Defeating the final boss with fanservice would be really appropiate for this manga.

Okay I caught up to chapter 544, and it was everything I expected.

It's hilarious that Mavis and Zeref hosed off to another dimension or whatever and left behind their one child who they didn't even know was theirs.

But yeah, true love and all that.

It is neat how they hosed over the final boss by using motion sickness, I'll give it props for that.

Well in most of them. The villain was way stronger then him, so somthing else gave him a power up to win.

Lucy did something both useful and important without loving it up at all. The supposed main character actually was pivotal to beating the big bad.

I will be very displeased when she isn't guild master in the ending.

No it was some girl he did not even know. Appearntly the rest of his family was eaten however which he stated in the chapter before. But pretty much he was just an rear end in a top hat. He did not even have a good design, as it was pretty much just Zancrow again.

I'd say that overall, the anime is able to smooth out some of the rougher bits of the story, so this shouldn't be too bad. Plus it's nice to know that the story won't be left hanging.

Also one of the Sacrifices that had happened, Celica losing her magic was undone.

No Consequences at all. There was not a single one I can think of in the series.

I kinda like how the ending is the author stand in being like "editors I wanna sleep and draw perverted stuff" and Natsu the stand in for the shonen anima is just like NO. WORK. GET BACK TO WORK.

Or something like that. Bad ending but whatever, FT gonna FT.

Shame that the only consequences suffered in the entire manga are a dude with a metal jaw that most people can't remember being the only person to die, Jellal's buddy in crime and Gray's redemption example sacrificing her youth, and the bad dragon disintegrating because he never learned the power of friendship.

gildartz didnt do poo poo to acnologia despite his beef. he also had the old "shortened lifespan" trope from losing a bunch of organs to him iirc. which never amounts to anything in anime/manga
