Really calling them S-class was really just a poor attempt to build up tension where none would really exist
I figured PL just had lower standards for S-class As long as you don't die on an S-class mission after getting promoted, congratulations, you're S-class.

True, S-class is just something the guild decides you're ready for. PL probably doesn't care as much if their promising young members accidentally die on a mission above their level. It's not like the whole thing is standardized or anything, and using them as "power levels" like calling Natsu "usually A+" seems very silly to me.

Highlight of episode 43 has to be Natsu and Gajeel trying to fix up Erza together! and the second best moment is when Gajeel tries to walk confidently out the door and realises he can't. lol.

I'm gonna so miss FT when it finishes.

And only one out of Fairy Tail's Top F...Three rather, were present at the actual battle and she was the least experienced of them. Not to mention that MystGun was wiping the rest of the Phantom sub-divisions out by himself...yeah, Fairy Tail has the firepower to take over small nations.
Kind of lines up with Erza insulting Jose's information gathering abilities. I mean the guy had no idea that Fairy Tail had long surpassed Phantom in power. It was only that close because 2 of the top 3 weren't there (well Mystogan was crushing sub-divisions, but he did take a break for the final battle) and Erza had to play it defensive against Jupiter. Picking a fight was a pretty stupid move by Phantom that's for sure.

No it has not been confirmed. It's a possibility that this is the last arc they're adapting, but it has not been confirmed.

I hope so too but everything seems to point to an end. I hope they'd at least adapt all the finished arcs. If that's the case, we can still watch 2 more arcs before FT ends.

BTW, it's funny how Laxus didn't count Happy in as a fighting member of Fairy Tail. I just love these small moments of fun that the author is so good at inserting without ruining the serious mood.

I had NEVER read the manga and didn't find myself to be spoiled THAT much from this OP.

The only ones who are always complaining about spoilers are manga readers, I know that from my own experience since I had watched/read Naruto, Bleach and FMA.

Each series OP foreshadows something, only a manga reader will know how exact those foreshadowings are.

The Naruto OP showed Hinata, Ino and Sakura fighting Konan. Someone would say "What a spoiler!" when in reality none of that happened while some other fights from OP did happen.

You manga readers view it differently, so stop arguing with someone who DID NOT READ IT and knows exactly the feeling reaceived from the OP, stop being a smartass.
Nice try but I'm haven't read the manga either. And yet even as a non-manga reader I can tell that the OP is full of spoilers.

If the OP is showing events that will happen in the future in a way that it takes away the suspense/surprise/tension then it's clearly a spoiler. It happened with the previous OP too when it spoiled Juvia and it happened again when it spoiled Gajeel as an ally. It spoiled Mirajane getting her powers back and it spoiled some of the upcoming fights (with non-petrified girls). Just because you were expecting it doesn't make it less of a spoiler.

Not sure why you're trying to argue since as a matter of fact you're wrong.

Alright, after watching all those episodes I'm finally able to join in conversation with you guys. My impressions are as following.

Fairy Tails is one more entertaining animes I've seen of late and I'm surprised it doesn't have it's own sub forum.

I started watching Fairy Tail because someone told me it's a good fighting anime. I had mixed feelings when I watched first episode. It had nice music, lot's of funny moments with deformed character portraits and stiff animation. As I watched 2-3 more I feel in love. One of rare animes where not once was I irritated or I slapped my face because of some stupid plot twist or unexplained power up for main character. But even if it had those clichéd things I never really cared that I would get mad. I enjoyed every episode so far and I could watch it from beginning again to tell you the truth.

Soon after I started liking it because of it's plot, the characters and good music. The anime is just plain enjoyable.

None of the characters gets on my nerves which is really rare to see, and I usually hate main lead character in shonen anime. I'm really glad that girls are finally presented in good light, they really kick ass here.

So far my three favorites are Gray (I thought he would be a Sasuke rip-off but fortunately he has only his nice looks) Erza (she is gorgeous in every way, plus her music theme rocks) and Mirajane (don't know what her powers were but she looked like beast in flashbacks).

The only real downside of this anime are short fights and almost non-existent fluid animation.

I could say over 9000 things to this but I better don't. Let's just say that Gray is nothing like Sauceke.

How exactly can you get a WTF or OMG moment when you are expecting it to happen?

If you know that it will happen and then you get a confirmation to your theory, it is not a spoiler.

Now Bleach OP was a spoiler, it showed each detail of the fights, especially Ulquiorra's. And it showed the biggest part of shikais and bankais along with their powers. Now that's a spoiler, because I would never guess that Soi Fon would have a rocket launcher or Barragan would look the way he did.

'Expecting' and 'knowing' are two completely different things.

Oh come on, you have to be an idiot not to know that Mirjana would get her powers back or that Laxus would do something nasty.

Just because you expect it to happen, doesn't mean finding out it will do because of an OP isn't a spoiler. That's the point Eisdrache is making.

Ah geez whatever, I'm tired arguing with you people. If you are so freaked out by some minor comfitmations like Mirjana getting powers back, then simply stop watching OPs and then complaining later.

I never understood the whole spoiler problem, it's not the end of the world if you just got minor confirmation to your suspicion.

And out of curiousity I took a look at the two pages from manga to see Mirjana's powers and here is what I have to say... OP IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO SPOILING A THING THERE!

I probably didn't express myself well enough but I was trying to say that he isn't like him, not by personality nor by appearance. I compared the two characters cuz' I thought he will be like Sasuke's character you know. Good looking but I'll hate his personality to the core. And I was wrong.

I won't be able to stop myself from reading manga when I'm in need of a ''fairy fix'' thats for sure.

I've not read the manga, but it's certainly seemed to me that the Laxus vs. Mystogan battle was what the entire series has been building up to. Makes 43 a very exciting episode, but sort of lends credence to the idea that things may be wrapping up.

Nice shift from expecting to knowing after Shiroth pointed out that they are in fact not the same thing. ( ゚Д゚)

You are still confusing expecting with knowing. Of course all of us expected Mirajane to get her powers back sooner or later. The main gripe is rather that we didn't know when it would happen and the OP basically jumps at us yelling that it will happen in this arc. Yes that's infact a spoiler no matter how hard you try to argue that and no, it's not minor. Newsflash for you: We aren't only complaining about Mirajane, there are several other spoilers in the OP.
