Fairy Tail

[Myoti]

I believe there was a thread about this elsewhere but I couldn't locate.

Anyways, I got around to reading the first two chapters, and I'm actually impressed (which for me, lately, has been hard to do). Yes, bits of the art seem similar to OP, but who cares. >.>

Natsu's ability seems interesting, but I'd like to know if there will be more ways he can use it (i.e., like how Luffy finds different ways to use his own abilities).

I'm wary about magic in stories (as it can be pretty easy to mess it up), but if he can keep things within good boundaries and going well, this could end up to be pretty good.

And Grey... both amuses and disturbs me. XD

I've been reading this as well.
It is rather difficult to know exactly where a manga will go just from the first few chapters.

I find it interesting that the supporting mages in the Fairy Tail guild have some sort of weird character flaw/quirk. So far, there is: a drunk, a fightaholic thug character, a ladies man, and .......a streaker.....

We'll see where this leads.

Classic line: "Good for you, Luigi."
Ha!

Ah, I hadn't realized this manga was starting. It seems to me as if the series debut was very recent. I've already given a number of reasons I'm skeptical in that thread, but I'll have to give this series a try. Once I've read some of it perhaps I'll have more to say.

[Myoti]

Total agreement with both of you. As I said, I'm worried mainly about how well the magic concept will be utilized, but it at least seems to have a pretty good start.

Classic line: "Good for you, Luigi."
Ha!

Yes, that was great. As was Gray. A bit disturbing, yet funny. XD
Good flaws can make some great characters, it seems.

I read the first two chapters (thanks for the links Myoti) and so far it has a really colorful, imaginative set of characters. I can alread tell I'm going to enjoy it. I've never gotten in on a new shounen jump series so early before.... usually I get into them after the first 100 or so chapters are already released (like Naruto and One Piece and Bleach).

Yes, I made a thread for it in the anime section called "Bleach Piece".
Myoti, I would be interested in reading it, I'll PM you.

I didn't get a strong feeling about it either way, from the first two chapters. It has a decent fantasy environment going for it, but that is a plus merely because of my preferences, not because of the series' quality. We'll have to see how it turns out as the plot develops and themes begin to appear.

I vaguely wonder if Mashima will build off of any of the magic elements he used in Rave or use an entirely new system.
Outside of this, I don't really have any further comments about it at the moment.

Correction: It's not Shonen Jump, it's Shonen Magazine...

My apologies... Shounen something-or-other then. =] No need to be picky.
