A wordless chapter? Well, the art's good as usual, but I get bored from these types of chapters.
Fairy Tail Discussion III

What made Mashima decide to spring the silent chap? Pretty random but I do love silent comics when done right and FT seems to be a bit better this way but maybe it was the change of pace and focus on Gildartz.
People thought the last chap was out of place but this seems like he had this chap on the back burner and released it now.
-
Can't imagine where Mashima got the idea for this chapter … I was almost expecting Gildarts to say "You are ... Obito" at the end just to put some dialogue in the chapter

@Zik:

I haven't been reading it the series since I dropped it, but this was a silent chap?
I guess Mashima is really one of those guys that copies what he sees as cool in the JUMP to surge his own popularity.
I remember around the time when Hancock revealed her ability in OP, Everygreen revealed a "mesuda" ability as well a chapter later.Often I try call coincidence on these things, but it was certainly not the first time. If one reads alot of JUMP series, I think it would be more obvious that the sublty guy rips alot of stuff off.
-
This happening at the same time as the Naruto silent chapter is a coincidence, at least, since production schedules mean that he wouldn't have had a clue of its existence before he wrote this chapter.
For some reason, I found this chapter charming. Might be because after last week's abomination, anything else would seem pretty great.

Generally speaking, doesn't it take at least a couple of weeks (if not a month) from the time when a chapter is made to the time that it is released in its magazine? I don't think he would have known about the Naruto chapter when he drew this.

Mashima's work ethic disagrees.

I don't think you can flaunt the guy's work ethic. The dude put out 3 color chapters in a row in one week. Say what you want about the story, but Mashima is the anti-thesis of Togashi.
-
That's what I'm saying though. What's stopping the guy from drawing filler chapters in-between publish date chapters? He can already dish out so much in a single week.
-
I remember hearing in a interview that it takes him 3 days to finish a chapter. 1 day for the story board, 2nd day to draw the chapter, 3rd day assistants work on backgrounds and other stuff.

Now if only his story was as amazing as his work ethic.

Jump rankings are about 7 weeks behind so the mangaka's are usually about 6-7 weeks ahead when any chapter comes out. I don't know if this is the standard for every other magazine but its impossible to lineup something like that within that timeframe.

Well I don't read A LOT of JUMP but when I saw the silent chap the first thing I thought of was when Marvel did it across their whole line a few years ago. I'm not reading any JUMP manga that have done it so it didn't strike me as him ripping off anyone or group. Silent issues is something that belongs to the entire medium.
-
I know that. I'm just assuming since the timing is coicidental. It's safe to do so since no one really knows.
And oh. Checked the chap. It's really zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Want a real silent story?

http://www.ryan-a.com/comics/nothing-is-forgotten-chapter-1.htmThank you. That was amazing.

So what was down there!??!!? aghhh
-
What exactly was he looking at?
-
Ryan Andrews is good.
Too good for a Fairy Tail thread if you ask me.
-
I remember when FT was at it's best.
Then BAM!
Hades is defeated by DES.
-
Fairy tail lost it for me when Jellal got reintroduced in the Oarcion arc. I was like, dude, NO, not that guy again.

Aren't chapters made like three or four weeks in advance?
-
Well there was the Oaricon Seis member who was so much like Kuma there's no way that wasn't copied.

Read the previous page. I know that.
Infact, forget everything I said. I already have enough problems putting up with this thread as it is. -

Top left guy.
-
hoteye might have a similar appearance but personality and powers are nothing alike. Just because he is big and carries a book doesn't mean he's a kuma clone.
-
I'm not saying he's a clone, but the design is obviously Kuma based.
-
im remember that i like fairy tail, but than that pleural dimension saga showed up and than i say "f$%k off"

It's fine.
It's just…
I don't like answering questions. And.
It would probally kill me to say something without people getting defensive(I was assuming and not stating things as fact afterall). -
Started watching. I
m almost done with the Galuna Island arc. Honestly, the only reason I
m still watching this is to find out with key Lucy gets and what Laxus/Mystogan`s powers are(and Chapter 284). -
And get's better on a certain saga, then the saga ending destroy's the whole point.
-
Gildartz destroys things accidentally all the time apparently.
Remember how when he was first introduced, walking back to Fairy Tail HQ, and the town literally rearranged itself so he didn't just plow through everything carelessly?
And then he did anyway? That's what this is about.Ah, okay then. All I remembered was that he had the power of pixelating things, so I felt it was pretty weird.
Chapter was actually decent; just goes to show that Mashima doesn't have to resort to the cheap fanservice to appease people, character fanservice will do.
-
HAHA A Chapter with no words, wonder what came first Naruto or Fairy Tail chapter? Both had chapters without words freakin weird.
-
It's been done.
Naruto's done it, Hunter X Hunter's done it,
Fairy Tail isn't the first to do it and it definitely won't be the last. -
Listen, I like Gildartz as much as the next guy. I enjoy a side story every now and then… possibly AFTER a long and COMPLETED story line...
But it's freakin' insane that now that we've actually reached the point of intrigue after countless (pointless?) battles that we divert from the main story for fan service and to check in on a character that isn't doing anything important!It seems to me like maybe Hiro didn't plan ahead, reached a block, and said... "Shit! Maybe I can stall them!"
-
I think at this point its best not to expect a masterpiece and just enjoy it for what it is.
-
He made filler for his 300th chapter.
-
Not sure what you mean by that - the 300th chapter isn't out yet.
-

Doesn't he mean "to get to" 300 ?

Chapter 300 should also be the start of a new volume, too.

Oh, okay - I misunderstood. I'm not going to deny that; there were definitely better ways that he could have handled this.
-
Doubt it's going to have some real deaths in the Fairy Tail guild. But if it's indeed have, I hope for Jet and Droy
Levi was really affected for whatever happened in the flashfoward, and she talked that like if someone really close to her have died. I don't want it to be Gajeel, he's awesome and is already always being trolled, the poor guy. Besides, the shadow gear got a good amount of screentime after the timeskip, but they keep being useless, so that would give them a bigger meaning to the series.
-
I hope the 300 was worth this fillers chapter.(never thinks I would find filler in a manga)
-
Chapter 300 is out
! RIP Lector :(
RIP Sabertooth's leader
Sabertooth's leader's daughter is up to no good
Listening to dragon's souls seems kinda… oh well it's Fairy Tail... should be used to convenient powerups
At least everything is supposed to be connected it seems..
! RIP Lector :(:(:(:(:( -
Yeah im sorry
! no way that cat is dead, I bet someone just made him disappear right before the attack hit with magic or something.
! Cue some chapters later where Lecter appears in front of Natsu and co just fine and saying that sabertooth is acting weird and they need to save Sting. -
Well then.
! Bah, even if the mysterious girl's identity isn't so mysterious, the stalling of the reveal itself is such a cocktease.
! Lector was a twit, so I don't care that he's gone. Jemma was a grade-A douchebag, so I don't care that he's gone either.
… okay his fate was a little anti-climactic, and Lector was still a twit so I have a hard time feeling anything for Sting, but it was pure karma in action, and at least it makes sense with Dragon Slayers becoming more powerful when under the influence of strong emotions.
! Wonder what Minerva plans to do?Colorspread was incredibly weak for the big 300, which is unusual for Mashima. He usually does much, much more than Kubo-level with them.

You pretty much said everything I had planned on saying lol. :ninja:
-
! The beginning of the chapter greatly upset me.
! 297 he ends with a serious cliffhanger then goes on for 2 weeks of filler. Then comes back and and doesn't even reveal her. -
Pretty sure Lector was just warped away by Minerva so that Sting would go ballistic and kill her father. Sneaky.
Rest of the chapter was okay. Still stalling for the reveal, but I'm still convinced it's Layla at this point.
