Forum:Catching up the anime

Discussion
Okay, this is honestly really cut and dry. The ASG is dead for whatever reasons may exist under the sun, and the anime is behind into as far as October. I'm cutting the Grand Magic Games loose because it was so messy that it's hard to differentiate between canon and non-canon due to so much stuff never being seen or implied to have happened a different way, etc., etc. Tartarus arc (or rather, Sun Village) starts up in less than 2 weeks, and after talking it over with a few of my colleagues, we've agreed that it's best to start a forum for volunteers. If any one of you is an old bastard, you'll remember that about 3 years ago, there was a forum for updating manga character summaries, and this is meant to accomplish the same objective. If you are willing to help, just say you are willing to help. If you are not willing to help but wish to put in your two cents, then do so. If you want to help and offer advice, that's awesome too. It's just that the anime used to be updated as fast as the manga, and now look at it. The wiki is a shadow of its former self and it's pretty maddening, so I think as a community we should get together and try and fix it. When we have a rough idea of how many volunteers there are, we will break down lists for people to take. Just think of this as a temporary version of an anime-LUT before we move onto other bigger, better, more pressing and extremely unpleasant things.

P.S. I'm obviously volunteering. 20:34, March 21, 2015 (UTC)

It would be more encouraging to add anime-only stuff if the fillers weren't so sucky. XD 20:47, March 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * It may suck, but we are still the Fairy Tail wiki, it has to be done.--

I agree that there's a lot of catching up to do, but what I don't see is why an anime version of the LUT needs to be created, instead of just have the ASG be active, and with more members preferrably. Oh, also as an S-Class of the ASG I obviously volunteer too. 23:00,3/21/2015

I actually think we should just try to revive ASG, if that fails, we go yolo. I mean, I've already written quite a few episode summaries myself so *shrugs* As for the character summaries and what not, I'm not really interested in that xD 23:08, March 21, 2015 (UTC)

There isn't anything personal to be meant by this, but it's like I said: the ASG is dead for whatever reason under the sun. Adding more members won't do a thing because that will not change that there are members in it who won't do anything. I also said that this "anime-LUT" is temporary, and is limited to this forum only. The ASG itself is a whole other matter for a different day. Wanting the ASG to be active is something that was on all of our minds, but right now that isn't possible, and expecting everyone to be bound by the duties of the ASG is pretty difficult, hence the forum to get a community effort to go on before we address the ASG situation (which I tried to allude to, but there's no real point in alluding). But I appreciate the volunteering. :D 00:31, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

I volunteer. I think its great that you bring this issue up. With the Tartaros arc just a stone throw's away, we should really get the activity flow of the anime-related articles on par to the rest of the wiki- or at least, to the way the wiki was. 00:38, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

Ok so I was really discouraged to getting involved because going through the past 24 episodes (filler episodes started in Ep 202, now we going to 226) that were mostly boring and a waste of time and write about them sound horrible. However, I think it'd be easier if each person took 1 or 2 episodes (or more if you want of course) and just focus on that one and do everything for it. For example, let's say I choose Episode 225 then I'd worry about completing the episode page, making the pages for the anime only characters, doing synopsis, etc. To me that seems like a lot less work since everything I do is just about those 20 minutes and I'm so willing to help if we can do it that way. 02:44, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

That could work. My original thought was I just list out the characters with the episodes they're missing and people just focus on that character, and then individuals can sign up for episode summaries separately. But that sounds actually pretty favorable too. 02:48, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

That sounds like a pain, going from episode to episode looking to see where each character appears. and then if you picked one of the main characters then that's just a ton of work. 02:51, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

Which is why I'm saying your idea is better. XD That should be the way it's done. 02:52, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

Cool. :D 02:54, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

So I guess in a day or so after we have some more volunteers we will work on this together. I know I did most of the Eclipse Spirits, so they're almost totally updated and don't have much to work on. So +1 to that I guess. 03:01, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

I am doing (and did) my share of anime related stuff, so I hope, I am good.

Volunteering.
