Fighting Festival Arc - All characters had their own spotlight. I mean, BEST spotlight. A good plot, Laxus is a good antagonist, good battles and the best of all, MIRA had her best fight!

Phantom Arc - Same reasons with number one. I can't say anything bad about it. The emotions of family and friendship are there. Natsu's best fight is in this arc and that is his fight with Gajeel.

Tenrou Arc - Same reasons with number one but Ultear's fight with Gray disappoints me a lot and Mira was defeated and has less spotlight.

Tower of Heaven - This is Erza's story and I like it. I can feel her fear in returning to her past. Also HER fight with Ikaruga is my BEST ERZA BATTLE in my opinion. My disappointment: Juvia was there to be an enemy and for Lucy's shining moment. I thought Juvia is going to show her real strength.

Key of the Starry Sky Arc - unexpectedly, even though it's a filler, I like how the minor characters had each role in this arc. The animation, at least, give credits on their strength after 7 years. The plot is okay but I think they rush the story to give way to GMG arc.But then again. i really like this arc. I like the openings and endings too.

worst:

GMG - sorry, i really don't like this arc. the introduction of new characters is okay to me, but some battles, overpowered characters, Ultear's one minute sacrifice made me disappointed in this arc.
