Literally, all complaints about FT reveal nothing but hypocrisy from you all. I don't understand why people make comments like "too much fanservice" or "too fast paced" or "characters too OP". Do you really prefer Dressrossa like pacing? Shit, for little over 500 chapters, Fairy Tail has managed to actually richly develop its characters and complete several story arcs.
And sorry to get all SJW, but this manga at least has interesting female characters that actually get shit done and are meaningful to the plot. And for all its fanservice, at least Mashima is not afraid to give a lot of male fanservice as well. Romance and friendship have a big role, characters actually interact and have reasons to care for each other.
Also, Erza, best girl from all fandoms.

FT do just what the majority of shonen manga do. But in a more explicit way. The delivery is so unfiltered and explicit it hit the reader with the full power of the bullshit. Things like OP or Naruto manage to hide the bullshittery to the naive reader, FT don't even try. I appreciate the master pace as well. Is the dragon Ball like neverending bullshit that make me cringe. But today readers are so used to associate power levels and "epicness" to the number of chapters it take to take them down that a 2 chapters Battle is seen as "breaking the hype".
Logan Long
>master pace *faster pace
Jose Lopez
At least you didn't claim Lucy is best girl
Samuel Johnson
Liking interesting female characters is not SJW. Can we at least keep Sup Forums relatively free of this shit? If you like a male/female character because they're interesting it's fine. If you like moeblobs that are made of tits and pandering or fujobait whose entire personality can be summed up in 'top' or 'bottom' it's fine. And so is everything in between. SJW vs Sup Forums is not even on the radar of people who make shit in Japan so can we just leave it out of things as much as we can?
i need my politics free anime safe space
Chase Fisher
No Fuck off libtard
Evan Richardson
Thats already a given, you shouldnt post about it or you'll get retards coming out to discuss meta shit that doesnt belong on the board
John Harris
I actually like that it exploits its tropes explicitly. I kind of dislike how some animes try to take themselves too seriously. FT is very self-aware, it openly appeals to the shippers, it references other animes, the power levels are all fucked up... So yeah, as a mainstream anime, I think it's actually a positive development over its predecesors.
Cameron Smith
>Can we keep Sup Forums relatively free of this shit. I hope so. But is not like feminazis never tried to entangle anime and manga into their bullshit. So expect the argument to pop out every now and then.
Zachary Bell
She was best girl until Brandish arrived.
Cooper Edwards
And let's face it. All this fanservice and "edgy" hate come mostly from there.
Adrian Cox
Great thread OP, Fairy Tail really deserves all the praise it gets as the most epic anime in the battle shounen genre. Moefags BTFO once again. You know what makes it the best anime ever? Metal. It's so godamn metal you wouldn't believe it. What other anime shreds guitars harder than FT? Not moeshit like K-On or Lucky Star, and sure as hell not soulless ripoffs for children like One Piece (of shit).
The characters are all amazing and has one of the saddest villains ever: Jellal. I don't even need to tell you who he is, just know that you'll be feeling feels for him! Anyway, Natsu is a motherfucking dragonborn, Gray is hot af (LOL!!) and Erza... what can I say? She's Erza.
This anime isn't for faggot kids who like Naruto wearing their gay ass headbands running like retards, nor is it a ltieral baby cartoon like One Peas. Fairy Tail is a show for men, who like badass manly things and aren't afraid to appreciate a bit of T and A once in a while. And it has fucking DRAGONS. Who doesn't love DRAGONS?
Leo Martinez
Shallow and mediocre series that's "saturday morning cartoon" tier. That it's appeal though and the series does it well. However, Boku No hero is a much better satmorncartoon shonen in every aspect barring the fanservice
Blake Young
Holy fuck, are you actually defending trash like FT?
Adrian Powell
You kidding but actually... It even appeared a Black metal assassin. And what about Gajeel? So, yeah... Is kinda metal.
Julian Evans
>Sorry to get all SJW It's a mediocre shounen at best.
Tyler Gutierrez

Jose Long
If you or any other that hate FT are fanboys of other shonenshit like wan piss or naruto or similar, i would really like to read your arguments about why you think they are better.
Samuel Flores
Fairy Tail is awful.
Henry Adams
To be honest, I actually endured with the bullshit Fairy Tail had until one guy soloed 5 strong enemies on the grand magic games due to the power of friendship. Hey, but atleast the girls are hot.
Benjamin Kelly
XD
Austin Wilson
Who cares about Fairy Tail?
Christopher Carter
Nobody cares about anything in FT other than the PLOT. Certainly not the plot.
Nathan Torres
I dropped Fairy Tail after like 120 episodes because that timeskip was the last fucking straw. The doujins aren't even good.
Owen Bell
If that's what is all about why hundreds of more PLOTty manga/anime haven't surpassed it in popularity?
Caleb Cruz
I liked the OST of the animu
Jaxson Foster
That's the true bad thing about FT. The freaking lack of doujins...
Jordan Watson
I like FT but I dropped it after 35 episodes from s2 . Shit was boring and not enjoyable after the time skip ? The only thing that goes for it is its characters .
Alexander Ortiz
It has a certain flair, perhaps.
Wyatt Edwards
You don't need doujin when the author himself does this
Robert Gray
Nah it's shit. At least the girls are hot though.
Dominic Nguyen
Matsuena Syun draw more and better T&A and his latest manga is not even being translated anymore cause no one give a shit.
Christopher White
What about this?
Colton Lopez
Fairy Tail is not hated for the reasons you listed. It is bashed on for the power of FRIENDSHIP. 99% of arcs have Fairy Tail completely outclassed in all areas to ultimately have some friendship speech be said before some final attack that wins. That is what turns people off the series.
Ryder Kelly
That,s true... Why do Fairy Tails doujins sucks so much? They are all boring.
Gavin Parker
It tends to happen when the series itself leaves little to the reader's imagination. I mean we've already seen all the girls tits and asses, bathing together, fondling each other and even doing it with guys.
What's there for doujinshi author to get new ideas?
Chase James
Na Ultear was
Ethan Johnson
BECAUSE SHE IS ERZA
Julian Bennett
i want to grope wendys butt, also need more cute lucy and natsu scenes
Joshua Lewis
I respect your opinion, even though I disagree.
Xavier Rogers
is she still a granma or dead or whatever. For a series where friendship solves everything she got fucked over pretty hard
Carter Sanchez
>bad guys appear, they are the strongest threat the fucking world has ever faced >beat MCs once >MCs beat them back with the power of friendship >bad guy leader who is literally the strongest endboss since satan himself fucks EVERYONE >Natsu eats some shit and/or screams something about friendship and beats the crap out of him Yes it's truely the worst type of shonen. Makes shit like Bleach and Naruto look like the work of god himself. I still read it weekly though, because of its PLOT
Evan Thompson
Last I recall best hips were trapped in time and only able to be active during someone's time stop.
Mason Morales
Because Mashima is really damn good at drawing hot female characters. Sadly that's the only good thing in his manga.
Jace Miller
Fairy Tail in a nutshell.
Thomas White
so still proper fucked eh? Shame. She was banging. Ain't gonna say she didn't do shit but other fuckers done worse and got off
Nathaniel Reyes
Basically your average shonenshit.
Henry Phillips
This. She's pretty much the only loss this manga had to suffer until now, fuck even Makarov survived like 5 "definite deaths" before finally kicking the bucket just kidding, he'll survive this arc too
Dominic Barnes
>The only thing that goes for it is its characters No. Characters are extremely shallow and bland. They're all one-dimensional characters with a one personality quirk that is overly exploited for cheap laughs, and character development is non-existant or is extremely poorly done. tl;dr, characters are trash.
Austin Allen
Just the fact itself that they would draw nipples...
Eli Anderson
don't TL;DR after two sentences. It undermines you're whole point.
Eli Peterson
I've seen anons giving tl;dr for less.
Nolan Hall
And they looked like retards every time. Honestly, If user jumped off a bridge would you follow?
Dylan Gray
>It undermines you're whole point. But he's right
Camden Rodriguez
This is a thread where anons are defending FT. Retards is what I was expecting to see.
Brody James
>This is a thread where anons are defending FT how many posts here do you honestly believe are serious? be honest.
Connor Parker
OP at the very least.
Jordan Howard
The already mentioned Syun and the guy drawing tsugumomo are good too. Of course i don't say popular=good, but FT cannot be popular only for that. No matter how much haters wanna deny it, what made FT successfull is the same bullshit that made one piss successfull. But in FT is so much "in your face" and unfiltered that is like eating sugar and butter as they are instead of a cake.
