I prefer if Mashima starts something else. Smaller stuff like FT Zero without as tight a schedule can mean better efficiency for a hardworking mangaka like him. But that's just my selfishness speaking. Besides, still have the FT manga being done by other authors.

Oh sure he has another motive. Just don't see why in high heaven that would need its own arc. He was supposed to take the spotlight at the end of the Tartarus Arc but he first got whooped and then lost an arm while delivering the final blow. That kinda lowered his spotlight, and then we saw him in human form and he has his wits about him, meaning that he came to Tenrou with rather clear objective rather than bestial instinct. Spending 50-100 chapters on just Acnologia while ignoring Zeref seems pointless. But that's just me. Camps that want a manga to continue forever are always around. Recently the Dragon Ball camp revived and completely shattered my faith. But I digress.... >_>

If you are curious about my reasoning, it is because surprisingly because I'm a diehard fan. I love a series and acknowledge mistakes, but I can't stand it when the mistakes pile up without a solution to the point where I am bombarded with jabs regarding the series. I value consistency. Unfortunately, consistency is often lost in a series that runs for too long. There are exceptions however, and it is those exceptions that keep the industry great.
