#episode 328 fairy tail

[evildeadfan102]

I rewatched Fairy Tail episode 328.

I finished the DVD and Alvarez.

[threeletteredname]

Ok so, I just finished watching the 328 episodes of Fairy Tail and after watching it I was like 😟. Like, what am I gonna do now. I already missed them😭. The ending made me cry, omg. They'll be my forever comfort anime series. Nothing can replace it

[seza-and-her-exo-obsession]

Me: oh yay, Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest is getting an anime, time to rewatch the first series

Me a second later: *remembers the first series has 328 episodes* 😶

[glitchdecay]

i'm genuinely just having a stream of all 328 episodes of fairy tail running in the background rn

the number of seiyuu that are in this dang anime... shit hits different when you recognize them from other series since

Number 10 of my Junimation Countdown: Fairy Tail

Raise your pointer finger and thumb to the sky for the number 1 guild of Fiore. This manga turned anime by Hiro Mashima, also known for Rave Master and Eden Zero, has 328 mostly weekly produced anime episodes over 9 seasons excluding specials and movies between the 12th of October 2009 and the 29th of September 2019.

The story follows some of the core guild members (Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Happy,....) on their adventures, struggles and growth as mages of the Fairy Tail guild. During these adventures they come across threats who either worship or were created by a dark mage called Zeref.

Each of these core members and other main members of the guild have their own story to be told and played out. With great mysteries like the disappearance of the dragons, the entities known as Zeref and Acnologia and the origins of the Fairy Tail guild, you might not get immediately bored with most villains being overthrown by the power of friendship. I'm also a huge fan of the OST of this series.

YIPPIE YIPPIE i'm very thankful for your insight!!!

for me it does seem like he allows himself to be emotional (c'mon, it's natsu we are talking about, the moment he does not wear his heart in his sleeve is a great worry for the whole world) but it's more like he either doesn't question them (beyond obvious "he/she/it/they hurt my friends") OR does not allow himself to question it.

we know for the fact that igneel's disappearance took a huge toll on him, and when he joined fairy tail he stayed alone for the most part, even isolated i must say. i mean, being ridiculed for saying your parent is a dragon, for not being able to read missions, only lisanna made him feel welcome, really. and then lisanna died, and the only person left in the guild he was really connected to was happy!

(it could also be a reason for his fierce protectiveness of guild and his team and lucy, protecting every bit of companionship that he has by the skin of his teeth, because he was starved of it-)

as probable as it is for him to not realise the weight of his emotions, there is also a strong possibility that he consciously stops himself from realising them. because, if he actually took a dig at them, well, i'm afraid he would downright spiral! and thats a big no-no! we can't have ourselves being incapacitated and doubting (and actually depressed)! how then will manage to protect what's important for us! There Is No War At Ba Sing Se!

and oh boy, as you said, stack at it our unresolved identity crisis!

i've said it somewhere before, but we really lack any sort of arc that challenges natsu's character, like:

- we have galuna island for gray, where he is met head on with guilt over the fact that he was the cause of ur's untimely death.

- we have phantom lord arc for lucy, where she is battling her own guilt for bringing trouble to guild and feeling of inadequacy, that she later conquered by meeting her father face to face!

- we have tower of heaven for erza, with her survivor's guilt AND savior complex in regards to jellal.

- we have nirvana arc for wendy, where she learns that she can not only stay on sidelines, but also stand up for herself and fight!

- we have edolas arc for happy and carla, for fuck's sake! with the history of their own race and their conflicting feelings over it!

and what does natsu have? what arc can we call as his arc? where is his retrospection?

we had all of this for team natsu in a span of 100 episodes, and nothing like that for natsu to the 328 episode of Fairy Tail, and from 1 to the 170 chapter of Fairy Tail 100yq! isn't that insane? no wonder no one takes him seriously!

...uh, i realised i went off on a tangent here, oops. i hope you don't mind, really glad that you responded!

hi hi! i'm v-mo, the one behind "natsu's smart moments" posts! i've seen some of your posts and i enjoy them!!! and also you liked some of mine, so i wondered, do you have any thoughts on them? maybe there is some things i missed, or you have some advice to me?🥺🥺🥺

i'm just a little anxious about posting in fairy tail fandom, i haven't interacted with it for a very, VERY long time

so, yeah!

hope you have a good morning/day/evening/night!!

Hi!!! Gosh I’m so flattered you’re coming to me for evaluation🥹 Even if I’m 100% sure you’re covering more than I could even think of (I do however find it hilarious that team Natsu is just a herd of sheep that Natsu tries to keep from sacrificing themselves) (laughed very hard at that lol)

Lisanna was supposed to die and not come back, so her being beaten down to the bone is, just as you say, unlikely that she survived without problems. I live her but the animation team was foul for making Mashima brig her back to life

(That’s not about Natsu being smart, I realise, but you’ve covered that so well that I just read and nod along) (and I see now that you mentioned it in the tags😭 sorry I’m not the sharpest knife in the box)

Natsu is a very active person in general, so anything that gets him moving, is stuff that gets his brain into motion too. Fighting someone and using smell, sound, touch, experimenting with eating etherion (crystallised magic) and diving head first into things, gets him going.

A lot of people (me included) take the fact that he isn’t very analytical when it comes to emotions, and grab the “dumb” marker and starts putting it all over him. But even when he isn’t analytical, he still notices and cares for other people’s emotions. The fact that he’s rowdy, easygoing and has a bright demeanour shouldn’t result in getting called emotionally constipated.

He is emotionally constipated, but not for those reasons (his unresolved identity crisis however, howdy!)

Anyways I hope this sufficed as some insight! Natsu is such a complicated character to me bc it’s so hard to clock his intelligence. He CAN be smart and mindful and caring, but it’s like he has a block on himself that catches himself before he confronts his own feelings about it. Classic case of Emotion Bad But Anger Not Emotion ☝🏼🤠

True Couple!

While others toast, some still have their doubts as to whether it is true or not, we have those who call to drink ... And we have Freed. Already offering food and a massage, we already have a Laxus chosen?

[gineik-ch]

It was not a perfect anime, and your final season had a very bad animation in general, but it entertained me a lot for 10 years, forever Fairy Tail.

[holybakuhoe]

here comes the sun ☀️

[evildeadfan102]

Me & Jessica are rewatching Fairy Tail 2018 series.

We watched Episode 328

(Image Set 4 of 4)

[cartoonnickname]

The anime is over. But Fairy Tail will live on. Not just in the hearts of the fans who loved it, but in the spin-offs, the game, and the sequel that has everyone with their fingers crossed will get animated. 

The alverez arc has problems, everyone has an issue with it. Some of them let’s it wreck the entire series for them, I’m not one of them. If anything my appreciation for it will only grow more and more as time goes on. I feel it ends on a high note and finally diving into Acnologia’s backstory is nice to see. 

I guess the last thing to say is to give a simple thank you to Fairy Tail. Thank you for being there for me and inspiring me to, like my favorite character Lucy, want to tell my own stories. 

Most of this post is just me repeating what I said when the manga ended (hell, the initial plan was to find that old post and just add this as an extra reblog), so I guess I’d better end it with a similar quote:

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. 

It was, is, and always shall be... Fairy Tail.

[animeyanderetalker]

I just finished the Anime for Fairy Tail and I was hit with nostalgia😭. After 328 episodes it’s now over🥺. What a journey. I think I’ll try to collect the 100 Years Quests Mangas to continue reading and writing.

Also, in case you’re wondering…

This is the next Anime on my watchlist. Let’s see if I’ll be able to finish it before I open my inbox again. Supposedly Karma is popular, isn’t he?

[lucy-and-rebecca]

I know I'm feeding a troll but, oh the so called arguments nalu antis make are so stupid, doing this is actually kinda enjoyable. I'm going to discuss the profound bs that a nalu anti spewed on this post. I'll be honest, I want to do this.

So first we have this.

Wow. Just wow. So first of all, in my post I mentioned antis don't like that Lucy has other male love interests or male friends but it's okay if the male protagonist has a lot of love interest. I specifically said male protagonist because this thing isn't limited to Natsu and Fairy Tail. Whether Lisanna is over him or not is really not the point here. A girl had a crush on him. That's fine. It's both normal and realistic. Just like other male (and female, let's not forget Mimi) characters having a crash on Lucy is realistic and normal. How does Lisanna being over Natsu makes it okay to judge Lucy for just simply interaction with other guys? What does Lisanna being over Natsu has to do with anything?

Second, you have to be a special kind of idiot to actually believe that Lucy is actually Juvia's love rival. For most part I find Juvia's love rival obsession funny but overdone. It feels like fairy tail is mocking the trope of two love rivals fighting over a guy. One can argue that before Grey started seeing Juvia in a romantic way he had a small crush on Lucy. I can see that. But not once have I ever seen Lucy show romantic feelings towards him.

Third, who is Gerald? I assume they mean Jellal but like how does someone make that mistake? Their English seems good enough. So what gives? Also I kinda resent the implication that there only reason Erza doesn't see Natsu romantically is because she has another guy in her life. I mean they grew up together and he is like her little brother but no sure it's because she has Jellal, that's good enough reason I guess.

Next we have this.

I happen to ship GreyLu and even if you don't it's pretty clear that this person absolutely do not. It would take me maybe half an hour to find some actually cute (and canon) GreyLu moments, as opposed to whatever this is.

Here we have Juvia's paranoid fantasy. An unintentional magical mishaps on which they made a love rival joke. Was this necessary? No. Was it romantic? Also no. Lucy and Grey gossiping about blue Pegasus. Lucy teasing Grey about Juvia. And lastly are picture of Lucy standing next to Grey. I'm sorry was this supposed to show Lucy loves Grey? Were these moments supposed to be romantic?

(This is getting too long so more under the cut.)

I might be new to anime but I'm not new to fandoms in general. What makes ship wars so toxic is a lot of antis use a rival ship as an excuse to spread hate on the ship they don't like. This gives that ship and it's fans a bad name. I know this person is not a GreyLu shipper so please don't think all GreyLu shippers are like this. Antis use Lisanna in the exact same way they use Grey. And honestly she deserves better.

Alright up next

Oh the horror! Two entire moments of Nalu being annoyed with each other.

Not that I think this person has taken actual efforts into selection their most likely stolen screenshots but I'm really not surprised by the choice. Like I mentioned in my original post, antis don't like it that Lucy isn't meek, submissive little girl who just sits there and gets pushed around. Showing a screenshot of Lucy getting annoyed because Natsu asked her to summon a boat or a train spirit, the spirits that she doesn't have, just proves that point. I mean she is a person who has right to annoyed and angry. Plus fairy tail has 328 episodes, some 8-ish ovas, 2 movies, 3 crossovers, a bunch of side stories and a sequel which at the time of writing this post has 81 chapters. So if someone tried hard enough they can very easily find a shot ton of moments like these.

What's the point of taking random screenshots and posting them as a proof that NaLu is a bad couple. It will take me five minutes to find a dozen screenshots of Nalu being sweet. But whats the point. (beyond harassing nalu fans that is). We can do this all day. It proves absolutely nothing.

And Mashima has drawn a lot of art about NaLu. Pictures of then bickering and of them being sweet and cute. Nalu is not something you can sum up in two or twenty or even a hundred screenshots.

Grey's girlfriend? Seriously? Again how stupid does one has to be to believe that?

and finally the new obsession of antis edo NaLu.

I was puzzled about this one. Like edo Lucy was pretty rough with edo Natsu. If they had a problem with Lucy being annoyed with Natsu for five seconds then how come edo NaLu is better. Until I realized of course, since we only met edo Lucy for a very short time we don't know if she had other love interests.

Also please don't drag Juvia into this. The girl is a catch and she has dated another guy before she met Grey. Let's not pretend you give a damn about gruvia or Juvia's feeling when you called Lucy his girlfriend and used GreyLu to hate on NaLu.

I've said this in my original post and I'll say it again. Anti NaLu arguments are extremely misogynistic. This whole thing can be summed up by saying natsu-fan-nalushipper wants female lead to obsessively love the male lead, and have the male lead the only important guy in her life. Female lead should not have male friends let alone love interests. They want the female lead to be reduced to one of the many love interests male lead has. They don't like that Lucy doesn't fit that backwards misogynistic view of what a female character should be. She is not ""pure"" enough for Natsu. Hence the hate.

Top 100 anime of the decade!

My personal favorite 100 series that aired from 2010-2019. It was harder than I thought to narrow down the list! I have watched all of these (some multiple times) and would recommend them all! *Some of these are not inherently “good”, but were entertaining enough for me to include :9 **If I specify a season, then I probably dropped it at some point or watched all of it but didn’t like the later material ***Cutoff is October 2009. Unless there are multiple seasons, the majority of which aired after 2010.

Great animation (same studio as Demon Slayer). Great OST. Good story writing. Interesting premise. -Prequel series to Fate/Unlimited Blade Works -I hesitate to call it “historical”. But it includes many historical figures and mythos from a wide variety of the world and time periods. I have learned a lot of lore through the franchise and my own research.  -Those unfamiliar with Fate franchise, this is an acceptable starting point. My own first step into Fate (now I’m fully entrenched in lore).

2) From the New World(2012-2013): Psychological, Dystopia, Supernatural -25 -1,000 years in the future, after apocalyptic events, all remaining humans possess psychic abilities.

Saki and friends discover all the dark secrets of their society and human history. -Great character development. Fantastic worldbuilding. Great storytelling. Plot twists delivered well. Good story. -Plot twists are truly mind blowing. And really alter how you view the series. Grey morality explored and makes you question who is truly good or bad.  -Almost every main character is canon bisexual :9 -One of the best written villains I have ever seen. -Avoid the manga :/ 1) Durarara!! (2010-2016): Urban Fantasy, Drama, Romance -62 -Unique writing style. Great character development. Interesting character interactions. Good handling of a large cast. Multiple plot threads handled well. Good OST. Well rounded female characters. -No one “main” character. Just central characters the plot tends to revolve around. Multiple plots and charas are thrown around until they all come together in a very satisfying way. -I love series with a large cast. And DRRR handles it better than anything I have ever seen (which is why it’s my fav). The character progression through each arc is fantastic.

Special Mentions

Explores interesting concepts and supernatural powers and entities. Carole and Tuesday (2019): Drama, Musical -24 -I have not watched the recently released second half yet  -Great music. Charming characters. Good animation. FGO/Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia (2019-2020): Action, Fantasy -12+ -Still airing, reserving judgement until full adaptation is complete -Great OST, Fantastic animation, great story. -My favorite story from FGO mobile game. So far the adaptation is done great. Fight scenes translated beautifully.  Stars Align (2019-20??): Sports, Drama, Coming of Age -12 -Unfortunately series was cut halfway through production. Big cliffhanger waiting on unconfirmed second season. -Thoughtful handling of difficult subjects. Good characters. Nice art style. -Surprisingly dark at times. Sharp changes in mood. Kings Game (2017): Horror, Murder Game -12 -Awful. Hilariously awful. Incomprehensible.  -Truly baffling choices in direction and storytelling -Character motivations and actions absolutely unintelligible. -Actually watch it though. The roller coaster of terrible decision making and incompetence is a real treat to experience.

And with that, my top 100! Curating this list was a huge nostalgia trip. And very fun. Some older shows feel like they aired barely a year ago, while others feel like they’ve been around forever. Let me know if you watch something from my list! (Or message me if you want to know more about a series. I would love to talk about it.) Also send me recommendations! I obviously can’t catch every show ever aired, so if something’s good I would love to know about it. This decade or otherwise. If you read through everything, thanks so much! Happy New Year!
