I don't automatically hate filler. I'm usually very optimistic. The Key of the Starry Sky arc filler had potential but was incredibly boring and unfortunately ended up being one of the longest lasting Fairy Tail anime arcs to date. If this one is going to last a good amount of episodes, I hope it'll be worth it.

I think one of the reasons that KOTSS was so bad was because they tried to bring back all these older characters but they couldn't really change them drastically because their quirks and personalities were already set in stone, and not much in the way of developement happened making the antagonist rather boring. Even though Earthland versions of the Edolas antagonists are technically different characters, the only one that was mildy sufferable was Coco. Now that we have new characters, the arc will be much more interesting (I hope). Plus, Mashima is going to handle the rough plot so that's good.

Part of me doesn't even care if the story doesn't make since in this new filler, I just don't want it to be boring. Well, here's hope that it turns out much better than KOTSS.
