Alpha, the changes Natsu receives are probably quite subtle. One of the prominent changes was, well, he left to go by himself without telling anyone. Another thing? Admiring Lucy's willpower, as I said before. But he kept quiet about that and hasn't given Lucy a glimpse of why he's taken the actions he has. That's different, right? You can't expect our dimwitted icon of Fairy Tail to suddenly make a turnaround and become wholly serious. He's always going to be stupid on the outside. We've barely seen him on-screen and you're expecting his character to suddenly "develop" and become "mature"?

If you were suffering stupidity for the 418 chapters prior, then why not take the series in a more light-hearted manner, Fire? This series isn't meant to be a display of exceptional writing capability. It's a series about friendship overcoming all odds. Yes, "Nakama Power." Sorry you have to deal with shonen cliches.

Nobody putting him in his place? What exactly has he done that's such a massive crime that needs him to be executed? Besides all the rampant property destruction associated with FT (which you can arrest them all for), he hasn't committed any massive crime besides being the author's center-piece for Shonen cliches to be expressed.

Cast not worthy of care? I'd beg to differ. The cast outside of the main characters are actually quite interesting. Gray, Juvia, Laxus, Levy, Gajeel. Most of these people are interesting. They're just hidden and their changes are given in an unorthodox way that you seem to be unable to pick up due to your constant rage at the series.

Twist your perspective a little and stop hoping for some miraculous writing by Hiro. At least make an effort to see Fairy Tail as a light-hearted series, as it is meant to be.
