| FT started strong, stalled a bit and then went into a downwards spiral until it reached rock bottom. It's sad that the author wasted the potential of his manga this much. The fear of actually making the characters take risks and introducing stetegy in the fights was his start or his undoing. On the bring side, FT helped make manga more mainstream in pop culture and is somewhat fun for kids. It was a pleasure to go through this ride with you o7 |
| The ships pretty much ended up where I expected, with a lot of them being more ambiguous. Didn't think Natsu would suddenly gain the maturity to confess to Lucy in one chapter, so I guess it's better that way. It's always kinda sad when a series ends, especially as Fairy Tail was one of my first "long-running" anime when I was getting into it. But of course, these last few disappointing arcs were only somewhat made up by this lighthearted final chapter. This series is best when it's not taking itself seriously. |
| One of my first anime/manga is now over, and I loved it. While I might be oblivious to the mistakes, this manga was perfect in my eyes and will be a big memory of my younger teen years in the future. |
| I just kept reading because of Ships and in the end didn't even get that... I hate you Hiro... well, it was expected. |

| Ugh... Please don't tell me I'm the only one who get emotional here....? X') I mean, this manga (actually the anime) is the one who bring me to otaku world... Now that this is ended, I don't know what to do with my life... I feel empty... T_T Gruvia was really cute~ way cuter than my OTP NaLu in this chapter... But, what can we expect from someone like Natsu... Actually I didn't expect that the reincarnation of Zeref and Mavis will be there, so I'm kind of surprise... And I'm curious about JerZa... Yeah... It's a really fun ride.. Though it's a bit ruined at the latest arc, my rating still 10/10. I will really miss this... T_T |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| -Well I guess it's the end. I give the series a 6/10 overall, It wasn't that bad. Now time to wait for the third season of the anime! |
  |
| I used to be a bleach fan and then kubo destroyed the manga with that ending That was really disappointing. And now, Mashima did the same thing as well. I admit the final was better than bleach in many ways but.... There was no ships..... It was supposed to be aftermath. Well overall i give 6 for the sake of the old days. |

| Disappointed and Frustrated, There is so much potential for this manga! So many unique characters! How I wish Mashima could have further developed them, How I wish he had Deepen the Relationship and Frienship of each one of them, There are lots of different magic abbilities! How i wish He could have fleshed it out more! and creatively used them for a more strategical and interesting fights sighhh but Mashima thrown all that away! and gave us fanservice and terrible battle sequences (nakama power)? instead sigh... After the Avatar arc it all went downhill to me especially the final arc. Yeah but it has been a long journey, Even if I was disappointed, I won't deny that at the very beginning I really did enjoyed watching Fairytail to the point that I have my own ships and fangirl to it till no end... speaking of ships, Well I don't know if Mashima played it safe or He's just a coward. XD. -Considering Gajevy not having enough screentime together, I'm really happy they are canonized! with a baby coming??? XD -but Gruvia (and the others) deserved more! but well to be fair atleast Gruvia have enough cute moments, compared to Nalu and Jerza. XD -Felt bad for Nalu, the romance was left ambiguous until the end XD but Natsu did promise her They're going to be together forever sooo... -Oh damn I didn't know Laxus has his own Harem... haha! that was it...quite relieve it ended but i'd still be looking forward to the anime |

| Is natsu gay or what? |
| The last arc has been terrible, the ultimate level of bullshit, not a single fight lived up to the expectations and such twist will give you brain cancer for sure. I think the author lost interest in his work in the end. |
| It was meh. It's Ok, I guess. The way it ended wasn't either good or bad, it was kinda bland. I was hopping for shippings, but I guess Mashima can't even pull that off properly. Hoped for Natsu x Lucy or Natsu x Lisana, but, oh well. |

| Fairy Tail was pretty much one of the series that got me really into anime and manga (believe it was in 2011). Feels a bit crazy that this over. No doubt though, I'm glad this is done. I can't remember when it started, but it just felt obligatory that I had to read each chapter to see it through until the end. This last arc in particular turned full comedy to see how much worse it could get with each passing chapter. Anyway, I'm still glad for the memories of how much I enjoyed the start. The art has generally been great throughout too, which is pretty impressive. I always love seeing the improvement from the beginning of the manga to the conclusion, so really enjoyed seeing the early manga panels. Like I said though, glad this is finally over; this just needed to end. |

CG-Silver said: So .... that's it I guess? Fairy Tail started out pretty fresh and quickly picked my interest for quite some time. But unfortunately the more it went on, the more it's writing deteriorated. It would've been just fine to get adventures with the original 4 (Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Gray). The last arc was especially disappointing, giving the series a new low. It was not only bad writing, but also pretty boring, relying on any chance to add fan service where possible. Overall, as someone who used to be fan in the early days, I have to say this series turned out pretty badly. Have to give credit to Mashima for ending it. Overall, a 3-4/10 would suffice. I completely agree. And the final arc and ending was extremely rushed and disappointing. Easily a 3 - 4/10 series. |
 |
| it was actually worse because it actually has potential in beginning... oh well.. 5/10 only add +1 because the last chapter actually feels nostalgic and nothing else... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| This was one of those stories that start with a great potential but drops in quality over time to the extent that at some point, you're just glad that it ended. I mean, I knew that FT had established the status quo of "Power of Nakama" beats shit out of everything without any other explanations but you can't blame a man for having some expectations for the final fight right? Yet what we get is just a rushed ending... Seems like the man should totally be blamed for having expectations... Well, I do find it better than Bleach's though, so there's that. For the sake of the old days, I'd rank this manga an overall 4-5/10. Easily 1/10 without nostalgia factor from the anime (Loved the BGMs)~~ |

Did you know that Saitama can fly?  |
| Came in like a gag, left with tears. End of an era! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Im confused... thought the author said Lucy and Natsu were gonna be married. |
| Fairy Tail stayed true to itself and remained garbage to the end. This series is a 1 at best and should be forgotten and all items you own of this series should be burned |
 |
| 11 long years....Ups, down, left and rights...Drama, romance, action, adventure And Comedy...that is what Fairy Tail Was...and will forever be in our hearts....One of the Best Manga's of our Century has ended...Not with big CLimax or Big Bang...But either case really fitting Ending...Going to miss this...even if Forum of this site is full of shit talking about this...This was great series and nothing to say about it. 9/10 LOl...love how Sensei is joking about possible Laxus Pairing...Mirajane, Lisanna and Cana...also possible others? LOL!!! NICE last teasing...and Levy is Pregnant!? Daamn Gajeel..you are acting fast....and Damn Grey just admit Already! aand now to the Sunset after the 100 years Guest! Fitting end. X) Missing this already |

| Meh. Very meh ending. It had potential, so much potential, but it didn't reach that. I'm glad it came to an end and despite the amount of flaws, it still manged to entertain me. Hopefully Mashima's next project would turn out better. |
| To be honest i can't say i loved it.. its was good. but... lacked so much.. (personal opinion)after being with this serie for 5-6 years now (i believe :/) i cant reach up to more than a 8,2 (ish) it has it fantastic moments, i gotta admit that.. でも。。i don´t know what to say really,all of this mostly the recent act, it's been a unusual surprise really.. which i can´t find any words for. and natsu could at the very least have said something better then something cheesy as(we will be together forever.) thats most of my comment i guess thanks for my time. |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| First Naruto x Sakura, then Ichigo x Rukia, now Natsu x Lucy, and pretty much all FT pairings except Gajeel x Levy. LMAO Shippers are getting cucked hardcore with these endings! The one set of fans Mashima had left and he trolled them too! Hey, One Piece fans who for some reason ship Luffy x Nami - You're next. |
 |
Roloko said: Okay I guess series lost its charm at the start of the Grand Magic Games for me.. My thoughts exactly. That arc marked FT's transition from a somewhat entertaining nakama adventure story to a trite shonen. Everything after the GMG went steadily downhill. Only the artstyle kept me reading at that point. 3/10 |
 |
| As much as I didn't like how FT had become, I couldn't help but like this final chapter. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| well it was nice and all but natsu and lucy story was still left open ended...I am gonna miss this... can't wait for the anime in 2018 |
 |
| Goodbye Fairy Tail, it was nice reading you. |
 |
| Fairy tail may have been better or worse at times, but it definitely was special for me and it taught some valuable lessons. Thank you. |

| I totally forgot about the 100-year Quest since Tenrou Island. Gajeel totally made Levy pregnant. Mashima trolled us with those Laxus ships. I'm totally convinced that Laxus did it with Mirajane. Cana's still a virgin and Lisanna obviously, too. Seeing the seven members of Crime Sociere being forgiven is nice, especially since most of their past were out of their control. But who took Angel's virginity? Was it Midnight? Hoteye is out of question and Racer is more odd than Midnight to me. I hope it wasn't Brain. Simon still dead. Makarov still alive. He's the true immortal one. Natsu has still no sense for romance. And the reason he likes Lucy is because he loved Anna? Well, that's not the whole reason, but it's a contribution. |

LMAO Shippers are getting cucked hardcore with these endings! The one set of fans Mashima had left and he trolled them too! Hey, One Piece fans who for some reason ship Luffy x Nami - You're next. There were definately more NaruHina shippers and I assume Ichihime shippers out there than there were Narusaku or Ichirukia shippers. In the case of Naruhina by a huge Margin so far in fact that Kishimoto reduced Hinata´s screentime to appropriate Sakura´s position as a main character Fairy Tail is the only one that cucked it´s main pairing shippers, but it wasn´t out of the question as I clarified in my "Canon pairings thread". On the other hand. Cobra got to date his GF, Erza and Jellal probably the fanfavorite got their relationship confirmed albeit flimsy. Levi and Gajeel got their happy end (pun intended), Gray and Juvia got their PG relationship. Athough this Manga confirmed sexual relationships on many occasions, is filled the brim with fanservice and even introduced orgasm magic in which tentacles cares you to climax. Some of Hiro Mashima´s decisions are so outlandish insultingly stupid that I genuinely can´t make head or tails out of it. Some can clearly be traced as lazyness. Other times, the best anyone can do is guess. Personally, I think he ocassionally writes terrible outcomes, for the sole sake of going against convention, despite making zero sense in context. It fits his rebel nature, his past with his father and his school career. Unlike Kishimoto and presumingly Oda he never finished college. It´s better to think of him as an artist rather than a writer. A stubborn,incapeable uneducated writer. I don't want to get into the problems with FT as a series because I'd be here all day. What I will say though is that while Naruto x Hinata was the most popular pairing in the West, in Japan it was Sakura x Sasuke, Naruto x Sakura, and Naruto x Hinata in that order so a pretty big portion of the fanbase did get trolled there. Especially considering up until that point Kishimoto had strung along both pairings involving Naruto, while Sasuke literally left Sakura for dead only a few chapters before the end of the series showing very little possibility for him to return her feelings. As for Bleach, the Ichigo x Rukia fans worldwide made up the majority of the Bleach fans, especially Japan where it would matter most. They were the predominant pairing fans from start to finish so it understandably came as a blow to them. I wasn't surprised with the way it ended because I noticed that, despite all the flaws and inconsistency, the one thing Kubo kept consistent was Orihime's feelings. Fairy Tail had more reason for pairings to exist than the aforementioned and I know plenty of people only continued reading for that and they didn't even get a payoff. Most of the pairings are left open to interpretation with Gajeel and Levy being the most canonised. Erza being more into her appearance and Natsu claiming he and Lucy will always be together while they go off on an adventure with other guildmembers can barely be considered resolved endings, while Gray claiming Juvia's body is his was just awkward. If I were a pairing fan in this manga I imagine this would be the most unsatisfying ending ever. He's clearly setting up for a spin-off similar to Boruto becauce copying trends is what Mashima does. |

| I followed this for 9 years and now it finally.... With Naruto over, ad Bleach (tough I stopped following that one in 2011), and now Fairy Tail, all the long running series I followed since I started watching anime are gone... makes me kind of sad. Fairy Tail used to be really awsome... it used to be one of my favorites in 2009-2013.... and I still think that the anime is exceptional until Tenrou Island Arc. Saddly, is been so long, and after so many arcs (and after Mashima stopped copying One Piece), it started to go down hill. I had great expectations for this arc, as it started really strong and with a very nostalgic feeling.... But Mashima couldn't take it to its true potential as he totally avoids consequences and having some of his characters killed... the whole conflict become to big fr Mahima, and without some Narutoverse Great War type of shit, he ended it in the most superficial way possible, making his characters defeating huge armies and some of the most OP characters he ever created with barely any effort. But at least we got Juvia.... she was the main reason I keep up with this one... She should had been the main character. Overall 7/10... Because I can't be an asshole and ignore that he first half was really good and enjoyable. So is basically like 9/10 or the first half, and 4/10 for the rest. |
 |
lol so people who just happen to look like Mavis & Zeref just happen to meet up and hit it off for all eyes to see? they don't have any more kids and reincarnation wouldn't make sense seeing as how only a year has passed. guess Mashima figured: logic be damned, it's the last chapter! |
| Quite disappointing to hear that the manga ended in a lame way. Yet another long running shounen I will not try out I guess (until the end) And to think I wanted to give it a 2nd chance |
| I didnt like the ending because everything was too rushed. 1. I dont know why Mashima left all ships to the end yet he KNEW that he wouldnt make every one canon in last chapter...at least as it deserved to be. Like when the fuck did Gajeel have sex with Levy? And no way Juvia would react like THIS after all her love for Gray. Nalu no comment. No fanservice like kiss either. 2. Villains were defeated so fast and simple in last 2 arcs. 3. There are so many unexplained things in Fairy Tail that should have been solved. 4. 100 years guest. *clap clap* 5. No future. I will be so happy if Mashima would make some additional story,better ending or any spin-off of Fairy Tail (sure he will do this). 6. As I said,ending was rushed and it deserve better alternative. But thats our Trollshima,isnt he? |

TheImmortalOne50 said: This is by far THE best ending to a manga ever!! I loved it! But I still don't get why MAL say there's 549 chapters when that is incorrect. MAL counts some bonus chapters and stuff like that in that, ignore it really, it's 545. Anyway, ending as it was supposed to be. Hoped for a bit more fleshed out NaLu, but I guess it's confirmed anyway. Looked cute and very fairy-tailish 7/10, from me, as I love the characters and overall mood. The plot never was anything great, and I didn't really like the whole last arc much, but that's not what I cared much for in the first place. |
 |
| Although I hated the last arc I thought the last chapter would leave a bigger emotional impact on, considering I followed this manga almost half of my life, but I guess this shows how less I care about the characters, even after such a long time. About the chapter itself, well it was that what I had expected, a bit slice of life with some confirmed and unconfirmed ships and a bit fanservice of course :D, it was decent overall, nothing special, tho. |
