This thread is for those of you with questions about the Fairy Tail anime or manga. There are many questions that don't need a whole thread to discuss them. A simple practical answer straight from the anime or manga without any speculation can solve these connundrums. If someone has such a question about Fairy Tale which can be solved by answering with facts from an official source, then please ask that question here.
Please don't post in this thread unless you are asking a question or answering one. Please remember that it only takes 1 person to answer a question. And don't speculate! You can only reply with cold, hard, mercilessly unforgivable facts. If you have to speculate, then please just tell the querrant that no answer is known, but here are some facts that might help him make up his own mind. Make sure you use spoiler tags if your question is about the anime, manga, or any non-anime source. Untagged spoilers are risking a ban. There are two ways to create clearly marked spoiler tags, as shown in the following: The easy way: By simply clicking on this icon which can be found in the Quick Reply or Reply to Thread template. This is how I create spoiler tags. orThe macho way: By using those uber vB codes as shown in the following...

Lack of Gore Affects Fan Base?
Hello everyone,
I've been a long time manga reader and fan of the anime and just wanted to see what you guys think if they added blood/gore to the anime. In my opinion it's one of the factors that is not making fairy tail as much of a hit as One Piece/Naruto where in I really think it has that potential. I'm not saying Fairy tail isn't popular but leaving out the gore reduces the impact/emotional effect of what they are trying to convey in the anime. What do you guys think about that issue? Would adding gore/blood increase the fan base of Fairy Tail? |

In other words, while it might improve the series for the hardcore fans, it would probably shrink the general fanbase for the anime. Also keep in mind it's largely impossible to be as big a hit ratings wise as One Piece(usually in the top 5 competing with series that have been on forever), but it's not that far behind Naruto in the ratings either. There's a reason the series got a second season soon enough that they could just keep going from their originally planned endpoint without any interruption. |

Why do we have generic discussion thread instead of new topic for each episode ? Would it be THAT bad to create new topic for each new episode even if FT ends up running as long as One Piece does ? Even Naruto gets it's own threads for each new episode ..

I'd like to do some double-checking/confirmation about the timeline. If there's any corrections/changes you think should be made, please shout out.
I'm not looking for specific years, but I want to know the order of how the more major characters (of the "current" gen.) joined Fairy Tail. These are my thoughts right now (taken from the Fairy Tail wiki, guild cards and what I can remember from the manga/anime): I'm going to assume that Laxus was always a part of Fairy Tail, considering his family. The manga's time has progressed around half a year (from beginning to current) and the guild cards pop up at different chapters. Kana: more than ~10 years ago from the manga's present day. According to her guild card, she's 18: she joined ~ 8 years old or younger. - Confusion: in Ch. 201, Lucy says Kana is the oldest in their age range?, but Mirajane and Erza are both 19 according to their guild cards. Maybe they don't count. Gray: ~10 years ago. According to his guild card, he's 18: he joined ~ 8 years old. Erza: ~7-8 years ago. According to her guild card, she's 19: she joined ~ 11-12 years old. Ch. 161.5 flashback (Fairy Hills, Lucy cosplaying as a cat princess) happened 6 years ago, she was ~ 13 years old. - Side note: On the bottom right panel, I think that's Levy and Miki? Natsu: ~ 6 years ago. Who knows how old he was. Take Over siblings: ~ 6 years ago (ep. 20). According to their guild cards, they joined around when Mirajane ~13, Elfman ~ 12 and Lisanna ~ 11 years old. As for the others (Shadow Gear team, Bisca/Alzack), I've no clue. Miscellaneous: Kana's been eligible for the S-Class examinations for 5 years (counting this one): she's been eligible since she was 14 years old? Is that considered normal? There was a scene where Erza taught Natsu how to read - do you know what episode was that? |

Am I mistaken, or does the 2/16 news items say that the Fairy Tail anime is moving to Saturday mornings?

Looks like it's gonna be the replacement for Keroro Gunsou and SD Sengoku Gundam. For a morning timeslot, that's not a bad one at all. Maybe even the best.

As for why the decided to move it, I'm guess it's a matter of ratings. Fairy Tail's ratings have been pretty solidly 3.*% for a while now. They probably feel they can move it to a good time slot elsewhere without damaging it's popularity, and have a newer series get the strong lead in from Tamagochi. |

I've made a complete timeline using the information shown during the story and the guild cards. Recent information shown in the manga isn't included
@8zjvm I've put the information you posted if you don't care If we take into account the conversation between Gajeel and Natsu, the dragons disappeared 7 years ago, the 7th of July in year X777, so we can assume the current year is X784 (the start of the manga). Some of the years are not exact but I've tried to be as exact as possible. If some of the information is wrong please say it ~X384 (estimation)- The Most Powerful Dark Mage Zeref is sealed -X695-96- Makarov is born -X736- Makarov becomes Master of Fairy Tail -X739- “That Old Guy” is born -X741- Makarov receives the title of the Ten Wizard Saints -X748- Layla Heartfilia, Wacaba and Macao are born -X755- Ichiya is born -X757- Reedus and Jura are born -X761- Laxus Dreyar and Warren are born -X762- Bixlow is born -X764- Nab, Hibiki, Ren, Fried and Evergreen are born -X765- Lyon, Mystogan, Erza, Jellal and Mirajane are born -X766- Jubia, Elfman, Gray, Cana, Alzack, Bisca, Droy and Jet are born A pregnant Layla Heartfilia and her husband leave the Love&Lucky Merchant Guild -X767- Levy and Sherry are born. Lucy is born in July 1st -X768- Lisanna, Eve and Max are born -X769- Vijeteer (Fairy mage who always dances) is born -X772- Wendy is born -X774- Gray joins Fairy Tail -X776- Ultear brainwashes Jellal. Erza escapes Tower of Heaven and joins Fairy Tail. Jellal continues to finish the R-System in order to revive Zeref -X777- Dragons disappear. Layla Heartfilia dies. Some time later Jellal(?) finds Wendy, they travel together for a month until he leaves her at Cait Shelter Guild Natsu joins Fairy Tail -X778- Mirajane, Lisanna and Elfman join Fairy Tail. Happy and Charle are born -X780- Sherry, Toby and Yuka leave Lamia Scale and join Lyon to unfreeze Deliora -X781- Karen Lilica is killed by Angel. Loke stays in human world and eventually joins Fairy Tail. “That Old Guy” leaves Fairy Tail -X782- Lisanna dies during a mission -X784- Lucy Heartfilia meets Natsu Dragneel and joins Fairy Tail We don't know the date when Ivan Dreyar was excommulgated from the guild by his father and founded the Raven Tail Guild. Also Natsu's and Gajeel's birthdates haven't been shown (but Wendy's yes...) and you know what happened during Laxus' arc with Fried's runes Eve was training to be one of the Magic Council's knights until the council dissolved after The Tower Of Heaven arc and then joins Blue Pegasus.
