#but by alvarez it was really really clear mashima didn't care anymore and had stopped trying and that's what really kills it stone dead tbh

[fairytail-whathesays]

it's not the most well-written or popular of arcs, but I want to know, what were some of your favorite things about the Alvarez arc?

When it ended.

#i apologize if this is not the answer you wanted anon #freed and ichiya vs fake wahl? bisca with the jupiter cannon? #nothing that should actually be a shining moment felt right #like if i were to cite a moment i thought was actually good i would not get very far before i started reaching to try and sell it #that whole arc is a blur and i try not to remember it #and everything i do remember is unpleasant #like you know it's bad when gray uses the Power of FriendshipTM and then tries to suicide + mind wipe his friends #were any of the spriggans good? #well uhhhh hang on #invel? no. brandish? no. dimaria? no. bloodman? no. #ajeel? maybe. wall? kinda-sorta. #jacob? no. neinhart? no. god serena? no. larcade? no. #august and irene? fuck no. #were the final battles with zeref or acnologia good? very much no. #like i'm sorry i can't think of a single thing that impressed me that wasn't immediately riddled with holes before it ended #even tartaros had some flashes of good despite how much i hated that arc #but by alvarez it was really really clear mashima didn't care anymore and had stopped trying and that's what really kills it stone dead tbh
