User blog comment:LastationLover5000/Fairy Tail 387 Quick Review - Father and Son/@comment-4326112-20140608010904

Not worth a real comment. This is just more BS and "meh" material. I know Hiro has it in his mind that this is supposed to be a big WTF moment, and I'm sure the Anime might be able to build it up better with stellar animation/voicework/epic music, but as it stands this is very underwhelming and quite frankly insulting. I think he fails to realize how much he's castrated his own series in the sense that there is no possible way to create legitimate drama, suspense, or belief that the good guys could lose.

One Piece has many similarities to Fairy Tail, in terms that the art style is similar and they also coined the phrase "Nakama Power" as it is so jocularly tossed around. But, at the very least, they create scenarios in which likable and constructed characters could POSSIBLY die or lose. The Crocidile Arc was a great portrayal of this as I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

This...This doesn't have ANY of the likability nor the chemistry that series possesses. BLEACH has more chemistry with its characters, not to mention better laced DRAMA than Fairy Tail does >.<

This was more of a rant than a chapter comment. I'm glad I didn't disappoint myself cause I had no expectations from the start. Thank you, Hiro, for not raising any expectations again so you can HAMMER THEM DOWN once more. :/
