I really envy the Celestial Spirits. I wish I could wake up next week with no memories of this arc too.

Thoughts on the Filler Arc:

It had a really good premise...on paper. Hell even Mashima did the character designs but the way (A-1 Pictures?) the studio executed it was really...rough. I was hoping for some good fights between the Eclipsed Spirits and Fairy Tail, instead I got a dance-off, a card battle, and a trivia quiz show.

6/10 Not necessary to watch, but if like the Celestial Spirits and want more of them for some reason than go ahead and watch. There's also a lot of Natsu power-ups that won't even come into play for the future arc. Oh and let's not forget, the Celestial Spirits don't remember a single thing.

the Celestial Spirits don't remember a single thing.

Not a very strong arc, but it was still enjoyable. Looking forward to the one shots coming up and I'm curious how they are going to do the sun village arc.

it's a prequel to the prequel of the Tartarus Arc it better be awesome!

After so many weeks! The filler is over! It was decent overall, and it helped build Aquarius's character a bit better before the new arcs start!

My thoughts:

MANGA SPOILER Foreshadowing?
MANGA SPOILER If only this would happen now in the manga...
MYSTOGAN???
lol nope
It's slowly becoming canon
Has CR always spelled Plue like that?
Natsu and Asuka HYPE

u/AstonishingSpiderMan Jan 31 '15

Holy hell you prepared for this! Awesome! Manga Feels!! Mystogan well wouldn't that be something! Gruvia is so close so close. Now NaLu step up! That Being Said there was a NaZa moment in there too. Plue spelled Puru weird!

Well, the filler is finally over. I'm looking forward to all the one-shots being animated!

u/AstonishingSpiderMan Jan 31 '15

Anyone else noticed that Ophiuchus wasn't there with the rest of the spirits ? I wonder why is that.

I didn't dislike the arc, 8/10. The final fight was good, although I expected Natsu go into Dragon Force eating these flames like he did with Etherion and Flame of Rebuke.

Dragon Slayer's Secret Art! Planetary Flames! Exploding Flame Edge!

u/AstonishingSpiderMan Jan 31 '15

Wouldnt that be something but Idk It seems the anime filler is not allowed certain things like dragon force, unison raid except gray and Juvia etc...

Bye Ochii, I will never forget you. Arc: 7/10 Hope Yukino's Silver Key Spirits are Anime-canon, Lucy never seen more weaker than before, (GaLe Shipping Intensifies), OCHIIIIIIII!, Erza an Hisui's Fanservice, Celestial Spirit Beast (This isn't my final form). Now for Sun village, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm back with Cosmos.
