I liked it myself. Though perhaps rushed (50/50 on that angle), I liked how Lucy and Jubia's friendship developed, how Jubia's powers were used (big fan of "hydrokinetics") and the way Lucy used Jubia as a medium for her spirit. Though "Magic Fusion" was cliche as hell and I can easily see it never being used again (and therefore wasting which could evolve into a good idea).
Fairy Tail

-
let's hope that natsu & shimon (simon) vs. Fukurou is better
-
Chapter 88 is out. HOLY SHIT!!!!
! Fukurou ate Natsu!!! And he blasted Happy with Natsu's own fire!:blink:
-
Natsu aside, I'm glad that this arc is showing us that Sieg doesn't seem to be made of complete evil. He's genuinely afraid and concerned about the eminent resurrection of the Dark Mage Zeref and is acting as he sees accordingly. And he also seems to be willing to accept responsibility for the consequences.
Not convinced he's on the side of good yet, but it's nice to see another dimension to him.
-
I just got the first volume Monday. It's O.K. I guess. I'm trying to decide if I want to continue.
-
Just got done reading 88 and I have to say the high point of this chapter was fukurou's ability to digest his opponents power but I see this ending the same way goku vs. Yakon did.

Anime News Network review of Volume 1.
Pretty scathing but then again, this is Anime News Network.:getlost:
By the way, Hiro Mashima will be attending San Diego's Comic Con. So those of you who want to meet him or bitch to him about how the manga is going, you will have your chance.

T_T Sometime it sucks to be in Texas with no money.

I can possibly go but 1. I have no car and 2. I have no car.
DAMN! all I want to ask him is how long does he think fairy tail will last. -

The thing I don't get about ANN's review is that in Right Turn Only!! the reviewer praised both volumes of FT (in two different segments) but this reviewer just breaks it apart as a generic shonen title and downright calls it a rip-off of One Piece.
-
Well, you can't deny the OP allusions . . . .
But remember that the person who does Right Turn Only doesn't do the in-depth reviews. Those are done by several different people.
-
Alright. I read both 87 and 88 one after another this morning since I was behind because of Reborn. So reviews on both.
87: Mixed feelings. I just love Vithaldas' character. And it's probably the fault of the translators but the dialouge was awesome. And more Aquarius FTW
Then the fail….. Magical Fusion? It could be cool if it were not with Lucy and Jubia. The story Gerald seemingly pulled out his ass suggest that this nigh impossible to do magic required something....more. I mean do Lucy and Jubia even know each other that well? Lucy just heard the water's sob story got compassionate and they bonded well enough to do that in what, 30 seconds? C'mon. The fight was just fanservicey and gay.
88: The Owl saves the day again. For one, someone's head didn't explode after being hit by Natsu. (finally, a fight without a 1hitter quitter) And he ate him and got his powers? Awesome, for a Kirby wannabe. He even blasted Happy of all people. Still, I feel like I want something more from this fight. More actual combat, because knowing this series whenever Natsu gets out of this he'll blast Furokou and that'll be the end. Pessmistic.
-
"rip off of one piece,"? I'm a fan of both (obviously). The only similarity's I see are Natsu and Luffy's gluttony, which you could say they both ripped off from Goku. They gather nakama as the story progresses, I don't read that many series but I don't think that's something new. The ongoing theme of nakama, I guess that is the same but I wouldn't say any manga that has a theme of nakama is a rip off of one pice. A similar art style, but are you gonna tell mashima to draw different? Besides he used the same style in rave which came out the same time as one piece. If I'm being one sided then whatever, you can always use more One Piece.
-
WHHOAAAA Natsu got eating, cool, how many say he's gonna roast that Owl from the inside out???
-
Why did no one mention that council mage member yet?
Did no one find that guy awesome? The face he made in the end was epic!!!^^

I read on wikipedia that Hiro Mashima was an assistant for Eiichiro Oda for 2 years.
-
Then maybe I'm wrong about rave and one piece coming out at the same time, though I'm pretty sure wikipedia is wrong, I can't prove it though so I'll say that I was wrong. The only point that really denotes is the art style point. still is he going to draw different because his style is similar to oda's?
EDIT: Rave started a year ofter One Piece, so either 1) he was an assistant of oda for a year while oda wsan't making anything, 2) he worked for oda while working on rave or 3) wikipedia is wrong

I agree that was awesome
I was surprised that Fukuro ate Natsu -

I was just saying what wikipedia told me. I believe 50% of what wikipedia says
-
I know, I wasn't yelling at you, had I not read something contradicting it on wikipedia I would've believed it too.
-
Wait, was Mashima playing Kirby when he thought of Fukurou? I think his missle powers are pretty neat, but him swallowing Natsu was just messed up.
-
Im' so confused… is gerard = sieg????? what or what what wat?
-
Nothing's really been said either way. Considering that Seiglein said earlier that he, along with the other council members, could create projections of himself, along with the fact that he seems to know what's going on in the council meetings and the fact that he looked exactly like Seiglein when he was a kid, it's an extremely strong possibility that Seiglein and Geral are the same person. If they are, though, then why would he want to destroy his own base?
Also, Fukurou keeps getting more and more awesome as time goes on. With the Falcon Punch, the Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket, and the Kirby-like ability to eat people and gain their powers, he's an extremely versatile opponent.
-
Somehow I have a feeling him eatin Natsu was one of the biggest mistake he's ever made. Sure he gain the power, but let see if he can handle it.
-
it's going to end like goku vs. yakon
-
I read on wikipedia that Hiro Mashima was an assistant for Eiichiro Oda for 2 years.
It was mentioned recently by his publisher that he has never been an assistant to anyone before he started Rave Master.
-
oh,damn you wikipedia
-
It was stated in rave master that he went straight into doing comics without doing any assistant jobs. It's been said by Del Rey, but their art styles probably look similar because they were both inspired by Akira Toriyama. And in turn Mashima saw Oda's style and try to emulate both artists. Mashima has his own sense of unique humor though.
-
tenis shoes, that was awesome.
-
The Owl Guy is pretty tough.
-

He looks way too similar to Jeral/Gerard.
=/
Twin brother? Or something even more sinister?
Maybe Jefal (that dark power thingy) split the original in two, taking away the good in him.
And, how does he know about just what Jeral is planning?
How do we know Sieg is not either Jeral, or working for Jeral, trying to use that powerful spell to provide the resurection with power?
Tis all fishy to me.
Even though he seems to be genuine.
I feel like I've missed something.Also, Natsu should've eaten the fire from Fukarou's jets.
He'll roast the birdie now >:]EDIT:
Mashima is several years older then Oda. I doubt he was his apprentice. -
Rose: I think he was talking about the old man council member, not Sieg.

:getlost:
Sixteen Dangs. -
You mean the only council member who still voted no to the using of the Etherion?
-
Yep, Mashima-sensei can sure draw epic old guy faces XD
-
Nnnnnnghargh! Yet another oneshot defeat! And it was Vithaldas, for crying out loud! ;____; I expected so much more from him. Screw you, Mashima, for not giving me a moshing attack.
On the other hand I'm growing more fond of Fukuro. At first I snorted at his stupid "justice talk", but I seriously didn't expect him to eat Natsu.
Let's see how that samurai bitch will handle her fight.

:happy: -
pours washing fluids into your filthy mouth
:happy:What for? Because I complained about Vithaldas' defeat or calling Ikaruga a bitch?
-
natsu getting eaten was unexpected O_O
-
I want to see Ikaruga fight.
-
I missed something. Who is ikaruga? the samurai girl?
-
I believe ikaruga is the samurai girl.
-
she's probably gonna fight Erza or Gray
-
@Salamander:
she's probably gonna fight Erza or Gray
Squee! Natsu!
glomp
:happy: -
more than likeally it's going to be erza but it could be gray hell it could also shou but I believe that shou will confront gerard before erza does and get his ass kicked in a good half second.
-
yeah it makes sense that it'd be erza since they'd both be using swords. but since she's the leader of the assassins I think it'd be a double team of Gray and Erza
-
Don't they need to free Erza from the card first?
And wouldn't Erza be the one facing Jeral(sp?), making Shou and Gray the ones double teaming Ikaruga?
-
oh haha i forgot about erza being trapped in the card lol
-
erza was trapped in a card? I don't recal that either.
