I do wonder if she'll end up joining FT. I honestly wouldn't mind it at all.
Lol who would mind? The bigger the harem the better isnt it? XD

You actually are being super and stupidly rude Darklight.
I love Fairy Tail to pieces. I do. It's one of my favorites and it will be that way forever now since I love it so much. Huge fangirl- I draw fanart, read fan fiction, etc. I love it. In fact I'm pretty positive I love it far more than you.
But the new chapters are pretty bad. The reason is that they kind of ignore recent events and just jump into new ones and the fanservice is just ABSURD now. Before it was an even distribution- There was a lot of regular fanservice, but it also had a lot of manservice as well. Overall the earlier chapters/episodes felt more female-oriented, or at least safe for both genders. The new chapters are so very clearly male oriented. Yes, it's a shounen, but one of the reasons I love Fairy Tail is that for so long is had ENORMOUS female appeal.
It feels like this newest chapter is trying to bring some of that back, with the whole girl power thing, which was great, but it was still riddled with more fanservice than earlier chapters.
And, to elaborate more on the fanservice- In earlier chapters the fanservice was very very self aware. It was sort of like he put in fanservice then screamed "LOL FANSERVICE" later, so it really was FUNNY. Now, a lot of the fanservice feels more like that of an ecchi harem- With Kana groping lucy's boobs, Natsu doing the same (though as a NaLu fangirl I can't complain TOOOO much), Wendy fanservice here and there now... It's very much skewed and less self-aware.
And, just in general, the writing is really bad now. This set of villains is uninteresting and SUPER gimmickey- "Super" "Dunn"- It's just annoying, not funny. We're still early in the plot but it feels much less inspired than previous plots. The dialogue is also just.... Really bad. And yes I know these are translated scans, but even just the gist of what everyone is saying is much weaker than in previous arcs.
I also want to note that I did love the GMG arc, whereas as I know most others hated it- I am really referring to this new arc specifically, as well as to the end of the GMG arc which most people can agree was fairly weak. The transition between the two arcs was weak as well.
Ah this is rare. You are not a fangirl but a true fan. :) Love the series despite knowing the flaws and acknowledge it. *applause* Unlike fanboys and girls who only blindly love the series like its the prefect thing ever.
Agree with everything you said except that I actually prefer this arc more than the unbearable tournament and dragon arc. The first half of tournament was ok but ever since the twin dragon vs Natsu it just when bullshit all the way.
And yes the fanservice in FT is getting absurd. Hiro is throwing in fanservice in every possibility. This chapter just prove it, we even saw Wendy's panty -___- Now ppl dont get me wrong I am straight and I actually like fanservice, but if I wanted this amount of fanservice I might as well just go and watch some ecchi series. FT at first doesnt "meant" to be an ecchi genre. But now you will always get to see every girl's tits and ass in every angle whenever there is opportunity.
