Ignoring the boobage that dominated the chapter for a second, anyone else think that the summon gate they built is for Alexander? Giant Castle… crumbling... needing a summoner... Mashima has been playing too much Final Fantasy.
Fairy Tail Discussion III
-
-
i actually really enjoyed this chapter. Despite the over-top fanservice (which i didn't mind ) it made me laugh through most of it
-
This chapter defined the one thing that is great about FT and that is fan-service. Really, this tournament is meaningless, since there is actually something sinister happening behind the scenes. And in the end, this tournament will probably be forgotten and the winner will get nothing out of it. So, anyways, great chap by FT standards.
-
Yep, this is Fairy Tail alright. Have a longer chapter than usual and fill it with a fanservice fight instead of making it an actual legitimate fight. To add to that said fanservice fight is Fairy Tail B's first victory in the tournament and technically a OHKO.
-
Does that girl in the movie have a baby phoenix?
-
my thoughts on this chapter
-
Just when I thought Fairy Tail couldn't get worse!
-
Pure class.
This chapter trumps every other manga this week.
Mashima at his finest.
-
Well, that was disappointing. I was hoping that, when Mirajane fought in this tournament, it would be against Erza. A match between two Fairy Tail members seems likely at this point, those two are among the strongest there, they have the whole former rivalry thing, and Mirajane hasn't really had a whole lot of fights to show how strong she is. The only funny things about this chapter is that they actually point out how nonsensical the supposed "rule" is, and the scoreboard which seems to serve absolutely no purpose. Also, Natsu's trollface on this page
-
I like how this chapter has extra pages and Mashima uses them for fanservice purposes. I would never expect anything less from him.
Anyway, this is really going to be a rescue arc… well, whatever. -
I was liking this arc, this chapter was awfull…
-
I think the gate need 12 zodiac key to be opened, so Lucy will complete her zodiac key set by the end of this arc lol.
-
Great fan service Mashima. You drew it well.
I mean even you don't like fansservice, you can't hate the chapter for because that sole part. I mean there was no bad storytelling. In this most recent chapter.
Why couldn't Elfman go lizardman at the start.
-
People have been waiting for a chapter like this to dump on fairy tail when the arc has been good so far. I know it wasn't a good chapter but it wasn't just fan service it was also humor
-
Awesome chapter. Dun know wat u guys r talkin bout.
-
I actually liked this chapter. It was more entertaining than the last couple chapters.
-

Yeah, the fan service was splendid.
-
I think by this point it's become difficult for me to respond strongly to a display such as this short of two characters actually doing each other right there on the cobblestone floor. Well, whatever, at least even the peanut gallery thought that this was dumb.
Charle continues to be a moron. It's like she actively wants Lucy to die or something.
-
having trouble putting into words how god awful this chapter was
about as bad as the timeskip and lightning flame dragon
-
FT must've dropped a bit in the ranking with the lack of fan service, so Hiro fixed that.
-
So did a bikini contest break out into a fight or did a fight turn into a bikini contest?
Also the key to fairy tail's success: make ridiculous bets.
-
NO FUN EVER, NOT HERE NEVER
…well, as a rule I don't think fanservice is all bad. But god, lol, Mashima sure couldn't keep it in his pants today.
Pretty terrible chapter.

Charle does a pretty good job of giving you reasons not to like her! And it's not like her previous premonition came true, for all its bluster. Bleeding hand on the floor, Natsu crying?
But yeah, she's stupid. -
This chapter was a bit wonky. Ignoring the fan service chunk of it, it was a meh, chapter. I was also a bit confused about the little diagram of who wasn't and was supposed to be kidnapped. I may been misreading it cause it looks like that fairy tail knew the bad guy was after Lucy…And yeah, Charlie is an idiot.
-

Sorry but 6~7 pages of just blatant fanservice followed up by some OHKO.
No deal buddy.

I like fan service as long as it isn't much.
This chapter had a lot of fan service, and I liked it. It was too much.
I don't know why, the fanservice didn't gripe me at all, compared to the Lucy vs Flare fight. Maybe it's because Flare's and Lucy's proportions are drawn weirdly most of the time. Mashima spent a lot of the chapter with it, but it was part of the plot so it wasn't that bad. But at the same time, it wasn't really that necessary.
Why do you people hate fanservice?
-
We hate it when it's excessive and in-your-face. We could've had an actual fight instead of…this. And what a way to follow up Elfman vs. Bacchus, huh?

I think most of us can agree that fanservice is fine if it doesn't go to over the top or just use it too much in one chapter you get annoyed by it.

Exactly, look at fucking Oda with Robin and Nami, he does it once in a while and its fine but Mashima fucking THROWS THE FUCKING BOOBS in your fucking face, he makes it vulgar and not enjoyable, Mashima is a retard, dude should just jerk off before writing the manga chapters or something so he doesn't have the necessity to throw crap like this every single chapter.
Oh and people saying this chapter was better then last week…

How much is too much for you then? the girl passing the entire chapter naked?
I'm starting to think FT fans read Fairy Tail because of Mashima writing is crap and repetitive, if you guys don't enjoy last week Elfman badassness(and finally someone besides the fucking main group doing anything) more than this crap of a chapter, I just don't believe those people care for the story at all.
I haven't been reading Kenishi for the exact same reason even though I actually enjou Kenishi story.

Elfman winning something is story?
Okay. Just checking. I didn't care for both chapters.
I read FT for ironic reasons(sock scene, coke, ect). Everything else does not matter to me. -

I read FT for ironic reasons(sock scene, coke, ect). Everything else does not matter to me.Lol its not story but he got some "development"(if we can call it that) new moves and got to do something…that 10x better then what happened this week, this was fanservice in a chapter not a chapter with fanservice.
I liked parts of last week chapter, I hate this one.
I read Fairy Tail for the same reason I read Bleach, even though I know its full of BS, I actually liked the series at some point and I'm going to see wtf comes out of it.
I don't care anyway, I was mainly pissed that some people were saying, they liked the chapter solelly because of the fanservice, I was more mad at that then the fanservice, I know Mashima will do this always.
-
Fanservice will only be too much when FT actually defeats the bad guy having Lucy, Erza, and every girl, stripping in front of him. Including Natsu on a dress.
-
Natsu in a dress is called Fan _Dis_service.
-
Disservice?
Fans are so picky. -
Natsu in a dress is called Fan _Dis_service.
Just get a character like Ivankov to Fairy Tail and make them girls for an entire arc, I'm sure Mashima can have fun with that.
-
What's in your face about this chapter? Its literally the same thing from the 20 odd color pages or covers Mashima does featuring females Almost every 10 chapters. If you say this is overt I shudder to think what you think about the actual over the top mangas out there.
It makes most of you seem like prudes when you take into account FT is basically scraping at the bare bones when it comes to fanservice. The stuff you see in a series like Negima,HSDK,Air Gear, or even Medaka Box makes this look like baby town frolic. Hell I could even go back to the early Bastard!!! chapters when it was more shonen and still think it beats out FT in any facet of fanservice.
If you think Mashima is that bad for this then you really must not be exposing yourself to one vanilla genre of manga.
Anyway I thought it was funny how Jenny subbed in for this contest and how shes gonna have to sub out now that she made that bet.

It was over the top, just not as bad as some of those, and it was just stupid, pointless and in the end there was no point to it since they fought anyways, it was a chapter based around soley giving people fan service for no apparent reason, it was stupid and one of the series worst chapters
but hey I guess if people like looking at manga character girls instead of real ones this would be a good series, I'll stick to real women when it comes to that

Just because it's annoying in Negima, HSDK, and Air Gear (and it is, when it's too much),
Doesn't mean it's not annoying in Fairy Tail (and it is, when it's too much).
Fan service isn't the devil, it's just stupid when it goes overboard.
When Miu is having a serious, life-or-death emotional moment, on the verge of emotional collapse because she's fearful for Kenichi's life, it's impossible to take the scene as seriously when her paper catsuit is in so many shreds it looks like someone took a cheese grater to it. Negima is practically Queen's Blade with pre-teens which makes the same thing even worse. Air Gear definitely doesn't need fanservice to be retarded, but it doesn't help. It's one thing to have a panty shot or a boob grab every once in a while but when the fetish outfits come out I just feel embarrassed for the characters. Maybe cos I'm a little older than the target audience, I can only roll my eyes a bit.
Manga doesn't have to be some super serious work of high art; certainly Fairy Tail isn't. I'm not holding it to some high standard.
But that doesn't mean I won't criticize it anyway. -
Thats the only reason im not wathing Fairy Tail anime.Everytime he uses a fire attack we get a cutscene like its in Final Fantasy 7-8-9 and someone summoned a eidolon,GF,big ass summon or something.Same shit with toriko too, he wants to knife someone we see a cutscene of a knife going thru a monster and it DOESNT get CUT. WTF.
While the fire CGI still remains, the "Final Fantasy-ish stock attack animation" has been dropped. They don't do that anymore.
-
Always strange that the people who take Fairy Tail most seriously are those who claim to be the least invested.
-
I… keep reading Fairy Tail because I just started it, and feel like I have to finish it (The same applies for Bleach and Naruto)... I had high expectations when I began reading, though. I really don't care at all for the story anymore. I feel everything it's just meh... Natsu always does his thing and wins... (God, I hate Saint Seiya :)). But yeah... I do really like the drawings, Mashima is a "great" artist.
-
Natsu in a dress is called Fan _Dis_service.
Unless you're into that sort of thing.

But that doesn't mean I won't criticize it anyway.I honestly don't mind the fanservice we've seen in this week's chapter at all, it's just I'd preffer Hiro to actualy spend his time making his series better and reading up on what he wrote before to not contradict himself.
-
I just want Mashima to draw the Dragon arc in FT and start a hentai manga. That way he can satisfy both fan groups.
-
I think we're more forgiving of HSDK and Negima (not Air Gear because that series is shit) because chapters have more going for them rather than badly done fan-service. In Negima, even in the most fanservicey of hot spring chapters, we still got plot progression and character development. With that said, we still hate it when it's overdone. I don't mind it when it's done in HSDK most of the time if the situation isn't serious but when it's inserted in a supposedly dramatic scene, yeah that's pretty bad.
Which is why I'll hate it if we get nothing but fanservice instead of what should have been a dramatic fight. "But it's supposed to be funny!!!" I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud but two woman showing off in bikini suits isn't funny. Not because of any moral qualms I might have, it's just not funny. It's silly and a waste of time and space.
-
Lol Fairy Tail. Congrats to Mashima to start realising his hentai carrier!
-
Nothing is wrong with fan service, but when it's done right and not thrown in your face. Thankfully FT has seemed to have toned it down a bit, though maybe after the recent arc in HSDK, I've just had the bar raised.
-
Oh and the "sacrifice 1 person's life to obtain something which we believe is "good", under our own, highly individual definition thereof" seems to ring a…..bell.......hmm........I got nothing.
-
With all these long and drawn out justifications of why there's nothing's wrong with fanservice makes me wonder…
Why don't ya'll say, "I'm a creepy ass pervert that likes seeing socially forbidden skin on socially attractive curved figures"?I won't judge.
I mean, I don't browse magizines filled with half naked attractive women and say,"there's nothing wrong with this" in my friend's and other people's faces.
-
Not really on topic with Fairytail, but still has to do with "fan disservice" and answers a curiosity of mine. Would Air Gear chapter 91 be considered "fan disservice"? Because it sure is painful, but might be entertaining to some…
(just finished reading air gear, saw this, decided to post)

I've only ever considered oiling the deck based on a manga character's picture exactly once, and even then I don't think I bothered. I just don't find regular manga panels titillating, regardless of how "sexy" they are.
