THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This is awesome. Just be aware anime only viewers that the OP song has some spoiler scenes. The OP song is awesome with CHASIN as the main theme song imo.

Erza is still awesome too. Her character design looked a little odd but whatever. The characters still looks great. I mean, those eyes :O

This is the direct continuation from Magic Games arc. Still, Sabertooth's master pisses me off.
Best part of the episode imo is when STING blew a hole into that punk. Poor Lector. Natsu is pretty funny to watch too. Looks like they are using the original OST. Nice.

Finally, FT is back! :D

New art, different a little from the last, Dunno how I feel about it yet.

I liked the OP (Even with its spoilers :P)

Poor Kitty. ;_;
That old geezer got what was coming to him. >_<

Finally, the dragon graveyard cave.
Now, they will get some answers..

I say they did pretty well so far, imo.

Oh man, the feeling of watching Fairy Tail again... it's been a while. I was under the impression that it would be a restart and not a continuation though. Either way would've worked for me now that I think about it.

Series feel more colorful overall now (especially with the great animation value) and it probably won't take too long to get used to the new character designs.. except for maybe Wendy's hair color.
Also, that punch on Sabertooth's Guild Master felt so right.

They didn't reveal the mysterious girl either, and I'm still curious about this entire dragon.. mayhem.. aftermath thingy.
But first, the Magic Games of course.

Not a fan of the OP, but I'm all for the ED.
Don't get me wrong though. The OP is pretty catchy.

To be honest the first episode surprised me.
I'm reading the manga and I was worried whether they'll manage to make a good anime out of it... there are big scenes and stuff like that, can't tell much more because of spoiler alert...
But to sum it up, I really liked it...

Awesome episode, what a way to return.

First of all the opening was great. Top notch animation, beautiful animated, the song is catchy. It is more J pop oppose to the usual Fairy Tail openings which are usually more rock oritented. The ending was great, a lot of NatLu shippers are going to love it. This is the first ED to featured two characters, before this every ED focused on just one character or focused on the group. So this is the first one to feature Natsu and Lucy, it was a good song, and top notch animation. I love the keychains of Happy, Charles, and Lily, nice touch.

As for the episode, they added a extra secene at the beginning, to reintroduce use to the Fairy Tail guild, and give some of the voice actors who haven't worked on the show for a year some work.

Everything went smothy with the pacing, and the scene with the Jade Dragon, that looked great.

The Sabertooth is a jerk and got what he deserved, he is all bark and no bite I guess, and this Arcadus person, very specious, is a good guy or a bad guy? We get some clues on the mystery woman, she is not left handed and forced to write with her left hand. When this was going on with the manga, I knew who is was, and I was correct, that is all I am going to say.

Great to have Fairy Tail back, and I can't wait for next week.

Ahh that feeling of getting a readaptation of ur favourite manga, love it. I think it has a better 'thrill' to it loved both OP & ED but the OP isn't as fitting as the ED, liked the ED more.

I actually liked the way Erza looked in this, the new animation looks good.

I'm glad sting punched his master that guy is a major dick.

hmmm I'm not sure if the guy with the afro is a good guy or a bad guy, because previously he kind of seemed like a villain but in this it doesn't seem that way.

btw on a random note I'm really glad Crunchyroll got this, this way I can watch it on my PS4.

It's good to be back! It felt like it continued perfectly from where the old one left off, got me all nostalgic. Anyways, a really good start, satisfied with the animation, voicing and all that, loved the way they just jumped right back into the thick of it and didn't bother with a bunch of annoying recapping. I loved Zirconis, super funny old man. I got a lot of my questions from last season answered, though I still don't know who the girl in the Zeref cape is, I might just be really slow with the uptake XD A little unhappy with all the Nalu, but what are you gonna do, loved Gajeel's new outfit, totally a good look for him, so sad about Lector, happy the old man is dead though, he was a jerk. All in all, I am super excited for next week's episode and for getting back into fairy tail!! ^_^

Given that I didn't watch the PVs, the character designs for Lucy, Wendy, and Erza looked odd to me, but aside from that, I'm so glad this came back :)
That ED, NaLu confirmed?!?
The Sabertooth master absolutely got decimated by Sting...omg..

Its so great to have Fairy Tail back! And we start off strong with Dragons!!!:D I really like the new designs alot and the animation and colors just pop right off the screen! I can't even recall a moment of fanservice in this episode which is good for me because I think it gets in the way of the show sometimes so if they keep it more toned down that would be great. I just have to hear the Dragon Slayer song play during an episode and I will lose my mind!

At first I dislike the art in the PV's but the actual art in the episode feels different to me.

And thus did NaLu fans everywhere scream at the ending song. And the very end of the opening song. And naturally that opening is spoilerific to the max.

Not much to comment on, besides the fact that A-1 continue to do the two chapters an episode pacing quite well.

And a minor mention of the new art and animation, which I generally felt was quite good, except the scene where Sting attacks the Guild Master looked a little awkward in my opinion. But regardless, I didn't really notice that the character designs had changed.

Well helllllllo. Very strong start to the new Fairy Tail season!

The character designs seem a little.. odd, but I'm sure it won't bother me as much as the season progresses. The amount of Natsu x Lucy was kind of crazy (I'm not a huge fan of Lucy.. ever) but I'm sure the shippers will be ecstatic. Additionally, I could have done without the constant self-spoiling in the episode (you can't even call it foreshadowing now) but it definitely will keep me watching until the end.

4.5/5.
PS. Lector. :(

Same Fairy Tail I know, with all its spoilerific openings too.
It's back on the same day too. Fairy Tail Fridays, yay!
Overall, looks refined and they managed to fill this episode up with so much plot, that I actually feel satisfied after the long break.

Well that was worth waiting for... I had to go back and watch episode 175 just to get back up to speed as to where we were, since we have a little timeskipping back and forth in this episode. I could recall that things were going to go down, but that first scene took us right into the middle of it. I'm sure we'll get some semi-flashbacks to show us how Natsu and Lucy ended up in the middle of the apocalypse.

The NaLu ship also seems to finally be on its way, although you could tell that it was building over the last few episodes of season one. In light of all the broad hints that there will be some deaths, I wonder if all the other ships will be safe. And just who is that mystery woman?
Please don't feed the trolls!
