Goddamit Mashima.
I can look past Fair Tail's errors and weak points. But this manga is something diffrent. This is a hot mess.
Heads up, this will be quite spoilery.
So at the time of writing this, FT:100yq is quite bad. DragonBall Super Anime bad.
You could already tell by the end of fairy tail that mashima was losing interest in the story and just wanted to move on and make something new. Incomes Kondansha and forces him to drag the story on and on and now here is this sequel manga that he doesn't even draw himself.
...
Plot:
Basically, natsu and friends are doing quest that nobody completed in over a 100 years, thus the name. And what do they have to do? Seal the dragon gods... god dragons... whatever, big strong lizard people.
Do they at any point question why the quest was created, why someone wants all the dragon god peoples sealed - not really. i mean they don't seal the first dragon, just beat the shit out of him until he becomes good.
The second dragon, they fucking kill. Because i guess he was evil, but it was never explained why he was, he just was.
Currently the story is headed for the third dragon and it's a mess.
So the way it looks like the story will just be Team Natsu going from place to place and beating up evil dragons until eventually all of them are sealed or become good guys. I bet once they some big evil dude will show up and be like "finally now i can do my evil thing" and they have to fight him too. That's how cheap and predictable the writing is. Mashima does not give a F.
The Fan Service problem:
The amount of bad fan service has become ridicoulus. I honestly feel bad for lucy, being forcefully and unconsentually stripped every over chapter whilest clearly being emberassed as heck. I wonder, since mashima doesn't draw the manga, does he even plan the fanservice or is the artist going of the rail?
Generally, if a chapter is focused on a girl of the group, there is a fat chance there will be either stupid strip humor and/or weird camera angles.
The story is actively being interrupted just so little boys reading the manga can wonder why their pants suddenly got tighter.
Characters:
And what about fan service in the form of writing? EH.
Levi got the preggers, big deal, exept it ain't. Levi and Gajeel are a thing now, even tho it is at best a minor sublot. Grey is finally trying to figure out what he wants to be with juvia, but only about a 50 chapters in or so and so far has done jack all but talk think about it.
And then there is the NaLu situation. There is just nothing going on at all.
Even when they go to edolas and meet their counter parts (which are older than them because timeskip, magic bla bla.) and see that they already are married and have kids. And they don't fucking talk. Or interact. OR DO ANYTHING TO DEVELOP THEIR RELATIONSHIP.
Natsu's aditude is non existent. He does not care at all. And lucy is just flustered and shuts in. WHY AREN'T THEY TAKING A MOMENT AND TALK ABOUT STUFF FOR JUST ONE FREAKING CHAPTER, IT MIGHT ASWELL BE OFF SCREEN AND ONLY ALUDED TO, BUT GIVE US SOMETHING DAMMIT.
Enjoyment:
Fairy Tail's biggest strength was it's characters, but in this sequel they are just painfully dull. It feels like a fanfic writen by a hardcore dragonball fan that things super is the best anime of all time. It's just battle and lack luster comedy stringed together.
And the worst thing is, it didn't have to be this bad. Mashima's Eden Zero is a huge improvment, where he drops bad writing habits and does way less fanservice. It just shows how little the man cares anymore about fairy tail.
It like the nightmare scene from toystory 2 where andy throws Woody into the bin and says "I don't wanna play with you anymore".
Recommended Alternatives:
-Read Edens Zero.
-Pretend natsu kissed lucy in the last chapter of fairy tail and that this manga doesn't exist.
-Read the fanfic by KatieTheTerrible on wattpad. Despite being a wattpad fanfic, it reads like a proper light novel and somehow has better writing than all of fairy tail. (it's writen by a upcoming novelist, while most over fanfic are writen by angsty and/or horny teens).
Would i recomment Fairy Tail: 100 year quest?
Nope, i hate it.
Will i continue reading it anyways?
Yes. If i can watch rwby, i can read this shit.
Gonna update this review when the manga is done.

Fairy Tail

I'm 100% aware of it's MANY MANY flaws but i still love it.
So yeah, this manga has odd amounts of unnecessary fan service, cheap writing and at some point you can just feel that mashima lost his passion for the story. But i still can't help, but loving it. Fairy Tail isn't a story about natsu wanting to find his dad, it's a story about a group of misfits and weirdos that have bonds like family. If anything, i would say the guild is the main character. However there is one glaring issue. Natsu is too inspired by goku. Mashima openly admits to be hard dragonball fan, but ...

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

Not gonna lie, this is a hot mess.
A huge chunk of the anime is slice of life filler. It's like the filler hell from the og naruto anime exept this time it's the first half of the show. However once they start adapting the manga, it unironically becomes better than the manga, which admitedly won't mean much to people that hate boruto in general. For one sarada and the other characters that aren't boruto get more time to shine, also speaking of sarada, her anime design is just much more tasteful. All in all, i think we can agree that a story should never start as ... |
