----------------------------------------
Oo, the match between Grey and Rufus is extended a bit. Nice. It still was the way I remember from the manga though with Gray struggling at first :/ I did enjoy the fight to an extent especially near that ending. Gray unleashes some serious power there so Rufus bites the dust :D

Lucy also looked good in a swimsuit this episode although the setting felt a bit out of place.

What an episode, this episode just adapted one chapter and got streched into an whole episode. So we get some filler with Natsu's group, but fun filler, I like how they mentioned it was a waste of time, kind of acknowledge it's filler.

Anyway Gray vs Rufus, I thought it was a great battle. I don't understand is so bitter about losing to him last time, but whatever. He got his redemption, and when Gray stripped, I was waiting to seeing Juvia's reaction weather she would go back on her promese to herself and take a peak at the battle.

It was a little corny that they made a big fuzz about the heart and friendship, but that's Fairy Tail, that is their MO, than and fan service.

Next episode, we meet some new characters who could cause problems for Natsu and the gang.

Gray and Rufus are having an intense fight. Gray being beaten up by Rufus at the start gave me an intense feeling. That magic Gray used, looks like a combination of Erza's weapons and it surprised Rufus and knocks him out. Gray using too much ice make magic, Rufus couldn't keep up memorizing all at once. Gray's face when he placed the hat on his head, looks badass.

Awesome episode. But there's still more battles to come. Can't wait for the others!

I thought there would be blood for the continuation, but it seems we are not getting it.

Glad this fight was over, seriously can't wait for Kagura vs. Erza.

It looks like they only adapted one chapter this episode. Surprising for an episode that had the least amount of recap so far (Not counting the first one).

Most of the filler material was spent with Natsu and the others (Which I admit was quite funny, which Fairy Tail filler is quite good at) and I think they added a little more to Grey struggling against Rufus.

Gray defies gravity! His determination!
The reaction when Gray takes of his shirt xD Gray wearing Rufus's hat!
It was nice to see Juvia's trust on Gray.
A mini "Grand Magic" game occurred in a different way!
Rufus's power did seem op, but Gray out-sped his memory.

Well good episode, o.o weird flower at the end.

This had less battle than I had hoped for, but what I had seen was great.
I like how this show, for the most part, doesn't use willpower as the determining factor. They use more power or something smart. Like how he made the ice make magic to fast for him to read. Which is crazy considering Rufus read those books.

Dat Lucy and Mirajane Fanservice, I love it :3. This fight was kinda boring, really obvious Rufus was going to get annihilated by Gray in the end, but it was still good. Next week we get to see the new enemies that Natsu and them are facing, I'm all fired up!

Side Note: I rlllllllllllllly want to see Erza fight all ready !!!!!!

Every woman in the audience simultaneously came when Grey took his shirt off. On another note Rufus has the coolest, most overpowered magic in the series. He should have just memorized some magic from Jellal and Jura when they were fighting.

Gray's attack were good but it wasn't great, they needed to animate him attacking and not cut to Rufus defeated.

In most of the fights they had in this arc, the MCs get beat up in the beginning from multiple attacks, but end up winning with just a few moves, so Gray winning this fight wasn't too unexpected.

Fairy Tail logic sucks. If Rufus has been using memory magic, I think he would have been able to improve enough, by now, to catch up with Gray's infinite make/whatever. Plus, how does Gray even have enough energy for that?

That being said, I somehow remembered this chapter being more enjoyable. Were there any major changes to it? O:

Yeah...the fight sequence was kinda disappointing. Too much talking, too little fighting. :/

Sorry bro, logic doesn't go hand in hand with Fairy Tail.
Anyway, this part isn't actually too bad. I feel like Rufus' memory make is very versatile but lacks in power. Sure it's pretty but after so many free attacks he couldn't take out Gray. So his power must be lacking.
There's two kinds of people you can't win an argument against:
One - Too dumb to tell right from wrong.
Two - Too stubborn to admit they are wrong.

Not shabby, though the fight had more dialogue than I hoped for. And Gray's line about remembering hotter flames was way more epic in the manga. Regardless, nice win there at the end. :D

Fun little filler too with Happy's idea with Mira and Lucy. XD

I think this was the longest time Gray stayed in an outfit before taking it off...
Also thought Ice Make Unlimited was very Erza-inspired.

The whole getting-beat-up and then destroying the enemy is getting old..this is why I enjoy Erza's fights more in general...she at least puts up a decent fight (at least in my memory).

Kinda weird how you say it completely backward. Only a few battles like this that has some strategies in it, the rest and especially Natsu's fights are complete willpower factored.

Jellal and Jura magics are on another league for him to copy though, you will understand why soon.


For the episode I enjoyed this fight in Manga a lot but they drag it out so much here which ruins the mood for me here...

Kinda better animation from the last 2 eps.
I had the feeling of One Piece pace in this one, dunno why.
3/5 because Gray with Rufus' hat reminded me of a Cavendish-Oga combo :P

Gray takes a beating, but continues to get up and take more of a beating.

Gray strips.

Gray destroys opponent.

Gray puts on hat, looks completely badass.

Results: Gray should keep the hat.

Fan service this episode was fun, it's always nice to see Mirajane.

I'm still having difficulty with this new animation. It's kinda crappy. I miss the old style, and I really never thought I'd say that about Fairy Tail animation.

The fight was good, usual FT fight scene. Gray's fights have never been that big of a deal for me, much prefer watching Erza or Natsu fight. Even Lucy has had some good fights, wonder what Leo has been up to? Wonder if we'll get a good Mirajane battle since Natsu's group will be attacked next episode?

Oh, well. I'll give this one 7/10.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Honestly I couldn't tell the difference when the art is good and when it is bad I just enjoy the anime, and manga for what it is, Plot, characters, fights. And when someone decides not to watch simply because of the art, it just doesn't seem, practical.

The way they showed Juvia multiple times was so forced, and I was like "ughhh". Showing her once or twice would've been enough. On top of it, she kept saying the same thing again and again.

Lol at "He took it off" Finally Ice Make Unlimited! I still am mad at the animators for ruining the art and animation related to my fav. male character i.e. Gray. Lucy's fine so I am thankful for that but with Gray, the treatment is horrible.

Anyways, "I've dealt with hotter flames".

Don't know what to think anymore. If only Fairy Tail could become it used to be... I am getting tired of saying this again and again... Wish those times could come when I looked forward to every episode like my week wouldn't be complete without it.

The episode was good - the animation was a bit static but I am hoping they're just saving money to animate the climax of this arc the way it deserves.

Shirtless Gray with Rufus's hat... now, isn't that worth memorizing...

Did anyone notice how big-sized Lily's face is just completely messed-up in the preview?

I am greatfull that gray looks more like a adult now.. in the old FT he looked like a 10 year old.. his eyes and hair are god now..same with Erza.. god, Erza is great now

I know what you mean. I was disappointed a bit as well because it was done so much better in the manga. The fight could have been a lot better if the animators tried a bit harder but in the end it felt a bit underwhelming :/
