Enough Fairy Tail

/images/05523.jpg

After 29 episodes, I have about 115 candidates, and that's enough. I hung on to ep 29 because it had this image:

which was just too nice to leave out. Lucy is gorgeous. Anyway, I realized this morning that I had used the AsoIku OVA but hadn't used the regular series, so that's next. But first I'm going to process all the ones I got from Fairy Tail and add them to the top rotation. Which needs more Lucy.

UPDATE: By the way, regarding Loke:

UPDATE: I should have known this would happen. I can't stop yet, episode 31 is an onsen episode.

UPDATE: As to my question, it was ep 32, and I had tears in my eyes watching it. Just about the best thing in the show so far.

UPDATE:

Another 30 images up through ep 32, and now I really am through.

1 Fairy Tail is quite a good series.  It's still got a lot of shounen trappings (especially in the later arcs), but a lot of moments really do work very, very well. 

Of course, having Lucy and Ezra around is never going to hurt a series.  Though Fairy Tail does have a tendency for far too much male nudity.  /stares at Gray.   Though you might like Juvia, as well, but she doesn't show up for a bit.

One thing that's nice is that it has female protagonists, who aren't invariably treated as damsels in distress or only as fan service object. Lucy and Erza are gorgeous and they themselves know it and like it that way, but they're also good wizards and the show never forgets that. This isn't Ikki Tousen.

It's interesting how many wizards from Phantom end up joining Fairy Tail eventually, isn't it?

This was an amazing moment:

4 Oddly enough, it's become a running gag that Lucy always get matched up with the antagonist that she's least able to deal with.  She doesn't end up "damsel in distress", more "damsel running for her life". 

You're getting close to the "Tower" arc (forget the full arc name), but Ezra gets some supremely great moments in that arc.
