@Ghost-Edge, did you just compare FT to other shonen?
Look i have read like 80% of long runing shonen battle series, and i can say without any hesitation that FT is far far behind them no comparison, don't call me hater, because when i read FT for the first time i said this manga should at least be in my top 10 best manga ever, do you any idea of how great potential it has in the beginning? the world could have been ever vaster than OP's world... just by the world magic you can create a lot of crazy things... but guess what? mashima prefer romance and nakama power up.
I don't have any problem about someone saying FT is my favorite manga of all time, like you said in the end it's enjoyability that matters, BUT, make difference between enjoyability and quality,
you can like a shitty work simply because you find something that interest you, something you really like, and you can dislike a great work simply because you don't like the content.
And always when i speak about FT, people say "well, do you have a great character like erza"
first of all, erza is all but a good character, in fact she is really really bad character, just for example
this latest Armor that she used against minerva, this is an Over Powered armor that should not be used without a secondary effect (at least)... it's really fucked up this armor, i'd rather see nakama power up instead of this bull shit created of nowhere, seriously if erza has this armor from the begginning of the manga, why didn't she used it against achnologia for example? or against jupiter (from phantom lord arc) she could have simply canceled the magic...
oh and the little FB we got from kagura, that's new, mashima never planned this and never forshadowed it, and it has some contradiction, because in the FB we can see kagura and erza at pretty much the same age, so with the 7 years time skip (which was BS by the way) kagura should have been looking more mature than erza....
