with things that have become basic genre conventions, like Dragon Ball's Room of Spirit and Time; besides, I fully expected that the Fairy Tail guild (or at least, Natsu's team) would be the underdog going into this.
-
Well, that's total crap. To be specific the last page is. God forbid, they'd actually work for getting stronger, but no. Most of the fights will probably be won by power of friendship again. The rest is actually kinda fun happy party times like the arc endings to One Piece. But that last page… ugh.
-
Well, hoping that the secret training Gajeel is doing will be worthy. And somehow I'm expecting more one or two chapters then BAM "3 months later…"
MASHIMA STOP READING THIS FORUM!
But man, what the heck.
-
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fairy_tail/v25/c262/20.html Well that was pointless and stupid.
So we've had a timeskip that resulted in nothing, a training arc that resulted in nothing ending with a timeskip that resulted in nothing, all in one sequence.
What ?

And what's worse, I actually saw this coming. I understand what happens in Mashima's head. I need help…
Maybe Mashima is the first to start a trend of pointless timeskips and in a few years he will enter the list of revolutionary mangaka.
You said this like one month ago and it's becoming true.
-
First page in and I can't bring myself to read the next page of this chapter. Congrats, Fairy Tail, you've become the first manga I've quit reading.
-
You know, this fucking sucks.
And you know why ? Not because it's stolen another 3 months of their lives, and for a bloody party, it's because the one time, the one time Natsu actually wants to naturaly develop his magic skills, he's not allowed, so once again any "growth" he has will come from random powerups, with his abilities remaining pretty much the same.

No, go on.
You have to witness the ending.

Also, in between arcs lasting more then 4 chapters ? Who needs them ! Now for an arc that takes 10 !
-
Mashima continuously outdoes himself with how pointless he can make the story.
-
The way this is going every person they know will die of old age while they stay the same.

I would so lol if Makarov died in the last 3 months.
And btw didn't their absence completely ruin their guild….again ?

I think this is an apropriate reaction
-
If you close your eyes on the first and last pages, this chapter is actually what Mashima does relatively good - fun character interactions. I mean, really, Juvia and Aquarius bonding due to their mutual hate of Lucy? That's fun.
But then
We trained for a day, we are strrrongerrr
And
Waste seven years, why not waste three months more
It's just like Mashima's goal is to penis slap every passable piece of fiction ever created.
-
Hm, yeah I don't think I'm gonna read FT anymore.
-
Well, the fun parts were funner than last chapter, which I found boring.. I guess that's something.
That final page…seriously, what was the point of that? You could've just made the party and still have the training time pass so it wouldn't be complete filler! -
…....what was that...i....
-
So everyone else got to train for 3 months except team natsu…......lol that's pretty funny
You would think Lucy would know something about the whole time disparity but I guess she hasn't actually lived in the spirit realm. -
Mashima is the only one I know of who can ruin a decent chapter in one page.
-
The end of the chapter had me LMAO
-
Oh my god is this disappointing…
-
Reminds me of Rainbow Road on Mario Kart
-
Reminds me of Kingdom hearts.
-
-
What .
-
never played it is it good?
Well i like the game, watch some vids on youtube and you will grasp how is the gameplay. The game envolves some Final Fantasy chars and Disney chars and some original ones.
-
This chapter in Fairy Tail:
HEY!!! LOOK OVER HERE! MAGIC BULLSHIT LETS HAVE SOME MORE FUN DURING TRAINING. SING!
LA LA LA
DOO DEE DOO
LET'S BE FRIENDS
LA LA LA
DOO DEE DOO
FUN NEVER ENDSAlso there's no training arc now. S U C K E R S . ____________________________________
I'm done with this shit series.

"Welcome back from your timeskip"
Proceeds to stop training and timeskip to the day of the festival
-
on a scale of one to fairytail how bad would you say this chapter was
-

16chars of Air Gear/10.

If Mashima wants to top this chapter the next one should just start with Fairy Tail celebrating having won the magic games.
-
Hiro trolled me so bad with this chapter. now he has regained my attention xD
-
you got to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the last page was like get stab in the head with a katana!!!!!!
and thanks a lot for the spoilers GJardim
-
Wow….Okay that sucks. Buuuut. Bright side means that since Gajeel and Panther Lilly weren't with them and were training they should be beasts now.
The one thing I liked was Aquarius bonding with Lluvia. I guess she sensed her waterness.
Yeah it does look almost exactly like the Kingdom Hearts level selection area. All it needs is a giant whale.

You're welcome :ninja:
Now thinking again, in this chapter we know that the Celestial Realm can be visited by humans, so there can be a "Save the Celestial Realm" arc any moment now. I'm not sure if it's a good thing…
-
My reactions throughout the chapter:
"The hell did this pointless side-quest come from?"
"Oh, it's just another party to waste some time. Fine but since when was the King dude such a nice guy?"
"I guess this isn't too bad."
"The fuck just happened!?!"
-
Hiro trolled me so bad with this chapter. now he has regained my attention xD
You're not alone, my friend :ninja:
-
I admit, this chapter was pretty funny.
In a stupid kind of way.
-
Well i thought this chapter was great, i haven't enjoyed a fairy tail chapter this much for a long time. I hope we get to see more of Lucy's older celestial beings, i forgot how much i loved the horse guy!
-
This chapter was hilarious. The last page had me in stitches.
Not sure if that's a good thing though.
-
the good thing is that no one saw this one coming, :D
