@Corsair:
I like Blue Pegasus, after initially hating the entire lot of them, but the problem is, short of Hibiki and his awesome magical internet powers, none of them have done anything. It's bad enough when we have 20 members of Fairy Tail who never get a fight, or even an on-screen mission, but we're probably not going to see these Blue Pegasus guys again, so this is their only chance to do something.
Hell, even that awesome Airship Bomber got blown up before it got a chance to do anything.
well i also wish we could see some more fairy members do stuff, missions, their fights ect. and same with these temp alliance guys and all that.
but then at the same time i am reminded of bleach. So sure it would be nice to see them fight and all that, but then again we would go no where. I like how fairy tail has been. We are focused on the main characters (lucy/natsu) and follow their tales. Like in one piece we see others powers for an attack or two at most, just a tease to let us know what they can do. Then lets us use our imagination for the rest.
I would rather have these short 40 chapter arcs with only seeing our 5 peoples fights fully (which are only a chapter or 2 anyway) than having to spend 100+ chapters showing each member and their powers fighting (think of how long the fairy tail fighting would have been when luxis made that battle if it was like bleach and we saw all fights)
And then think of naruto. How much was it getting hated on for focusing on sasuke and not seeing naruto ever. or even these last few one piece. NO matter how epic they have been we all were so happy to finally see luffy back in the picture.
So sure seeing others fight and on their own adventures sounds awesome and what not, but really we would all be hating it. Sure its fun seeing all these guys' battles in bleach, or seeing exactly what sasuke is doing. Makes it so we aren't ever in the dark. But really think of blackbeard. What if we saw him as much as sasuke. We would lose all the surprises and mystery behind him and what he is tryng to do. And think of some characters in bleach you just hate and find boring. Well with so many people and tyring to think of powers and stuff can be impossible to keep them all cool and fresh. So just hinting and showing brief glimpses like one piece and fairy tail have done is what keeps us wanting to see more. There may not be more worth even seeing, but we don't know that. We think they are cool and awesome.
