The anime starts pretty baldy, but by the time it gets to the proper arcs it shaped up really well. I think it does a better job than the manga in most areas.
Fairy Taint Discussion II

I agree with Sven for example they immediately note that siegrain and jello are twins while (if I remember this correctly) in the manga this wasn't hinted at all making the readers "think" that there two differn't people all together (in looks that is) so when it's shown what jello's face looks like it feels like a slap in the face.
Also having gray defeat Fukurou didn't look as dumb as in the anime, In fact it actually looked decent and now I kinda like that finisher he has with those elbow ice spikes. -
So have there been any filler eps yet ?
-
1 or 2 filler ep's guess there just trying to make this as manga cannon as possible. Well sooner or later they'll run out of manga material to work with and will either: close the series or start adding filler to it.
-
Sometimes I wish an anime series would take a break between "seasons," like Hajime no Ippo…but with less wait time in between. (maybe something more appropriate would be Full Metal Panic?) Like every other anime season come back with more episodes, letting about two years worth of chapters get built up.
Though, then it becomes a problem of where to end the season if certain arcs go on longer than anticipated. Which is why it won't work on something like One Piece.

-
Lemme guess…......cats ?
-
Wow what a twist ! No one was expecting that i guess.
…
-_-
Let's play a game people, try to guess what's happening in this chapter, just for lulz.
-
I didn't read it so…...
Gerard uses Lilly to have the dragon chain cannon atach itself to the mecha ?
And cats crying , while being useless ?
-
Screw the anime! What a rip-off of the manga!
You lie Tecci!
Yeah who woulda thunk it, an anime taking material from the manga
But seriously, the anime's pretty bad (though I'll admit it has gotten better). Especially if you were honestly planning on watching it from the beginning.
Also the anime's new ED made me hate that son of a bitch Luxus more than I already did.
-
Nobody like this manga,this is sad for me Fairy tail is more better than bleach/naruto
this is realy sad
I enjoy this arc,is more better than the tower paradise/Luxus/Oracion
i like Edoras,i d'ont like cats but i d'ont realy care,this manga is not the best shonen in this world but i like it
Yes this shonen have cliché plus généric bad guy but who cares,that's what I want in a shonen,it without making head
I know this is site for the glory of Oda but c'mon nigga,this nekkestu is more better than Aizen the god and ichigo the pussy or sasuke fag and narutardé-gay.
tell me for the love of god,this shonen is more bettre than Naruto/Bleach ?

Calm down, kolie. There are plenty of people that like FT, just not a lot of them posting here. In fact, I'd say most of the people who like FT don't post here. It's just that there have been plenty of times where an arc seems promising, then goes to utter crap. Sure there were some good parts in between, but overall feelings of the most recent arcs were "It could've been so much better."
Also, I'm probably the last person on these boards who wouldn't mind if Earthland Gerard/Jellal made another few appearances.

Sadly you'll never get a good Fairy Tail Convo started hear for that sole reason. I happen to enjoy Fairy Tail immensely, there's just something that draws me to it. For me it's the perfect manga to keep me going through the week while I wait for One Piece.
-
well i think we are all thinking it, cliche as it is, "bout damn time"
@Ichnob:Calm down, kolie. There are plenty of people that like FT, just not a lot of them posting here. In fact, I'd say most of the people who like FT don't post here.
and thats cause so many seem to just come in here to bash it every week, its annoying
or even when they find it good, they follow up with a "how will gerard ruin it next week" or how will the authro ruin it next week ect. they don't even give it a chance, so no wonder they don't like it
if your looking for a reason to bash on something every week you will do anything to find it, even if you have to stretch things to do so.

People's dislike for Gerard isn't stopping me from making a cosplay of his OS outfit.

I think Fairy Tail is nothing more than a fun read, I don't take it seriously at all and besides the only really bad arc was the Oracion Seis arc.

That's not as bad as the one's who don't bother to read it, step in and post: Fairy tail sucks, than when asked why? they reply: I don't read it anymore cause I know it sucks.

That outfit was pretty dang neat, not as cool looking as his nova outfit when he fought against natsu in TOP
as for the chapter
! Well that was a nice chapter, the action was done rather well and the fight between erza and erza was also nice, also fuck ya! on edo tail showing up, at first when that seed sprouted I immediately assumed droy had showed up to help them out along with the rest of earthlands FT but that wouldn't make any sense so once again it's a good thing edo tail showed up. Now I wonder what kind of mess mistgun and Plily are gonna get into
-
Hey Sauza you never told me if my guess was right !
-
God ! i'm sorry :s
well…
[hide]no[/hide] -
Where can I find 192?
-
Nowhere yet , wait for Mangastream and see if they man up or if they will be over taken by someone again , which would mean the scan would be out sometime on thursday .
-
As far as the not liking FT goes, I like it as something fun to read, but other than having entertainment value, it's mediocre.
OS was just flat out bad, and other than Phantom Lord/Luxus arcs, I can't say I've liked FT beyond just being something fun to read. It follows the same pattern of cliches, and never really manages to pull off anything good. The author makes tons of things with great potential only to ruin them right away (most glaring example to me was the airship in OS). The "plot twists" are always "let's make another dragonslayer/Gerard clone!". Everything else is predictable bs, except possibly the bitching I hear about the cats (again, I'm still at the start of Edoras atm). And the fights are almost always solved by dues ex machina.
But hey, if you think OS was the best literary work of all time, go ahead and genuinely like FT. I don't truly like it. It's just a fun read, but even that's above what Bleach and Naruto are these days.
-
Lol , read up to the chapter called "exceed" already .
And then bitch with the rest of us .
-
I love FT. I also love criticizing it to some extent. Mainly Gerald, his clones, and the weakly developed villains. That does not stop the series from being fun though. Unlike alot of shonen I try to get into, FT is one of these series that has a decent style with stories that don't require much deep thoughts(I mean honestly… if this manga had deep explainations with stories this bad, I would have quit the series like Reborn). While the stories themselves could be better, it warrants enough content to keep me interested. I would have quite reading this a long time ago if it wasn't for these little strengths the manga has.

Looks like Gerard has finally reached reality! Head for the hills people!
-

I hope no FT fans have any tomatoes on them when that day comes.
-
Finally caught up! Haha
Overall, I like this series. The "terrible" arcs were meh to me. And I've honestly thoroughly enjoyed Edoras arc so far. :) Out of the seven series I watch/read, I put this in 5th.
-
The episode was nicely done, as is the case with them all lately. I also liked the new opening and endings as well.
I know people hate the "Jellal" spelling, but honestly it sounds more like Jellal than Gerard in the anime, so I'm going to start using the Jellal spelling. So you people can just ignore that if you want.
-
The soundtrack continues being the best part of this show.
The piece they use when Gray walks up to a crying Erza is awesome.
EDIT: This is the one. http://www.youtube.com/user/YamiKimosai#p/c/4563D6CC3B9B5E5C/23/B83uuAnneo0

and i'll call him jello

Just picked up the anime. Watching Episode 2 now. When does the anime get "good"?
-
At around phantom lord, the beginning stuff is just hilariously bad.
-
Depends on what arcs you like. I will mention though that its nicely paced, so your not waiting 100 plus episodes to get to the good stuff. (Though that also a concern of mine. Their going a bit too fast. At this rate they'll catch up to the manga in no time).
-
At around phantom lord, the beginning stuff is just hilariously bad.
Even then though, it's my understanding that it doesn't become "good", just decent compared to it's horrid start. I wouldn't know since I haven't marathoned it yet.
-
There's still no blood, and most of the very violent moments get toned down.
But it's got pretty fast pacing (perhaps too fast), the soundtrack is awesome (especially by the later episodes) and the animation (while still not great) has gotten better.
They've also dropped the recycled animation for attacks.
So, yeah, I wouldn't say it's "great" or anything, but it's more-or-less alright. The soundtrack is basically it's selling point for me, it kinda amplifies the emotional scenes that really didn't do much for me in the manga.
Lissana's death, for one. Which I think they go more in detail for the anime.
-
Okay, Episode 4… still a little crummy so far. :p As stated though, the music is epic.
-

It becomes pretty dang good, not to mention the added filler into the arc was a nice tough plus natsu vs. gazille animated was pretty dang awesome.
-

Why are you lying?
-
I'm not lying, I just enjoy cheaplly made animation, it makes everything else I watch look like a disney animated movie classic.
-
Dammit, anime, can't you just wait until you finish the current arc before bringing out an opening the showcases the next one?! Well, least the footage of Natsu and Gajeel fighting Laxus looked pretty awesome.
-
Crossword , I meant to ask what you think of the past few chapters , since I think I missed your input on any of them .
-
The chapter are good,but there is no story for now,i/we must be patient
I want the purpose of the dragon/Zeref/Lucy/The dragon slayer
i don't realy care about the human.
I want to see the black dragon and tartaros.
-
The Dragon king is named Jaya btw :ninja:

Well, I wasn't around last week, so that's why I haven't said anything. I'm kinda flattered that you're looking for my opinion, though.
So then, the beginning of this chapter reminded me of an RPG video game what with all the status buffs, which I suppose was the entire point. As mentioned earlier in the thread, yeah, Faust is basically Dr. Wily at this point. I'm glad the fight isn't as one-sided like I feared at the beginning, and I got a chuckle out of Gajeel gnawing on the mecha.
Do Jellal and Mystogan both have to constantly have those ''serene/assured'' smiles on their faces so much? It kinda irritates me for some reason.
-
The smug smile always gets to me… I feel like tearing his face off.
-
there smile isn't that smug. I was re-reading flame of recca and I saw a face that made me cringe. Wanna see a picture?
-

Even after you tear off the flesh, the smile remains. Jellal's smile is eternal. Damnation.

-
Finished Episode 8. LOL, stock footage.
Digimon, anyone?
-
First season of digimon was actualy good I'll have you know :ninja:
And the second was…..passable .
After that , yeah.......especialy the fourth one .
-
I'm not saying Digimon was bad. I was referring to the blatant use of stock footage, which harkens back to the days of Digimon.
