Top Ten Best Fairy Tail Arcs

The Top Ten
1 Grand Magic Games

In my opinion, this arc was the most fascinating of all of the arcs in Fairy Tail. In this arc, we are introduced to something that is portrayed better in this arc than any other, the power-ranking of characters in FT. This arc is based on comparing abilities of different characters, which I am sure many fans find interesting. In all of the other arcs, Fairy Tail is always the BEST, and no matter HOW STRONG the enemy is, Fairy Tail ALWAYS WINS! Fairy Tail is best of the best. Always. Fairy Tail is the MAIN FOCUS. Always has the spotlight. ALWAYS... okay I think you get it. But the beauty of this arc is that it doesn't work that way. There are losses and ties, and it really emphasizes the true difference in power of different characters, no plot armor or friendship boosts or anything. Most other arcs have some miracle which gives Fairy Tail the advantage over the enemy, and well... they win. Nobody dies, very few losses ever. This arc, for once, brings us to REALITY. Of course, the GMG is not flawless. I didn't like the outcome of Laxus vs. Jura, Erza vs. Minerva, or Sting vs. Team FT (I don't know why the hell Sting gave up, although the moment where Sting and Lector were reunited brought me to tears). But overall, the fights were very suspenseful and interesting. As a bonus, this was the only arc that I binged watched, and I am NOT a binge-watcher. I watched 20 episodes in a day. So that's all I have to say about this arc. I thought it was pretty detailed, and mostly well-written.

2 Tartaros

Probably my favorite arc of Fairy Tail, but its back on forth with this and the Grand Magic Games.
After Tenrou Island, I was eager to see the final dark guild make their move and when I finally arrived at the Tartaros arc, it delivered.
The battles felt more high stakes than before and Tartaros really felt like a threat Fairy Tail struggled with.
The story is very good too. And seeing the Dragons return was awesome! I mean Igneel himself comes back and fights mah boy Acnologia!
This was just a really great arc that surprised me cause I did'nt think it would be as good as it ended up being.
Though I wish Jellal and Meredy had some more to do, but seeing Jellal fight the Oración Seis was epic as fudge!

3 Tenrou Island

I love Tenrou Island! It was another great arc with epic battles and stinking Acnologia himself!
Plus, we got Erza very appropriately named Seduction Armor, which I need to see more of!

I loved this arc! The S-Class promotion trial where you had to fight the 3 S-Class wizards was amazing! And the introduction of grimorie heart and Zeref and Acnologia was cool!

4 Tower of Heaven

This arc made me cry

Best ending so far

5 Oracion Seis
6 Edolas

Edolas was a fantastic arc that I really enjoyed!
Traveling to an alternate dimension and seeing our favorite characters look and act so different was great.
I loved Mystogan's involvement and how Gajeel got his cat.
Also, Erza Knightwalker is HOT!
Great arc indeed.

7 Galuna Island
8 Phantom Lord
9 Battle Of Fairy Tail
10 Alvarez

There is a great and fun story in this arc, unfortunately it is so rushed. The Spriggan 12 where some seriously hyped up mages and have some of the lamest defeats in the whole anime.
Being the final arc of Fairy Tail, this arc should have been far, far better and we deserved better. A huge shame it is that the anime did'nt fix this arc.
Battles are also short, and the battles in the anime are filled with far too much still animation.
In the end, this finale was extremely dissapointing.
