The Past vs The Present (Rave vs FT)

Other than getting obsessed with One Piece, I have tons of interests to get busy with my daily life. . Drawing, Reading manga, Blogging, Studying nihongo, Watching anime, Freelancing while waiting for the day i get to go up the stage that will lead me to a bright future maybe. .  nevermind.
So let me tell you first, I was actually once an avid reader of Fairy Tail having thought it was the Most Amazing Thing Ever before encountering One Piece in 2010. My opinion changed after Fairy Tail became kind of dull after acnologia came in and literally 'destroyed' Fairy Tail, don't get me wrong i still like Fairy Tail it had the potential but lacked depth that makes it hard to sympathize with or accept any kind of seriousness (Fun, lighthearted kind of manga) Team Natsu's dynamics is still interesting to watch.

 Then there was Rave Master (Hiro Mashima's prior work) though not really that great in terms of its characters and story, There was one particular arc 'The Truth of Elie' near the end that had a melodramatic plot twist which left me at awe at the masterful storytelling mashima sensei showcased. That certain scene of sieg in his remains carved deeply in my heart to this day. I wish mashima would pull off another one of a twist like that in his future works.
