User blog comment:Minticus Maximus/Does Fairy Tail get any better after the GMG Arc?/@comment-21119641-20150812143956

The thing on Fairy Tail is that I don't hold any expectations, sorry if anyone is offended by this but that's it. Well how so? I mean...I got really used to an mangaka's way of doing his story after reading his work a lot, and I kind of got used to Hiro's despite the many complaints on the internet. People say Hiro does shit writing because his characters don't get that much development or whatever, I am not gonna talk about that even though I analyze characters and such. People also complain how he doesn't do plot twists or meh whatever. That is why I stopped to create expectations, even if an scene turns out bad, if I was holding expectations for it, I would possibly be pleased with the scene, and in turn I would be whiny about people having their own opinions or complaining about this certain scene.

I don't want to have a hard discussion with anyone...so I don't hold expectations. If something happens and it surprises me, good, lets follow on. If it happens, and I feel pleased with it, good, lets follow on. Even if it happens another way, in which I won't like it, I will follow on! People sometimes may complain because they wanted it to happen like that, or because they think this would've been better. Even when a different situation would've been better...it won't change, simple. That's why I respect people's opinions or complaints if they have fair arguments, I don't simply go bashing them because of it.

Onto it, the GMG was an okay arc, I won't lie, it pleased me but not completely. I hate to say it. Some fights were boring, some were hyped and turned out to end in one hit. Sometimes there were funny scenes...sometimes there were forced-funny ones. We got a lot of characters in it, but not all of them made me "WOAH" a lot really. After this arc, I can't say the next one is the best, but follow Zeon's lead on it, SV Arc is an okay one.

Then Tartarus Arc which for many holds up for the best FT arc. I can't really say what's the best Arc in FT as many are on the same level for me, yes. Tartarus was long, full of fights and reveals, and all that. There can be moments where you go "WOOOOOAAAAH" and moments where you're like "Uuhhh...so that's it?". It's not to bash the series or the arc but yeah. I will say that I think the Demons lacked some brutality...really...even when FT is a light-hearted series as we've seen. To complete it, we didn't have many losses in this arc, this is not a bad thing but, SPOILER (we got only one loss). As sad as it was, I think we needed more to really feel the impact of the arc and how threatening the demons were.

I will say, many characters got development during this arc, which is a pretty good thing seeing as how they evolved cuz of what they passed and such. You could feel the characters' feeling whenever they struggled, and I won't lie that not much characters struggled this arc, and when I felt they were struggling, it simply didn't happen. Much later though, I thought some of the characters would show how they changed, even in the slight, as we know that a couple of events doesn't turn a character 180º. But still, when reading current chapters, it makes me kind of feel, sometimes, that Tartarus wasn't that impacting. But this current one has hype and promises it, lets just wait and see how hard it can hit us.

That's it.
