I have to say my displeasure with Mashima is growing with each chapter. While I overall like the way the story is going (even if I'm getting a little tired of Natsu getting all the screentime), the amount of distasteful fanservice is really wearing me out. I complained about it before, but really I'm growing weary of how little respect Mashima seems to have for his characters. Erza is one of the strongest and most well-written female characters in the series, and I really cringe seeing Mashima turning her torture into some fetishized sexual extravaganzza. Really Mashima, fucking tentacles? I'm hoping they turn down the volume several notches for the anime, because really, at this rate I don't know if the actual enjoyment I'm getting from the story makes up for how irritated I'm growing with the tacky and disgusting fanservice in crescendo
