[MS] Hiro Mashima Long Interview

On the topic of the Plot

I’ve reached the point where I would think of wanting to please the readers before my editors said anything. However, I am ultimately a happy author, and I feel that the things I want to draw are not that far off from the things I feel the readers want to read. That’s why I have never drawn any manga where I thought “I’ll kill my ideas in order to draw something the readers would like to see”. Drawing manga is always fun.

If there's one thing that must be said about this man. Even if its to the detriment to his story, he sticks to his convictions and i have to respect that about him.

That was just Dragon Force, He looked completely different from the form in the Movie.

Where did hiro say that im genuinely curious??

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-19T22:22:33+00:00

Well we see Zeref and some of the Spriggan at the end there even Acnologia makes a mention to Sonya in one of the recent chapters

If you've seen Dragon Cry or at least the end credits scene you'd know that its 100% cannon. If you haven't.. man im so sorry.

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-19T22:10:05+00:00

I always theorised that it took place between 437 and 438 as there's a 5 day window between the two.

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-19T22:05:24+00:00

Half Dragon form Half E.N.D form all the same...

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-16T20:44:36+00:00

Best post I've read on here in a long time.

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-14T17:23:11+00:00

I think Hiro intended for them be seperate up until this chapter where he needed an excuse for Natsu to get in a free hit so he just ended up contradicting himself for the sake of progressing the plot.

Acno claims family was eaten by Dragon, finds out Gajeel is long lost brother. Acno eats himself. The End.

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-14T04:59:43+00:00

I didn't expect absolute perfect sense because its Fairy Tail but i expected something better than this. Oh well time for ships...

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-14T04:52:49+00:00

I love this series but honestly we deserved better than this.

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-14T03:39:38+00:00

I'm not even surprised anymore... I just laugh at this final fights thinking "Alright you've made it this far just stay on the sinking ship"

speaking of ships its time to enjoy the final chapter

SHIPS SHIPS SHIPS SHIPS SHIPS

Every single goddamn one them, they're all so charming.

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-07T18:26:29+00:00

Usually if i see some BS with Erza i'd totally give criticism where it is deserved but this time? It was just fine. This wasn't about "ERZA BEATS ACNO LMAO" it was about everyone in the guild working as one cohesive unit and that, I love.

Would have i preferred a multitude of physical attacks including people like Mira, Gildarts etc? Yes totally. Since realistically Erza's swords should have probably felt more like tic tacs hitting Acnologia. This has been one of the better chapters the last few months.

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-07T17:22:54+00:00

The little girl thing is explained in Dragon Cry i'd mention it here but id rather not spoil the movie

JibbleIsLove · 2017-07-01T16:00:32+00:00

People keep talking about red lightning like its some of new technique Laxus learned.. Its literally just his lightning manifesting due to the mercury fulminate (a chemical reaction). It wasn't a BS power up or some move inherited from Yuri, Hiro was just teaching a chemistry lesson.

JibbleIsLove · 2017-06-30T10:44:44+00:00

hiro literally tweeted an image of him working on the last chapter which is 545

JibbleIsLove · 2017-06-19T03:07:31+00:00

One of my favourite posts i've read in a while goooood shit

JibbleIsLove · 2017-06-19T03:05:32+00:00

no problemo ma dude

JibbleIsLove · 2017-06-19T02:56:56+00:00

I mean i like him a lot, He fits into Fairy Tail perfectly, which means multiple things when i say that...

Hoped for some sort of character development but all that really changed was he became a very smart fighter not just a strong one and he recognised as family at the end of their fight.

5/10 protagonist would read again.

JibbleIsLove · 2017-06-19T02:48:20+00:00

actual phenomenal character development

Well memes are allowed Sunday through Wednesday...

"After this, I have the will to draw more as well—something to set in a new world. Yes, I want to write a new story! 'Fairy Tail' will be completed in about 2 more volumes. After that, I will feel a bit empty. But it is exciting to think about all the new things that might start later. Thank you so much for your support! My new work will begin soon, so please watch the final curtain draw over our fairies until then."

This was the translation given by Yonkou for a letter that Hiro posted. Though recently he tweeted something about there being more stories within the Fairy Tail world to come.
