I don't think that's true at all. Rave was well paced and it all built. The difference is that FT was sposed to just be a fun adventure, he added all the angst and depth later because it got popular and kept going, and it shows. Just like he took the first exit ramp he realistically got offered. The next one should reflect that. Though it was still good.

Not really.


He got rushed by his editors. He's clearly trying to fix the issues he had with the manga because of them by directing the anime

Mashima actually wanted to finish the manga 2 years sooner because he wanted to draw something different

Viewing the latest Mashima Tweets it is possible that apart from the new History that the Plan if there is more than FT since it has expressed several times its desire to expand the Universe of FT

I hope he expands on it even if the characters have nothing to do with the Fairy Tail members.

Both Rave Master and Fairy Tail are fantasy works. Have you ever considered doing something outside of the fantasy genre?

I personally just really love fantasy works in general, so if I do a new series, I would like to try to make it fantasy again. Rave Master was about friends saving the whole world, but Fairy Tail is about closer-knit relationships. So if I do another fantasy story, I would like to try a different approach.

See, the man kinda has a niche, an it’s partly because that’s just where his personal interests are.

On that basis I kinda feel like it was an odd decision to try and scale FT up to world-in-the-balance levels of jeopardy, especially with a character that had hype but actually little plot-relevant build up. Acnologia wasn’t the secret mastermind pulling the strings behind many earlier goings on, he did kill Natsu’s ‘father’ but that was ancient history and Natsu had moved on to his new life with the guild and all. Acnologia ultimately was just sat there in the background as an ominous speck on the horizon most of the series. While desire to reach Zeref was the driving force behind the 3 Balam alliance guild story arcs, Zeref was ultimately a side show bad guy with a kind of 2 dimensional ‘take over the world’ aim.

Going with Natsu as END and the struggle with wanting to save him, but having to accept he poses a threat to the safety of the world would have been much more in keeping with FTs friendships theme.

The problem is that too much to stay in Fiore, which is logical in a sense since the quest happens in the country.

But I wish there was at least 2-3 quests happening in another country and that according to what she speaks it leads the plot to something else.

For example, the first chapter where lucy almost ended up being a slave and leaving for Bosco.

In the end we never went to bosco, it's a shame, there may have been a quest on that, girls were kidnapped, we learn what became slaves in bosco.

As a result, the Natsu team goes to Bosco, Lucy and Erza are captured and play slaves, they destroy the slave trade, free the girls and return.

But when searching through the files, erza see that one of the clients was once the zeref sect guys from the paradise tower and like that his launches the plot around erza's past.

Or as in movie 2 they are on a mission to another country sent by the king.

His could have started the plot around END and his dangerousness.

For the world's danger, ANK must have been the ultimate enemy who decides to destroy the world, or acno who is tired of waiting and decides to destroy neighboring countries and that the information is transmitted in Fiore.

Or else it could have been END the ultimate enemy because natsu has succumbed to darkness and is "" "dead" "and it is END who has control.

He goes into the ruins of tartaros and awakens another demon and builds up a small army with them + those of the zeref sect.

It was a possibility

No new details, but in his "Thanks for 2017" Twitter post he reaffirmed that he will do his best/work hard to launch a new serialization in 2018.

Hope his new series will be a better one than the last part of FT

What I want to see


-Plot

The plo should be much darker than FT and Rave with mature themes.Something like TPN or Hunter x Hunter.


-Characterisation

Characters should be given more depth.I will not deny FT had lot of interesting characters.Something like that is good.In addition if it is possible he can add where we cannot call any character totally "Good" or "Bad". The MC should not be stupid.He or she should have character development.He or she should be morally ambiguous. MC's should be intelligent.

Tension in the plot

This is a very important part.The last arc of FT had little to no tension from chapter 470's at least.There should ways be concern among the readers that our protagonists have to fight till the full and there are risks.

POF

POF should be cut to almost zero.Even if there is little pof, it should gove our protagonists motivation not actual power ups.FT was good in this till Tenrou when heroes got motivations but later they got actual powerup.

Villains

Villains should be ruthless and not wanting simple destruction.Villains like Ultear will be very good.Not totally bad but has some good qualities also.They shouldn't be one shotted.

Foreshadowing

Foreshadowing like END plot is good.But things like Irene being Erza's mother and creator of DS Magic should be avoided which appeared suddenly.

Strong Women Characters

Hiro is good in this.Nothing to say.

Fan service
It should also be cut to the minimum. Characters shouldn't be victims of Fan services.

These are all my dreams from the new series of Hiro.It is is a wishful dream but I hope he does all this.

And he said he wanted to do something different, he very clearly was not enjoying it and he'll go back the other direction.

That was when he tried to start FT so he decided to do a lively story.

But he did one,so he may go back to darker ones.

His darker stories are much better. Rave Master is much better than FT.Even in FT arcs like Toh or Tartaros are much more popular than other one's.

I have to say, for all Fairy Tail’s flaws I’m on board for whatever he has brewing in the background. I don’t feel light entertainment series like this necessarily need the sort of depth, well crafted character arcs etc that other types of media need - just likeable characters, cameraderie, a fun/ imaginative world to explore and reasonably challenging adversity (where FT kinda fell down on many occasions, but 3/4 isn’t so bad :D) if the new series has anything like the ‘feel’ of FT at the beginning, the first part at the very least should be a good read/ watch
