mtgowns said: I feel bad for the fellas who eagerly anticipated each episode as they came along. Because gods forbid someone enjoyed an expansion and explanation being given for certain manga characters. At least the Daphne arc was like 4 episodes long, so it wasn't such a waste. But to give the audience eight hours of a story that is marginally more riveting than the single player playthrough of Smash Bros. Brawl... Still not getting on WHY these things are inserted, right? Prepare for another far longer anime original arc after GMG then. At least in this case the filler arc was relevant to the ongoing stuff in the manga, interesting on its own, and full of foreshadowing for upcoming events. And I swear whoever came up with the Butt Gang idea should get diarrhea. Oh that would be Hiro Mashima. The author of fairy tail. He created those characters some time ago in that another quite well received manga of his. Quite a few people found those guys hilarious back then. |

| Well..This was a truly emotional (for me) episode, since it was about Lucy and Michelle. We got to see who michelle really was and her past, how she knew Lucy. It was to see that she ended up back how she was, a doll. But I am happy that in the end she got to be with Lucy forever. But I was hoping that some way she could have been turned human again. I really liked her crybaby, gluttonous, and clumsy self. And her relationship with Lucy i loved the most. Natsu, but with the help of everyone else, and lucy herself, saved her. Erik got to meet his friend, the snake, Kinana. I wonder what will happen with those two later on. Kinana is a lovely character. Stupid, and annoying Romeo sneaked on the boat to "help" save Natsu and Lucy. Was totally useless. I don't know why we need a 2nd Natsu. I love Natsu, I don't need an annoying Natsu wanna be kid. Well I loved this arc, especially because it gave importance to Lucy, and her sister. and apparently the next episode is a wrap up of the filler and then some other arc will begin. yay! especially since I am watching all of Fairy Tail back to back, until I catch up of course. :D |

| finally.... over !!!!!! so i'm sad we won't get to see more of angel... she went kinda insane, but apart from that i've always liked her character if i remember correctly she won't appear in the manga again, but maybe in the future? who knows angel, yukino (didn't appear in the anime yet) and meledy are kinda alike i think i'm definitely not satisfied by the cobra+kinana end, they could've done a much better job, that was kinda lame + this whole arc i was waiting for lucy to become that shooting star and natsu chasing after her and i think they could've done a much much better job.. was waiting for a really nice natsu x lucy moment, but it was okay nontheless, definitely the best and most beautiful moment of this whole arc |
 |
| not such a gud arc. but the final episode brought in emotions. humor was missing 2wards the end. the background story really wasn't dat interesting. could have added more twists in the story.the fact that natsu doesn't train, but still defeats the bad guys, is starting to get irritating. overall, i'd say dat dis wasnt the best arc. i liked the previous ones better. |
 |
| Well that filler arc was a huge pain in the ass. Glad it's over. |

| As a NaLu fan... hell as a Natsu fan, I was severely disappointed in the lack of emotion Natsu showed throughout this whole arc. I mean sure, we get all the friendliness, irritation, and cute moments, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't find any really convincing facial expressions from him. Maybe it was just the artwork, but he didn't seem at all like the REAL Natsu. There was none of the raw emotion. No scary "Oh shit you've woken the dragon" moments. No heart-wrenching tears. Nothing felt real, so I didn't feel any deep emotions while watching any of this arc. Heck, even the despair didn't seem that real, especially when you compare it to the Edolas arc. Plus it didn't help that I was constantly reminded "Oh yeah, this is filler, so nothing permanently bad can happen". The end was especially anticlimactic for me. I mean sure, I felt a little bit of hope when he went running to catch Lucy, but it was dashed as soon as I saw the next frame. There was no tears of happiness, no warm hug. Just an idiotic smile and a blush. Hell, I didn't even see physical contact throughout the whole moment. He seemed much more worried and serious when Erza during the Gerard arc, or when the guild got beat up during the Phantom arc. Speaking of Lucy, she was ok, but there wasn't much of her usual spunk. She seemed like a total wimp in this arc and I hated it. All she did was stand in the sidelines and she didn't even TRY to call on Loki (although she did try Caprico, but it failed). Why does she keep on using Aquarius when she knows a) she'll be angry and b) Loki would be 100x more effective and useful in a fight. Blargh, I know it's just filler, but for something that's also canon, I was expecting more. And for those of you who say "this was better than Naruto filler" I say fuck no. Naruto filler never seemed like filler to me. They didn't suddenly change the animation style / artwork or make characters do things they wouldn't normally do. This anime has been a big disappointment for me from the start, but I still watch it because I love the characters and original story to death. On a more positive side, I actually liked Samuel and Dan in this arc. Dan reminded me a bit of Gourry from Slayers, which made me smile. He also sparked a slightly jealous reaction from Natsu (although, as I mentioned earlier, Natsu's reactions didn't seem all that in-character where it counted). Samuel was a pain in the ass, but he didn't seem to lord it over FT as Hughes and Sugar Boy did, nor was he as OP. I also liked Romeo's involvement, especially since it seemed to spark Natsu to learn a bit more about his own fire. So, yeah... those are my thoughts. TLDR version: This filler just didn't feel right at all (artwork, animation, comedy, emotionally), but I liked Dan, Sammy, and Romeo as characters. |

| A great conclusion to a meh arc. These last few episodes were not too bad! :) |
 |
| Well that was a decent ending of this arc! And well it ended with a good end even for the enemy like Cobra and others! But it's good Lucy is alright and well the backstory in the beginning sure was touching! Either way lets see what the next 25 episodes have to offer! |
 |
| This was my least favourite arc of Fairy Tail but I still enjoyed it enough to give it at least a 6.99/10. Good ending. |
| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
| I laughed when Michelle attacked the staff thing. He probably thought he was home free. I do hope Cobra and that girl reunite :/ |
| Well I'm really glad that's done and over with, took over 1.5 years to finally pull through that arc but I did it. Mediocre fights, got to see the worst of each FT character's one dimensional ideology about friendship, and a boringly dragged out story. But despite that, I do like how this arc fleshed out Lucy's character more and really helped tie up everything between her and her father. The addition of Michelle was nice too. I also like how the reunion between that girl and Erik wasn't some happy go lucky everyone wins, the bittersweet element of him finally meeting her again and her remaining in the dark on it was a nice touch. Well hopefully things finally get interesting again, I really want to see Zeref again. |

| Breaking a spell that had things in a chrysalis-like state, things breaking up in different parts and fly off in different directions, attack with help from spirit family.. Sounds an awful lot like DBZ this episode |
| So this arc finally ended,had a great time wacthing it and it was pretty good,now let's see what this show has to bring next. |
  |
| The ending was amazing Lucy x Michelle <3 She always loved her even being a toy... Now it's time to discover the original Michelle (who was brought by Gildarts). Cobra x that girl,know she knows that he called her. Natsu as always <3 Amazing fight :D I don't care what others say but Natsu s Lucy must happe,it just must!Look at them,their relationship is unbelivable,Natsu alway gets motivation when he thinks about Lucy and he always saves her "alone",my favourite couple in FT.<3 |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Pretty touching ending for a filler arc. |
My Candies:     |
| Uwaahhh. Finally i got that whatever-these-odd feels again while watching FT. I always love when they play at your emotion like this. So, that's the story behind Michelle and Lucy's Papa. So heartbreaking. And finally Natsu kicking some ass. Nice catch there, Natsu. You just know which shooting star to catch. Now I satisfied with my share of Nalu to last for a weeks. <3 |
| Google first, ask later |
| Well I didn't dislike the ending but glad that it is over. Onto the games!! |
 |
| It ended fast, it felt decent, I felt a bit bad for cobra. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Finally out of the fillers! Next arc! |
| Hi there |
| the arc was really slow to get started, but i like the way they wrapped it up. the power of friendship wins again! go shounen themes :p |
| Great ending to the arc! Grand Magic Games hype <3 |
| a perfect end for this filler..overall, it wasn't bad..probably the last episode was the best ; the feelz and that sweeeeeeeeeet nalu moment >////< |
| The first half was relatively nice. It was emotional, but it didn't really resonate with me. The fight with Midnight was ridiculously cheesy and hilariously anti-climatic. But man, Cobra is so damn cool. His moment with Kinana was by far the best part of the episode. So I guess this is the end? It was a fine enough finale, but the conclusion was rushed. The arc was shit overall. It had its moments, but it could've delivered a lot more than what it did with its potential. Since it's a pseudo-filler I'll forgive it, but the next arc had better dang well be better. Contrary to popular opinion, the Michelle subplot was probably the most interesting (and moving) part of the arc. Even it wasn't executed as well as it could've been, but it worked better than most everything else. Note how we didn't receive any resolution regarding the real Michelle Lobster. Random thing I noticed: the manga readers seem to have been more likely to enjoy this arc while the anime-only watchers were more likely to hate it. Coincidence? |

| So they hyped the Kinana and Cobra meet up and we get Cobra leaving so easily. They didn't explain Kinana's curse or even lift it. And what about the other Michelle that was in a coma. They just show her and then forget about her. What was the point of the real one then? At least the filler arc is done. |
 |
| Final of the filler act! Really confusing in the beginning, but turned out really amazing act. Quite emotional as well at the end as well ;-; Specially having Cobra and Kinana meeting finally and straight separation right after.. awww... Kuso.. Michelle was here little doll, and quite emotional tbh. Great Final even tho. Next up a sabbertooth? who tat |

| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| "I know you and [Dad] have had your difficult times, but that's normal in a family." Ew. EW. NO. Neglecting a child is NOT normal. Screw this filler arc. |
 |
| I am glad everything worked out in the end |
 |
| finally, it's over right? it's over right? cause I'm tired of this filler arc, so much nonsense |
| Somehow I like this kind of 'Evolving Credits' which add/swap Characters matching the changes in the Cast & Storyline (Sailormoon frequently did this, for example)... Now we know why there was a gap between Lucy's parents! :-D And seeing the Family Painting and even the 'Michelle' Plushie finally getting a place on her shelf once again… *sniff* Doesn't she look really happy now? |

| It's not that it was a bad arc but it just started out so slow and it didn't feel as exciting re-using old characters. Knowing how strong some of characters truly are compared to previous arcs it just feels like they we're messing around, not a big sense of urgency. But once it got going it was entertaining at least. |
 |
| Skimmed through this filler arc, and even then I must say the momentum they had after the Tenrou island arc lost its meaning completely. Should've went straight down to the canon material. But hey atleast these later episodes didn't make me sleep. Back to the main story from next episode, hope atleast it starts better. |
| I've never felt so much ain for a doll |
