Fairy Tail Discussion III

…. I see. cool. o.O

-
Nice ascii Zoidberg!!
-
Shit is getting confusing.
-
Yeah, time travel always does that. Combine it with subpar translations and…well, it aint helping.
But this could potentially be the most interesting thing to happen in Fairy Tail ever.Though for the time being, the castle hijinks and tournament continues to bore. Sabretooth chick is written so badly that it hurts.
-
So nobody hardly believed in dragons, yet now we have 10 thousand of them invading the country?
I can see them turning out to be fodders.
-
Minerva is so dull, her entire character just comes down to "Blah blah I'm evil, I kill puppies, I torture cats, I'm a dick, I hope you don't get mad Erza"
And does anyone else remember when Juvia was cool? -

And does anyone else remember when Juvia was cool?I guess it was before Leon showing up again, or that girl. Then she became "GRAY-SAMA" full time.

Okay…..how is publicly admiting to intentionaly torturing your opponent not something worth disqualifying over ?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
This is the WORST tournament ever. They have no way to tell if someone is cheating, they don't care if you torture other opponents.
I mean they don't even have the excuse of sinister ulterior motives anymore !

Oh god please no. Not after the major ass-kicking acnologia did. I want to see powerful dragons.
-
If it takes 10000 dragons to destroy one city, you can bet any individual dragon wont be that impressive.

"That's the way of a true mage" - Minerva
I can't see her totally saying that, which doesn't mean it's something good.Also, they just don't care appearently.
-
This is starting to remind me of recent One Piece with how everything keeps jumping all around.
-
I thought the chapter was good. I really don't get Minerva's plan - at this point, it seems like:
- piss off the strongest people in the tournament (whether they're on her team or not doesn't matter)
- ???
- victory!
She claimed to understand that powerful feelings make a mage stronger in this setting, but she immediately goes out of her way to target the weakest members of each team and brag about it in front of the strongest ones. However, Gazille finally said what we've all been thinking (that Rogue is way out of his league here), Jura, Gray, and Lyon did more or less what I expected, and the spread with the dragons was cool. I figured that the Dragon King festival had to do with Acnologia showing up, but maybe that will come later - he seems to get stronger by killing dragons, and when there's ten thousand of them in one place, it would be easy pickings for him.

Don't even dare, they are miles away from being in the same league.
-
My criticisms are not exclusive.
-
No idea about the mangareader version- probably courtesy of mangapanda- since I tend to wait for the mangastream one. That being said it was a good chapter… during the last few pages, that is. The first few panels bored the hell out of me but once the talk switched to dragons, my interest grew. And not just one, but 10,000 beasts at once.
Let's see what you've got up your sleeve, Mashima. -
Don't even dare, they are miles away from being in the same league.
Except is true that Punk Hazard jumped around a lot, similar to what we're experiencing here in FT.
Just that Punk Hazard was much better to read than this.

Punk Hazard didn't had a Minerva as villain.
Anyway, I still try to understand why the heck would the dragons just attack. Is it related to that date (7/7/xxx7 or something)? Or that feast thing that the dragon mentioned to them? And 10 thousand dragons are just too much for people go around saying "dragons aren't real/they are extinct". I just… sigh...

I assumed it had to do with the date. Since he's called out to it before. Their dragons went missing with a similar pattern, and get uselessly shoved through a time skip to the year this event is happening. Has to be the date.

Don't be such a Piece Tard that you can't accept that what he said is true. It has nothing to do with the quality here. He just said that both arcs have been jumping back and forth like crazy, which is very true.

If that's the case then yes.
But as far as writing is concerned, Caesar would have to reveal he's Laws brother or something :P

"Law, you must be wondering why I'm actually trusting you so much… I'll say the reason: when you were born, your mother died and your father abandoned you. Then you ended on an orphanate and after growing up decided to take care of yourself, after all you were alone. How I know all this? I'm sorry, for begin your brother I was never by your side, but now it's different, I'll make things different, give me a chance! starts crying"
:ninja: -
And does anyone else remember when Juvia was cool?
Well, I remember when she was more or less the water Logia of Fairy Tail. Good going, making a character with powerful magic like that resort to the most girly-looking slugfest you can ever have.
Otherwise, I don't really know how good the current plot is. Not awful, but not really well-written either. I just know it's dragging out. It's been like, 15 chapters since the final day of the Games started, right? I hope Laxus vs. Orga vs. Jura turns out to be interesting, though I have a feeling it won't be as long as Erza vs. Kagura and Minerva since none of the three guys have boobs and asses you can show off.
-
Oh a bit of a prediction: future Lucy isn't actualy the person the Princess was talking to before. Just seems like the kinda thing Hiro would do.

:ninja:That sounds like something Jabura would make up :ninja:
-
Well since Erza has now pretty much won the fight….What next?
Dragons? Werid...
-
Holy Shit Good chapter all the way!
-
Dragons next? Finally!! Hiro, do this arc well or I'm writing this series off, for a good.
-
Just started watching this show about a week ago and it's not too bad. I'm on episode 28 I think? Just need to check which episodes are filler still though.

Its really good up until halfway in the current arc but its a really good series

I would not want Caesar even loosely related to me.

Oh please for the love of God read the manga instead!! It's so much better than the animated version.
Natsu's fire effects look cheap and terrible, magic circles came out of nowhere, the fight scenes look cheap and punches wouldn't connect, the blood is censored (making scenes like Gray grabbing Erza's sword silly) and everyone was given really long animations before they used their magic that was recycled every episode. The worst example is erza, the whole point of her magic is so she could swap armours really quickly but in the anime they gave her a freakin' Sailor Moon transformation that lasted a good minute.
Honestly do yourself a favour and read the Fairy Tail manga, you'll be doing yourself a huge favour.
-
But the fillers are something else, some of them are better than anything Mashima could came up with. Watch them atleast.
-
I liked the anime n the fire effects looked unique n original

How far did you even watch the anime? The magic circle thing has been toned down quite a bit these days, and the repeated animations haven't been used since the early 20's, and we're in the 100's now. The lack of blood is a bit annoying at times, but there's been a few cases where they showed a little blood such as in the Asuma fight (more like censored blood, but whatever).
The music and voice acting in the anime is good. The manga is still better, but the fillers in the anime aren't too bad in my opinion.

I think they'd be called Death Pies. With a white foam on the top.

Fairy Tail's first two filler episodes, the body swap and the ''rival'' episodes were some of the funniest material I've seen come out of this series. All the filler that comes after it tended to be hit or miss, but it did give the secondary and tertiary characters some limelight if you don't mind the peanut gallery.

What's the thing under tertiary ? Cause that's how I'd describe the kid we got who'se name might be Romero but I don't recall and don't realy care.
-
I remember the body swap one but what was the rival one?

Everyone drinks a potion and randomly choses a "rival" in extremely dramatic shounen style.
Erza's rival was a pillar.
-
Next week, Fairy Tail gives us double page spreads of each battle ending with its strongest attacks. SO UNIQUE.

That would be even dumber than random fodder villains getting OTKed. Yes, I did just use a Yu-Gi-Oh reference here for Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail is not cool enough for it, either.
But in all seriousness, I will be pissed if all these built up villains get the Sting/Rogue treatment and the Memory Make guy.
Oh wait, ROGUE is one of the participants. Fuck.
-
Well the chapter is titled "Frog"
-
The cognitive dissonance that would be on display would surely be glorious.
-

Oh, I bet it'll be about that annoying frog cat. Wonderful.
-
The ending was good. The dragons sure are interesting but knowing Mashima this would all go downhill.
That guy knows how to hype it up but doesn't know how to wrap it up. -

One of these is not like the other!
Yes, the last arc of One Piece has been jumping all over the place, but there is a big fat difference, it has only worked to increase the hype and momentum. I still remember when I thought the islands was just going to be a couple of chapters and Luffy becoming friends with a dragon.
Fairy Tail on the other hand decided to masterfully waste our time with "the assassination corps" and it's try to up the ante has been retarded princess, future Lucy (which cries all the time of course), more bullshit from Natsu and finally making dragons not seem that scary when 10.000 are supposedly going to come out of nowhere (this is the equivalent of a child saying his drawing is better times a million) when just saying Arcnologia is coming to town would have been a lot more threatening for me since I KNOW what Arcnologia can do and has done (he actually managed to beat friendship!)
Also, I was one of the guys that almost got castrated for saying he didn't like the Zorro vs Monet fight and I quite like other series aside from One Piece, so shove your name calling some other place thank you very much.
Also, I still remember when Juvia was cool and miss it so damn much…

Again, and let me repeat myself, that is the only thing Crossword said. He said nothing about actual writing quality, which you keep bringing up here. We know, but give it a rest already.
I did not call you a Piece Tard. I said, "Don't be such a Piece Tard". There's a difference with a mix of sarcasm and joking in there.
