For all the questioning people out there. As it stands there is no production for a continuation of Fairy tail I.e the Alvarez Arc and Avatar Arc, This does NOT mean that the anime has finished. I don't know for certain but the Film: Fairy Tail Dragon Cry, seems like a side story much like the previous film, it isn't cannon to the story however if it was (Which it could be as a means to end the anime) then I think its safe to say the anime wouldn't continue as there is no point having 2 endings. As i hope, the film will be a side story and the anime will continue but it has not started production because the manga has not finished yet, everyone knows that this is the last arc of fairy tail so studios might as well wait for it all to be over and produce the final 2 Arcs in bulk all to be released all in one (1 episode per week). All though there is still a chance it might not happen as in the end, the studio IS a company and its aim is to make money, so if they think producing the ending of fairy tail wont make them money, they wont do it. However this is unlikely as looking by the manga, as displeased as people are at it, people are still reading and enjoying it, they wouldn't read it otherwise. in addition as they are making a film for the franchise kinda proves that they still see profit in it. of course unless it is a film to end the franchise.
