This manga is gettung dumber and dumber, and it started so fine too :/
Oh shut up and move on if it pains you so. Ignore character development for Flare or Wendy and the fact that Lucy can summon so many spirits at one time. But don't try to mask your clashing tastes.
How about you shut up and stop acting like a dick? Not everybody who comes here has to blindly love this series, so hold back with your comments and try to be a little more open-minded. How about it?
For me, it was a decent chapter. Nothing too special but better than the last few weeks.
See here's the thing. I don't give a fuck if they say they just hate the series. Good for them. What pisses me off is when people TRY to mask their true feelings to give them legitimacy. Signs of this are people who just proclaim that the manga is getting shittier without really elaborating or twisting things into a negative light to suit their point. And stop being a hypocrite since you were the same way when people did the same to Guilty Crown.
You actually are being super and stupidly rude Darklight.
I love Fairy Tail to pieces. I do. It's one of my favorites and it will be that way forever now since I love it so much. Huge fangirl- I draw fanart, read fan fiction, etc. I love it. In fact I'm pretty positive I love it far more than you.
But the new chapters are pretty bad. The reason is that they kind of ignore recent events and just jump into new ones and the fanservice is just ABSURD now. Before it was an even distribution- There was a lot of regular fanservice, but it also had a lot of manservice as well. Overall the earlier chapters/episodes felt more female-oriented, or at least safe for both genders. The new chapters are so very clearly male oriented. Yes, it's a shounen, but one of the reasons I love Fairy Tail is that for so long is had ENORMOUS female appeal.
It feels like this newest chapter is trying to bring some of that back, with the whole girl power thing, which was great, but it was still riddled with more fanservice than earlier chapters.
And, to elaborate more on the fanservice- In earlier chapters the fanservice was very very self aware. It was sort of like he put in fanservice then screamed "LOL FANSERVICE" later, so it really was FUNNY. Now, a lot of the fanservice feels more like that of an ecchi harem- With Kana groping lucy's boobs, Natsu doing the same (though as a NaLu fangirl I can't complain TOOOO much), Wendy fanservice here and there now... It's very much skewed and less self-aware.
And, just in general, the writing is really bad now. This set of villains is uninteresting and SUPER gimmickey- "Super" "Dunn"- It's just annoying, not funny. We're still early in the plot but it feels much less inspired than previous plots. The dialogue is also just.... Really bad. And yes I know these are translated scans, but even just the gist of what everyone is saying is much weaker than in previous arcs.
I also want to note that I did love the GMG arc, whereas as I know most others hated it- I am really referring to this new arc specifically, as well as to the end of the GMG arc which most people can agree was fairly weak. The transition between the two arcs was weak as well.
