Anyone still keep up with Fairy Tail? I still do. Fairy Tail 268Recently, looks like a huge group of guilds are gathering for a huge tournament. Though I know there is something else lying underneath it all, some other motive to it. Not sure what though.

I love FT. Still one of my favorite manga. I'm quite interested in what will occur during the tournament. Should be fun to watch.

As much as I love Wendy, I was giddy with joy when she was replaced by Elfman. I can't wait to see more of him.
Also, it seems strange that Fairy Tail has TWO teams. It sort of dumbs down the overall distress the guild should be feeling. That's just my opinion though.

I kinda of see it playing out that the "Badass Team" Laxus, etc, well get beaten and beaten badly by Sabertooth. Which will add to the distress of Natsu's team.

ELFMAN
As for the current happenings, I may be sticking my neck out here in assuming otherwise, but I think Luxus' team will fare quite well. Despite not being the main characters or even having any of the main characters, their team is just far too grossly powerful to be beaten with any ease. I mean we're talking, Luxus, Mirajane, Gajeel, Lluvia, and even Gerard, literally every one of them is an S-class mage with one of them even being 10 Wizard Saint material.
How I see it turning out; team Natsu and Sabertooth at each others' throats, meanwhile Luxus' team will be tied up with the Raven Tail team. My money is on them being the bad guys.

269: mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/92055242/1Fairy Tail kicks ass, this whole new tournament arc is looking to be pretty good. Time skip was a bit wtf but not as bad as some things av seen in other manga. That raven tail guy going after Gray!

I HATED the time skip. But yeah, this arc is coming along pretty well so far.

When they started the time skip, I honestly thought it was gonna change focus. Instead of the main characters being who they are I thought they were gonna focus on the kid (forgot his name). Then when they showed the state of the guild I thought perhaps he was going to make it so Fairy Tail was trying to climb the ranks and become more powerful so that one day they could get a magic that would allow for the return of Natsu and the others.

while that would be an interesting story there is no way Fairy Tail would have kept its popularity with the sudden drop of every primary cast member.
If that ahd happened i would probably only be reading fairy tail as an obligation to finish it after investing so much time into reading it, the same way i currently feel about bleach.
Simple fact is that not a lot of people care enough about the characters that were left, other than Bisca and Alzack i didn't care about any of the other characters that were not on tenrou island. To many fans would have lost interest and sales would have suffered.

I think the Tim Skip could have worked.
The old Guild would go on a grand and fantastic adventure to try and find Natsu and co. But INSTEAD, they just pop up out of nowhere like nothing happened. That was lame.

I agree. I would have actually liked to have seen some kind of struggle for the old members of the Guild, rather than "Oh, here they are with no struggle no need for you guys to act."
I felt cheated as a reader and felt the Time Skip was simply a copy of other series, but not executed as well.

the time skip will hopefully have some significance to thi whole multiple of 7 thing thats going on.
But anyway an arc with Romeo, Macao, Wakaba, Bisca and Alzack just would not work. I really would not want to see that, maybeif they had featured a little more and been more properly developed it would work but they aren't even side charcters, thur background characters for the most part. we only see them when our main 21 guys on the island are not around.

I felt cheated as a reader CJ just described Fairy Tail in the most characteristic way, it's the manga with the biggest butt-pulls and handwaves. But on the few times that it is good, man is it ever good! I gotta say I think they could have just not had every one of the main character be spirited away on Tenrou island. After all, what, didn't a number of them leave after failing their S-rank exams? And I'm sure the author could have come up with ways to get others out of there. If it had just been team Natsu and their immediates gone, Makarov too then you could have done it nice and easily. Timeskip Fairy Tail is in the hands of Gildartz and Luxus. Truth be told though, I didn't mind the timeskip so much. What rustled my jimmies more than anything, was when Erza and Gerard were totally gonna kiss and make up, and then Gerard pussies out and lies about being engaged. That scene could have been really moving, powerful, but at the last second LOL NOPE ANOTHER HANDWAVE. I don't know why I expected anything else.

I didn't like or dislike the time skip. It just kind of happen and I didn't feel cheated or anything, just what I thought was gonna happen didn't. Now that I look back I do feel a little cheated that there was no real struggle to get the main members back.

Is this manga seriously still any good? I stopped reading when the poison dragon slayer showed up.
