User blog comment:LastationLover5000/Fairy Tail 388 Quick Review - Erza vs Minerva/@comment-1759748-20140618203809

. The painful truth is, Hiro just can't kill a character, even when the death scene could be used in a very dramatic...Oh who am I kidding, drama is the one key literary component FT NEVER had. Even a backstory that we all expected to leave us at least misty eyed instead made us LAUGH.

I do agree that Minerva's sudden redemption came right the flying frick outta nowere, especially since the last time we saw her, her response to Erza's upteenth invite to change was "Fuck you. I hate you, I wish death upon you, and I pray it be by my own hands." Okay, not in those words, but come on now, THAT is her character. Friendship is not magic to that woman, friendship is bullshit. Perhaps this is why I find this series so hard to take seriously,

Also, Wendy's haircut was rather...unexpected, but cute. I ain't gonna complain there.
