Fairy Tail Chapter 508 Discussion

short_review said:


And I was not talking about things that are underrated, but things that are difficult to find. For example in France you can't find Gintama in big stores and even in specialized ones, you have to get it on the internet. And Kingdom isn't even licensed and won't be because it's too expensive to buy a licence at this point. But our stores are full of Fairy Tail everywhere



Gintama is hard , nigh impossible to market with reasonable revenue outside of Japan, alone for the puns and insider jokes the series throws constantly at it´s audience in Anime or Manga form, so this isn´t surprising it´s not very popular.

I would guess that One Piece who is more popular than FT inside and outside of Japan as well as Naruto are more prominent in the france shops. I live in germany and here they are. I would be surprised to hear that it´s different

Kindgom tells the Romance of three kingdoms in Manga form, which is less marketable to western audiences then to eastern due to cultural differences.

It´s like telling a Manga version of Hercules and complaining that it didn´t do as good in China as it did in the American and european market.



So your whole argument boils down too marketing sucks and it should  fit more your own tastes. Fairy Tail is by far not a good series, but way more accesible to a Manga reading audience due to it being a predecessor of Dragon Ball (Till this day the biggest Manga/Anime outside of Japan), rather then a series that parodies japanese Culture/Shounen Jump or a Manga based on a Chinese Legend/Ancient Novel.



Your whole argument boils down too marketing sucks and it should  fit more your own tastes.

I gave up on FT since Tenroujima (Azuma was a motherfucking god in that instant and he lost, for the power of plot).



It still has his good moments (Tartarus was pretty good, all the credit to MarGeer and Silver for being good foils) but mostly the manga is deep in this nonsense shit. It still pull some nice chapters (like the one of Gajeel fake-death) butmost of the time its just bullshit after bullshit.



I miss the good old times of ParadiseTowerArc and PhantomLord. That  was when Mashima still knew how to write.

And here we are. After 508 chapters people are still complaining about Fairy Tail's fanservice. It's no worse than it already was. Wanna get a serious story? Go for Monster, punk. As if you could take any shounen for serious. People keep hitting, blood keep flowing and no one dies. Then the protagonist unleashes a hidden power and defeats the OP boss. Always the same shit. The important is to use this as an entertainment, or learn the morals and delete the rest.



But saying the same shit after hundreds of chapters is absolutely outstanding.



And there was nothing wrong with Cana beign 'innocent'. People who complain didn't get her personality at all. LOL. Don't understand the thing as it already is, imagine if it gets serious. Oh, I know. It would be "complex". *sigh*. And here I am, badmouthing people who keep repeating things after hundreds of chapters, while I still bother discuss after coming across the same situation thousands of times.



So much BS written above. Won't even bother anymore. Just grow up.

I think you need to grow up a little yourself. Being able to accept legitimate criticism of something you like takes some maturity.



Feel free to go and show the previous chapters where orgasm magic was used. Go ahead, we'll be here waiting for you. Or maybe a chapter where virgin detecting magic was used. This chapter was hilarious in how utterly nuts they went with this chapter. This chapter was literally porn.



Yeah, Fairy Tail has danced with fanservice for a long time. It has most definitely run the line between an action series with heavy fanservice and a hentai series with some action. It did cross the line on this one though.

This was one weird as chapter

so that pleasure seeker is Zeref's son...hmmm how... that's why he was a dragneel

Ahahahaha, pleasure magic. This chapter had me laughing. They should call it...Fanservice magic.



Good to see Kagura again, one of my favorite characters in this series.

It's been a long time since I stopped taking FT seriously and just read it for the fanservice. But seriously Hiro you call that fanservice? That's quiet tame compared to how you drew fanservice in the past. Pfft. This was funny though, and different; now we know who's a virgin and not.



Seeing this kind of chapter, something I didn't even thought of or predicted, tells me one thing; FT is getting weaker and Hiro is desperate to attract attention. I thought Rakheid was a light magic user at first, but Pleasure magic seriously??? That came out of nowhere. If he turns this to To Love Ru-like fanservice coupled with his art skills, that would be a fucking win.



Tbh, I don't think there will be fight scenes next week. It might be just some more fanservice, which is good for me atleast.

One thing we learnt in this chapter: Warren is still a virgin.
