Shonen Beam

Cat Island is expendable, for the record.

Natsu’s face is amusing, but his reaction is predictable. So little originality in his character.

Wendy might be the stereotypical “little girl with secret power thrust into difficult situation,” but she’s still cute.

Gazille! More of him would be entirely acceptable.

So he’s just going to go punch the crystals? Yeah, I’m sure no one will interfere.

… “I’m sure no one will interfere,” he said.

Transparent foreshadowing, but unlike Naruto, where it leads to plot advancement, this is entirely gratuitous. An amusement park? Really?

More weirdo enemies.

Final Flash: “At least we’re moving forward” is becoming a tired assessment of this series. Some decent storytelling along the way wouldn’t hurt.
