To me, it's an ok anime... I got quite hooked in the Adolas arc, I really loved Erza vs Erza fight... but then after episode 92, I lost the drive to carry on with the series.. it took me so long to get to episode 103(one episode per week), then got a little more interested when Kagura was introduced... if it wasn't for her, I would ultimately drop it... since lately there was a lack of Zeref(best written character on that show), I like Erza and everything, but sometimes I get fed up of seeing her face.
As for the fanservice it really is unneeded, the whole friendship powers gets lamer as the series goes on... Erza vs Erza is a perfect example of skill, dynamics and intensity. I would have liked it, if they drop the friendship power ups and do more strategic fighting. I like Kagura simply because she kicks ass, focused on her goal and also wears something called CLOTHES. I may seem old fashioned or whatever, but that's my thoughts.
