My problem with the ending is that we barely saw anything of it.

We learned that the DS fought the Dragons, but from the Dragon Slayers other than Natsu we saw just two or three hits... not two or three hits each, but in total from all six of them together.

Then there's the matter of the journal. How could the writer even know the information and how did it coincidentally happen to be exactly in the spot where Lucy could find it. Personally I "blame" it on Mavis, but those are two questions that were never answered.

But if you look at it, it doesn't matter anyway, since the is just smashed by accident, without Lucy getting the chance to tell Natsu or Uncle A. to destroy it, so what was the point of the journal in the first place?

The GMG has some really great moments, but as a complete arc it does fall a bit short compared to my favourite ones. Not enough to make me hate or even dislike it, but also not enough to make me love it.
