Asuka sure made good use of the promise Natsu made with her. She's pretty smart for a kid!

Horse-Natsu and his neighing.. That sound he made was LOL! XD


Aquarius getting mad at watching a wedding proposal scene was hilarious! Her little blushing after being complemented by Asuka was cute though. :3

Even a kid like Asuka ships NaLu! It didn't even faze Natsu one bit that he was about to kiss Lucy. XD
Happy X Natsu's kiss was priceless! Poor Happy was probably saving it for Sharuru..

Erza's regret over not being able to taste the Maximum Sweet Strawberry was pretty funny too. Why didn't she pick up more than one?

Nice seeing the little backstory behind that Lacrima. Bisca and Alzack are such nice parents. :3

Decent episode overall. Looking forward to Juvia filler next week.

But this was from an extra chapter from the manga... So it technically IS canon... Shot out of a cannon... And so will the next three episodes... (Well, maybe not the one the week after next, because that'll be anime-original.)

This was a great episode of a great omake, feature the most cutest character in Fairy Tail in my opinion Asuka. She is so adorable one of the most adorable characters I have seen since Elicia Hughes and Nina Tucker from Fullmetal Alchemist, I am sure there are others I just can't think of off the top of my head.

Anyway Natsu baby sitting Asuka, that is an adorable combo, and we see a glimpse of the future perhaps and see what kind of father Natsu would be, and if this is any indication the pink haired girl I mentioned last week, well she is going to have Natsu wrapped around her finger.

We do we have other sub plots added to pad out the episode, like Erza and Pantherlily hunt for strawberries, for Lily must have been nostalgic being bossed around by Erza, though speaking of Lily, one of my complaints of this series, not much of Asuka and Lily's interaction outside of the wedding contest filler, there have been no follow up on their relationship, I mean when they first meet, there was a shuttle hint they were going to be close friends, but what ever, we also have Wendy trying to make a cake and we don't much of that.

Anyway back to the main plot, Lucy joins in on Natsu baby sitting and the four of them take Asuka out on her first jobs, including one that involves Aquarius and looks like Lucy is so going to get it later on, but Aquarius does have a soft side, even Aquarius can't reset the cuteness power of Asuka.

Turns out it is all so Asuka can be a Lacrama snow globe for her parents, and Lucy's reaction is my thoughts exactly, Asuka is so sweet, and that is what makes Asuka so cute and awesome, there are a lot of little girl characters that look cute but they are brats and that loses cuteness point in my book, it is just as important to be kind and sweet than it is to look cute, that is a mistake a lot of animes make with these types of characters, that is why I love like Asuka and Elicia from FMA.

But some mean pirates steal the Lacrama, and those guys suck, stealing from a little girl, I am glad Natsu kicked their butts. Those guys are lower than dirt, sorry I can get riled up when you mess with Asuka. Anyway the day is saved.

Plus Natsu and Happy kissed, I wonder that ship is called?

Seeing all four of them together, that is a preview of the future of what a NatLu could look like, there is fan art of this, but perhaps some day Asuka can repay the favor and baby sit Natsu and Lucy kids. Look up Asuka fan art and you will see it.

Turns out the Lacrama was giving way by Alzack and Bisca to save Asuka's life, that whole flashback and than seeing them all smile, it was so emotionally, this has to be one of the best episodes of Fairy Tail in a while.

Just like I thought, new animation for the ED, but featured a character that has nothing to do with the story, but they want to do fan service and god knows you can't do it with Asuka. Yeah they might do that with Wendy, but even these people have standards.

Next week features Juvia, this will be awesome as well. I am so glad all of these omakes are getting adapted.

Pretty good episode. I'm really starting to believe that the manga was actually better though.
I mean,this animation....its just really been bugging me. I mean,it looks horrid. And the worst part is like their eyes and hair. Natsu's hair is drawn so poorly...and Erza's eyes are lopsided and uneven...please...please...

GET A GOOD BUDGET FOR THE TARTARUS ARC!!!

This new animation has moments where it'll just look superb. Like eye candy or something! HIGH QUALITY. But in other times(which is most of the time) it's just plain sloppy. I hope all of these fillers are giving them time to raise their budget or something,so that when it becomes canon once again,the artwork will at least look decent than just outright atrocious. I'll really be angry if they make the Tartarus Arc suck with their horrible animating skills. Cause it's my favorite arc.
Anyways,can't wait for the 413 days with Gray and Juvia. It looks like it'll be really funny and romantic. The preview looked like it had parts with high quality animation so I'm placing my hopes on that.

PLEASE,I HOPE THEY DONT MAKE THE MANGA VERSION OF THIS BETTER THAN THE ANIME!!!

At least I know not to watch FT until April now, thanks for the update. :D

Aiko_Hiroshi said:


For the last fucking time, this isn't filler. You people are seriously getting on my nerves. These are canon omake chapters being adapted in the anime. CANON.

Juvia-filled episode next week. Magic Number: 413?

antonnn said:

Yeah I read other posts, I know it isn't filler, but it doesn't add to the story. I read the extra chapter, I don't care to see it adapted. Calm down, far out lol..

Asuka is like the FT fandom and Happy is like Hiro Mashima.

FT Fandom: Natsu and Lucy kiss pls
Hiro Mashima: haha no

RayAdha said:
Tartaros Arc pleaseee, I'm getting tired of waiting

CookingPriest said:


Tartaros is in April.

With this episode we are back to canon material.

Next three episodes are side-chapters like this, then one filler episode then Sun Village Arc through March.

Aiko_Hiroshi said:


You're forgetting about the 4 episodes adapting the second Fairy Tail light novel. Pretty sure those will take place in March and the Sun Village arc starts in April (it's counted as part of the Tartarus arc).

CookingPriest said:


Not a filler. This was in the manga.

Tyrel said:
I don't read extra chapters. Therefore, extra chapters to me = filler. Idgaf about them. If it's in the manga as an extra chapter, then woohoo for them.

Aiko_Hiroshi said:


I just don't understand this condescending attitude you all are taking towards Omake chapters being adapted. It was a fantastic episode for the most part, did great character developing. You guys are only trying to call it a filler so you have an excuse to bash it. Well its part of the original manga, and its canon, so even if you don't like it you may as well critique it fairly.
