User blog:TheCarrotSaysYumYum/FT0 5 - A Moonlit Lake, Review.

Bad timing for a Zero release just after a normal FT chapter, but who am I to complain? With normal FT being so dry for me no thanks to the Natsu and Gray focus at the moment, I would never turn down a chapter of FT0 ;)

So our group of dorks are walking to Magnolia... because... because... well I assume the idiots are broke XD For some reason, this whole situation is just reminding me of what CrimeS is like. I really believe they would have similar interactions as they move from dark guild to dark guild and stay on the run. The group find food and wood (Omg... seriously though... Precht's face with that deer is awesome XD) and camp about just having fun. Yury's silly stories (that seem very Indiana Jone's-ish) sound hilarious, but more than that I'm surprised Warrod and Precht decide to give Mavis the Tenrou Jade if they find it. All three men seem to have taken a liking to her, but Yury's need for the Jade - and in turn, money - hopefully stem from something much deeper. I'd like to know as much about him and his past as we can, and hopefully this 'money > Mavis' thing is part of that :)

We cut though, and Mavis goes to find Zeira, and Zeira goes on for a bit about how Mavis saved her and she wants to protect Mavis in return. This would hint towards the "Zeira is alive" theory, but Yury's previous sighing after Mavis when she went to find Zeira seems to put favour to the other side too. Guess the mystery will continue for some time. Still, Zeira wants to learn Magic, but before any confirmation is made the two just end up stripping off and swimming together, enjoying their time off of the island I guess. Some will call it fanservice, and I guess it is, but I saw nothing sexual in it, so whatever. Call it what you will, I thought it was kinda sweet~

Kay... seems we're skipping the three day walk. AND OMG PRECHT TRIES TO SOUND SMART TALKING BIG HISTORY SHIT ABOUT CARDIA CATHEDRAL AND FREAKIN' YURY JUST INTERRUPTS HIM XD Priceless~

But... holy shit... The entirety of Magnolia from the looks of it it totally overrun by the Blue Skull Guild and they have some huge ass Dragon skull just perched on the cathedral! O__o Whaaaaat!? Guess the guild is strong enough to have ransacked the town for themselves, so now I'm intrigued to see how our silly heroes will fight them... as well as where that skull came from :< It's very ominous.

Still, hopefully we can find out if Yury has Magic soon \( ^__^)/ Plus, seeing more of Prect's chains would be cool, so I'm really looking forward to next month's chapter :)

Welp, that's that people. I for one feel that Zero continues to impress. It just has such an old FT vibe to it with the light-hearted journey feel and the overall adventure/mystery. I'm wondering if the Mavis/Zeira scenes had some more importance than we would first think... like, is Zeira wanting to learn Magic going to be important in some way? I'm interested to know.

Though the bathing scenes were a bit meh, once more the trio of idiots and the last page has raised my overall liking of this chapter to a 7/10. Looking for some action next month, and I don't think I'll be disappointed tbh ;D

What did you guys all think? Lemme know \( ^__^)/

Carrot out~
