@FairyTailFan Aye. Such a shame. Alvarez Empire was hyped up for being a colossal military continental superpower with a powerful military of 730 united Legal and Dark Guilds whose members could make strong Ishgar Mages run for their money and its 12 elite Mages capable of destroying countries single-handedly.

... Only to end up being made complete cannon fodder to the Boring Invincibility, Nakama Pawa, Deus ex Mashima and Plot Armor of Fairy Tail alone.

It was not even an actual war between continents anymore. Just one fucking Guild against an entire Empire.

All for the sake of Mashima wanted to give this already failing series a "Perfect Happy Ending". Ughhh....

At least Rave Master have better fights and the powerful characters there actually lived up to their hype. Even Haru and Rave Warriors had trouble along way and learned from it.

Fairy Tail... is bland and boring.
