Word. But then again Nick, it isn't that cliche if you pace it right. The problem is the pacing of certain stories. It's like "Oh I met him/her a few days ago but now he/she has melted my evil heart so I will start becoming a nice person so that he/she will fall for me. And the next day he/she finds the cure for cancer...." No, I need waaaaaaaaay more development time. Even Gajeel turned rather quickly for someone that bashed a guy for talking to him while eating as you have pointed out before.

Actually, it reminds me of Guilty Crown. Daryl was slowly getting to the "good guy" realm but in the end just decided "Ah, fuck it." and the series just ended with him being ambiguous. A criticism in a way, but hey, breaks the cliche a bit right?
