The other thread was gettin huge, so here's a new one.It's official: Gildarts is the coolest mofo of them all. I wish he had been there to bend Luxus over his knee.Also not every dragon disappeared. Take from that what you will.
Even Natsu is gay for Gildarts.
Happy, what are you doing there?!Get out of there. They didn't even give you lines to speak.
>new chapterWHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?
>>35825You know it's funny. All kinds of epic stuff is happening, yet all I care about is that Gazelle has a goddamn cat. That cat is going to be so fucking awesome.
>>35828I thought the scratches were showing that the black cat just scratched his face up and left..
GAJEEL JUST WANTS SOME PUSSY, DAMMIT!>>35831I hope he didn't. He isn't the type to give up, and I'd like to see him get an ill-tempered cat.
The faceless black cat reminded me of that one cat from Girly.Also, I would have appreciated a little more time to cool down between cataclysms.
Ten to One says, the thing Mistgun is so afraid of will be solved easily by a group effort and if he wasn't such a loner wouldn't even have been an issue.
>>35843I'm not sure how I'd react to that.
I didn't learn that Yoshikawa Miki from Yankee-kun the Megane-chan was an assistant for Mashima Hiro until a little while ago, but now I can totally see the influence Mashima had on Yoshikawa's art style.
So. . .we've got some kind of parallel-universe scenario going on?Also, ~Charlieeeee
Double chapter next week. Didn't see that on Mangastream's scans.
>>35862JESUS! Hiro must be a freaking MACHINE! It seems like we keep getting specials along with regular chapters, always on time too! In Vol. 9, he mentioned one week he had to draw 112 normal manga pages, 4 color pages, and there were odd, small art jobs on top of that! I don't know how he does it!
>>35863And even with all that, he takes time off to do conventions and shit. And gets hungover, if his appearance at SDCC a few years ago was anything to go on, haha.
Wee, I was behind about three chapters, but now I'm caught up and fffffuuuu what the fuck is going on in this manga, you guys.I definitely know that I love all the BFF'ness in this manga makes me smile like the biggest tard on earth.ALSO CALLING IT RIGHT FUCKING NOW:Gildartz is going to betray the fuck out of the Guild. And if not the entire guild, then at least someone in the guild. He's too cool and sexy to not do just that.
>>35848 ...What?
>>35873Yankee-kun's mangaka used to be Mashima's assistant. The guy just realised similiarities in their artstyle.
I dawwed like nobody's business.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/168-35/2MANGASTREAM HAS NOT ONE BUT TWO CHAPTERS UP RIGHT NOW!TRULY THEY ARE POWERFUL MAGES!
Bizarro Jet and Droy look kinda cool.
>>36094If he was going to release two chapters at once, would it have been easier to just make it one double-length chapter? Or was this just because he had a built-up of buffer chapters.Looking kind of creepy there Wendy.
>>36094HOLY SHIT
>>36096Do you think this is Fairy Tail's Edoras equivalent or what Fairy Tail got turned into when they got sucked in there? If it's the former, I'm guessing either Edoras does not have counterparts to the Dragon Slayers or they just aren't there right now.On a different note, is Gajeel still in what was left of the city? Did he just get left in a town full of powder without anyone to explain what the hells happen? Gotta wonder what they hell he's thinking....Wait a minute, Mystogan is still there with him!
>>36099You know, I can't help but wonder if we're going to be meeting up with a version of Lisanna with this particular story arc...
>>36100Nice find there.I've always enjoyed these series that make extensive use of Chekhov's gun that at the start of an arc you can start have fun speculating what little details will turn out to be massively important in that arc, a future arc, or are just misdirection.
>>36097Her fang is adorable
>>36100Considering that the two chapters previous made a point of reminding us that she exists, and that she has a connection with Natsu, I'd say it's practically a certainty.
>>36101>Chekhov's gun>TVtropes>FFFUUUUU WHERE DID MY MORNING GO?Well, to be fair, Lisanna has been used to establish the behaviors of Elfman and Mirajane. Why they are the way they are, etc. Her death had a significant impact on people's personalities. It's just, when they showed her in the Bonus Chapter with kid!Natsu, I just d'awwed so much that I really wanted to believe she'll come back. ;-;
Strange animals with an actual explanation? IN MY MASHIMA MANGA? MADNESS.Next thing you know he'll tell us what Griff was.
So Happy is Goku?Anyway, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THIS FUCKING MANGA SO FUCKING MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>36117HE'S AN EGGPLANT I TELL YOU! A GIANT EGGPLANT!
Gee, this is an interesting HNNNGH
Why is it that it took someone else telling me to realize Mystogan is Edoras Gerard? Which pretty much solidified that this is Edoras's version of Fair Tail, not what happened to the guild when it got sucked into Edoras
>>36130You know, Luxus seemed to insinuate such a thing right here during his fight with Mystogan...
>>36131
What arc is everyone's favorite? For the longest time I thought nothing could top the Phantom Guild arc, but now I think the Luxus arc might have been the best (and had the most bawwww-worthy ending).
>>36187I mean, it gave us this absolutely horrifying page, after all.
>>36187I actually didn't like Phantom Guild that much except for the end with Lucy and her father.My favorite is probably either Cursed Island arc or the Laxus arc.
>>36187Luxus arc, definitely. It had Sword-Feet Erza and Gazeel-or-whatever and Natsu teaming up, which was amazing. Mirajane showed that she's a badass in disguise, Lucy and Loki showed everyone exactly why they are OTP, and it had a good, satisfying ending made of win and badass.
I personally liked the Oracion Seis arc, but that's only because most of the villains were pretty badass.On another note, anime just made me cry tears of manliness.
Cursed Island was Fairy Tail's Arlong Park.That said, I really can't choose.
>>36250Oh wow, I hadn't seen the anime for awhile, but did they just give Erza an electric guitar solo when she entered?Yes, yes they did. Incredible.
>>36255Also this arc is giving me so many great Pissed Off reaction faces from Erza.
This show shure has the best fucking music in anime since Cowboy Bebop
>>36256 I've just gotten so used to looking at her angry that they don't do anything for me. Granted it didn’t take long for angry face to become old but still.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/170-42/1
HO HO HOWELL LOOK AT THIS
>>36447I'm less interested in her than I am in FAIRY HUNTER.
>>36449I'm actually more curious as to what happened to the other world's Natsu.
>>36450>what happened to the other world's NatsuCaught by Fairy Hunter Erza?Or for that matter Makarov and Gajeel (if they have Wendy and Juvia, they probably have Gajeel)>>36447I just realized something: Their Lisanna is probably alive because their Elfman didn't try the full-body transformation that ended up killing the other Lisanna.
Sugarboy confirmed for best enemy design ever.
>>36454yeeeeeaaaaahhh....
>>36255Is this it? Sounds awesome.
>>36630Oh God, I think my ears just came.
>>36630Fffff yes I gotta get me this soundtrack
>>36642GOTTA GOTTA GET THIS SOUNDTRACK
>>36646DO IT AGAIN! THAT ONE DIDN'T COME OUT!
The main theme ,It makes love to my ears.
>>36656posted the wrong one. This is the one. FEEL HOW AWESOME IT ISSSS
>>36657Grays theme is recicusly bitching. Its like iron maiden wrote it.
>>36657My ears came.Does anyone know what the reminiscence song with vocals is called?
You are now imagining Erza facing off Midnight.
Is it just me or do I keep hearing bagpipes in these songs?If so, awesome.
Ah, I finally remember what the OST reminds me of. Some of the Ragnarok Online 2 OST songs have the same feel.I'd suggest it giving it a listen if you like the Fairy Tail OST! And as a bonus it's be Yoko Kanno.
HAUHAHU I LOVE FAIRY TAIL MUSIC FFFFF
I just caught up.So Mistgun IS the Edoras Gerard right?
>>36717Almost certainly.
You know, why did it take someone else telling me to realize Edoras Mirajane is opposite--namely regular Mirajane stopped being such a hellraiser because Lisanna died, but here she's like that even though Lisanna is still alive.
http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/171/01/
>>37205HELLO NEW FAVORITE CHARACTER DESIGN!
>>37208FORGET WHAT I JUST SAID.
Also, while I'm here....What do you think is the significance of the date the dragons disappeared being the same date Lucy's mother died? Personally I think she had something to do with them vanishing and died as a result
>>37210That's what pretty much everyone thinks.Also, it seems from this new chapter that we won't be seeing any more Edoras Fairy Tail members as the rest are all dead. Ahh...
DAMMIT NURSE STOP SENDING IN COVER IDEAS
>>37212Silly Mindwipe. If this were a nurse request, it would be a sexy sexy Erza picture.
I'm not sure who we should be more worried about, the King, or the Chief of Staff.
Seems like Mashima hasn't forgotten who the hero of this manga is. AWESOME!
>>37614YEAAAAAAAAH!
And now we know why Mistgun uses so goddamn many staffs and wands.
>>37616

Can't wait to see the personality difference... Other than the vehicle thing.
>>38032Every time I think the chapter is heading for a lull, it kicks it up a notch. Fastest man in Fairy Tail, indeed.Also, being a Stellar Spirit Mage sure seems tough...
>>38033... WHO'S HE ON A DATE WITH?!
>>38034I'm more worried about why he got Virgo to call him "Brother"...
>>38034Aries probably.
We're going to end up with Natsu/Lucy, aren't we.Goddammit.
>>38039Nonsense. Even Mashima must realize Erza/Lucy is the one true path.
>>38041OF COURSE!
>>38032Me either.>>38039Right now I can't see any of the main characters romance lives going anywhere.
>>38034Aries, durr.

Suddenly, REACTION IMAGES EVERYWHERE.
>>38346THE ENTIRE PAGE. HOLY CRAP.
TIME TO TACO UP THE TOWN!http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/175-68/2... I'm out of clever metaphors.
>>38946>DAT CHAPTER
>>38948It wouldn't be Fairy Tail without DRAMATIC TROPE TWISTERS
Well no shit it was a trap, that was obvious.What I want to know is why the bowing?
So is anyone else thinking it's possible that Happy's lack of any sort of memory means Charle was wrong about him being from Edoras like she is?
Hoho, guess what arc the anime just started?
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/176-73/1Well shit... I did NOT see that twist coming.
This is a really bizarre twist.
>>39357So Happy, Charle, and 98 other cats were initially sent to Earth to kill people because the queen of a ruling race of talking cats from another dimension considers herself a god who's job it is to kill humans when they're getting overpopulated, but once they got Anima they figured the Dragon Slayers would be more valuable for the magic they could drain from them, so some of the cats' mission was changed from killing the Dragon Slayers to luring them into a trap in Edoras, all the while being subconsciously ordered around by the Exceed in the other world. It's for this reason that Natsu and Wendy are going to be converted into magic, but Lucy is just going to be executed. Huh.I'm simultaneously tripping balls and feeling kinda depressed.>>35828Or a Manchurian assassin
I'm having a hard time buying that Edoras is willingly cooperating with the Exceed, especially the King and Prime Minister.
>>39365You're implying that we aren't already slaves to cat overlords who only pretend to be adorable somewhat mindless pets.
So... was Gazelle's violent cat encounter related to this I wonder?
>>39365I'm betting that The King plans on overthrowing their furry overlords so his people stopped getting killed, thus why he's so desperate to amass more magic than they "need."This manga has really taken a turn for the bizarre. We'll just have to see how it goes.
>>39367Probably not, that was just a regular cat.
So who wants to bet that the Exceed Queen is somehow tied to the dragons themselves and Dark Mage Zeref?
Exceed Queen is Lucy's dead mother. Calling it.
>Over a 100 years ago a race called the Exceed used to live hereI don't recall reading that.
>>39404I'm not sure I'd believe anything found in a book whose author couldn't even spell "narrative"...
>>39404
>>39404DAMN YOU SEEMINGLY INNOCUOUS DETAIL FOR BEING IMPORTANT NOW!
Wait, you guys are just now remembering that? That was right in the "put in a load of details that turn out to be important later" phase most arcs have.
Oh wow, the anime is really dialing the gay up to eleven.I have no complaints.
>>39404Took a bite our of the ODA ODA Fruit
A new extra chapter is up. No half-naked Lucy this time, but the Natsu x Lucy ship gets a few more points..http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fairy_tail/v21/c176.5/

>>39869Once I realized Happy is this storyarc's hero, I could not stop laughing. I love this manga.Also, this was the most d'awww and b'awwww chapter yet.
>>39871Also, it's really like I'm playing Assassin's Creed!
>Full Color Specials>A story arc in which the cute cat mascot is the heroI love you Mashima. I still doubt anything he'll do will reach the level of awesome of Rave Master's time travel arc though.
Can someone recommend me a site to watch the episodes on? I tried looking myself but I've already gotten hammered with two computer-killer trojans in the past two months.
>>40116Watchanimeon works fine for me.
Mindfuuuuuuck from Hiro in Vol. 10.>By the way, does anybody have any guesses why there are butterflies when we first go into Erza's flashback scenes? Actually this was a leftover from an idea that was rejected. Does anybody out there know of the Chinese story, "The Dream of the Butterfly"?>One day, there was a man who dreamed that he was a butterfly. When he awakened, an odd thought struck him. Could it be that my life as a butterfly was real? That I am not a man dreaming that I am a butterfly, but...>I was thinking of using a plot like that. That the present Erza is actually just the young Erza's dream of the future. Or something to that effect. But if I were to use that idea for real, what would happen to Natsu and Lucy and everybody else?! And I thought about it for a few weeks, and now the idea can only be found in those remnants. Keeping it would have made the story very complicated!
>>40252
>>40252Now imagine him working side by side with Oda, in order to to make the biggest WTF moment in the world
I'm quite certain this is the first time Mashima has drawn a very angry kitty.Also, new chapter:http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/178-84/1
>>40275Is it wrong that the one thing that was catching my attention the most in this chapter was Lucy's ridiculous outfit?
>>40277All I could think of was that there was someone fapping to the images of her bare feet.Thanks, Internet!
Was Elfman vs Sol this awesome in the manga or is it just the anime?
It's an honour to present the most glorious moment in anime since Akira.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/179-98/1>>39365 was right
>>40656Hooray for me. Also Erza vs Erza catfight, awesome. Though I do wonder how she and Gray are loose. Also they say Extalia's military might is huge, but it appears to only be one small floating island, and Edoras just wiped out a TON of Exceed. Is the Queen a monster all on her own?
>>40657I bet that while Edoras' military was focused on chasing down Lucy, Happy and Charle, the Edoras Fairy Tail did an end run on the Lachryma and freed Earthland Fairy Tail.
>>40656Erza vs. Erza? Oh my gawwwwwwd! It's good to see Gray back in the action as well.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/180-105/2Congrats Mindwipe.
>>41020I'd like to think we're all winners with an Erza vs. Erza fight.Also, this chapter:
>>41022... Wait. Something's wrong.... Okay I guess they don't show him giving her the special pep pill
>Reading this chapter while listening to "Metal Gear Saga" from MGS4.
"Ten Commandment Lance"?
>>41026>Rune-Save>SacrifarEarthland Erza is screwed over.
>>41024>Hey, I'll try that out too!Wow. Seriously, thanks for sharing.
>>41044Everything is more awesome with Metal Gear music. I didn't even actually PLAY this series until recently, but I've been listening to the music for awhile.If you like Code Geass, try reading the last chapter of Nightmare of Nunally while listening to Snake Eater (long version).
Odd that Mashima would want to skimp on all these important details, like Gazille suddenly joining the fight. These could have made chapters all on their own, but coming out of nowhere like this, it just seems like a Deux ex Machina.
OHWOAHWOAHOHWOAHWOAHThe new OP is surprisingly pretty catchy.
>>41067I got curious about the other opening and found this.>Opens up with a bunch of cute girls dressed as LucyBEST MUSIC VIDEO EVER!
>>41056Well, he can't give Gazille a big splash page right away. It would spoil the surprise/awesome of GAZILLE CAT.We're going to break out into the plaza and see Gazille and his cat kicking ass side by side.
>>41089Surprise! Pantherlily is his cat.
I can't get the new OP out of my head. Definitely the best OP this series has had yet--snappy beat, gratuitous English, and what I feel is just the right sort of emotion for the arc it ruthlessly spoils.
>>41067I like the flute.
Hell yeah motherfucker.
I AM ALMOST CAUGHT UPGREY IS UNDERRATED TIER
>>41160One of the things I've found interesting is that Natsu and Grey are still on the same combat tier when it comes to consistently fighting. Natsu hasn't really gotten any stronger as the manga has progressed, but instead rather consumes something that temporarily helps him take on the big bad, or teams up with another character, etc. Despite Natsu having defeated more of the "Big Bads" than Grey, if the two were to fight, it'd be a fairly even match (and both would lose pathetically to Erza, who is still at the top of the food chain).It's one of those details that sets it apart from other shonen mangas. The power structure is static (not counting Lucy), making it feel more like a western comic book.Or am I totally off-base with this analysis?
>>41162I'd drop the western comicbook part, but otherwise I'd say that's pretty accurate.
>>41162You're mostly right about the thing with the main characters (minus Lucy) not getting explicitly stronger all the time, but I'm still getting the feeling that they're getting more experienced if nothing else.
>>41162>>41162I think this is part of the reason a lot of people were comparing Fairy Tail to One Piece when FT was first coming out. Both series have relatively rigid power structures, with definite but (somewhat) subtle increases in strength for its members as a group as they progress. In addition, they both have Western flavors--lots of gratuitous English and other languages in move names and on signs, more West than East in the architectural and clothing styles, et cetera.
>Every time someone mentions Lisarna around NatsuI leak tears like a bitch.
The anime had better have young Makarov and co. filler after this arc's done.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/181-127/1
>>41333When that page popped up, I could not stop laughing.
So I suppose my question is: why is Panther Lily still working with Edoras? He seems shocked they were going against Extalia, does that mean he's "fallen" as well?Also what is Extalia going to do, be recruited by Wendy and Charle? It seems unlikely that the Queen would meet with, never mind LISTEN to, a healer Dragon Slayer and a fallen Exceed. On the other hand, it's not like the two of them can BEAT Extalia either, being a weak Exceed and a staff loli. Everyone else is otherwise occupied.
>>41333SUGARBOY CONFIRMED FOR BEST EDORAS CHARACTER
>>41341He's the Edoras Gildartz, of course he is.
The m,usic. The music is really the best there ever been for anime series. I mean holy shit. Against Juvia ad her flashbacks- It is just that great.
>>41360Gah! So... much... page breaking. Tone it down, mate.
Hold on. We've seen several flying cats that were people's alternate-universe counterparts, right?Does that mean Happy and his parents have human counterparts?What if they're people we already know?
>>41369Y'know I just wanted to say, I don't read Fairy Tail and just randomly browsing by your first sentence here was just...yeah...
>>41370Now you know hy this is such a Good series!
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/182-136/2Enjoy it, because with Golden Week we won't be getting chapters of it or anything else next week.
>>41595pffft hahaha
The further this goes, the less certain I am about the Exceed's ultimate role in this.
OW, MY HEART
>>41597I laughed, REALLY HARD.>>41605Aaaaaand now Sad, REALLY SAD.
Also, this part was way better than in the manga.
>>41605Who is this? I don't remember exactly from the manga.
>>41611Lisanna, Elfman and Mirajane's little sister.
>>41609 Don't you mean that the entire episode was better than the manga? Why can't A1 animate all fights like Natsu vs Gajeel?
>>41640Budget. They're pretty clearly a very talented team of artists running on just this side of no money. So they cut corners where they can to save the money for where it really counts, and make up for it elsewhere with excellent sound work.If the show is a ratings success, it may get an expanded budget and thus look better. It's how these things roll.
FUCK YEAH OLD MAN
>Fairy Law is invokedI Fuck Yeah'd at that scene.
>>41841I was Fuck Yeahing long before then, but I DID toss in an extra one when I saw the Fairy Tail symbol at the center of the magical circle.
>>41856 I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't.
this is an awesome anime/manga and this thread deserves to be on the front page just like Bleach and Naruto
Oh god I kept grinning like an idiot whenever Juvia showed up this episode.
>>4226830 BABIES! <3
I hope Natsu kicks his fucking teeth inalso Coco needs to join Fairy Tail after this so I can have more of her cuteness
>>42334in my mind she's a little girl with no parents that the king took in back before he went crazy and after the fall of the kingdom she's all sad and crying and she gets an invitation to join Fairy Tail from somebody and gets all happy. It would probably be the Edolas Fairy Tail though.
>>42334also one more thing, the king uses lightning magic of some sort, he's boned in a fight against Natsu.If a lightning dragon slayer couldn't do it there's no way a carrier type lightning mage has a shot against Natsu
Natsu couldn't beat Laxus in a one-on-one fight, though. I'm calling it, Coco is a Dragon Slayer who wound up in Extalia after her Exceed, Pantherlily, retrieved her from Earthland. But Pantherlily didn't want to kill her and they escaped to Edolas.
Good lord, Natsu.Also, I hope Lucy whups some ass. Coco's just too cute.
>>42350Is it just me, or was Natsu looking kind of different in this chapter (not just that pic)? Something about his hair maybe?
What do you guys think Lucy will summon against Byro?Taurus, Cancer, Sagittarius and Leo haven't been summoned yet in this arc, so I'm guessing it'll be one of them.
>>42391ALL WRONG!PLUE CONFIRMED FOR BRAWL!
So apparently Lucy's imagining of Natsu as romantic interest... makes him looks like Erza.That's pretty Freudian of ya, Lucy.
>>42544You make it sound like a bad thing.
>>42544
>>42544... I don't remember this panel...
>>42556Mangafox updated with a cute omake. It's got to do with shipping and lack thereof.
>>42558Whiiiich I see is kinda hidden in the chapters, so here's a direct link: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fairy_tail/v09/c071.5/
>>42558It's an omake from volume ten. Mira basically trolls Lucy into thinking that Natsulikes her. Lucy's imagination takes it from there.Naturally, nothing of the sort is going on.
This thread reminded me I had a few episodes to catch up on.I know it's been said before but GODDAMN YOU GUYSTHIS SOUNDTRACKYOU GUYSTHIS SOUNDTRACKGODDAMN
>>42560Mira is actually still a sadist but instead of being physical she uses her God-tier trolling abilities to torture people.This is one of many reasons she is my favorite girl is Fairy Tail, and that's saying a lot.I wonder if she trolled Natsu like that when Lisana was alive.Why do I always feel bad for Natsu when I think about Lisana?Am I a shipper? -Monolouge of Anonymous
>>42572Lisana's story instantly brings me to tears, when I saw how she ACTUALLY died (thinking it was a magic portal or poofing to dust or something) I was totally crushed when she went Ragdoll.
>>42567Seriously.
You know who confuses the fuck outta me? Kana.I mean, as a character she's pretty straightforward, but how Mashima intends to use her.We've yet to see anything focused on her, and her one battle was being curbstomped completely offscreen, but I can't tell if that was deliberate because she's being saved for something later or just because she's never going to be relevant to anything.
Continuing my reread, hey I just noticed that in later chapters one of Gajeel's nosebolts disappears without explanation.What's up with that?
>>42621It's probably hanging out with Nirvana's extra two legs.
If you didn't listen to the latest chapter while playing The Raider's March, you are a faggot.
Also goddamn Luxus your magic looks extra kickass when animated.
>>42692Ahem.http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/21077968/1Of all the time I've suddenly found the urge to shout "SHORYUKEN", this made me feel the least dumb.
>>42695Virgo you said all you could do was dance!
>>42695If this doesn't produce some /d/ doujins, I will have lost faith in Japan.Also I could not understand him under that idiotic lisp.
This chapter had so much cheesecake. I think I've put on weight reading it.
Also, what's with Gray and motorcycles?
>>42710I dunno, man, there was certainly fanservice (and refreshingly well-drawn fanservice, too), but it wasn't that bad. I mean, compared with any given chapter of (for example) History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi...
>>42712In the future, magic fights will take place on motorbikes
>>42745MAGIC FIGHTS ON MOTORCYCLES!
So apparently Mashima developed the Stellar Spirits first for another manga series that never took off.Sneak peek at Libra!
Oh god hair over one eye.
New chapterhttp://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/90806966/1
>>43238You're pretty cool, Gray.Hopefully next chapter will be Gajeel vs. Pantherlily.
>>43238Wait, what? If the only thing important about the key is its physical shape, why would it be so hard to replace?
>>42769If that's really Libra's power, then she'll fit in well with the theme of "Lucy's Stellar Spirits love giving her a hard time"
Sugarboy has the best facial expressions, but that's a given since (1) it's Fairy Tail and (2) his name is Sugarboy.
>>43242Presumably they don't have highly accurate creation magic? I mean, what we've seen so far has usually been modifying what already exists, not making it from scratch.
>How the hell are you gliding anyway?>Hm... I don't know either.Sugarboy for fucking awesome tier.
>>43259Fairy Tail is the first manga where I've actually exclaimed out loud "WHAT" or "WHYYYY?" at the computer.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/83663107/2
>>43464"I'm gonna make him my cat!" Now that's something you wouldn't want to hear in a Southern accent.Also Erza oh nooo.
>>43465Oh please, that's an "Aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper" ploy if I've ever seen one.

>>43464HAHAHAHAHAHAMe and my friend were joking around about Pantherlily for Gajeel's cat and HEY WHADDYA KNOWAlso I like how being promoted to good guy hasn't made his laugh any less crazycreepy.
Eeeee these kitties!Cat with boobs was kinda disturbing, though.
LOOK AT HOW HAPPY THESE MOTHERFUCKERS ARE! THEY BOTH JUST FOUND THEIR NEW BEST FRIEND!
While we're on the topic, why didn't Gazille get a cat initially? Presumably Queen Shagotte would have wanted him dead, too.Unless Gazille, like, got the egg and ate it. I could see that.
>>43466I agree with this theory: Really, if Edo Erza was that tired from fighting Earth Erza, how would she beat Natsu and Gray? Erza is probably still more powerful then either of them under most conditions, but not so much that an enemy that can barely beat her at full health can easily beat them both even when tired. Plus, why in the hell else would the entire fight be off screen?Hey, wait a minute... I wonder if Erza used Ex-quip to "claim" Edolas outfit so she could regularly use it (if she had a reason to). Also, Edolas Erza is laying around somewhere naked..>>43467Off by one post.>>43476I am REALLY hoping this goes the way Gajeel hopes.>>43480Maybe it will be answered if some of Gajeel's backstory is elaborated on.
>>43480Oh wait, OR Gajeel is right and Pantherlily really is the cat meant to be his partner and they never met because he defected from Extalia while on the mission.
Yeah that's clearly Earthland-Erza. She has the cut on her cheek rather than across the nose, and no smears of blood.
>>43486Yep
>>43485That would be awesome. BFFs at long last!
>>43491Coco and Panther Lily for fairies!PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE MASHIMA!
While watching the anime I keep hearing tracks that are not on the soundtrack.Anyone know if they are going to release a part 2? I MUST HAVE DELICIOUS MUSICSThe tune playing during Loke's fake but not really confession is particularly nice.
Well I thought it was cute.
Stellar Spirit King is extra bro in the Anime.
>>43958His mustache seems to be cultivated nose hair now though.
>>43961I don't know why, but it made me giggle like a School girl.
>Gray-sama was inside Juvia>I-inside?>Not inside you... Inside Juvia!Oh god, I can't wait for the doujins.
>>43988Juvia is so hilariously adorable.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/88415087/1
Holy crap, Coco can summon and control a giant flying demon!?
>>44019AAWWWW YEAHI wonder if Knightwalker is going to be a permanent character? The whole cutting the hair thing gave me that vibe.
>>44020I think they're just exotic mounts in this world.
>>44024I'll show you an exotic mount.
>>44019Ho shit, Nightwalker is a badass.
>>43484Also, Edolas Erza is laying around somewhere naked...Congratulations you won!And with this we ALL win
>>44066>Also, Edolas Erza laying around somewhere naked...
It's go time.http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/92690689/2
>>44555This seems a little rushed but it's certainly much easier to believe that the mascot race are a bunch of con artists rather than evil executioner overlords.
>>44555saw it comingalso Sephiroth's pet kitty taking over the world is awesome.
>>44555Queen Shagotte's dress... so froofy.Also cats with racks still disturbs me. It goes beyond the furry boobs level of disturbing - they're just so chibified it's weeeeird.
I thought Shagotte was kinda hot.Stop turning me into a furry, Mashima
>>44555So.....The Cats have no real power except for flight, thus this is a boneheaded plan that would ultimately only end up wasting the power of Fairy Tale, or is it the Energy of the collision with the Land that would ultimately provide the Infinite magic and it doesn't require the Cats to have any real Magical ability?
So, they told me Fairy Tail hentai will pop up as soon as the anime hits.It's been a while now and almost nothing. What's happening /jam/? :(
>>44715While it's immensely popular among kids and young teens, the twenty-something moe crowd pretty much ignores it. And those make 99,9% of the customer base of hentai artists.
>>44717WE MUST DO SOMETHING, I can't let it end like this, so much potential..
>>44723Have patience. With any long-running serial that can keep people interested the teenagers who started reading the series when it was new eventually become old enough to start making and buying doujinshi about the series.
Hoteye is a fatty.
New EpisodeJuvia, you are hilarious.And I cried like a bitch for Erza.
>>44812Racer is still the fastest.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/55277344/2
>>44839BITCHES NEVER DIE, THEY JUST MULTIPLY
>>44840HO SHIT, That explains Mistgun.
>>44840Dammit... I love Evil!Erza.
>>44839Noooooo Pantherlily!I'm guessing it's not fatal, though. He's too cool to be oneshotted like that.
Im gonna lol when gazille dives after pantherlily disregarding the fact he can't fly while mistgun simply puts all the edoras mounts to sleep in mid air
I have this sneaking suspicion that the pills that most of the Earth mages took are gonna run out at an incredibly inconvenient time.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/36042857/1God, that's a creepy face.
>>45155No Wendy, you cannot pull off a "menacing" stance, I don't know why you're even trying on that last page.
God I love shonen. SHIT GUYS THE KING IS NOW A DRAGON MECHA hahahaaaaKnightwalker is rocking the bob, though.
ALL I CAN DO IS THINK OF BITCHIN' GUITAR RIFFS AND HEADBANGIN'
>>45155FUUUUUCK that chapter was amazing. I really love everything about the Dragon Mecha.
>>45155I jumped around like an idiot when Wendy got to attack something other than a stationary rock!
So guys, I've been watching instead of reading, and while I absolutely love the show...WHY DOES ITS OPENINGS KEEP SPOILING EVERYTHING? IT'S LIKE EVERY SINGLE ONE SHOWS UP AN ARC TOO EARLY
>>45640I was wondering that myself, it's weird.
>>45640>>45641It seems Anime adapted from serialized manga seems to be increasingly made with the assumption that most of the audience already read the manga. Just look at any of the recent openings for some other shonen series.
Where is this week's chapter?
>>45782Off-week, probably.
New opening credits.
>>45810And Gray got skipped. I'm laughing, here.
>>45813Skipped for the ending, I mean.
>>45810Already?Are they just switching it up every arc or what?
>>45815By the time we actually got to Erza's arc, the opening about her arc was switched out. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG HERE.
>>45821The guy who make the credits are actually ALIENS FROM THE FUTURE!
There is a chapter this week. Just not on Mangastream. Wendy kicks surprising amount of ass.
>>45859http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/191/
HNNNNNGHHHHHHHH
>This is bullshit!Faust is the new reactionimage source for Fairy Tail
I literally stopped reading right when I saw it so I could save it. I don't usually bother making reaction images myself, but this was too good to pass up.
>>45881Since no one has bothered with the Mangastream link yet.http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/58003432/2

>>46050S-So beautiful!
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fairy_tail/c192/1.htmlAnother new chapter, once again not on mangastream first.I loved how when the guild rushes the soldiers at the end most of them aren't using anything but freaking lead pipes and shit.
>>46166RETURN OF THE FOOTSWORD TECHNIQUE! ZORO, YOU HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO!
Why'd you get out of your car, Bizarro Natsu? Just run the soldiers over!
>>46167DAMMIT, WHY IS THIS HOT
>>46171Why Mindwipe? do you really need to ask?
>Fairy Tail Ep 40 RAWWhat the fuck? We haven't even got Ep 38 or 39 yet.Natsu vs Jellal is fantastic, by the way. Makes up for the stick figures Juvia attacked a couple episodes back.
Also, I'll just leave this here.
>>46209OH hello, Volume 2.
>>46209>Click the 'Download full OST link>Link is brokenNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>46215Fuck yes finally a chance to get the new son-NOOOOOOOOOOOWell at least I can listen to them.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ga6cwe48pfjgj9rGuess what I got
>>46267>No servers are currently available with this data on them>Please retry your request in a momentFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
So I wonder if they're going to release the couple of covers they've done of those pre-existing songs. Can they do that in the first place? I'm assuming they're out of copyright by now.
I'm current with the manga and just got started on the anime, so I have to ask.Does it get any better about the stock footage and censoring? Because it sort of comes off as the producers having blown all their money on the voice talent.
>>46426YES, it gets to the point where some episodes are better than some manga chapters.
>>46428About when does that kick in? I'm on episode 10 now.
>>46430Right about 16 to 20-ish.
>>46426Definitely in terms of stock footage. There was a fuckton of it at the beginning, but they've since weaned themselves off of it.The fight between Makarov and Jose will make you shit so many bricks.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/88893498/1
>>46453Gratuitous SexyFight!
>>46453Juggling a sword from your foot to your hand? Wow, when Grievous did that he at least had prehensile feet. This is official the second most insane sword style I have ever seen.
>>46430Ep 9 is where the animation's shittiness peaks so everything else should be fine.And we got an Erza episode this week as well. They managed to make the Purgatory Armour less shitty than it was in the manga by letting Erza use it a bit before it got destroyed.
This was amazing. Ezra just became one of my favorite characters out there.
>>46457KISS! COME ON, DO IT! DO IT DO IT DOOOOO IIIIIIIIIT!
>>46457Dangit, that was a beautiful speech, Erza, but I could hardly pay attention because of all the blood draining from my brain.
>>46455She's done the swordfoot trick before, hasn't she? Against Evergreen, IIRC.
>>46475She's been tossing around swords with her feet before, but this is the first time we've seen her juggle them.
Give me one good reason why Erza vs Erza didn't end in hatesex. That's right, you can't.
>>46528They were literally unable to move.
>>46530Only in the shitty ending.
>>46525Yeah, that's what I meant. I knew we'd seen sword-in-feet before (though I couldn't remember the specific instance until you posted that), I was talking about the juggling.
>>46531Only if you assume nothing happened in between the panels we saw.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/55479040/3
>>47045Loooong chapter.So that's why Wendy and Gajeel's dragons look like.
Grandine apparently looks like a Warcraft III Faerie Dragon.Also, just picked up volume 11. Turns out Mashima redrew the Purgatory Armor panel for the volumes.
Why won't Mashima just drop the pretenses and make it a yuri series?
>>47053There is plenty of male/female fanservice or shipteasing as well.
>>47054Does anyone actually care about it?
>>47055Not really.
CAAAAUGHT IN A LAAAANDSLIDENO ESCAPE FROM REALITY~
>>47059Apparently you and I share a mind.
>>47060I guess that explains why everyone says I'm a halfwit.
>>47045Aw, the attack name fonts are cuuuuute.
>>47045I love how healthy Lucy looks in that color spread. Like an actual woman and not some kind of anorexic space alien. Mashima knows his anatomu.
Dangit, all I could think about during this chapter was parodies.
>>47116Yeah...
>>47045Good lord, Lucy's boobs keep getting bigger in each story arc. She's been affected by the Nami syndrome.
>>47148I dunno, she's alway had exceptional mammaries.
I just found out Mangastream only keeps recent 5 chapters and there aren't many ddl sources. I should take shorter breaks in my manga reading.>>47148And what a glorious syndrome it is.
Hey guys, how fast is the show catching up to the book? Just curious, as I am not really allowed to read the series.
Ehh, it's going about 2 arcs behind the manga, Why can't you read the manga?
>>47148Hm, I haven't noticed them growing. They've always made up the majority of her body weight to me.
>>47171Started watching with a friend, and he doesn't want to read ahead, so he doesn't want me to read ahead earlier. Nothing big, I thought we were WAY more behind.
NEW CHAPTER UPhttp://www.mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/42922168/1
>>47425Yeah so Mistgun that's a great sacrifice you've got going and all but ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?
>>Hiro Mashima interview, 2008>Are there any manga, anime, shows, that you currently get inspiration from?>Hm ... if it's Japanese animation ... Code Geass.Goddammit Mashima.
>>47425Know what'd be awesome?If this wasn't just accepted as a resolution, and we wound getting a whole 'nother story arc out of our various heroes & redeemed villians running around trying to resolve things in ways they could accept.
>>47429Oh, there's no way this is going to be the resolution. I mean, come on, it's Fairy Tail. My prediction: Erza is going to punch the SHIT out of Mistgun to keep from losing a comrade again (Given that she had to watch Gerard be taken away). Or Natsu will do it because this isn't what Guild mates let each other do.
>>47430>Or Natsu will do it because this isn't what Guild mates let each other do.It also helps that well, look at the title of the next chapter.
The sky dragon is so cute and feathery...
>>47430>>47431My point wasn't about whether that specific resolution ocurred, it was about whether we'll be wrapped up and starting a new arc in 2-4 chapters or not.
>>47426Agreed. Mistgun what the fucking fuck?
>>47436He's Edo Gerald, were you expecting him to be sane?
>>47490By Edolas logic, yes?
>>47507I rationalized him as being crazy zealot good, as opposed to homicidal sociopathic evil.2 sides of the same fucked up coin.
>>47809Yeah, I can dig that.
C78 comes through.
>>48102Came through with horribly malformed breasts.Still, it's something.
>GustNO.
>>48102>GustDAMMIT WHY
I'm not clicking whatever it is, what's Gust?
>>48112It's the artist of that pic, who they don't like.
>>48113There are people that LIKE Gust?
The anime just reminded me, why couldn't Natsu get through that Barrier? Or was that not revealed yet?
>>48145Still hasn't yet, though it's pretty obvious it has something to do with being a Dragon Slayer (given Gajeel couldn't get through either.)In fact, I sort of wonder if they (as in the members of Fairy Tail) forgot about that, and wonder if they'll try to get the barrier guy (what was his name again?) to try and find out exactly how old his magic considers them and if it does the same with Wendy.Personally, I suspect they're either reincarnations/rebirths of dragons or they were put in some sort of stasis where they didn't physically age but the magic still counts them as that old.
Something I've been wandering: has it ever been clarified if the Ex-quips Erza uses that are damaged/destroyed can be repaired with getting a new set entirely?
>>48155This sequence needs to ed with a sideways pan over to the Gurren Lagann, which gives a thumbs-up.
>>48155Most badass magical girl.
WAO~Chinese scans of 196 is out. From guesswork, the Dragon Slayers seem to pretend to the public that they stole Edolas's magic by defeating their king while Mystogan and Pantherlily argue.They also try to pose as monsters. Pic related.
>>48179Hahaha, that's great.
>>48179Goddammit Wendy stop being so fucking cute... My heart can't repel D'aww of this magnitude
>>48179Gazille confirmed for Bro Tier.
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/61332782/2De chapter is here!
>>48180Yeah, that's just adorable.
I am smiling from ear to ear, here.
>>48188This plan is the best plan
SUPER DAW CHAPTER
I had to do it.
