THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Honestly one of the best fights I've seen ever, waaaaay much better than the manga in my opinion. The animation was amazing, the whole entire episode was focused entirely on that fight. It turned a towards the emotional side with the fighting for your comrades; I welled up a tiny-tiny-tiny bit there.
10/10.
Soundtrack was epic as well. Especially with the Rakuen no Tou OST they used, that was epic o.o.

So, they finally finished a fight. I guess now, with their magic power no longer being drained, Fairy Tail is back and kicking.

Next up are several fights, with Gildarts vs. Blue Note being the most anticipated for me. Gildarts didn't do much so far after all, especially not since arriving. I also wonder what Ultear is up to. Is she seriously just doing what she thinks Ur would want her to, or it is all just to fool him? She didn't use her chance to attack him after all.

She surely can't be stupid enough to think she can "turn" Gray, the moment he is convinced whatever Ultear is doing isn't what Ur wanted he would be an enemy again, so what does she want with him?

And when is Laxus (spoilerous opening is spoilerous, like all the others) going to appear? Oh, and why didn't Natsu use the chance to power himself up by sucking in that fire from Azuma? Too weak? He could speak quite a lot. Too far away? Maybe.

Should have robbed over there instead of talking. He actually looked like he would be about to eat it for a moment, but then they changed scene and the chance had passed. Too bad, would have been awesome to see Azumas expression. And better then Erza playing Natsu (as in, getting beat, standing up, getting beat again, standing up again). And why didn't she use her Flame Empress armor against his fire based attacks? Can't she requip when being hold? Didn't she already do this?

Easily one of the best episodes of Fairy Tail. The ending to that fight will surprise no one, the animation was not stellar, and the power of friends has been done before. Despite that I found the episode gripping and exciting, Erza comes through yet again.

And of course holy crap, what a non-stop stream of incredible music. OST 4 can't come soon enough.

I'll be watching this a couple more times before the weekend's over.

Wow, very amazing battle. Erza Scarlet really is making battle episodes top notch.

I wish the opening song was still Towa no Kizuna by Daisy x Daisy, so then it'd match the theme of this fight. :p

Rachmaninoff eh?

I'm glad they upped up the animation during the Erza fight. Her being my favourite character, it was definitely a treat.

P.S.

Awesome how they animated the prison, it was much better than the manga version,and there was also cameo of Daphne there. Loved the Erza fight extension, it made the overall fight much more interesting. Gives me hope that some of the few remaining fights will also be extended

i guess you dont read the manga...

answer 1 : natsu cant even stand up and so everyone else even gildarts ..and also yes its far away..natsu only eat fire when it all over him or infront of him...he cant suck fire from long distance...
but sucking that fire from azuma wont even help bec of the draining power going on the island ...natsu may power up but it wont last that long

answer 2 :well your right equiping into flame resistance armor will help but i think erza already decided not to use armor or no defence just complete attack at that time...
but erza is gonna win in the end anyway....so screw comon sense

about LAXUS ..just wait we will appear after all
yes the opening states he will appear and also the hint when he will arrive

this is no spoiler but just watch the op use just your comon sense til you got it when

YES!! they finally showed Erza's best armor
i'd really like to see her fight wearing that seductive clothes. She's so hot and she looks prettier than usual. And It seems that there's a chance that Jellal and Erza will reunite once more. I look forward to it.

Erza's first loss


Second loss. It was Tenroujima power.


O_O! Erza realize that she's not alone and the guild is protecting each other... =')


Finally, Erza defeated Azuma :B


Edit: 6 out of 5...

Amazing animation, intense fighting and epic soundtrack. Erza winning by the power of friendship was obvious, but i still wished her to win in a game of powers just because she is such a badass, like in the Orachion Sèis arc. Even after getting hit twice with Azuma's biggest attack she still kept going. If it was any other character i would call bullshit, but in Erza's case i forgive her. And she didn't still get pissed about the Tower of Heaven...maybe later..?

Jellals voice reaching Erza waaat?

Seduction armor...i will gladly watch an entire filler episode if it gets to be shown.

Next episode looks like some of the fights will continue and Ultears mindgame's work on Gray so he lets her go with Zeref.

Holy crap, that fight was awesome. Im trying remember if a fight was this good in terms of animation. The animation, music, execution of it all was probably the best yet. I know im watching this one several times before the next episode. Azuma has turned out to be a pretty cool villain to me and just when it seems like Erza couldn't shine anymore brighter, she pulls this number.

Obviously a 5/5 episode for me.

CAN'T BE A FAIRY TAIL ARC WITHOUT JELLAL, AMIRITE!?

I really do not like this arc, and this episode did not help in the least bit. So much stupid shit from the very start, and the latest on the list is an overly cliche episode long shonen battle. Oh no, I lost (by acting stupid)! Power of friendship, I must succeed! Oh no, I lost AGAIN! Power of friendship, I must succeed! And the saddest part is that there was never a doubt in my mind that it was going to play out exactly like that. Maybe I just need to give up on FT. It's just not the show it used to be.

As long as Jellal is alive we will definitely see him in the future , felt so sorry for him this ep (magic council bastards Dx) Hopefully he dosen't forcefully revert back to his evil self due to all the torture.

Apart from that awesome battle, could have been abit more climactic - abit too obvious with the way Erza won, but nevertheless it was nice fight. ESPECIALLY the OSTs , This is what FT Shines best at!

Fuck that was awesome! Erza has always been one of the best characters, living up to her name 'Titania' love her to bits! This fight gets a 5/5 from me. Jellal is back, those frog people were so cruel, torturing Jellal!

I can't wait for next episode, from Erza to Gray!

Epic ep! way better than it's manga counterpart.
The animation was soooo good, and how they extended the fight made it feel way better.
Azuma was an awesome villain, and the way they animated his fire was amazing, if only natsu's fire looked that cool...!

While the anime did handle it a little better then the manga, that was still the biggest most cliched asspull I've ever seen. Before someone uses the "its just a shonen they all do this" defense, I'd like to point out that not all shonen do this, all bad shonen with uncreative writers do this. Good shonen like One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, and yea even Bleach and Naruto, don't do it on nearly the level Fairy Tail does. And in those even when the hero is horribly beaten and should have lost, they actually win by doing something clever not just using "the power of friendship". (I say usually because they do still fall victim to this, just not nearly as much as Fairy Tail where it happens in the majority of challenging fights. I wasn't expecting anything more from this fight, but I was really hoping that for once Mashima could've exceeded my expectations.

However I will give the anime credit for making it a much better fight then the manga. I was really enjoying it till the end. Very nice animation compared to the usual crap still shots Fairy Tail puts out, but still nothing special compared to other animes.

Oh and bye, Azuma, the only good villain in Fairy Tail.

Fight was nice to watch, enjoyable and still managed to be shit for reasons already described.

Also, what is that thing in the background here (around the 4:58 mark)? http://i.imgur.com/1sZrE.jpg

I can't remember, is that a recurring thing that gets put in the anime?

Fairy Tail has always been the show it was since it started. Mashima started it because he was a person who believed in Good over Evil, second chances in life, friends giving you strength all that etc...etc... you're telling me that your friends don't give you the strength to overcome something. Cause they always do for me. This show does give off good life morals in my opinion. Call it cheesy, but people just say that because they don't take the things seriously enough. Because at this point, this is a kind of show you just can't watch for fun or watch if your just bored. ^^

I haven't been much of a fan of this arc since the beginning, but this was probably the best of episode in this arc yet. I only raised the rating of the show just because of Erza (since I love her).

I think the 7 kin are overrated though.
