I've been trying to be optimistic about the new style, since it does look like the manga. I almost never post on these forums... but I've been looking forward towards the Laxus/Jura fight for a while now... and I gotta say even Zacky San did a better job with some stills and some audio... I just hope they step up their game for the rest.

Looks like team Cheria and Lyon's blasting off again :D

now enough pokemon references that was actually a really good episode i wasn't expecting sting to surrender

my only problem was that Laxus's fight with Jura was to short it made Jura seem really weak

That may have been the greatest episode I have seen! Mainly because I've been expecting the Nakagami armor for some time now. Once she was on the offensive for those few seconds I knew it was coming! Laxus wrecked the #5 ranked member of the 10 wizard saints! Sting thought he could take FT down but that wasn't gonna happen. He lost to their strength, but not the physical kind. They showed heart all 5 of them and Sting couldn't handle it. I honestly think against all 5 he would of lost against them even in their condition that they were in. Also loved the new OP since it is from Back-On one of my favorite bands ever! It sounded familiar and it showed a lot of cool battles coming up. The magic games are over! Now its time for the Eclipse arc to begin! Bring on the dragons!

That was a great Juvia and and Gray moment: "How long are you going to hold my hand?" "Forever!" The reuniting of Lector and Sting was pretty good as well. I'm pumped for the next arc...

BACK-ON is like the japanese version of Linkin Park xD The new opening is so cool. Just like in the manga this was good, looking foward to the dragons.

Well, he clearly overestimating himself all over again...He can't even win go one-on-one against Laxus or Erza yet he wanna fight on all five together.

Well, it's over now so that's that.

Wow, the new OP gave me the chills. Excellent episode but felt a bit rushed during the fight scenes. Kind of understandle as they did drag this arc a bit too long, just wish they would have rushed other parts of the arc and gave us extended fight scenes. But look like shit is about to get real next episode.
Overall 5/5

Nice and intense episode. New OP, ED. The OP was a bit spoiling but for those who haven't read the manga it not that viable. 3 battles 1 episode = rushed IMO. Minerva crying when Sabertooth lost the game aaaa what a pleasant sight. New villain appears in next episode.
P.S. The ED reminds me the one from the Key of the Starry Sky Arc.
A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over?

Good OP and lovable ED. I liked the animation and thanks God, there wasn't too much focus on NaLu this time.

The Gruvia scene was just ughh. At least this ordeal is over. Next is the Gruvia scene when the dragons arrive. Its even more ughh-kind.

I remember this is where I started to ship Miliana x Sting. She saved his cat and so, I thought it would have some progression but nope.

I just want this awesome-turned-into-meh arc to be over and want them to animate those glorious Lucy centered chapters in the current arc. Damn right beautiful. But I gotta wait for like... full year for that (I am sure they will put in some fillers)

I didn't expect rushed fights it's a kind of disappointing but oh well. The true battle has only just began expecting great action scenes in the future lol.
A really unexpected outcome but I read the manga so it's not unexpected at all lol.
Overall it's fine.

Why there is no 6 out of 5 vote ! It deserve more than that ! EPIC EPIC AND EVEN MOAR EPIC episode.

Where to start... From Laxus? Erza's nakagami's armor? Gray and juvia's teamwork? Or The epic last battle of FT vs Sting?...

Anyways This episode is 6 out of 5 !

Wow cool! Fairy Tail win the fight because of nakama power & power of will! That's totally unpredictable!
Erza pulling out Nakagami armor at last second because she's angry that her friend is hurt is badass and totally NOT ass-pull! Even though she can use it right off the bat, but for some reason she chose not to because she's just that badass!
Laxus win against Jura - member of the (supposedly) powerful mages called Ten Wizard Saints - because reasons is awesome as fuck! He should be appointed to become the Ten Wizard himself.
And then Sting. Boy, where do I start here. He has been build up to have this "new power" that supposedly allow him to beat the Fairy Tail mages. And guess what? He surrender! Because apparently, our protagonist team is brimming with radiance that he couldn't face them. That's some twist right there and really worth the build up! :D

Definitely amazing episode to close this arc...

This episode was rushed. This should have been expanded to two episodes.

The Laxus vs Jura & Erza vs Minerva should have been expanded more... :(

The transition of the fights was also messed up...

But the feels were still there so...

The new op is probably my favorite, it gave gave me chills even though I know what happens. Also, it really doesn't spoil anything, it does hint at things though. The only thing it spoils is the "creepy" guy(though we still don't know who he is) and the return of Cobra. People who read the manga need to look at these ops as if they haven't read the manga.

I'm actually kind of glad they went ahead and got through those battles quickly because I really like the next arc and the games arc sort of dragged in the manga.

Edit: Though I don't blame people for being upset that it was rushed.

Just as I thought it started to get dragged out, they conclude 3 battles in one episode. Laxus vs. Jura felt a bit rushed, but it was still good.

Great new OP, although I really started to like the old one.

Please do not post simple posts such as "Liked this episode" "OP is awesome"
Put more thought into it such as a reason why.

All fights felt rushed, what ever happened to having an episode or episodes dedicated to one fight rather than splitting multiple fights into multiple episodes...
waooo
Moree slideshow action too

Spoiler galore in the new OP but it isn't bad, excited for dragons to come and hopefully more fluid animation compared to this slide show one.

At least Lector is back... though surprised they didn't used the slower Fairy Tail theme towards the end. Good job with feels, but improve on the action.
You could have just removed all of the Natsu group filler, all the times our green haired princess reiterates how she will confirm the future (She says it like 2 times an episode for the past 6 episodes) and replace those with extended Jura vs Laxus and Erza vs Minerva.

Liked the episode although the fight between Laxus and Jura was rushed, I mean come on; beating Jura under 5 minutes?!

Erza vs Minerva was done pretty well, the armor looked nice and I liked the determination that FT had at the end.

Fuckin weak.
Sting that was lame.
Fights were disappointing too.
Laxus vs Jura : worst fight ever
Gray & Juvia vs Lyon & Chellia : lame, but a bit funny
Erza vs Minerva : 2nd Origin was cool but the fight was short and lame as others fights
Lol @ NaLu shipping in the previous OP > nothing happened > new OP which is done with the shipping xD

I know choreogrphy of fights isn't strenght of Fairy Tail, but this one shoting of over-hyped superpowerful opponents is just lame. Both Jura and Kagura fights have been extremely dissapointing.

Very disappointed with this. The fights were over far too soon, I expected for Jura to be stronger. Gray and Juvia vs Lyon and Cheria isn't even worth mentioning.
And I wish Sting fought too. But I liked the touching moment with Lector.

Don't know how people can say that this episode had fights/action. All "battles" were literally just a three-second, one-sided curb stomp. Finally the eclipse section of the arc is starting, which is definitely my favorite part of the arc.

I am a big NatLu shipper though I think they are hogging the spotlight, two EDs in a row, if you count the last ED of the original anime, three ED that feature Lucy, give me something new, but this arc is centered is Lucy, it can't be helped.
They're the two main protagonists, of course they're going to be in the spotlight constantly. And even if that was no the case, there is literally only three relevant shippings in this series (NatsuxLucy, ErzaxJellal and GrayxJuvia) and two of them were shown. It's fine.


Couldn't agree more with the first few sentences there, each fight late no more than 3 minutes tbh. Personally, I can kind of understand why sting forfeited, but it made me hate the episode tbh. im classing that as dues ex machina, awful ending

I couldn't put it better myself, I personally feel that, when everything is looked at in more detail, it really isn't as epic as people say it is, it's just bad writing.

Looved the new opening! It seems that a really fun arc awaits us! :)
I feel a little bit sad because they really rushed Laxus's fight but, oh well.
Finally someone beat that snotty little ... Good job Erza! :D

All in all, I thought this was a very heartwarming episode with Feary Tail win, Sting and Lector being united again, just beautiful :3

This is quite possibly one of the most ridiculous episodes of any anime that I have ever had the displeasure of watching in my entire life.

In a word: Rushed

Everything was rushed. Laxus vs Jura could have taken up the while episode on its own. And it made no sense how Laxus just suddenly won, when it looked like Jura was the one who had the upper hand. 5th strongest wizard saint, these nuts.

Erza once again pulls out a plot device armor to win when she should not have even been able to stand. An armor that breaks the laws of magic? Wow that was certainly convenient for the situation. Also, who the hell ever even said the Second Origin could be activated at will like that?

And Lyon and Chelia could have possibly won if they didn't act like idiots. Grey couldn't have possibly had that much power left after he fought with Rufus.

This just goes to show that when you do something sloppy, it comes out like this.

And Sting punking out when he could have won with a single blast as pathetic. And the worst part is, the Power of Friendship should have been working in his favor. And yet he just gives up? There is no excuse for that.
