I need to get back into Fairy Tail. I've seen the first 60 episodes thanks to picking up Parts 1-5 and really enjoyed it - though I watched it all in English dub form. Nowadays (and considering my consistency failure with Part 1 *no slipcover with my copy*) I've decided to drop my plans with the Parts and focus on the Collection sets (cheaper and hey it fits the size of Phoenix Priestess!). So far there's 5 collections so that's up to Part 10.
I watch it with the English Dub. I usually have the show going whilst I'm do something else, as I tend to find that every arc is very drawn out and generally overstays its welcome. I think it's been better since the Ediolas Arc (Episode 90 something I want to say), but far from ideal. For the record I'm on episode 139/175 so far - and don't get me wrong, I still like the show - but a fair chunk of it is padded out and utterly boring. Combined with being an SD upscale and a show that has a lot of limited animation, I personally can't wait to start episodes 176+ since I'll at least be watching a HD Native show which
should have better animation.
