They're actually running a little too close to the manga at this point, with only 4-5 volumes worth of material left. My guess is either a) they're gonna do the spoiler[Avatar arc] in the remaining episodes of this cour, maybe extend it over a few weeks for the next one and insert a short filler or b) insert two or three filler episodes (maybe from some of the specials) and take a one year break. I'm rooting for the second option since then (manga)spoiler[ it would make the one-year time skip feel stronger]

2014, Episode 100 (Episode 275) / (Fairy Tail Zero, 10 (Finale))
From 0 to A, I kind of really liked that theme. Although I kind of wish that we maybe saw more of the intervening stuff, maybe some early years up to Makarov. There was some emotional weight there even if you saw it so much ahead of time. Looking at the preview we are jumping right into post time skip. Mavis promised that Fairy Tail would not cause problems and destroy houses. Yeah, she got that wrong. Also yeah, Blue Skull was the beginning of Phantom Lord. I kind of felt like a few things were skipped over that was important to the story too, most importantly is what the real deal with Mavis is. We have seen the show, Mavis is frozen underneath the guild hall, it is even in the OP for the ark. Is there more to her and the island? The start of the guild Fairy Tail was a really cool bit. Also, the three treasure hunters looked like the guys from the Sun Village arc. |

There's only two episode left in this cour, episodes 276, and 277. Episode 276 has the title of chapter 418, and we don't have the title of episode 277 yet. So at this point there are pretty much two possibilities. Either the next issue or two of Shounen Magazine have some big announcements for the anime and it continues into the next manga arc, or they have nothing and episodes 276 and 277 adapt chapters 418 and 419 respectively, and the 2014 series for Fairy Tail ends at that point. |

Fairy Tail episode 101 (X792):
Honestly, this episode felt like a bore with the first half. I mean, it's nice to see Lucy again after the brief absence but I wasn't really into it. Until of course...Natsu arrived. That might of been the coolest part, seeing at how many times the word 'cool' was mentioned. So Fairy Tail disbanded hmm? Or at least so far. |

And Natsu probably did not get the memo because he left the day before and no one knew where he was. So I see him and Lucy gathering up the old members again. Everyone will probably be stronger too, Natsu has reached a new level, melting clothes. The "new" OP is kind of lazy, not that it is the same song as the Zero arc, but that I can pretty much recognise every part of it as recycled from the rest of series. All old stuff, nothing new. |

That would be because the series is ending. The Fairy Tail Zero arc is over, so they changed the animation to be more appropriate, but since they are only continuing long enough to get to a good stopping point they just did a bunch of scenes from the whole series. |

Lol they played the first theme OP song of the 2014 season.
I can't believe they plan to end the season here, just feels weird...but oh well. Had fun watching this series with its good and bad moments. Lucy's outfit also gave me some nostalgia in the finale (episode 102). Looking forward to more in the future if they plan to adapt the Avatar Arc. Not sure what to rate this yet but it was a fun ride. Had its good and bad moments. |

It was either end here, where they could get a decent open ending that included some parallels with the first episode of Fairy Tail, or go into a filler hell, or keep going until they had to insert a filler arc in the middle of a canon arc, or end the series mid arc again.

Nah they could have done the Avatar Arc and then go on break. |

Sure they could've, but this is a great stopping point, that way when the anime comes back it'll feel like a real one-year timeskip

Except the time skip already happened. If they wanted to do that they should have just ended it with Zero. |

But they wouldn't have been able to fit the Avatar arc in the two episodes to close off the cour, and they'd have to pad it to the extreme to stretch it over the Spring season. The Avatar arc is barely over a dozen chapters long after all. I honestly think they should've done a couple filler chapters here -like the silent chapter in which Natsu meets Gildarts and fights him- and close off with 1-year-later Lucy getting ready to cover the GMG while a cloaked Natsu looks over the arena or something, but this was fine too. They already padded and stretched Zero and Tartaros to the limits of their capabilities and made a mess out of them, I'd rather they give the manga some more room to breathe so whatever they do next isn't as sloppy

Well it's about 16 chapters so it could have worked. Not saying there wouldn't be a little filler mixed in but it would have worked well enough. |

Every animated episode takes up around 2-3 manga chapters. They'd have to stretch it A LOT, and we saw how great that worked out in the Sun Village and Tartaros arcs, with endless recaps, lots of scenes of people just spamming their powers at each other senselessly and people talking really slowly. It was awful. Besides, the cutting point post-Avatar would be more awkward than the one they chose, since that one blends into the next arc right away, having a one-year break there would feel harsher than right now, where the show has sort-of come full cycle. Starting withspoiler[ Lucy and Natsu getting Fairy Tail back together] will be a much better and lighter way to start the next season, whenever it comes, than jumping straight to spoiler[Mest revealing Mavis's past to everyone and them sailing off to Alvarez]
Basically, just because they could've done it, doesn't mean they should've, the chances of it being awful were high and the stop they chose makes for a much smoother transition |

Besides the problems that have already been mentioned, I don't think they could do that. The time slot they're in seems to sell for a year at a time. Certainly it's common for a bunch of stuff in that Saturday morning block to end in the spring after a year or two. So they couldn't just continue through the spring season and stop then, they likely would have had to commit to another full year. Which likely would have required at least 6 months of filler, at a point in the series where it's difficult to decently put filler, and then either take the risk of being in the middle of the next big arc when next spring rolls around, or waiting until next spring to start the next big arc. It's much better for them to stop here, wait a year, then start again in a great spot to resume the series, with a full year of additional material to work with. |
