----------------------------------------
Nice fight this episode between the Celestial Spirit King and Mard Geer. Camera angles and OST worked well. In story plot wise, it looks like the two used to know each other.

Mard Geer's abilities are quite fearsome as well and the Spirit King struggled quite a bit. I find it most interesting that Mard Geer is calm as hell during the fight. Still felt bad for Lucy after she lost Aquarius though.

And silly Jackal, did he honestly think that taking a cheap attack would work :o
Good seeing Lucy getting the power to perform her Urano Metria.

My god the animation quality was godly this episode. Mard Geer of courses lives up to the hype anime-wise and his battle with the Celestial Spirit King was incredible. Lucy's Urano Metria looked even better than the original Fairy Tail anime's version of it, and much better than when it appeared in the Celestial Spirit Rebellion Arc. Looks like A-1 was saving its budget for the last acts of the Tartarus Arc, which I have no problem with.

What a great episode, the battle of the kings did not disappoint. I say this I thought Mard Geer was going to win, he is the main villain of the arc at least until END shows up, and the Celestial Spirit King is not the main character, but he beat him, way to go Celestial Spirit King. Looks like Mard Geer won't be bothering us for a while.

And Jackal got what he deserved, trying to take a cheep shot on Lucy, and Lucy discovered a new power Star Dress and using the power of Aquarius, she beat Jackal and good riddance, say hi to Zancrow in the after life, maybe they will become friends.

Lucy did her part, and the others are back and ready to take over from here, I love that Natsu gave Lucy credit and said thank you, that is a big moment.

Anyway we got the other fights, and yes Gray is fighting Silver, that is a fight I am looking forward to, perhaps we will find out more about Silver.

Next episode, Wendy has a big moment, plus Erza and Minerva will hopefully settle things once and for all. I do hope the anime can improve on certain backstories and flashback, which I thought was weak in the manga, so do your thing anime and give me the emotion.

Wow, did A-1 use half of there budget of tartarus arc in this episode or what?
and here i though jellal vs os and df wendy had good adaptions, but this just tops everything in this arc as well as gmg arc
the movements were so fluid and the animation was great too
Well Done A-1

That blush. I ship it now Minerva x Erza!!!!!!!!!!

This episode was go awesome and exciting. Lucy and the Celestial Spirit King's battles were so well animated. So sad for Lucy but the fact that Aquarius left her something behind gave Lucy the strength to fight and defeat Jackal. Don't know if it was good or bad that they quoted the "anime filler" arc as canon. Also was really poetically fitting that it was Gajeel that saved her first since before he hurt Lucy and now he's protecting her from harm. We got out match ups, now lets sit back and enjoy the show.

Gajeel vs Torafuzar
Juvia vs Keyes
Gray vs Silver
Natsu vs Tempester

It was beautiful. Maybe people will stop complaining about the new art now, one can dream.

This was my favorite part of the Tartaros arc Lucy's Urano Metria and the Celestial Spirit King fighting Mard, Meteor Blade and Galaxia Blade.

So like I thought the bare bones of the Eclipsed Spirits arc is canon, well at least/hopeful the general concept is. The spirits were corrupted by the Eclipse gate and the group with the aid of Yukino, Arcadios and Princess Hisui E. Fiore, battled them until they regained their senses and return to normal.

Amazing episode. Lucy finally the MVP for once and her performing the Urano Metria by herself was glorious. The fight between CSK and MG had very nice animation.

Also at the end when everyone was jumping in to save one another that was hype. Can't wait for the upcoming fights.

Looks like Juvia is stepping up her game as well since she'll be fighting alongside of Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel. Good job Lucy! You were ultimately responsible for taking out both Mard Geer and Jackal as well as saving the rest of Fairy Tail, plus you can share the credit for destroying Plutogrim since you summoned the Celestial Spirit King. I wonder if the water tatoo is permanent?

Let that sink in - Lucy's tragic sacrifice of Aquarius, which led to summoning of Spirit King is the sole reason on why :
- Plutogrim was destroyed
- Mard Greer was sealed.
- Alegria curse was broken on the rest of the guild.
- Lucy, with the last farewell gift from Aquarius, could stand up up and destroy an opponent even Nasu had trouble with(Jackal) in single hit.

Lucy sacrificing Aquarius turned around the balance of this battle and this arc. Whatever these characters could do now and will do now - its all because of her.

Another great episode, the animation and art were spectacular!

The budget sure has been upped for these last few episodes, hopefully the same would be done for some of the later episodes.

Lucy was awesome these past two episodes, she sure does deserve that rest.

This episode was so BRILLIANT! I just can't stop watching it! Lucy was incredible, I have to admit, I didn't expect her to get this epic! Aquarius, really going to miss her, she was one of the coolest celestial spirits, though all of them are SO lovable! I'm dying, CSK is quite the badass too, and the ending couldn't get better. Loved how Juvia was so defensive about her friends, I don't know how I'll survive the next week.

This episode made me love anime again.

I really wonder when we will see Aquarius again, I don't believe the Fairy Tail story would kill of any of its Fairy Tail members. Like when Gray was killed.

Well say what you want about the Eclipse Celestial Spirit arc, I don't hate it as much as most people, I just found it disappointing and missed some opportunities, but yeah the last two episode it is helping improving this arc, first of all the manga never said Lucy didn't have any other friends besides Aquarius as a kid, which I thought added a lot, and the CK commenting on his past sins, was awesome. Not to mention it made Minerva return in the Sun Village arc more grand and impact full, because in the manga it seemed she was for like 5 minutes, but in the anime it does feel like a much longer time.

Honestly if what you need to make EPIC episodes (such as the recent two "73-74", as well as wendy dragonforce, jellal & OS mini-arcs) like this is to take a little break and save some budget then by all means, take another break so my expectations on the next arc

won't disappoint!!!

I've had this series on-hold for about 2 months, and I recently decided to hop back on that Tartarus hype train and catch up. I gotta say, it's been on point. Lucy's been given the time to really shine as an MC, which is great. She needed it.

I don't know why but I kinda thought it was sweet when the Celestial Spirit King mentioned Lucy and the other Fairy Tail members as his "old friend".


From all the episodes that concentrated on Lucy, this one and the previous one were obviously the best.

Amazing! Lucy finally proved herself.
It appears, as is the way of the causality of life, that many of my former companions – at least, those humans with which I shared at least somewhat meaningful bonds – have moved on to other realms, protected by such charms and spells that make me incapable of pushing past those boundaries to follow them.

This episode was amazing, Lucy just went up to a whole new level for me. Definitely 10/10 for the episode.

I'm also very much looking forward Gray and Silver's fight and to find out what the deal is with the two, what that light is that Hades told Makarov to release and what's going to happen with END.

Since I haven't been reading the manga I've got no clue about the story, but oh man I'm very much looking forward to what's about to come.
