I think it's his excuse to power up the characters. They were probably training during those 7 years whilst "frozen in time". So they could take on those other 2 dark guilds..
But yea, unnecessary timeskip.
Fairy Taint Discussion II

"Oh no, we've completely exhausted all our magic and the situation is bleak and hopeless… no wait, we'll just us our magic for tomorrow. With absolutely no ill side effects or consequences. "

I thought you quit this manga. How do you know about the magic of tomorrow powerups?
-

I quit at chapter 200. They used that bullshit to end the arc before that.

FAIRY TAINT!!!
Dammit!! how come I never thought of that?
What's all the activity about I never saw a new chap…. OHHHHH SHIT!!!! Wait wait. looks at spoilers
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! What the fuck is this?
So lemme get this straight.... the remaining members of the guild have to go through 7 LONNNNNNG YEARS of misery, heartbreak, and emotional problems at the loss of their close friends and the degradation of their lives... just to have the cast come back... like nothing fucking happened. CAUSE NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED!! Like, was this "timeskip" out of necessity? So they could plausibly get away from the Apoco-Dragon or whatever?
Yeah... this is pretty fucking bad. No fucking tension or suspense... and really, nothing gained. Luxus arc and Edoras was WASTED potential, this is just FUCKING BAAAAAAAD.
Ho man.... and the rest of the cast. It's like Mashima's secret goal of this series to rain as much shit as POSSIBLE on Jet and Droy! HAH
-
Yeah, I think by this point the manga's more than earned a thread title change.
Gonna be some grade-A laffs in here before long.
-
I'm literally anticipating the next chapter for the comedy. This is fake-Karakura town arc material here. Just a different dimension.
It cracks me the fuck up!
-
Being now in a row with Naruto and Bleach..what a success.
-
If anything, they should have just went ahead and told the story from the main cast's perspective. Show the main cast arrive and be like "Oh shit what happened here?" Would have been good… er, marginally better... uh, not suck as hard imo.
-
At this rate this thread eventually really will be merged with the Naruto/Bleach one.
Still not sure how confusing that would be, but… maybe we can test it out for a week after this thread hits 10,000 posts.

For anyone who cares, Volume 15 ranked #6. Side note: I think this is the first list I've seen where none of the big three were listed (could be wrong)
-
I prefer to rename this treat "Failed Tale".

…you do realize that none of those books came out that week, right? That's not for the month, or that quarter... just that week.
-
It wasn't magic. It was obviously the Flux Capacitor. Just used on an island instead of a car or steam powered train.

That wasn't what I was implying at all. And besides, what's your point? I just thought it was interesting that Fairy Tail made it on the list, that's all.
-

Or Fairy Fail..it deserves right now a lot of names.

So I'm getting the DVD set on Monday…are there any particular dub scenes anyone wants to see?

Mmm the part where Lucy tries to apply for the maid job
-
Obviously the time skip was to have Jello have a growth spurt and grow out his hair so Mashima can just trace Sieg Hart's design straight out of Rave.
And I looked up fairy taint…
-

Erza's introduction and Natsu vs. Gregor would be much appreciated.

Fail Tale shall replace the phrase "Fail Whale"

I'll be honest, I just typed fairy taint on google and thought there was an entry on urbandictionary of fairy taint. The first link gave what would happen if you typed taint fairy on urbandictionary and I thought the definition for taint was taint fairy. But even if it was, it's still not as bad as felch.
-
I would like it if the cast aged 7 years in a few instants when they got back to their dimension because it would sync up their bodies to the correct dimension. but no this is fucking pointless.

Honestly Robby, three series is a bit too much. It would just mean you'd have to scan three times as many posts to find any mention of FT.
Plus FT is published by a completely different company.

@No:

it seems to me that no one actually cares about the series anymore and have given up all hope on it. No one is discussing it seriously, and have given up all pretense of spoiler tags, and its turning into pure train wreck fodder.
As it turned out, merging the Bleach and Naruto threads actually got people interested in checking out the other series just to see what the hell the lulz were about, and its fallen into a rhythm where people looking specifically for one or the other are doing just fine.
I do think 3 series might be a bit much, that's why it'd be on a trial basis first. But sheer venting about stupidity in a shonen manga thats beyond redemption is apparently becoming universal.
Plus FT is published by a completely different company.
So?
-
@RobbyBevard:
So?
It's just gonna confuse people even more.
They finaly figured out FT is not Shounen Jump, I don't want to have to remind everyone again :P
Plus, it's more amusing to actualy find out what people said after a specificaly bad twist. Having to scan everyone's post for anything FT related in the group thread would just make reading through them go 30 % slower.
-
I still enjoy Fairy Tail. To me it's like Plan 9 From Outer Space of manga.
-
Erza's introduction and Natsu vs. Gregor would be much appreciated.
You got it.
Now I just need to figure out how to do video editing on my MacBook (it doesn't have iMovie for some reason).
-
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/36793192/1
Kubo actually looks like a good mangaka compared to Mashima.
-
Oh fucking wow.
Seriously, Mashima?! SERIOUSLY???!!
This is just…just...GOD DAMNIT. I'm off. I need something to drink now.
**** this manga. -
OMG i so totally… saw everything coming -_- as much as i don't mind fairy tail and will continue to read it this just didn't have any surprising factors. They could've at least aged and trained to make themselves stronger
-
And Romeo's fire ball is comprable to a candle flame :lmao
I can't stop laughing.
-
It was far worse than imagined. There wasn't even an ATTEMPT at build-up. It was just
"Whoosh, there's the island, whoosh, there's Natsu, whoosh, everyone's back. YAY!!!"
I knew Mashima would rush to get back to his safe, predictable formula but this…wow, must have broken a world record for sure.
And what was that bullshit about the first master who came out of nowhere turning their friendship into a magic shield that froze them? What? Why? How? Where did the first come from, how can she appear in her ethereal form, what is this fairy sphere, how does it work, why does friendship activate it and why did it never activate before, why did it take 7 years to undo, what was the point of 7 years passing, what was the point of it all!?! What, what, what!?? There's absolutely NO attempt at any sort of internal logic in this series, Mashima is just, "It's MAGIC, ACCEPT IT!!! Here have some titties to take your mind of it! LOOK AT THE TITTIES!!!"

The chapter itself irk me especialy this two pages.
Jesus Mashima….just jesus. -
WTF! I couldn't bring myself to finish reading this shitstain. Seems like I'm going to have to stop reading this trash :getlost:
-
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Mashima finally kills Makarov, just to bring him back right away as a ghost. And you know that in FT, if you're a ghost, you're pretty much still alive.
-
So I gotta ask once again… what was the point of the last 2 chapters again?
This could have easily done without the timeskip and without last week's chapter. -
i dropped the anime a whiole ago because i lost interest and seems like the same will be done with the manga….and i thought that i would be reading it till the end...NO THNKS
-
Omg this was so bad :S…
-
Thank god I quit.
-
Everybody who defends this manga after such a chapter should be banned. This is beyond saving…
-
Goddammit. Robby,can we just fuse the thread with the Bleach/Naruto thread already? It doesn't deserve to finish this thread. it's pretty much hit the point of no return at this point. It CAN'T get any lower than this.
This is like the Pain arc or the Winter War arc. Badness personified to the extent that it physically hurts you. It just can't get any worse.
-
-
But it can get worse..Mashima can do another timeskip after this!
An actual time skip!
… -
Okay, seeing the chapter translated made it worse. Much like the bit about "tomorrow's magic", I didn't take the whole "Fairy Sphere was powered by friendship" thing literally (they had a lot of magic built up to defend themselves, and Mavis tapped into that somehow; that's about it), and I didn't have any problem with the girl being the ghost of the first master (at least that had precedent, both in regards to ghosts existing in the series and Mavis still having some spiritual prescence on the island), but the chapter was horribly rushed, and the time-skip seems to mean nothing if the only notable characters who aged were the remnants of Fairy Tail, Gerard, Urtear, Meredy, and the other guilds from the Oracion Seis arc.
I had been hoping that the remnants of the guild would actually stand up for themselves before the main cast got back, but that didn't really happen. Then again, I had also been hoping that this would take more than a single chapter and result in some development for the others, so I guess I have unrealistic expectations for this series.

EVERYONE… WE'RE BACK!!!
meanwhile…on the other side of the globe.

Tim: Yes Frank, News is, Natsu and the other's are back :)
Frank: RAGE! …......................................................:(

I'm sorry, but what the hell was that? ….. I have nothing else to say about this chapter.
Also, FT should be merged with Bleach. I don't think Naruto deserves to be in the same topic as those two. I mean, it's not a masterpiece like One Piece but I do like Naruto a a whole. It's definitely nowhere near the level of fail that Bleach and Fairy Tail have become. There are some boring arcs and a few things that bug me about the series, but no fundamental flaws in the storytelling imo unlike the other two.
-
And Romeo really smiled when he saw Natsu.
OH dear… -

Naruto has no fundamental flaws in storytelling?
