Oh, thinking of "the Sieg" to quote a rather funny comparison between Rave and Fairy Tail.

I always disliked how Sieghart didn't seem to mind all that much that he almost tortured an innocent girl to death. I think while Jellal's guilt complex is a bit overdrawn, it's still more realistic than the whole "Oh hey, sorry for almost torturing you to death! Are we good again?" thing going on with Sieghart.

Don't get me wrong, I still love RAVE and in part I even agree with your arguments, but somehow those comments made it sound a bit too perfect.

Fairy Tail and RAVE both have their strength and weaknesses. If Mashima could combine the strength of both into his next work and learn from the mistakes he has made (particularly in Fairy Tail, but with more than twice the length of RAVE and counting, that's not surprising), it's be a spectecular piece or work.
