You have to go see on the topic of cover of EZ, that I posted yesterday, he explains how he plans the chapters for the end and I find it really shameful what he says.
Yes, but he is writing about the endings not the whole story of something. It should be understanded as one day he was told that "we need you to finish in 3 volumes" and he needed to start counting chapters since. Of course, I don't know how exactly that works and when he "started counting", but the fact that he still had to cut 3 chapters suggests that there was more he wished to add.
I guess that sincd FT was always more popular he was given more chapters so only number of pages per volume stopped him.

Yes I see what you mean, but in the case of EZ where EVERYTHING was rushed from beginning to end I find it quite funny and ironic that he says he had to count for the end and that just 3 more chapters were necessary for him.

Whether it's the decision of the editor or the bosses of the magazine it doesn't change anything, Mashima is not a random mangaka he's a bit of a star of the magazine, I think he could have negotiated a little more and reached the 35th volume to do like rave, see 36 to do as he had said more than rave less than FT.

Ez apart from in the case of FT who had no popularity problem, the fact that he says that he counted for the final chapters is also quite funny (with a yellow laugh), while in fact no, the fight against Acno is much too short, it would have taken 3 more chapters here to properly "finish" FT.

And there in 100 quest if there are about a hundred chapters left before the end, I simply want it to be done correctly, I can't rush the fights and the narration.

Well, Hiro did say that he had to cut Acno's backstory due to time and that's why we saw it in the anime and the movie (so if you only read manga you don't know the whole "Doctor" thing and the reason Acno sworn to kill all dragons). So it's weird to say he has included everything he has wanted when we know he hasn't.
Unless Hiro doesn't care about Acno, which I can see judging how the whole manga he was trying NOT to write Acno.

I know the story of Acno Doctor and it was bad for several reasons:

-Already it doesn't explain HOW he became a DS when that was the question asked, we don't know if it's DS 1st generation or a dragon eater or something else.

-Personally I'm not one of those who claimed that Acno has a past explained in detail, just saying that his village was destroyed and that his family / friends are all dead was enough for me.

At worst do a FT zero 2 on Acno, personally as a past I would have just added that at the beginning he hated all dragons, he ''' joined ''' the DS army and that like the other DS over time he went crazy and killed everyone, good / bad dragon, DS, human, that's simple and effective.

-Explanation about his name is zero, that we also don't know why the real Acno came back to the village to kill them all.

-And in the anime we lost time on the fight, thank god there are the famous 2 minutes of added fight but I would have preferred more fight and not the past of Acno who cuts the fight for nothing.

I'm not sure what are you talking about. Anime extended DS vs Acno, not shortened it.

Yes that's what I'm saying, in the anime the fight was extended with the 2 extra minutes.

BUT we lost time on the fight, by cutting it with acno's FB AND SO I would have preferred no FB from acno and even more time for the fight.

Mashima also says the sequel was a “corporate” idea, not his.

Ignia was just being cocky and the dragon gods not being at full power never made any difference about who is absolutely the strongest, HIMnologia for a reason. Though Full Power Merc jobbing to Giant Lucy was already a red flag of dragon gods not surpassing Acno.

I remember Hiro mentioning this a while ago about wanting to explore the God who cursed Zeref, right?

Yes, he said that a long time ago but he's not sure yet, it seems that page just wants interaction. :yodawg

I also didn't see a source behind the news, but seeing that Hiro had already mentioned it a while ago, I decided to post it here.

Yeah Acno would never job to Giant Lucy, he’d job to giant Lucy with a boat.

I hope he explores the gods though. That's the only thing he didn't touch given there's God Slaying Magic and Chronos. There's a lot of material he can use as a reference. Plus Anksheram was kinda the original villain before Zeref. Then there's "One Magic".

was he though? All he did was punish Zeref for trying to bring back dead. It is similar to Truth from Fullmetal Alchemist punishing Elric Brothers.
