Mixed feelings, it had a nice vibe to it but some things were dissapointing. Look I'm not a huge shipper (ok maybe I am) but teasing Natsu and Lucy that much and then doing nothing was a bit dissapointing. Nevertheless Fairy Tail has ended.
3 years ago if someone asked me what I thought about Fairy Tail I would say it's one of my favorite shounens to date. Why? Look it's not that the story was something phenomenal or anything but I enjoyed the overall vibe it gave. I've always been a sucker for a fantasy world adventure story so this sat perfectly with me. It had a few fantastic arcs and I loved the characters to death. But slowly it's problems began to show.
After a few fights everyone started seeing something, it was that every main villian fight would have to do something with "NAKAMA" power, at first I didn't think much about it. But when Erza and Natsu suddenly couldn't win a single fight by themself it began to get hate. Slowly the storys direction went nuts and everything got so fkn predictable.
Teases like Acnologia,END,Zeref, the ships and so on all had dissapointing conclusions. So much promise but we got almost nothing. Heck i've read dozens of fanfics of Fairy Tail that were better than this last arc.
But even with all these problems Fairy Tail had a way to make me happy, the good old fairy tail that is. I will never forget this manga even though it turned trash, the music from the anime, the badass moments and so on. I will always love Fairy Tail but at the same time hate it because it had so much promise.
Rave Master was alot better so I hope Mashima can get a writer for him instead in his next series so that he can concentrate on the art, which is gorgeous!
6/10 being generous because this is a special manga to me personally
