Dragon Slayers are Becoming Boring

Honestly this probably isn’t even a hot-take at this point if you consider the argument. The Dragon Slayers are becoming the same repeats and we get nothing interesting.

THIS WILL HOLD SPOILERS FOR 100 YEAR QUEST

Out of all the slaying types in Fairy Tail, the most we know about is Dragon Slaying. This is no surprise. After all, one of the central characters to the story is a dragon slayer and a few members of Fairy Tail also match him in this regard. It is no surprise that Dragon Slaying magic is a heavy part of the series, which it showcases through most of its arcs.  We have enemies that are Dragon Slayers as well and even ranges from different generations all the way from first generation to fifth generation (as of 100 year quest). They range in strength, durability, and background but they all just blend together at some point. I don’t really even count as the “fourth generation” as a generation as I’m pretty sure they were just robot like things in the Dragon Cry movie and not actual people. At least the fifth generation does something different, giving them their power based off the dragons that they have consumed. There could be more out there, but I’m tired of exploring Dragon Slayer magic. You know what also is a part of the gang that gets no screen time and we know pretty much nothing about? Devil Slayer Magic. The potential for this could be wild, but we really get nothing outside of what Gray learned from Silver. I don’t even think Bloodman explained much. Out of the three slayers we know that have/had Devil Slaying magic, all three of them have an ice form of it. Surely there are more versions of this magic. I feel like Devil Slaying was just a cop out of some sorts to get the audience excited and to give Gray a well deserved power boost, but we got nothing out of it. The other magic we know nothing of is God Slaying magic. Despite the different characters we know have it, we know nothing of it. We don’t know anything about the few gods. Its a shame due to Natsu literally fighting one and I though Dimaria was cool with her power up. But we really know nothing about how they obtain their power. I mean, Cherria is Sherry’s cousin and still we know nothing about how her whole god slaying magic works.  It is very unfortunate because there are plenty of paths for these villains to take in order to bring out more world building in the magic system, but we will probably never know about it. Fairy Tail was and will always will be centered around these dragons. While there are more for them to come up with for these dragons, it would be nice to take a break. Anyways, what are your thoughts? I’m interested to see what you all think about the slaying magics and where we could go from here. Though I think there are endless miles of potential for it at this point.

I’ll see you all later in the Deep End!!

Anime Magic 2023: Saturday

Saturday morning kicked off with breakfast in @shbumi's room, then she and I did some PoGo in the area.

At about 1040, we headed toward the hotel ballroom to join the line for Drag Show.

It seemed odd to be going to a drag event in the morning, but apparently Oriana requested it when scheduling. There were some technical hiccups and delays, so the show proper (which was scheduled at 1100) didn't start until approximately 1115.

And what a show it was! As always, a kickass event. I apologize for any blurriness to the photos, but it definitely was a great time.

After the drag show, we stuck around for an Iaido demonstration and discussion. @lechevaliermalfet got to go onstage for some hands-on work while @shbumi and I remained in the audience, listening as the presenter explained what the groups on stage were doing.

After Iaido, it was time for some lunch. And then for shopping!

We made sure to make a pit stop at @artbyquinton's booth. It's always great to see what new stuff he's rolling out and it's also a good chance to catch up if we haven't seen him for awhile.

After his booth, we checked out the other offerings on display from various artists and dealers.

It may seem a strange thing to say, but in some ways, the artist alley and dealer hall feel too big for a con the size of Anime Magic. Like, I love having so many booths to visit. But I also don't budget for AM the same way I would for say, ACen or Otakon, in terms of money for the exhibit hall. I budget less, since the event is smaller. So then I feel bad when I see the amount of cool stuff on hand. There were plenty of artists where I ended up grabbing business cards to hopefully support them at a later time.

After shopping, it was getting on late afternoon and it was finally time for another panel: The Best of Steampunk Anime.

This was a cool panel, and it was presented by a member of the Chicago Steampunk Exposition team. So you know he knew his stuff. First, we were given a short background on steampunk, then divided into small groups to brainstorm anime we thought *might* be on the list that our presenter intended to talk about. Each group offered up a title, and we ranked what was offered.

And then, we began to review this list by CBR. For each title offered, we had some discussion as to why CBR included it...and why our presenter would or wouldn't include it in his own list.

I think I had more fun and learned more in this panel than I have in almost every other steampunk-themed panel I've attended.

After the panel, we ordered dinner from Giordano's, but knew we would have an hour to kill before it arrived. So @lechevaliermalfet and I checked out the itasha car show while @shbumi chilled in her room.

I loved wandering the cars and looking at the different wrap jobs, even if I didn't always know the show being represented.

I also tried not to pay too much attention to Tattoo Alley, which was right next door. See, I had considered getting a tattoo during AM 2022 but decided against it. And this year, I had planned to get one if the tattoo artist returned - but you aren't supposed to get a tattoo during pregnancy. So I just looked at the increased number of options and hey, we'll see. Maybe if we attend AM 2024, I'll get one. Next year's con schedule is a bit up in the air, since we'll have an infant to consider.

We grabbed some drinks and extra snacks from the Hello Tokyo booth (and got some pocky balloons) and then headed back to the hotel for dinner.

After dinner, we went down to the Anime Singalong Dance Party with Kohei. It was scheduled for 2100, but technical issues meant that it ran late. As on Friday, it was great to just sing and dance along to anime OPs with a bunch of other nerds.

Kohei didn't get to put on as long of a show as Friday night due to the tech issues, as there was a concert scheduled immediately after him.

Crunk Witch are a married couple who go for an electro-pop sound. They did some kickass 80s covers during their show. Annnd they also hit tech issues. Really, this seems to be a recurring thing for AM.

Oh! and on a random note, I got a free glow bracelet from the Atlas cosplayer, who was hanging out just outside of the concert.

I don't expect free stuff from cosplayers, for obvious reasons, so it was cool to get something.

I also grabbed a Crunk Witch CD after the concert. There was a dance scheduled for after Crunk Witch, but for us, it was time to call it a night. We were wiped.

Con photos! I’m nearly home from my time at the con and it was all I could hope for! I got to meet Copens English va Alejandro Saab who took a photo with me and signed my copy of striker pack, I nabbed the blu ray of getter robo arc + some guilty gear goodies and got recognize as Ryoma twice! Not to mention saw so many amazing cosplayers. I couldn’t have wished for a better first con experience, only downsides were my costume being too tight-my legs are gonna die later lol-and there wasn’t much to do after a bit so I left significantly early, but otherwise great! I hope to go to another con one of these days.
