THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Overall a nice ep, BUT:

- main theme of the mage council is terrible (make your own music ffs)
- (not connected to the anime itself) Mystogun, is it a new disease or what. Crunchy translators blow.

It was a good episode. Too bad the fight was interrupted by Frog Faced council representative. Siegrain...wonder what is his little past secret that he does not want Erza to share with the council? The fire salamander was good comedy but I am disspointed it was not Natsu himself but Macao. I did laugh at Natsu trying to be Erza...that was really funny. Mystogan looked some sort of Ninja and I wonder also why he does not want his face to be exposed.....is he living some shame he does not want to share with everyone? How can his sleep magic be so powerful....it even worked of Makarov and he is the master of the guild. Laxus...more mystery as ine what are his powers and why he thinks (even might be) the strongest male in Fairy Tail....I though Natsu/Gray were of the strongest. These S class quests...what are the dangerous elements in their quests that makes them deadly? Monsters? Traps? Of the 5 people who are the 2 others that are S class? It was nice to see a blush of Erza when she was with Natsu in the prison cell and why even arrest to show off? Reputation to maintain? They did really good to me for the fight of Natsu and Erza...just wonder what is so special about her boots. Favorite poses of Erza=>

Erza in Fire Empress Armor looks as good as her other armors...and that sword....is it something special too?
In the comedy part Natsu imitating Erza was just hilarious=>
So was Natsu/Happy tempting Lucy with the S Quest=>
I wanted to put this up because this is the second time (first time was Seitokai no Ichizon #10 with Kurimu) that I see a character say Niko....does it mean something special? Or it's just cute to say it?
Next episode sounds exciting but Lucy is so easy to convince when it comes to Gold Gate Keys. So many questions started in this episode for me. Manga readers go ahead spoil me in my profile, don't care just want to know all in advance.

Yea, gave them too much credit. It was even worse translated.

If everyone translated names like this we would have lots of: Jamesu, Georgi and other funny looking abominations.

still downloading...slow internet connection...

It's supposed to be Mistgun but it's translated like that so we cant do anything about it...
anyways, it looks like it follows the manga but i hope they dont cut back on the animations. Natsu's spell circle and the fight animations are getting really annoying... I'm only watching this to see if it follows the epicness of the manga.

Arc time i guess...and it's connected to

I am the translator for TV Tokyo Medianet (which are streamed on Crunchyroll).

Mystogan/Erza/Loke etc... are all name spellings that have been chosen by the original author, Hiro Mashima.

Let me emphasize... They weren't approved by him, those were given to me, by him (a large glossary in fact). I have no choice in terms of name spellings, as those were decided by him as he was writing the original work.

If you've noticed, the language used for writing in the series is English, so Mashima-sensei decided on english spellings for the names when he created the characters.

If you want to complain about the spellings, don't blame me, the translator. Blame the original author.

Thanks for the explanation. Similar situation is with Beat Player Erin where they basically left 'Beast Lords' in romanized form. Strange choicec however you look at it.

Other translations call him Mist Gun.

An alright episode. I think it was treated pretty decently compared to the manga. The next episode is where the insanity begins.

I noticed it was spelled "Elza" in the animation as well. I sent a note to the animation studio asking for a clarification. I suspect it was a mistake on the part of the animators.

It's also possible that they changed their mind about the "official" spelling. It's spelled "Erza" in the original Japanese manga in vol 2, however.

Hm..things are picking up. Although the good part of this episode got interrupted, I still liked it. I hope that we can just jump right into another Arc and skip all the BS.

Plus, the sailormoon transformation is REALLY pissing me off, I hate it. Can't they forget about it for a second!?

Nah, it's definitely Laxus. Despite it being spelled that way in the official translation, I can clearly hear an "-a" sound in his name

Finally, the Galuna arc! My favorite after the Paradise Tower arc.

This will be the first bigger arc. (and Gray fans should be delighted, because this arc will be all about him and his past)

Edit.: Oh, yeah, I almost forgot Laxus's arc. It was great too, with some pretty good plot twists.

So Erza relies on armor, with resistance and stats adapted towards her opponent, to win eh? Now that's lame. True warriors don't need equipment or weapons. They fight naked, as one with nature. I hope Erza's a true warrior.

Natsu dressed up as Erza was hilarious.

OK so my hopes for good quality animation for the action scenes is slim to none. -_-

Overall, very good episode. We get to see more powerful wizards, though I'm curious about the other two wizards in the top 5. Also, Erza's past with the blue-haired guy (forgot his name). And the story is getting interesting! Now we'll get to see what Fairy Tail is all about. XD

I'm kinda hoping they are saving their good fights for the more epic ones. . . But even the small fights should be given at least SOME degree of decency instead of the picture-book syndrome.

I actually enjoyed this episode, maybe cause I was stoned heh, even some of the forced humor wasn't that bad.

I'm getting really annoyed at the introduction that they keep repeating every single episode now ಠ_ಠ
Now I'm getting curious as to who that guy with the tatoo or w/e it is over his eye. ¯\(°_o)/¯ Siegrein? Wth is that name anyway ┐(-。ー')┌
And suddenly, out of nowhere, there's Gray in his underwear ( ¯‿¯)
Mira-chan~ ◕ ◡ ◕
Mahou Shoujo Re-equip ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ And hey.. Flame Empress Armor ( ´・‿-)
WAT? Huge Frog with female voice? ٩(๏_๏)۶
And here I thought I might get a good fight for once, since they didn't seem to be re-using all of Natsu's cutscenes with his firemagic ┐(-。ー')┌
WAT? Arresting mah Erza? ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
And the frog-thingy makes some annoying "geko"-sounds all the time..
Hahah Natsu, way to go ⊂( ゚ヮ゚)⊃
Erza~ ( ¯‿¯)
Gray's realization that it was just a farce was great too ( ̄ー ̄)
Mira-chan! ٩(๏_๏)۶
Mystogan.. Strange guy ಠ_ಠ
Laxus.. he's waaaay to self-centered ┐(-。ー')┌
Also, when they introduced the "S-class Board", how come I instantly thought "Oh great, they're gonna take one of 'em, right?"? ┐(-。ー')┌

We had the hot Black Armor and now we get twintale Erza with fire Armor. The woman is walking fanservice. I wonder what other costumes she has.
BTW the Sailormoon thing is starting to get old.

I have a question: Didn't they say in past episodes that Erza was the most powerful mage in Fairy Tale? Who the fuck are this new guys. Is she or isn't she the strongest?

That blue hair guy from that council brought a new interest to the show along with the dirty secrets he seems to have with Erza.

the first point below in the spoiler section is one I'm a little annoyed by. I'm very, very sick and tired of this anime leaving out things from the manga.
I own and support Fairy Tail Manga from Del Ray as such I use their official translated names.



SPOILERS BEGIN (only about the S Class mages)


someone asked who the other 2 S-class mages are.

Why the the hell they completely left everything out about Gildarts is beyond me as you're supposed to find out about him along with Laxus and Mystogan. Gildarts is confirmed by Laxus and Mystogan as being stronger than them both.

well if you couldn't tellwho the fifth and final person is from Mirajane running down the stairs and telling makarov about the missing post, your clearly not paying attention are you XD

to make it simple - Erza, Laxus, Mystogan, Gildarts and Mirajane are your S-Class mages

I can't agree more, kind of annoyed to how they leave out parts of the manga yet they do put in silly filler things like Macao learning Natsu about his fire during his fight with Erigo. And a already complete filler episode which was 9.

I'm enjoying the series but if it continues like this they're taking a lot away of the epicness that Fairy Tail could've been and it makes me think that this series won't be running long. Gildartz not beeing mentioned seems to only further make me think this.
