  1. Fairy Tail Episode 77: allow me to get my only complaint about Edolas out of the way, so that I can then enjoy the ride. I don't like how Mystogan ended up acting as a walking plot device in what was supposed to be his arc. Heck, he is overshadowed even by a pair of cats!

      That is dropping the ball pretty hard, admittedly... fucking up a character's significance and impact in their own damn story arc...

  2. Fairy Tail Episode 76: Natsu was so damn cute as a kid, with those little fangs of his. Also, GILDARTS SHIFT!

  3. Fairy Tail Episode 75: why isn't Mira taking part in the race? o.O

  4. Fairy Tail Episode 74: this is why I love this series. Even in a silly filler episode like this one, they managed to slip in a long-term foreshadowing of Gildarts, complete with Cana sighing upon hearing his name. This way, his debut doesn't feel like a complete ass pull, like it did in the manga.

      they were on about the strongest members and needing their help to defend the guild, right?

      Ah yes, I had completely forgotten about that ;-;

  5. I... I don't think that's the word you are looking for. Specially because "homo" in this case means "same" (from Greek) and not "man" (from Latin) <.<
  6. Fairy Tail Episode 73: I'll bet you don't have many friends who would uproot a tree for you :P

      Well, I'm not friends with Miyamae so no owo

  7. Close, but no banana As for the evolutionary method, Espeon and Umbreon are BY FAR the easiest to obtain, so I can predict you will be getting them a lot while trying to figure out how to get the new ones
  8. I don't trust you. What if you are actually the Scarecrow, and you are collecting info on our fears to use them against us?
  9. Two things I would like to point out about what Zim said: 1) If a Gym Leader or E4 uses a type for which an eeveelution exists, then he/she uses that eevelution in his/her team. Notice he said "eeveelution", meaning "an evolution of Eevee". This excludes Eevee itself, also why are you suddenly assuming that Acacia uses the Normal type? We purposedly had her hand out Hidden Power during her conversation, specifically so the move would NOT be a hint (it can be of any type). 2) Eeveelutions have specific stat numbers distributed in a unique way. Notice that this means that the base stats are the same for all Eeveelution, only they are swapped around: for example, all Eeveelutions have base 130 in something, it is HP for Vaporeon, Spe for Jolteon, SpAtk for Espeon and so on. So yeah, guessing Haunteon's stats basically means guessing how these fixed values are distributed in its case. Oh and just so you know: this is one of three new eeveelutions we are introducing in our game. All things considered, I find this one and another one to be pretty good at what they do, while the third one is held back by an issue that many canon eeveelutions have in common. How are these for some juicy hints?
  10. The way they animated this thing in Gen 6 creeps me out to no end.
  11. Uh? Weird, I used a Bunnerd myself in my test run, and there was no such issue o.O I'll tell Nova to investigate.
  12. WOOOOOOOOOOOO! Flair is a walking reference to a certain someone! If you don't get the references, get lost!
  13. Too bad that Zim has been slacking off studying for exams recently, so we have no artworks that we can use for an announcement ;-;
  14. Fairy Tail Episode 72: you know what? I found this non-canon mini arc to be much more enjoyable than the canon arc that preceeded it. Not that it was so hard to top the worst arc in the series. By the way, Daphne was cute as a kid: what dragon do you think she saw? Was it Acnologia? Or maybe Igneel?

      Hiss, these statuses have only gotten to ep 72, so I am supposed to pretend not to know post-Tartaros stuff <.<

      If you wanna talk spoilerese, then yes, Acnologia is the only dragon still around by that point... Except the dragon in the flashback does not look like Acnologia in the slightest. I guess this detail alone invalidates the whole mini arc canon-wise ;-;

      It is like that one "There is something ahead, and the road is closed now" from Pokemon X/Y: when the author openly admits he doesn't feel like coming up with an excuse to handwave a situation lol

  16. Remember this is still a region inspired to Australia. So the colonial history of its real life counterpart must still be taken into consideration. So yeah, it is no coincidence that the VAST majority of the cities you are going to find are located near the coast, while the innermost areas are mostly wild: this reflects how a region being colonized from external forces would develop: with the eareas that are easy to access from the sea being colonized first. It's hard to tell right now, because you still cannot access the portion of the region that is east of Albion, but the city is actually located in a favorable spot, which makes it the ideal capital. So yeah, you have to imagine that, when the area was colonized, those who were in command of the expeditions would live here. On the other hand, Kelon was in a relatively isolated area, which made it ideal for pirates to make it their headquarters. Later in the game, you will get to another city whose colonization was lead by scientists and archeologists, who needed a base of operation to go explore a nearby natural wonder. You'll also find a frontier city and a city built on top of trees (dat Gen 3 feel tho). So yeah, I have said it before and I will said it again: there isn't a definite timeline concerning the distant past of the region, but if you want to make one of your own, you cannot overlook the parallels between this region and its real life counterpart. Oh and Az, Albion is not THAT recent, are you sure you are not confusing it with another city, located on an island?
  17. In all seriousness, this looks good, but between exams and other commitments, it is hard for me to follow a series like this (I promised I'd follow Huk's latest endeavor, but ultimately I didn't). So yeah, I will try and keep on reading to provide some feedback, but I cannot honestly promise it. Regardless, good luck and keep up the good work
  18. Fairy Tail Episode 70: Gray willingly sides with the enemy and Natsu is captured. Good stuff for a filler arc.

      i have to disagree with filler making things interesting

      ive always found filler to be annoying and unnecessary in anything

    3. Tomas Elliot

      Depends on how they are done and how frequently. Generalizing is bad, you know. I find Fairy Tail's fillers to be surprisingly interesting, as they often expand on aspects of the (VERY large) cast the manga glosses over. A far cry from the disaster that was the Naruto fillers between the first series and Shippuden...

      i just dont like when series go off of the main plot

      and ive seen shows that stay to the plot and do a great job mixing in humor and development while still keeping the plot serious

  19. Fairy Tail Episode 69: yup yup yup! Metamo-chan is the miraculous diet snack that will change your life!

  20. Fairy Tail Episode 68: I would rant about how idiotic the whole "Caith Shelter was an illusion all along" plot point is, but frankly at this point I'm just glad this arc is over. It had started with some great potential, but some asinine decisions halfway through completely ruined it. This series deserves better and thankfully, that's exactly what it's going to gt from now on.

  21. Fairy Tail Episode 67: ok wait a damn minute right here. We are now supposed to feel sorry for Jellal just because he is going to jail? Despite the fact that we SAW him commit the crimes he is being arrested for? Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, and I think his character was given an intriguing direction. But depicting the cops as villains (complete with ominous theme and Natsu yelling at them about, you guessed it, nakama power!) just because they are doing their job to arrest him...

    1. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      ... is just asinine. The message it gets across is that if the protagonist sees you as a nakama, then you can be forgiven for even the most vile acts. Great aesop there, Hiro!

  22. Fairy Tail Episode 66: Natsu is losing. Natsu suddenly stands up and rambles about nakama power. Natsu wins. Little we knew, at the time, that EVERY SINGLE BATTLE IN THE SERIES would follow this format from this moment on.

      Nah but I still criticize the shows I love. I just don't think Fairy Tail is a good show \o/

      Nothing is perfect. Just saying :x

  23. The preceeding announcement was brought to you by Nova & Zim Headcanons INC. In all seriousness, while the recent backstory (as in, 2 or 3 years before the events of the game, tops) of the various cities is well-established in canon and plays a major role in the overall plot, there has never been (and there probably never will be) a proper timeline involving events of the distant past... With two notable exceptions (you'll see about those when the time comes). And frankly, I like it that way: I think it's better to leave some blanks for the imagination of the players to fill. That is, when some staffer doesn't randomly decide to go out and spin his own canon. EDIT: and with this, let's begin the celebrations for getting to page 100 of this topic!
