[immblueversion]

I for one love the scenes in the manga where everyone is just hanging out at the guild and having fun. I even love those opening splash pages with characters posing and whatnot. It just makes them feel more alive, plus it provides so much expression in so little space. That and there are some background events that are flat-out adorable (you can spot Erza cuddling Asuka when they were last at their lodging and doing stuff). Some of the filler even has some cute moments (like Makarov giving Asuka a piggy-back ride and having this adorable grandpa-like smile on his face as the tyke pulled on his old man whiskers).
