The anime im guessing is gonna end at the end of Fairy Tail's second year in October. because the the rate they are going now they still will catch up to the manga. and If this mini filler arc ends in April at the start of the new Timeslot it STILL won't be enough. They need to at least do 15-17 episodes of filler ( which includes breaks ) after each main arc to keep its Distance from the Manga's current location. so... the anime is gonna end by this year even though I really don't want it to. If Mashima can think of good enough fillers then the chance of a third year is highly possible. Or maybe he might do bunches of Tiny Filler Arcs. so After this Daphne Arc another short anime-only arc will come up.
