User blog comment:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 407: All for My Demise, Review and Commentary/@comment-4449950-20141103024620

Meant to be studying, but stuff that... review time because I like to procrastinate.

Stuff it... lazy... dot points...


 * Lumen: I loved this part of the chapter, especially Makarov demanding that Doranbolt follow them to erase everyone's memories. Like, wow... that was pretty intense right there and I like the implications it has on what Lumen does. Elfman staying behind was also interesting, as I don't think it would be done without reason. So now I'm wondering what Elfman is going to do in the near future.
 * Dragons: Eh, I'm kinda not feeling these short inserts. Dunno, they just seem to be dragging out the battle a little and all of the threats so are going nowhere and then the next chapter has another 2-3 pages of pointless threats/talking. I'd rather something else be put there to fill the pages and have the Dragon fight all together.
 * Demons/END: Well damn Mard, ya had to go and monologue didn't you?? I don't like the implications that Natsu is END that were screamed in this chapter. I was always very anti-EvilNatsuDragneel and if it does turn out to be that I think I'll be irked because we guessed it sooooo long ago and I was hoping for something new. Ah wells.
 * Zeref dying: I'm wondering where Zeref sits in all of this. Like, is he cool with Tartarus trying to release END, or will he go into mega-mode when/if END appears and take him out? What scares me even more is that END is meant to kill Zeref, so does that make END necessarily bad? I'm wondering if Mard will be taken out and then a very important discussion occurs where everyone wonders if they should just open the book to get rid of Zeref, but then they do and Mard was lying/not telling the full truth and shit goes down and Igneel is fucked over because no one listened to him about leaving the book alone .-.
 * Gray vs Mard: Eh .-. I don't like it tbh, mainly because Gray has fought a lot this arc and I was expecting more Gray vs END :/ I REALLY hope Gray doesn't get both fights >__> Plus, his attitude is annoying me. I mean, his over the top tsundere personality already irked me, and I know this is my own opinion, but this even colder, "look I'm so badass... I'll act like I have no feelings and can solo Tartarus" Gray is even worse. PLUS! Godamnit that "if it's important to you don't let it go" line. Gray, you are the LAST person who gets to say a line like that, especially if he later in the series tries to get with Juvia after pushing her away >__> Seriously, that irked me a lot for some reason .-. I know I'm not much of a Gray fan, but I'm just kinda meh about this whole fight. I was preferring the DSs tbh and that's saying something - poor Sting and Rogue especially getting tossed aside again :/ Plus I feel Gray is so OP now... he NEEDS to lose this power up after this fight. Seriously... he's going to end up like Natsu and Erza at this rate if this keeps up and one of the few things I like about Gray is that his fights are usually better done than most. Ah well, guess I'll wait and see.

So, good start, okay middle, meh ending. Don't really care for Gray and the Mard curve-stomp I see coming :/

But lol, I saw the funniest thing on tumble the other day regarding the chapter. It's this thing on tumblr that the 3 things people are irked about most this arc are Jellal + CS missing, the Thunder God Tribe + Laxus missing and Natsu's scarf missing for so long, so now everyone's all "damn it, we got the inanimate object back before Laxus/Jellal etc!". Best comment though was "Christ, at this rate Ultear's gonna reappear before Jellal" XD XD Omg... hilarious!

Still, I hope now that Elfman is staying behind and Levy and Gajeel are on the move that we'll see the Thunder God Tribe soon :< I hope so~
