While I've only read all of Fairy Tail and a decent chunk of Rave, I've noticed his art evolution over time, and it's been pretty insane, genuinely. My opinion here might change after I read EZ, but it looks like he's currently in this very weird fixed FT art style. Kinda meh.
The argument is basically "That's his style, of course the two series resemble each other"
That's true to an extent, but look at Obata. These are all series he drew, with a fundamentally similar art style, but none of them really look similar.
Shit isn't even hitting the fan at this point. The fan's been beaten out of existence.
