fairy tail failed at plot and it's kinda too late. usually an author has his plot planned out. mashima just make shit up as he goes. and besides fanservice, all the other categories of the story fails.
Fairy Taint Discussion II

-
This has always interested me
How would you describe the premise of Fairy Tail from an overarching perspective so far?Also side note Heroes sucked from the beginning proud LOST fan waving his flag
-
I got tired of ragging on Fairy Tail honestly. Because well… I realised I haven't dropped it, unlike all the other bad manga I have dropped in the past. Bleach, Reborn, [title I won't dare say… it might cause a dumb debate or something], Naruto after the first 3 pages, other obscure titles you haven't heard of.
Not sure why. This series must be doing something right for something that's deemed terrible.
-
Same here. In addition to that I think I have some glimmer of hope in FT.
-
Like I said guess that's the allure of the manga.
I just keep reading cuz I've invested too much reading already. I'm seeing it to it's end like Reborn, Bleach, and Naruto unless there's an influx of new way better manga in the next few months.
I mean at this point it's something to past the time with while waiting for other manga to be upped or in between others.
-
If your waiting for bleach to end than your going to wait a looong ass time. I always thought the over arching plot in fairy tail was lucys journal entry's
Edit: I just looked at volume 29 raw and it seems that Mashima gave Wendy,Lucy,Grey and Erza all double page spreads for hades defeat and not just natsu like it was in the weekly release
-
I'm fine with Bleach taking long. I do go on breaks for bad manga. Plus I don't really care that much. If Bleach goes incredibly long eveutally there'll be an arc so awful even I'll have to stop reading.

Or maybe you just wanna see Gerard again ? :ninja:

You know, I don't mind world building or chapters focused on character interaction and fun, but someone needs to teach Mashima better storytelling.
Reader: Ok, back to the FT training arc. Whats that Lucy? You got stronger in a single day? Yes, I'm sure you'll catch up to a seven year head start in 3 months, it's not like the ohter participants will be traini-
Mashima: And then they all went off to the spirit world!
Reader: The fuck?
Mashima: What? I've never shown the spirit world before, it'll make for some interesting exposition, and showcase old characters!
Reader: Yeah, but it's pretty much out of the blue. Why couldn't a mini-arc like this have been inserted before the training?
Mashima: Oh don't worry, this is just an isolated party chapter!
Reader: So it's complete filler?
Mashima: Nono, it's totally relevant, it helps Lucy get over her fathers death!
Reader: …you already closed that plotline. 5 weeks ago.
Mashima:.........uhhh....
Reader: You just wanted to draw the girls in new outfits didn't you
Mashima: Thats it, partys over. TWIST! 3 months have passed, trainings over, tournament time!
Reader: WHAT?! You're telling me that even knowing the time difference, the spirits picked this, of all times to throw a party!? Capricorn was there last week! They know they were on fucking training camp! What the hell is this horseshi-
Mashima: TRAININGS OVER, TOURNAMENT TIME -
Mashima needs to cut the sappy moments down a notch. It gets tacky and tedious seeing a character weep all of a sudden due to a sudden trauma. (Yes I'm talking about Lucy.)

Honestly, the time she found out her dad was dead was pretty legitimate.
But then you had the fight with Kain which was goofy all throughout and then it suddenly turned to Lucy being pretty much tortured by Kain and trying to smile through all the blood and crap and it was so out of place.
-
@No:
Honestly, the time she found out her dad was dead was pretty legitimate.
I see what you mean, first time was okay I guess but when she burst into tears during her time in the Spirit World It was just straight up corny.
It's not like she had a secure attachment with her father in the first place.

Faiiirrrry Taaaaaaaaaail!

The best way to enjoy Fairy Tail is to read it the same way Mashima writes it. Without thinking.
-
Of course this training arc was going to fail. Gajeel's not in it.
-
I bet Gajeel is even more GAR now since he wasn't at the party.

He told Levy straight up she couldn't come with him on this one. That's a Man's training

i've been saying this for years
-
I've only realized that recently. It's still enjoyable though.
-
This post is deleted!
-
So, this little tournaments going to get won by friendship again eh? I feel like I'm reading Care Bears at times, wonder what would have happened if they entered a tournament? Still, there reactions was pretty funny at the end.
-
I can already hearthe keyboards furiously clicking.
Gerard? Time-arc ass-pull? No Gajeel?
I'm happy we got a little explanation of how magic works…
! I'm still secretly hoping for a Gerard x Erza ending.
-
So… Fairy Tail's still shitty as ever. Why did I even bother?
On another note, we're reaching 500 pages soon so that probably calls for a third thread. May I suggest for the new thread title to be - Fairy Taint -3: a discussion that is not a discussion?
-
This Gerard guy reminds me of Lelouch.
And I fuckin' hate Lelouch.
-
Heard about this Lelouch guy from Code Geass, anybody who's actually watched the anime mind telling me what he's like?
-
The time arc thing was a bit of an ass-pull, but beyond that, the chapter was pretty good. I never figured that they'd kill off Gerard in the first place, so him having broken out of jail would be the only real option. Plus, Natsu's reaction to the time arc explanation was hilarious.
-
Oh, cool. Magic got explained a little and even the time-arc stuff isn't that bad considering 7 years passed and Ultear obviously could have gotten better during that time, but both, the power-up and explanation, are still sort of too convenient. I wouldn't have a problem with that if magic would have been explained earlier in the series, but hey, this is pretty much all that can be done at this point.
I don't like Gerard, but in this chapter he wasn't that obnoxious. Honestly, good chapter. -

–- Update From New Post Merge ---
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fairy_tail/v25/c263/12.html …......
I'm sorry.
I need to go commit mass homicide.
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fairy_tail/v25/c263/16.html 1. Classy
and 2 if its not officialy registered, it's a dark guild, plain and simple. -
… in short: ass pull.
p.s, where do I find the original hentai version of this manga? :ninja: -
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fairy_tail/v25/c263/17.html Yeah, sign up one of three wanted criminals in the bigest event of the year, with several other guilds, the council and numerous hundreds of onlookers looking.
THAT makes sense.
-
The panel with Gerlad's new guild symbol is even funnier if you imagine Ultear just randomly striped down. Then before anyone questions it, she bribes them into silence with her new power up offer.
Really, it's too funny that Mashima could've easily cropped that panel, but didn't. I'm glad I read this chapter, it's funny in a few of the wrong ways.
Also, is it weird that I don't even notice Gerald? I find his character completely overshadowed by the exposition he's giving out.
-
Not bad chapter but power up is really too convenient/cheap way so they can skip training.
Liked the girl face in the back of that raven tail panel.
Saberthooth designs a still feel dull. -
Oh for fucks sake…. I raged hard at the whole chapter.
The asspulls start dropping in the fucking second this pathetic excuse of an antihero enters the scene.
And of course the tournament has a sinister and hidden purpose. And Raven Tail did nothing but jerk off all these years?! -
I like how all of the characters problems always get solved in one chapter now.

I like how all of the characters problems always get solved in one chapter now.
I also like how all the guys that actualy did train aren't gonna be alowed to do shit and are gonna job to fodder in the first round now.

lol @ the top right panel.
–----------------------------------------------
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/96807810/14
lol, sounds like Ultear's been reading rurouni kenshin.
-
I am still reading but just dropping in to say LOL Gerard! Who would've guessed…
-
I wish I had a dormant potential rage container inside of me that isn't normally used that I could pour out on this Fairy Tail chapter.
But after the last chapter I am left emptied.
-
Yes it was inevitable, Gerard and two new sets of tits.
-
Gerard appears and brings the Flame of time powerup.
-
Fairy Tail, the only manga where the best fighters made it to that position without any training.
i've been saying this for years
Agreed, if you try to read it in any other way you would have stopped ages ago. It's the only way and reason that I can still read it.
-
I liked this chapter
-
Well maybe that DORMENT thing is the explanation for the whole "use tomorrows magic" back in the edolas arc.
But otherwise, it feels like Hiro is purposely trolling us. First he has a time skip that the whole world gets stronger, but fairy tail doesn't. Then they go to train, but they party and it gets skipped instaed, and now ultear comes and magically doubles their magic power or whatever this is going to do.
Its like he is going "they going to age, ha gotcha, they same as before" "they going to train, Ha gotcha, they partied for 3 months instead" "they going to be weak now in tournament, Ha gotcha Ultear gives them powerup" Its like one week he ends with us all expecting something and then to do a complete 180 the very next week.
-
My goodness.
Even Hinscher hates this chapter.
-
I liked this chapter
Gerard has mellowed out and apparently Erza still senses evil in him.
Everything makes a bit more sense now
Magic is inside your body and in the atmosphere
When you use up one supply the atmosphere replenishes you. So now their basically increasing the amount of magical power they can contain by forced evolution. -
Next chapter the tournament gets delayed a year. Another troll from Mashima.
-
I liked the page with raven tail
-
Are we done with trolling the cast? May we perchance be done with that?
…blah blah guid check-in, Raven Tail guy with Venetian mask face, blah blah, Jellal the fugitive, Ultear one ups herself on the tacky outfit front, blah blah, return of Elder Guru's ''true potential'' extraction...
Never mind, the audience is still being trolled.

Bottom left panel, finally I agree with Natsu…
Did we just get fan service, and Gerard appearance, a power-up instead of training, and fan service all in one chapter? That check list is getting a lot of exercise...
Anyway, Ultear has time magic right? If Mashima wanted to salvage the three months at all, make Ultear create a hyperbolic time chamber or something...nope, here is an extra bottle for magic, like in the viddie games!
