Warrod and Yuri's rivalry is so silly.

I definitely got an adventure thrill from this episode though with the guys fleeing underground lol. Definitely a fun way to capitalize on their abilities and teamwork. Although the monster was a damn disgusting one though, makes me want to puke

Fun storytelling. Mavis and Zena has an adorable relationship :3

What a silly way to censor the fact that Mavis and Zera were naked in that lake. Just slap swimsuits on them for no reason.

Anyway, I was wondering how they were going to extend the next chapter into an episode and I like what I see.

Okay this was a tale of two episodes, one filler and one plot related.

We go on a camping trip, and I have a feeling Zera is not going to catch any fish, Yuri and Warrod have a fight. We get a flashback within a flashback, you don't see that everyday.

It was a fun filler, no harm done.

And we have the infamous bathing scene, and it was censored they weren't naked like in the manga, even though the opening shows up uncensored, go figure, this was the scene that made me think perhaps there was a connection between Zera and Cana, they are both perverts, ha ha.

We arrive Magnolia, and oh no it is being destroyed, I guess things never change.

Next episode, epic battle and set ups towards something very big.

It was an okay episode, kinda semi annoyed at the censoring since it takes away a bit from the scene (Mavis and Zera were naked together in the lake in the manga. Weird since the opening shows them naked still, which means it might have been a last minute decision to put swimsuits on them or the Blu-Ray release will be uncensored).

I did like all the extended scenes though since I liked seeing Yuri, Precht, and Warrod adventuring together before meeting Mavis. Next episode we finally see the Blue Skull guild D:

xD. so much fun.
If I wasn't so sketched out I would guess, maybe Zera is gildarts wife/mother?
We are another step closure to the founding of Fairy Tail. Zera :')
I wonder if a dragon will appear/move :o

also, the death forest, #Zeref? :3

Pretty okay episode. The adventure of the treasure hunter trio was pretty silly.

Mavis and Zera were really cute together in the lake.

Magnolia is in ruins :o , I thought it would be a bustling city.

Another okay episode. Quite a bit of filler. They censored the Mavis and Zera scene.

This episode was OK, felt like it was pretty slow and kind of uninteresting.

However, I did really enjoy the last 10 mins as we see them arrive to Magnolia :D

And they finally arrive in Magnolia, which does not look like it's in good shape. Can't wait till next episode.

The filler with the adventures of Yuri, Warrod and Precht was funny, silly, but funny. I'm liking the trio so far.

The scene of the bath of Mavis and Zera was weird. In the opening they show the scene with them naked, but the anime added those swimsuits... Not that I care for that, but it weirded me.

Next episode we will finally see Blue Skull.

The filler episode was really enjoyable and mixed in perfectly with the plot. Also they decided to censor the bath scene :(..

The episode was okay, nothing to special considering this was pretty much just a filler episode. It was nice and cool to see them on a treasure hunt and fight that monster and also having some yuri at the end with that cute moment between Zera and Mavis but overall it was just an average filler episode. At least now they have finally made it to Magnolia and I can't wait to see where the story goes in the next episode!

Here is my full review on the episode:

I know that people have continuously mentioned this, but I'm very disappointing at the censoring in the lake. This was one of the few scenes in this anime where there as a nude scene and it had absolutely nothing to do with fan service, but instead it demonstrated just how strong the bond is between Zera and Mavis. When I read the manga, it made the entire experience from beginning to end so much more powerful knowing just how close they were; they were closer than sisters where all they had was each other for their entire life, bathing together with no shame, just purely happy with each others company knowing each other are there for each other. Putting clothes on them just made it seem like all of the times the anime showed Lucy naked to appease fan was worth more than an actual bond of pure platonic love is. I understand that it isn't in good taste to put two 13 year old girls in a lake without censoring it, but it's not like Fairy Tail hasn't done that before, it's not like anything lewd was even shown in the manga, and it was in the opening without the censor.

Now that I've gotten that rant out of me, I'm really enjoying this arc, hopefully this is the "filler arc" instead of having the animation team try to put together some irrelevant story like they did for filler arcs.

I really liked this episode for what it was. The biggest highlight is seeing Mavis and Zera's friendship blossom after the amount of years they've been together.

Going by the previous episode and the one we received this week I'm pretty sure I got my theory on Zera now:

There's going to have to be filler of some sort, even beyond Zero. The anime is way too close to catching up to the manga, so unless it adapts some of the other prequel and spin off stories, a filler arc is needed, especially with the manga in the middle of a long arc with no end in sight.

Why did they switch to swimsuits in the first place? It's not like they planned on swimming in the lake.

So first they make them change for no apparent reason several scenes before endind up in the lake, only to actually censor it compared to the OP and the manga?

Weird.

The power of Yuri. No, not that Yuri. The other Yuri. You know...that Yuri.

Congrats to A-1 for improving the scene before Zera rolled down in the lake. DEM ZERA LEGS!

Now...BAD, A-1! BAD! What part of fully nude did you not understand? You had it in the OP, but not in the actual scene. How could you ruin that scene? Not even surprised.

These guys are really trying hard not to acknowledge Zera. lol

This one felt like it was mostly filler, but like the underwater temple one it felt like enjoyable filler, and the last quarter was pretty good. There have been arcs in Fairy Tail that I didn't care about, and arcs that I've been very invested in. This one so far has been in the latter category

This episode "felt" more fillerish than the last one, but I guess it's all right. Reading about the censorship makes me sad, but two nude 13 year olds don't fly in the West regardless of the context.

Oh, wait, this is an anime, i.e. not made in the West. Stop being a little bitch, Fairy Tail.

I hope to see more of the bond Mavis and Zera share. It seems very sweet.

Magnolia looks like a fucking ghetto compared to its modern counterpart... wtf.
