| MAKAROV IS THE TRUE IMMORTAL BEING IN FAIRY TAIL! |
| Nooo, Mavis. :( Don't leave Fairy Tail! At least Makarov got back. :D |
| Holy shit, noone died |
    |
| Well I loved the chapter, but it was a cheesy but beautiful one. The one magic was mentioned during the chapter yet again, so that was wonderful. Zeref and Mavis died and it seems that they sacrificed themselves for Makarov, who came back, but I thought it was stupid to bring him back. I feel like Hiro is trolling people WAY~ TOO MUCH with deaths and its getting on my nerves, I bet were going to see Acnologia, Anna, and Ichiya come back before the end of Fairy Tail. It was a good chapter, but he is rushing things it seems. |

| I am absolutely amazed at you people and your ability to hate on this series for being EXACTLY WHAT THE AUTHOR WANTS IT TO BE!!! Mashima wrote Fairy Tail this way because that's what he wanted it to be, if you don't like it, that's YOUR problem. It doesn't make anything in this story less gut-wrenching, heart-warming, or amazing. I for one choose to rejoice in Makarov's restored life! Because this is the Fairy Tail I love! And you know what? Screw it - I HOPE MAVIS AND ZEREF'S MAGIC CANCELLED OUT AND MADE THEM BOTH MORTAL AGAIN!!! |

| I dont understand what killed Zeref and Mavis? Love? wtf? |

Screw it - I HOPE MAVIS AND ZEREF'S MAGIC CANCELLED OUT AND MADE THEM BOTH MORTAL AGAIN!!! "I have no standards for decent writing"-your post. As someone who has been writing fiction for nearly 9 years, I tend to have fairy high standard for decent writing, and am currently trying to discern whether or not you understand what the definition of 'decent writing' even is. What I am trying to say is that those of you harping on Mashima for not killing off his Main Characters have clearly missed the point of Mashima's writing style. What's worse, a lot of you seem to be under the illusion that this is a new development in his works, talking about how Fairy Tail 'started out' great but then 'became garbage' later on - and that is 100% BULLSHIT! Mashima has not changed the way this story is written from the day of its conception to now. For all 537 Chapters >THIS IS WHAT THE STORY HAS BEEN LIKE<, this is what the story was MEANT to be like, because that's what THE AUTHOR wanted it to be. If you are one of those people that think Fairy Tail has steadily gone down the tube over the course its run time, I have a newsflash for you: Fairy Tail NEVER changed, YOU did! So stop blaming the author just because you decided you don't like his style anymore. Fairy Tail is an amazing story with deep, relatable characters, a rich, intricate history, and a fun, compelling plot. So I will repeat: If you don't like it - that's YOUR problem; it's not Mashima's job to cater to your tastes. You don't have to like Fairy Tail, but giving the series so much grief over a - quote unquote - "problem" that has existed since its inception is an exceedingly small-minded and petty thing to do. |

Just because Mashima thinks his style of writing is ok doesn't mean it actually is. I know Mashima doesn't intend to make FT a dark series that's why he doesn't like killing characters. The problem is that because of that most attempts at being seriously emotional backfire because the readers know they will be back soon after. If he didn't pretend to kill off characters only to bring them back via Deus Ex Machinas nobody would have a problem with the series. Mashima also has a huge problem with delivering on the hype he builds up for his antagonists, Jacob became a complete and lame joke despite being supposedly a super strong opponent. God Serena gets plenty of buildup only to get one-shotted by Acnologia and is brought back in a weakened form where he gets defeated in a chapter by Gildarts, Irene and August commit suicide just for plot convenience, Acnologia himself is defeated by a ship ran by a comic relief character rather than an actual DRAGON SLAYER. Fanservice is drawn when it shouldn't happen and makes the mood worse. This isn't disliking a particular style, this is basic bad writing that most authors are told to avoid. |

Fanservice is drawn when it shouldn't happen and makes the mood worse. This isn't disliking a particular style, this is basic bad writing that most authors are told to avoid. It is absolutely a style. I won't lie, for as much as I just praised the writing, there are plenty of times I roll my eyes while reading or watching Fairy Tail because of its predictability and fanservice moments. The reason I don't harp on it is because I choose to find enjoyment in the deep narrative and characters. The fact that I can predict that a character will survive no matter the odds doesn't make me wish they had died, or make me less happy to see them live. I choose to be live in the tone of the scene rather than in the knowledge of the eventuality, and that lets me feel what the characters feel when they think they've lost someone dear to them rather then get caught up in knowing it will be inevitably reversed. And I can't imagine how anyone would have managed to put up with this series for this long if they didn't also enjoy it when they first got into it. If the teased character deaths, random fanservice moments, and over-hyped antagonists bothered you as much in the first few arcs as it does now, I don't understand why you didn't just drop this series ages ago. |

| Read around 150 chapters in a swoop. (but it's not over yet...wrong timing) >__> My eyes hurt from all this shounen. lol I still believe this is how FT should end, something along these line is fine and is bound to have errors, because this is FT from Hiro. xD Not about this chapter but valid: I really liked reading FateHero and SuperRed discussion. I can agree with points from the 2 diferrent views they have about the series. |
| Worst 4 things mashima has done to series, Making Augustus parrents zeref and mavis, then him deiciding to blow himself up out of no reason, he was kicking gildarts and his magic was able to destroy continent, he was more powerfull than zeref seems just not immortal, then defeating acnologia with idiotic plot "hope he's alive" and FAVORITE trick he done over years makarov sacrifice himself and survives whole shitt again and again , Dude sacrificed himself with most epic way he could, for his family and hiro revives him, this arc was soo promising but it was waste of time , Why zeref could not think about that timelapse thing, why irene had not enchanced her dragon magic with zeref + augustus to kill acno?? |
| Ichiya was the star of the chapter, Acnologia is most likely still alive, though. The scene between Mavis and Zeref was actually quite touching tbh, but I had to cringe at the together forever part. It sounded way too corny. Makarov is still alive ? Well, not really surprising, Mashima just dont have the balls to kill him off. In retrospect, the whole drama about him was ridiculous. |

| Makarov LIVES AGAIN AYYY!!!! Makarov vs Goku. Who wins? |
| wow makorou is alive and healthy man...what a twist |
 |
| dead? no.. this is fairy tail! |
 |
| what a moving chapter. zeref and mavis's ending was really sweet and i'm glad that they got to go together. i definitely have mixed feelings about makarov though. it's great that he's back, but it just feels weird and defeats the impact set earlier. but as some people have pointed out, even though it feels cheap, lives were still in a sense exchanged for his so it's not the worst thing that i've seen happen at least. |
 |
| that was romantic I think ( the way they vanished). The highlight was the resurrection of the master, which was predictable. |
