What the anime could make better:

At first: The Avatar arc. They have Avatar being fodder despite being supposedly as strong as the Balam Alliance. It's like in Rave Master: King is killed and the generals presumed dead: The Three Strongest others fight for the throne and the DBs are back. Then: King is replaced by his son and generals are still alive and ready for the second round. Back for "Fairy Tail".

The changes:

- Natsu and Lucy struggle against the new opponents, Gray comes and makes the battle himself. Then Mary and Jerome arrive resulting into the team getting incapacitated and imprisoned.

- Gray arrives to help Natsu and Lucy. They defeat Goumon with a combo-attack. Then they restrain him (WITHOUT that stupid stripping! It's not that difficult to make some funny scene without it!)

- The same elite battles, but some changes: Erza vs. Jerome taking longer. Wendy battles and defeats Mary. Gray & Juvia vs. Briar taking longer. Natsu & Lucy defeat Abel. Gajeel and Lily take on D-6 with the same difficulty. Natsu defeating Arlock also with the same difficulty. Then comes Ikusa-Tsunagi, which they destroy as a team with the help of Sting, Rogue and Sherria. (That IS a War-God! It should be the same level as Fairy Tail Gaiden's Higurenokami.) And then having Avatar arrested.

Alvarez Empire arc. That arc has lots of contras. Let's start:

- Spriggan 12 being the same level Ishgar's WSs are, NOT God Serena. Irene and August are exempt.

- Brandish being knocked out by a combo of Urano Metria and Fairy Glitter. She's supposedly one of the less durable Spriggan 12 members.

- God Serena being defeated and killed after a hard battle with the four WSs. Jacob tries to avenge him, August stops Jacob. Acnologia senses 7 Dragons are left.

- Laxus defeating and killing Wall with more Red Lightning attacks and having Wall also still some counter-attacks.

- Having Sherria defeating Dimaria with more attacks.

- Having Natsu and Jacob a longer duell before the latter loses.

- Having Neinhart enter a super-mode and Jellal having a difficult battle before Neinhart loses.

- Having Gajeel using more blows to Bloodman with Bloodman using some more curses before Gajeel kills Bloodman and having Gajeel return before the final battle.

- Having Gildarts vs. Historia!God Serena a little longer and showing all of God Serena's powers off before God Serena's Historia is destroyed.

- Having the Strauss siblings' battle prolonged.

- Having Gray with Lyon to defeat Invel with strategy.

- Having Juvia to return after the Natsu vs. Gray battle.

- Not overhyping Larcade as the third strongest, to make the the teamwork of Sting, Rogue and Kagura meaningful enough to make sense.

- Having Makarov's Fairy Law to destroy most of the soldiers and the two remaining Historias and using it against so many would cost his entire magic power and resulting in him getting comatose/near-dead and having him overcome it at the time of the 537 Chapter. Most would be dead from that, but Makarov being still strong enough to life on. (Almost no one suspect any character to be killed after some comebacks.)

- Having Elfman and Lisanna some help of Yukino and Minerva to beat Ajeel again. And having Ajeel and Yajeel to be not related at all.

- Wendy enchanting Erza to destroy the meteor.

- Having Jellal to return to fight August as well and them with Cana landing many hits before going down and then having August to use Ars=Magia and it ending the same way as in the manga.

- Having Natsu and Zeref to show some more spells and Natsu landing more hits before Natsu defeats the guy.

- Having the 7 DS landing more successful hits on Acnologia and having his dragon form to rampage slower and more (because the dragon loves destruction), before they beat and destroy him the same way they did in the manga.

- The ending may remain the same.

Nobody is perfect. But a good number of them would make it better. If not (and this is almost certain) the anime would suffer heavy decay, but also before the Tartaros arc "Fairy Tail" was not very well liked, so it's not a big deal.
