I completely understand. No worries. Figured this would make your journey and decision making a bit easier. I remember you guys saying you wanted to check out the OVAs. I don't know why I didn't do this sooner.

Yooo logan you’re the best!! Appreciate you typing out this guide for us😆
Josh and I plan on watching all of the Fairy Tail content! I know we’re behind on some of the OVA’s but it’s so hard to step away from the grand magic games!

The forthcoming episode will reveal the identity of an unidentified woman and I'm sure you'll be surprised to see it. And I want you to watch closely to see how the woman will affect Nats and Lucy after that.

Also in terms of character growth for the arc there are a lot of character interactions that are amazing that adds a lot of impact and emotion in later arcs.

I agree. In terms of episode 202 and 203 I say "filler" cause its easier. Technically filler to an extent. Most filler in FT are technically canon anyway. Zero is top 3 favorite arcs in FT and the filler arc of 204-218 is lower on my list but not at the bottom.

Episodes 202-203 aren't filler, they're omake adaptations. Same with 219-222 and 226. Either way, they're good standalone episodes and many are a must watch IMO.
Fairy Tail Zero is easily my favourite arc, so I agree there. I don't know why people mention it separately like here, it's canon and even if it was serialised differently, in the anime it's treated normally so I don't think it needs mentioning.
As for the filler arc from 204-218... I like how it ended but it's still my least favourite filler in the entire show so I personally wouldn't be too upset if they skipped it. Doesn't really compare to Key of the Starry Sky for me. That being said, character growth, as you mentioned
What is it with Fairy Tail and wedging in filler/semi filler arcs between some of the greatest arcs in the series 😭😭

Josh was right about the limits of Rufus' magic. It's one of those magic types that's overpowered in theory but falls flat in execution; no matter how powerful the magic he's copying, he's still performing the spell for the first time. His attacks won't hit as hard, so they're basically inferior copies. Gray does have good endurance but that's not the only reason he was able to get up from Rufus' copied spells so many times haha
Also I know this'll be up on YouTube in a couple of months but I just wanted to let you two know that the episode indicator on the top left of the screen says 177-178 instead 179-180. ^_^ a pretty minor thing but just though I should let you two know!

The fact that it's been over 20 episodes and the "minstrel who sings to the red moon" line is still stuck in your heads is hilarious to me 😭😭 thank you for the laughs
Also, a bit of an explanation on them calling Mavis "number one". 初代 (shodai) means "founder" or "first ___", so it's a bit of a translation error but also accurate at the same time; they're basically calling Mavis "first master", because they never refer to the guildmasters by their names due to how much older they are. Before, everyone would just call Makarov master, but now that Mavis is here and Macao is technically also a former guildmaster, referring to them by ordinal honorifics makes things less confusing. Hope this clears that up

Figure I'd let you guys know now so you can write it down for later and decide how to continue. Episode 201 is the last episode of the current arc GMG. 201 is also mixed canon and filler. 202 and 203 are filler. Starting at 204 starts a new filler arc. 204-218 for the filler arc. Do what you will with this one. Majority of fans aren't a big fan of this arc but I don't mind it to much. Has some really good moments. I'd recommend not skipping for character growth. From 219 to 222 are stand alone fillers but in my opinion are some of the best single filler. 223-224 is a short 2 ep filler arc. Fun arc tho. 225 and 226 are stand alone filler again. From 227 all the way to 265 is the final canon arc to Fairy Tail 2014 or season 2 if you will. If you decide to skipping fillers the filler episodes I would at least recommend is 219, 220, 223, and 224. After episode 265 is the 12 episode prequel arc called Fairy Tail Zero. Very good arc. Starts at episode 266-277 with episode 268 being a single filler episode. 278 starts the final season of Fairy Tail. No more fillers after this. 278-328 are the last set of episodes. If you guys plan on watching the movies and OVAs, I made in depth guide to help when or if you guys want to watch them.
