i think weve all realized that in hyq all the characters are ooc. tbh i think that the reason is cuz mashima doesnt write them anymore.

i think the only part of the story he actually does the story board of is like the main fights and just a general gist of what is to come.

the reason i think this is that in the one shot that was released a few days before the hyq anime was written by him and all the characters seemed much more in character. like how gray and natsu actually fought alot and gray stripped much more and ichiya just somehow being there and erza being her strict but goofy self.

i think smth that proves this is when a fan asked mashima to draw lucy in a pisces star dress, he had no idea yukino even had star dresses.

this also probably explain why nalus relationship feels so completely unlike their relationship in og ft and why alot of characters feel so ooc, ueda doesnt know how to write these characters. he cant write them in the way mashima did. hyq doesnt have the super emotional moments that the og ft had. the only one i can remember of the top of my head is when lucy was afraid of natsus flames for the first time but i think mashima wrote the first few arcs which is why they seem more fleshed out.

also i absolutely hate uedas art style. they look like their 15 when theyre in their early 20s and wendy looks 10. unlike when mashima drew them and wendy actually grew.

Console me

And then I’ll leave without a trace
