User blog comment:Besteverunited/Do you think after the tartarus arc there will be a break in the anime or is the new manga arc designed for this reason?/@comment-103.14.62.115-20150226130630/@comment-7418318-20150227182352

So do I, which is exactly the point of my comment.

They already failed three times out of three in their attempt to make good filler arcs for Fairy Tail. If anything ECS is even worse than Daphne or KotSS and considering how much I dislike especially the Daphne arc that's saying a LOT.

Thus I have very little to no confidence that a fourth attempt by the same company is going to be any better... not without Hiro Mashima writing the story-board for them or A1 bringing in a new, more compenent story-writer.
