I'mma give this a try, I guess. I won't include the Alvarez Empire arc, simply because it's not finished and it might (most probably) have much more to offer, meaning my opinion on it is most likely to change. It would definetly have been on this list though.


 * 1) Tenrou Island arc: Fairy Tail's S-class Mage Promotion Trial turned into an all-out war against the strongest Dark Guild of the Balam Alliance? Hell-the-fuck yeah! Awesome bad guys (Azuma, Hades, Rustyrose etc.), the whole of the FT guild working as one, nice plot-twists, Bickslow with screen time and the list just goes on. Zeref's, Mavis' and Acnologia's introduction arc really sat the standards and is to date in my opinion one of the most important arcs when it comes to the story plot.
 * 2) Tartaros Arc: An arc was never kicked off with such a bang. The whole Magic Council destroyed, civilians dying in thousands, introduction of Zeref's Demons... yeah. It all hit me and it hit me hard. A few of the main enemies were a bit meh, but all in all, the Nine Demon Gates were cool when considering them as a whole. Silver. o/ And also, Mard!! o/ A lot happened with the main characters in this arc, they developed nicely. Thus, this arc properly sat up for a time-skip, where the main characters would have time to grow on from what they had experienced through the fight against Tartaros.
 * 3) Grand Magic Games arc: Although it ended up pretty far-fetched and out of control, this arc was probably my number 1 favorite up until the Dragon invasion. The whole tournament was awesome, with great fights and events. We also got to see some of fan favorites from old arcs i.e Jura, Hibiki, Lyon and even Milliana. Most of my favorite moments in the Fairy Tail series were from this arc.
 * 4) Oracion Seis arc: Could have been better, Zero was the basically the shittest final villian ever... that rhyme though. Jokes aside, this arc introduced, at that time, a lot of cool new characters who would return later in the series. Jellal even returned, this time as a good guy, yey! :) The Oracion Seis, with their prayers and histories, were awesome, especially Cobra! (^ |||| ^) All in all a good arc, although it had it's faults.
 * 5) Battle of Fairy Tail arc/Tower of Heaven arc/X791 arc: The number 5 spot ended up as a draw between 3 arcs, since I couldn't really choose between them. The Battle of Fairy Tail arc was great, mostly because some of the lesser characters got screen time. Also, Mirajane turned Demon and Laxus as a villian! ( ^_^)/ The Tower of Heaven arc was interesting as it had a more serious tone to it than the other arcs thus far and Erza and Jellal's backstory had an impact on me. The X791 arc, though short, had a few awesome moments and focused a bit on the lesser characters again and their loyalty towards their beloved guild, Fairy Tail.
