NEWS: Fairy Tail Anime's 2nd Year Confirmed

Bwuh? Is this a serious comment? Yeah, there are some sequences that are just panning still shots (there have been at least one or two of these montages in almost every episode of the arc so far), but that's because 1) there's SO MUCH HAPPENING everywhere that you simply can't show it all, and 2) those panning shots are coming in between sequences of excellent animation (especially for a shounen). Stuff like Marco vs. Kizaru, for example. Or really much of anything involving any of the significant characters.

See, here's someone who knows what he's talking about.

That's because One Piece actually has well known key animators working on it, specially for fighting/action scenes (BIG names such as Naotoshi Shida, Kenji Kuroyanagi and Yoshikazu Tomita - do some search), something that Fairy Tail lacks completely.
Hell, sometimes FT seems done by complete amateurs - in fact, this show has very few regular animators, and most of them are total nobodies. No wonder the action sequences are usually a bunch of poorly drawn still shots with zero fluidity, it's almost embarassing to watch.

An absolutely horrible show.

If its on Crunchyroll doesn't that generally mean Funimation passed on it?

No, Crunchyroll licenses titles for streaming only (usually) direct from the Japanese licensers and usually does so before the shows premiere in Japan. Their license is different from the master licenses or DVD/BR licenses that companies like Viz, FUNi, and the rest go for. There have been several cases of Crunchyroll having the same licenses that other distributors have, just look at Naruto, Bleach (both of which are a week ahead of Viz's stream), Gintama, Eyeshild 21, Tower of Druaga, or Linebarrels of Iron, among many others.

This is truly excellent news! I love the show. My only question is: does this announcement mean there will be no time break between the end of this "season" (scheduled for Sept. 27, according to the ANN encylopedia) and the beginning of the next season? Or will the new season only start in 2011 at some point?

I think Naruto has much worse animation than One Piece or Fairy Tail.

I think Norio Matsumoto & Sessha Gorou would like to have a word with you. Look them up especially on youtube. In fact out of the most popular shonen series Naruto (although its has become more inconsistent of late) consistently has the most well animated fight scenes

I'm not attacking you I'm just stating the facts

The show will continue on without break.
