And it most certainly will be oozing plot and quality storytelling. The first one in particular.
-
Quantity over quality, then.
-
The art looks different from Hiro-chan's though. Things could be different if someone else took over the story. Or its spin-offs.
Heck, looking at it closely, Fairy Girls' style looks better than Mashima's generic drawings already. Oh my, could we be looking at what will become a tale of two female magicians, traveling the world, pursuing their individual goals? They could meet different characters on their way, make allies, encounter enemies, dangers; Find friends, part with them, lose them… Ooh, all those possibilities! And they'd be different from Lucy. They'd stand their ground, use magic in a clever and creative way. Maybe even include some melee techniques? Or maybe this... or maybe that!
Or it could be an exact copy of FT with a different art style.

For spin-offs, these are mostly done by different author, not by the author him/herself.
-
If anyone could draw two series at once it's Mashima, he's a machine. Not that either one would have anything resembling a half decent plot.
-
As long the story for both of them are free from Mashinma's direct influence, it's worth looking forward even though they both are most likely very shoujo manga.
-

Honestly, that's the definition of "generic manga style" I don't think Mashima's style is that generic/bad
-
How predictable, the thing with silvers body being possesed I called as soon as I read the chapter from last week and oh boy what a cliffhanger. Is gray gonna die? I'm on pins and needles here, the anticipation is killing me. As if…
He can do some creative stuff, but most of the time his art is on autopilot, with same faces everywhere and just standard generic manga art.
-
Anyone else catch the FACE with a rape face?
-
If this manga were any more predictable it'd be a 1 page dictionary with 26 words from A-Z.

But you know… predictable isn't really bad. Not always, anyway.
-
Thats true, execution is everything. A movie like How To Train Your Dragon is relatively predictable, but damn near perfect.
Unfortunately for FT, its execution is agressively uninspired, like watching a badly written romantic comedy play out two decades worth of cliches comepletely straight-faced.

Sounds like Nisekoi

Sounds like Nisekoi
why do you hate nisekoi so much?
because the plot isn't going anywhere for 100++ chapters?as for the recent chapter, it's better for silver to be deliora rather than gray from the future/gray's child
-
:blink: Wait, is Silver's ice magic actually his or is it Deliora's?
-
:blink: Wait, is Silver's ice magic actually his or is it Deliora's?
Deliora's I assume. I don't think it was mentioned that anyone in Gray's family was an ice mage too.
-

It's Deliora's. Since Silver and Deliora are one being there is no need to distinguish.
Btw, Fairy Girl's spin-off will be taking place in hot springs and at beaches only. If done right they won't even have to draw a single piece if clothing besides bikinis and panties.
This spin-off must be Mashima's dream come true. -

Thanks! I'll call him Deliver for now :ninja:

…I should've known. If there's any material that could be made spin-off from Fairy Tail, it's the fanservice.
-
This is going to be the easiest manga to draw ever! Who needs dialog and story progression if you can have dem Fairy Girl's trying to take away each other's bras and panties while eating strawberry cake and fooling around in the water. And for the other spin-off just replace dem Fairy Girl's with Wendy and Carla and be like 10% less direct and in the reader's face about the fanservice.

Only 10%?
So basically all the readers will be monitored by the secret services for suspicions of child pornography. -

I bet you walking tits like Erza and Mirajane will regularly pop in for a visit to stuff their E-cups into the readers' faces; meanwhile Wendy will rock the usual cute skirt attire and bathing suit collection to round everything up. The addition of Wendy represents the 10% reduction in itself, everything else will be like always. Same shit, different day - or serialization, for a matter of fact.

Wait a second. So it's confirmed that the spinoff will be "fanservice - the manga"?
-
Nakayoshi, where Blue Mistral will be published, is a shoujo magazine.
Instead of Wendy fanservice, expect dreamy Jello-senpai to notice you a lot.
-

So basically nothing new, since fairy tail = ''fanservice - the manga''^^
-
Mashima should have used this opportunity. Instead of drawing Fairy Tail Zero he could have drawn a manga full of bikinis, panty shots, no plot, lots of fanservice, a loli and many half naked (or naked for the hot springs) girls that are blushing 24/7 and are having fun in the water.
-
I think fairy tail will never end. He is going to ride that money train for as long as he can, creating countless spin-offs and so on. And why wouldn't he? There is no real work involved, story is generic and created on the fly and art is on auto pilot.
-
:ninja: Come to think of it, has Mashima ever released any FT Fanbook before? That's another productive way to release pent-up urge to draw fanservices without harming the storyline.
-
If you're going to sell out, at least do it for lots of titties and panties.
-
Funny thing, the series itself hasn't had that much (at least less than usual) fanservice since the naked, tortured girls started wearing clothes again, what, 10-20 chapters ago? Yet, it (or complaining about it) is still the big talk in this thread. I almost look forward to the next big, obligatory "Fairy Girls get together in the guild's bath house or some new, unknown, healing-properties hot spring" chapter just to read how the comments escalate. :P
-
^ Well, totally random fanservice is, after all, Fairy Tail's hallmark: you can't expect people forget about it, just because Mashima, for some chapters, has drawn less boobs and buttocks than usual. Besides, if you stop complaining about fanservice, you're forced to complain about how lame the whole story is and how many chichés you can spot in every single chapter, no matter what's happening in it.

I know One Piece fans aren't complaining about a manga lasting forever for the sake of lasting forever…. -__-

This is you implying One Piece fans will admit to being hypocrites.

One piece isn't lasting forever just to last forever, it has an actual story to tell wich is planned out, instead of being made up week to week with no effort put into it and filled with fanservice to keep it going.
-
I think some people on here misunderstand the difference between phoning it in to make an action driven fanservice manga under the guise of a story about dragons vs. a plot driven story that encompasses an entire fictional world.

Hmm? Are you perhaps talking about Meitantei Conan :ninja: ?
In Fairy Tail itself as far as I've read, one arc has very little connection to the others (except the recurring Jerralds) it's rather difficult to tell if it's actually making any progress from larger perspective. It feels like the story sidetracks a lot, as if it's trying to distract me from some abandoned plot points (Natsu wanting to find Igneel, Lucy wanting to become a novel writer etc). And even though Fairy Tail is also categorized as Adventure genre, I can barely remember the last time it felt like that. Perhaps only the early chapters that count. Lately, It emphasizes more on "New Asses to Kick" rather than "World Exploration", because it seems that the world is always at stake even before Fairy Tail steps in. They never had any chance to go in an adventure to begin with!
Fairy Tail could have been a short manga if only it was more focused on the missing Dragons and Natsu's effort on searching for the hints, whatever they may have anything to do with Zeref or the Dark Guilds.
-
Yeah, to be honest, remembering the arcs from the top of my head, all of them had very little information about the apparent two major plots in FT:
- The X777
- Anything Zeref and his relation to Natsu
Reminds of Gantz, always pilling up question and never answering any of them.
At least we haven´t got 2 chapters of Lucy running around in different scenarios while shouting "Natsu-kun, Natsu-kun" -
Regardless if One Piece does it's thing way better than Fairy Tail, you cannot tell me Oda planned for his series to go on as long as it has. And regardless of how good the story has become, to think that it's still around SOLELY because Oda planned it the whole time is ludicrous. Oda knows One Piece is a cash cow… and that's why it's still going. Or at least part of the reason why. That should be obvious.
Shit on Fairy Tail's mediocrity all you want, but when I see OP fans complaining about the length of a series... of all things... all I really can do is shake my head. One Piece is a great series and one of the few shonen I still follow... but honestly, this forum kinda over-rates it a bit, while shitting on everything else. Not saying FT doesn't have problems... 'cause it has a shit-ton... but length isn't one of them... honestly, for a long running series, it's actually pretty brisk in terms of pacing.

I believe he admitted (in either SBS or Interview, I forgot) that the story took longer to tell than he had initially planned. I guess that was indeed miscalculation on his part.
Oda knows One Piece is a cash cow… and that's why it's still going. Or at least part of the reason why. That should be obvious.
Half-agreed. Oda deserves his rewards for all his hard works and I don't believe he'd reject extra cash if he was offered to, but he hasn't gone as far as neglecting storyline in exchange for more chapters to sell, has he? OP is cash cow alright, but I believe the one who has the most profit and right to milk it dry isn't Oda himself, but Shueisha (CMIIW). I personally don't believe that when OP finally has revealed all its cards on the table, Oda would still keep it going just because his superiors tell him so.
Shit on Fairy Tail's mediocrity all you want, but when I see OP fans complaining about the length of a series… of all things... all I really can do is shake my head.
Agreed. At this point, I can't defend OP's length anymore against those who dislike it solely because it's a long-running-series. But surely, those who are immune to such stereotype would expect that the story actually makes proportional progress to its running length (except those that don't have plot). Not long-running because the story is running in circle, the author takes too many unnecessary breaks, too many subplots with little to no relevance to main plot, nor because it has telegraphed pace.
-
Whether Fairy Tail is too long or not isn't the issue. It's just a bland cliche manga. End of story.
-

Unless your "everything else" is limited to Fairy Tail, Naruto and Bleach, this isn't remotely true.

I both agree and disagree.
I cannot complain about the pacing. The arcs start and end up quite fast. Hell, sometimes it doesn´t even take time to build things up nicely.The biggest FT problem, and that´s what i think people refer to as pacing when talking about Fairy Tail, is that a lot happens, and nothing happens.
Think of it´s arcs. Were half of them really necessary?
Again, and thinking that the main plot of the series is about X777 and Zeref, how much about both this situations were revealed in, lets say, the last 3 arcs?
We´re 390 chapters in and we still don´t know in what direction the plot is going.
Where half of these arcs really necessary?Again Edolas, what did we learned from that?
We learned where Happy came from. Ok
We learn about who Mistogun is? …ok...
And was it really necessary to waste months in an arc for us to reveal the identity of a secondary character most of us couldn´t give a crap about and that has close to zero impact in the story?
Are we gonna spend the next 6 months reading an arc about the origins of Max? (http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Max_Alors)
Because i genuinely could not tell the difference between that and Edolas.Unless your "everything else" is limited to Fairy Tail, Naruto and Bleach, this isn't remotely true.

I haven't read Fairy Tail since ehm…the poison dragon slayer randomly turned up at Natsu's request (I think) after all the dragons came from the future/past.
Is it still going ever more downhill?

Fairy Tail will never be any good. It was never anything more than mediocore.

The next arc after Grand Magic Games isn't that bad. It's about Team Natsu actually taking up a job request and completing it instead of a bunch of oh-so-evil enemies just randomly showing up and no plot or adventure between beating them up. It's too short for you to be exasperated by any flaws it may have, but it's also too short to be really good.
The Tartaros arc which we're in currently is just… inconsistent. There are actually some decent chapters here and there, but then they're followed up by long batches of stupid chapters, a couple of decent chapters, five stupid chapters etc.

:ninja: Now, don't be mean, guys. At least, next chapter seems to be focused still on Gray vs Deliver so there shouldn't be any ass or tits until it's concluded.

Can I turn this wonderful statement of yours to a signature of mine?

Given that Gray is always half naked and sometimes also full naked, I wouldn't be so sure about it… let's say, no fanservice aimed toward male readers.
