That's Mashima's biggest problem, really. He has no clue how to balance character screen time. Despite there being dozens of possibilities for story arcs with various characters, he chooses to focus on his beloved Lucy and her two dimensional friends. Erza is of course the exception to this rule. If I were given control of FT, you'd better believe that she'd put front and center. Other minor characters like Elfman, Mirajane, Cana, would be given much more to do as well.

While I agree it is somewhat of a waist that Lisanna hasn't been used much this arc, but she played a big role in Tenrou somewhat, much more so than Bixlow, Freid, or Evergreen. Yes she didn't have a big role in the Tournament arc, but there were tons of other characters in that. You can't focus on all the characters at once, cause it takes away from the main ones. Personally, I think Mashima has done a far better job than most artists with fleshing out his characters. Naruto and Bleach hardly even focus on their main protagonists aside from Naruto, Ichigo, Sasuke, and Kakashi. But that's just my opinion

the problem with Naruto is they jump around too much, its just incoherent story arcs aside from the main one that all follow up to one ending. I cant say anything for bleach since I haven't watched it. But FT does need a few side arcs that are relevant and not just random filler like the flash backs in Naruto. What was the point of me watching how Shino became a better close quarters fighter other than the Hinata fanservice scenes. Hopefully in the Second season WHICH IS OUT NOW. will have more arcs with lisanna. Plus Wendy got a lot of screen time on her beginning plot.
