So it's finally over... I've been a bit bored with Fairy Tail for quite some time now but I really enjoyed it at one point. So I suppose nostalgia is the reason why it still hurts me a bit to see FT go. But it’s a good thing it’s over; reading the manga was becoming rather tedious.
As far as this chapter is concerned, so much shipping... kind of. I enjoy the ships so I read most of the chapter with a grin on my face. Some things do bother me though.
Only one year has past so how on earth did Mavis and Zeref get reincarnated? That’s just stupid. Also, I really enjoyed how Mavis and Zeref died; they ended up together in death and I thought that part was done nicely. So putting something like this in the last chapter kind of ruins that part.
Also, why a 100 year quest? That is so unnecessary. The entire team can’t possibly stay away for years like Gildarts, right? I guess it doesn’t really matter anymore though. And as far as Aquarius key is concerned... Wait, there wasn’t any mention of that, was there? That’s a bit of a bummer.
All the other guilds are doing well. Especially... Mermaid Heel. When I saw Kagura like that saying, “What am I doing?”, I thought, yeah, what ARE you doing? Kagura was such a cool character so why? Aren’t there enough characters for fanservice?
Speaking of fanservice, Gray and Juvia are like a stripping couple now. And they actually are a couple. So are Levy and Gajeel. Elfman and Evergreen are kind of together. And Erik and Kinana. Lucy kind of got friendzoned.
And last but most certainly not least... Jellal is free! I am so happy. I knew it was going to happen but I still did a few fist-pumps when I read that he had been pardoned. But the thing that annoyed me is that that’s all we get. Ok, fine, Erza does her hair everyday but I was sincerely hoping for something more. The relationship between Jellal and Erza was one of my favorite parts of FT and I felt that their relationship had been developed really nicely. I can’t believe this is the sort of ending we end up with.
I guess that Mashima is good at building things up but he doesn’t execute things too nicely in the end. It’s upsetting but then again, very few manga seem to end on a satisfactory note. My favourite manga of all time is Ranma ½ and even that manga’s ending is unsatisfactory.
Enough of my ranting... I had a lot of fun times reading FT so I suppose I will miss it a bit. But in the end all I have to say is, goodbye Fairy Tail!
