^ I hate to admit it, but there's quite some truth to that statement :/. However, I wouldn't it put it so bluntly. There are times when Mashima delivers, and gives quality chapters. Especially what you said here: "...problem is he puts more effort into quantity than he does quality", because I'm sure that is not his goal. Any dedicated writer (and I'm sure Mashima is) wants to provide good stories for his readers. It just happens to come off that way. Regardless of his writing, if I 'graded' on the person, Mashima earns my respect for his consistency and art, over... lets say, someone who is an amazing writer, BUT takes consistent breaks, which led to the finishing/ cancellation of the anime (I think a lot of you know who I'm talking about lol).
