I also respectfully disagree. Maybe GMG was a mixed bag, but so far the Tartaros Arc is effing fantastic.

Yeah, I know -- Arcs in Fairy Tail normally start off great, but I can't deny how excited I am to tune in every week. IMHO, I think Fairy Tail has never been better.

Also, regarding fanservice, I don't think its that bad. Honestly, my eyes just pass right over most of it. The fanservice to me is superficial compared to the fact that this is a manga with strong, powerful, and important women in it. That is so incredibly rare in the mangaverse (shounen, shoujo, josei, and seinen alike), so Mashima can show as much skin as he wants, imo.
