I'm five episodes in and this is the stupidest, most derivative piece of shit I've ever seen
does it get better?
No.
>>139835591
the trick is to look at it not as a shonen with ample fan service but as an ecchi manga with an unusually large cast.
No, it infact gets worse over time. All the usual criticisms and trappings of long shonen manga apply here in spades. Filler out the ass, little to no character development across hundreds of eps, asspulls, etc.
No. It takes all sort of ideas from One Piece and Rave Master. Watch those instead.
>>139837507
Don't watch either, they're garbage too.
>>139835591
No point in continuing, this show had only 3 non shit arcs, best to just drop it.
>>139835591
Read the manga. The anime's pretty low-budget for the first 10 eps.
dude it gets so much better when they do a crossover with the payday gang and rob the harvest and trustee bank with 5 skulldozers outside
I wanted a show that could capture the feeling of watching middle of the road anime on TV back in the early 2000s. Even decided to watch it dubbed (something I pretty much never do).
To that effect it achieved its goal. Also the voice casting choices for the dub are...non-typical. A couple arcs in I started hearing the guy who voices Dr. Gero in DBZ:Abridged voicing a major supporting character.

Make sure you watched the Funi dub, and not the (reportedly terribad) Animax dub.
>>139835591
Just fast forward the bits with the following:
>nakama
>natsu fighting
>villains talking
>>139835591
No. Just download the OST, you won't regret it.
>>139841400
The QUALITY in both cases is pretty bad.
>>139835591
No, but the girls keep coming. With legs fo days and tits aplenty, you best warm up that hand of your's!
>>139841400
I'm watching the Funimation dub.
The "interesting" casting choices don't stop either. The perfume guy was actually a decent choice, the voice actor for him was actually one of the better ones so far. The Roosterteeth employees are the weakest casting choice though. Michael does a passable job by dub standards but Barbara just drops the ball.
hell yeah it gets better

And for those of you with patrician tastes there's the following:
Wendy
Levy
Mavis
>>139835591
-Lucy lucys are bigger ever arc
-Wendy exist in episode 100
-Erza never fuck natsu or another man
-The seven years timeskip was useless
>>139842490
Not really useless, we got Asuka out of it.
>>139835591
After the Laxus incident you stop watching for the plot and start watching for the PLOT
>>139842490
I still laugh at the absurd lengths that the story went to to make the timeskip inconsequential. It's like somebody told the creator that he had made some deal with the devil that would make the series successful so long as he abided by every generic shonen trope, and he really didn't want to bother with this one.
>>139835591
So did you fit in?
>>139835591
If you're not watching it for the fanservice then don't even bother.
They should have kept the magic circles.
The raid attack Cana and Juvia used was awesome.
>>139843110
I don't care for Fairy Tail, but the raid attacks were genuinely neat.
>>139835591
It really doesn't get any better. Literally the only enjoyment you'll get out of it is the omnipandering fanservice. You have to have absolutely no standards or expectations while watching this.
>>139843110
They were never in the manga anyway. It was just wasted time on animating.
>>139843921
>You have to have absolutely no standards or expectations while watching this.
This helps with anime in general.
>>139841665
so we're left with just fillers. still seems like a good idea actually
>>139839399
Why would you make this post?
