----------------------------------------
Mirajane is such a good girl :3

The episode felt somewhat slow but I'm fine with it since it focuses on the Eclipse Arc and with more of the upcoming battles. Looks like most of the guilds are reuniting together as well. About time. The battle between Natsu and Future Rogue used an interesting choice of OST this episode though. I wonder when that will come out. And damn, Natsu got owned.

Didn't expect Natsu to get beaten have to say that was a surprise.
Good episode otherwise. Nice to see all the guilds coming together as one.

She looks very off. Other than that It feels like the King and the Fairy Tail guild master are related or something

I thought it was a great episode. So Future Rogue is confirmed as evil.

So the king finally shows himself and he was the pumpkin man all this time. What a twist. Future Rogue is a sick person, he killed his own friend and he is proud of it.

Looks like Lucy is destined to stop the portal from opening, looks like she is being pocessed, I wonder if Future Rogue is controling and needs the portal to stop from opening in order for his evil plan to unfold?

I wonder what Jellal wants from the council? It was great to finally see Ultear do something in this arc. She and Meredy have been observing doing nothing else, finally at least one of the ladies from Crime Sorciere is getting in the game.

Can't wait till next week to see what happens next.

Natsu vs Future Rogue was awesome. Future Rogue was badass looking in White Shadow Dragon. Natsu got pretty beat up and got sucked into the shadows.
Eclipse got opened. Surprise surprise ....

So, was impressed at some parts, the animation looked nice in certain scenes. Other scenes had the usual powerpoint animation that 2014 adopted. A few scenes had choppy frames... I mean when the door was opening or when Natsu was initially sinking into the ground, it looked like frames were missing. I thought this was a mistake on the version I had but I took another one and had the same problem.

Lucy, close the door. It's obvious as hell as what's behind it.

I love how Natsu uses his Fire Lightning Dragon form now instead of using it during the Knight fights and such.

Oh shit the whole time eclipse is actually a gate for the dragons to come in from. Close it Lucy!



Yeah man, he looked too evil to be "saving" the future from Lucy, who would have actually been the savior.

I wonder what happens to all those that are sucked in to the shadows!

Read chapter 326 to see how the fight went in the manga. Natsu was near-death. I'm a little disappointed but ehh.

So natsu gets killed by a dragon in the future lel i totally wanna see that, and that was a pretty good episode although i think fairy tail would be alot better if the fights were a little more longer than this and focused on a bit more still was really a good fight cant wait for the dragons next week.

OMG AHAHAHA I DIDNT NOTICE THAT!! I noticed Elfman's face but I didnt notice Cana xDD How did I miss that!!?? omg thank you for pointing that out, made my day(:

I only like future Rogue because he nearly killed Lucy(:

But I have to say, I liked Lucy's part in this at the end, I feel like whatever she is going to do, it's the right thing. Kind of hoped Natsu was there to support her or something. WHICH IS WEIRD CAUSE I DON'T SHIP NALU......

All this build up and now we are guaranteed to see dragons in the next episode. If there is going to be any action from the guild alliance is debatable though.

But damn these guys always know how to use their 5 seconds of spotlight.

From what we've seen in Rogue vs Gajeel fight, Rogue got possessed with some evil shadow, so even tho it escaped after the fight, I'm pretty sure it's found its way into Rogue again and it's not Rogue doing all the evil things, but his evil shadow...

It did seem like the Shadow man came back and again possessed future Rogue in order to take revenge. It also seems like Rogue finally lost hope for himself and gave in to evilness. If the shadow had certain relations to the dragons, he would for sure planned to annihilate humans as well.

A huge plot twist in the series is that Natsu actually lost. I think this is a very important aspect contrary to the Natsu who always stood up after each punch.

Natsu was absorbed by the shadow? So next comes shadow Natsu?

Natsu vs Future Rogue!

I hope Natsu will kick future Rogue's ass!

Awwww, Mirajane T.T

That's one small king lol.

Don't cry king... I feel like crying now T.T

At last, back to Natsu's fight with future Rogue.

Aha! I knew that Rogue probably lied about opening the Eclipse portal.

I think the dragons will come out of the portal...

White Shadow Dragon Mode :O?

Wtf... he stole that power after killing Sting...

I was sure the dragons would come out of the portal lol.

Animation this episode was really bad. The pacing is so slow as well. What was up with that scene at 19:57 when Ultear asked Meredy to bring first-aid meds? She sounded like a frog croaking or something.

I was at least hoping they would make this arc more enjoyable than it was in the manga but so far it's even worse.

Indeed. Your prof pic is amazing in every way. I use it on other forums and on steam.

Interesting new op. In it it looks like.. Ultear has a massive increase in power?

Jellal and his gang being special and amazing as usual..

Don't they want to move out of the way of the giant portal? Don't they think it is a cannon? .-.

Eve had some pretty bad frames too.

Decent episode... It almost felt like that they spend 5 entire minutes to animate an big door opening <_< (Not true, but it feels like it)

Lately it seems like they are animating the most stupid stuff to fill up the 22 minute during episode.
