Welcome to the Chapter Review Corner

If you're still reading past that point, you all know full well what you are getting into. I'm just gonna come right out and say it: I hated this chapter.

This isn't even going to be in a proper review format, not even a Quick Review, this chapter has lost the right to a proper review right now. To me, this entire chapter was Happy all over again. Yeah. Remember that? Remember that? That complete and utter bullshit moment where Happy survived an explosion meant to destroy an entire town unmarred, simply because Hiro is too afraid to kill anyone in his cast. Look at Naruto. While I may bash the series frequently, at least Kishi isn't too afraid to kill characters, especially important ones. Look at Hiruzen, Asuma, Jiraiya, and Neji. They were all killed, and brutally at that, and their deaths impacted the people close to them in various ways. Naruto was never so hung up on protecting peace until Jiraiya died, and he found out what Jiraiya had strived for for so long; a world without conflict, where people can understand each other. Is it cheesy? Yes. Did it give Naruto something to PROTECT? Yes! He frickin' fights to defend Jiraiya's legacy now. But noooo, to Hiro, death is just something that doesn't exist for the good guys! The entire moral of Fairy Tail can be summed up like this: So long are you are a good guy, you will not be killed. Even if you are, some asspull occurrence will save you merely seconds later. IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT! Hell, that was one of the biggest problems with Pokémon The First Movie.



Ash Ketchum was turned to stone by Mewtwo and Mew, and did he stay dead? Nooooo. The Pokémon used their tears of unfathomable sadness to bring their fallen hero back to life. You. Don't. Do. That. Especially in a kid's film, you don't go around teaching the children that if you cry hard enough, dead people come back to life. Hiro, meanwhile, prances around like death is just a myth for the good guys. Any of you ever seen 'The Christmas Tree'? I don't recommend it because it's awful, but at the end of the movie, they outright stated the moral as "You always win when you are good."

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You just....I'm speechless. I am speechless as this utter bullshit of a chapter. Hiro couldn't kill one person in this entire thing? I could understand main characters like Wendy or Gajeel, but not Jet? Droy? Macao? Not even Romeo? Nope, everyone had to live. And while it was nice to see Cana do...well, something, did she really have to save them all? That's my issue, NO ONE DIED, and the problem is we all called it, everyone knew it was gonna happen and it still pisses me off. And what just makes me angrier is Natsu and Lisanna are free and Mira and Erza are perfectly fine. For my own benefit, I will post this:



I'm not sure if this means Mira is a demon from the start, or what, but either way, you really couldn't have brainwashed these two, Hiro? You had such an awesome premise here, the strongest mages in Fairy Tail after Makarov and Gildarts, turned into demons and fighting their friends. But no, fuck that, Fairy Tail has to come out on top. This is what ticks me off. Hiro was on such a roll, the series even seemed to be getting darker, but then he shows once again he has to get all Carebears/My Little Pony on us. I'm surprised the entire world of Earthland isn't sunny, with smiling flowers, sparkling lights everywhere and a unicorn riding a marshmallow rainbow, because seriously.

I'm done, that's all. To anyone who sat through this and hated it...well, I gave you a huge red warning. I'll see you lot next week, hopefully in normal review format.
