I'm actually looking forward to watching Acnologia obliterate Tenrou Island and pawn FT. They've had a few too many victories under their belt, so it's about time they have a solid defeat handed to them.
Gildarts is still awesome though. XD |

Giant beast, wings, horns, tail... looks like a dragon to me. Yeah sure, it lacks the leathery wings so common in western dragons, but there's plenty of dragons with feathery wings out there. Asian mythology is filled with them (when they even had wings, that is).

Probably less than you'd think. Back in Rave Master, he apparently promised to do a shower scene with Elie, then put off doing it for quite a while. To the point that fanmail began nagging him about it. This was apparently partially out of reluctance, and partially out of lack of a good place to put it. After a few volumes he finally went ahead and placed one as one of the end of volume bonus pages.
Only instead of simply including it, he had the last question of the Q&A be about it, gave a longish response that ending in something along the lines of "ok, here you go" that required the reader to turn the page. The next page being a shower scene of the two most ugly and annoying male character's on the hero's side, with a caption along the lines of "oops, let's check back after the fan art section". Then a couple pages later after the fan art section was the Elie Shower scene. He's gotten more comfortable with such fanservice over the course of Fairy Tail's run, but personally I suspect that those chapters at the start of the year where the cover page one week was topless Lucy posing on her bed, and the next week was a topless Ichiya in the same pose on his bed; was a gentle reminder that if he's bugged too much to include more fan service, he may just make it service of characters we really don't want to see service of. |

Well there's only so much time they can spend together really. If Gildarts get sent out on an S-class mission, let alone SS, Cana probably wouldn't be able to come with him. Then again, it is Gildarts we're talking about...

While on the subject, I think this next battle is approaching a bit too fast. We just settled a big battle arc, a bit of juxtaposition would be appreciated here. |

Put another way, this arc ain't over yet. Mashima put alot of resources into hinting at a big loss for FT; It just turns out it'll be due to the black dragon rather than GH winning, or the Council nuking the island, or Zeref waking up. They dodged every bullet except the last one. (Well, okay, they could still dodge this too... and then I'll be pissed.) |
