Frequently asked

How many filler episodes does Fairy Tail have?

Fairy Tail has 37 filler episodes out of 175 total, or 21.1% of the series.

Which Fairy Tail episodes can I skip?

Skip episodes 9, 19–20, 49–50, 70–75, 125–150.

Is Fairy Tail filler worth watching?

Filler is written by the animation studio to avoid overtaking the manga, so it sits outside the main story and rarely changes anything that matters later. Skipping it costs you nothing on a first watch.
