Good:-
 * Gray working undercover. Gajeel and Gray would be my first candidates for such jobs. I actually wanted Gray to be a part of CrimeS after the time-skip because of the many things that they have in common ... This could be close enough.
 * Mention of Porlyusica.
 * Smartphones! \( ^_^)/
 * Torture! \( ^_^)/
 * Gray and Erza appearing like complete douches for Juvia's sake. That's good. When Natsu isn't around, Gray and Erza are actually quite smart.
 * Gray apologizing and Lucy understanding and Natsu not creating a fuss.

Neutral:-
 * Gajeel, Lily and Levy will need to hurry up if they want a piece of the action. ( ._.)

Bad:-
 * As FTGM stated below ... organizations dumb much? Doranbolt, Gajeel, Silver, Gray ... Recently, it's been as if only good guys are smart. >.>
 * I was so happy that Mashima had offset Gray's cheap power-up by having him turn dark due to it ... And now we get told it was all an act. Of course, we also get told that the power-up was not so cheap because he couldn't control IDSM well at that time ... Yeah, right. So if the way he used it against Mard was noobish, him be damn OP if him an expert now. >.>
 * Mary is almost certainly fodder-level. This annoys me the most! >.<
 * Stupid Star Dress is stupid. Doesn't matter if it's strong, it's still a stupid design. *gives up* Don't care anymore.
 * Juvia's treatment. I like the fact that Gray and Erza care enough for the woman to leave her out of the plan so as to let no harm befall her. But ... why? They consider her weaker? Dumber? What? It's obvious that she was kept away we could have a battle with the main protagonists only. And, adding the fact that Juvia has been depressed for six months ... has made me lose all hopes for her. She appears to lack self-respect and continued to be trolled by Mashima despite having a great potential. I give up, I just don't care anymore for her. ( ._.)
 * I don't support or (normally) bash ships. I don't care enough, tbh. Though I predict that, unless any partners die, Nalu, Gruvia, Jerza, Gale, Elfever, etc. will happen. I don't hope, just predict. Nalu and Gruvia never made much sense to me (again, not because I support some other ship involving one of the partners). But, eh, they're gonna happen. But ... Gruvia makes almost no sense now. It happens and I'll definitely hate that development unless Mashima plays it really well.
 * Erza, obviously. :P

Overall, not happy with these recent developments. Happy that the stupid Naruto comparisons will stop, sad that the all-so-bright-and-cheerful 'We gonna get FT together!' is gonna happen with apparently no opposition. It's as if we're having mini-arcs about gathering former members. I hate the revival idea, tbh. .-.
