THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This episode it felt like it dragged, first half was just the usual action to stop Face again.

The OST used was nice though so I guess that added some excitement.
So Zeref did bring himself to the battlefield this episode. Found it almost amusing at how calm his voice sounded...

Natsu's confrontation with him felt intimidating but didn't really expect anything big to break out. Cute Natsu with his flashback though~

This is most awesome saddest episode in a long time. First of all we see more of the Faces being destroyed, and more of the other guilds, Kagura got a lot of screen time yay. These other guilds the only experience with dragons were the Grand Magic Games when they almost destroyed the world, so seeing them helping is something weird for them.

But the Faces is what took Acnologia down, destroying it make him recover, so now Igneel is in trouble. Acnologia just knows destruction. Natsu vs Gray was going to happen when again something stopped it from happening and this time it is Zeref. He came he took his book, killed Mard Geer and went home. And at the end of the day, Gray still has a problem with him killing Mard Geer, Mard Geer was an awful living creature, I see good riddance.

And than Igneel's death, the feels the feels. You have all those flashbacks, and the last flashback was so adorable, and Ingeel dies, but not before revealing how him and the dragon hid inside the dragon slayers bodies, so they can put some antibodies and they won't become dragons, well I still think it will happen, I can't wait to see Natsu as a dragon. I hope that is a permanent thing, that really gets in the way of NatLu happening.

Next week, the final episode of this arc, more feels. And what happens after that, I don't know, we have no info on what the anime is planning next. Well Fairy Tail Zero be adapted within this anime series or will be a separate series along side this one, we will see.

Jura couldn't destroy any of the faces. Wendy>Jura confirmed!

Looks like one more episode and then the arc is over which is too bad because I've really enjoyed this arc.

The first half of the episode was basically just a skip* since it was all the same as last week.

the last part on the other hand, that was interesting to say the least. Natsu get's and loses his life goal in just 2 episodes time. i liked the last part, but i would have liked the episode aaaaalot more, if it was not just always a half episode recap.

Like for real, the fact that i have to skip to 5-6 min in just to watch something new bothers me alot. this episode was 9-11min....

anyway, great part with igeneel and zeref.

This episode was okay. The death scene could of been done a lot better in my opinion though.

The plot of the anime has always been "the adventures of Natsu of the wizard guild Fairy Tail". Finding Igneel's just been Natsu's personal goal.

Also, R.I.P Mard Geer, nobody except me will care for you, but you were one of the coolest villains from FT, you will be remembered.

It must be very sad to meet your father after a long time and then loose him for good.

It really resembled what happened to Gray.

They'll adapt Fairy Tail Zero, which is a prequel to Fairy Tail, it's about Mavis and how she met the people who will help her found Fairy Tail, it's quite interesting. After that they might add some fillers so that the anime doesn't get caught up with the manga.

Jeez, how many times do they need to show us that the dragons are taking out the towers?

Not sure why they expect me to feel anything from Igneel's so called death. Not like I have any attachment to a character that finally made a appearance after all this time only to die 3 or so episodes after. They even did the typical throw a bunch of random flashbacks to make us try to care more like they did with whats her name.

Hope this arc hurries up, getting a bit tired of this.

Lol at them just letting Zeref walk off, they didn't even try anything.

You're supposed to feel bad for Natsu... well at least that's the way I felt. I mean he wanted for so long to meet again with Igneel, and to see him go like that... really sad.

But there was! When Acnologia first brought down Igneel and began to punch him in the face.

Anyways, stupid end. Igneel was strong enough to bring down Acnologia at the start, and there are four other dragons out there to help him. And Grandine could probably even heal that.

I also don't get the Zeref <-> Acnologia thing. Why don't those two just duke it out? No, somehow puny humans who can't even scratch them are more important then the age old rival, or whatever they are.

Also: While it does seem likely, we don't know exactly if Igneel is really dead. Until one of the dragons confirms it everythings open, and even then they could still lie. I mean, String and Rogue thought they had killed their dragons, and they all hid for14 years.

Well finally the arc has begun to end. It's been such a long time, and I felt that the arc had a very slow plot build up. Wish they could make animations a LOT better, especially the fight between the dragons Igneel and Acnologia. Overall, it was okay, and the last part where Igneel passes away was very sad :(

That was a nice conclusion to the arc, quality and enjoyment wise, the episode was definitely sad. Meeting him after waiting that long just to have him die that quickly is still terrible. Next time is the end of the arc and after that we get FT Zero which I doubt will last that long unless they add stuff to it, either way I hope for ANYTHING that isnt like the shitty eclipse celestial spirits arc.

Meeting Igneel was Nasu's goal, but the protagonist is Lucy and FT's story is the story of her life she is writing.

As for what now? Well a giant evil dragon did just cause what happened, so I guess just like Gray is fixated on END, Nasu will want to take down acnologia.

Wow, Igneel died. NOooooooooooooo, dammit. Poor Natsu when he finally found his father. Oh well, but it were a bit obvious from the opening since both Natsu and Gray shed a tear.And at both of the frames their fathers were shown.

But what's up with this censorship were no blood is seen at all is really unnecessary. It look more like he's paper or something that have been cut. I know it's supposed to be an anime for teenagers, but little blood won't hurt. -.-'

No because until this arc where all of a sudden random zombie dad comes out of the blue, Gray already was settled on the fact that his dad was dead.

Natsu had no reason to believe igneel was dead so he believed he'd find him someday. Key difference. A very key difference that shows how last minute Gray's sudden subplot was. Silver should have been Ultear's dad.

I hate to break it to you, but the manga author has stated in one of the volume afterwords that he created Silver as a character related to Gray - and meant to fight Gray - from the very beginning. So no, it wasn't a last minute plot. It was intended from the start.

Also, I think that believing your dad is dead and suddenly seeing him alive and kicking (seemingly) just to lose him again will probably have some effect on you too.

Then he did a very shitty job introducing him. Sorry but the whole silver plotline was nothing but nonsense and a stop gap measure to give Gray some relevance again since he was becoming as disconnected from the main plot as Erza.

Making silver to be Ultear's dad would have made sense because we actually HEARD thigns about him. Like how he abandoned Ur for being weak. Ultear would have also been a solid motive for him to fight Gray. Since he inadvertently caused her to end up an old lady for the rest of her life. It would have flowed and fit in so much better.

With this there was never really any tension once he revealed himself as Gray's dad. You could tell from a mile away he wasn't fighting to kill for sure. It was forced, sloppy and lazy. All to give him a powerup and a last minute lifeline connection to the main plot via his retarded vendetta against END.
