Mavis is way too cute. It's illegal how adorable she is <3

Loved the way she just REKT Yuri saying :u called me a teenager when ur a teenager too so u lost" was EPIC

"Ur a bird-" "INCORRECT" LOL XD

And the blinking thing was genius.

Nice to see them establishing how intelligent she is and how she can use her smarts right away.

Yuri's reaction to Zera was interesting to say the least :P

I loved this episode. The game between Mavis and Yuri was so funny xD
I'm mad now that I haven't finished reading the manga because I've heard tons of spoilers about Zera.......

I was hoping there would an explanation on what those things over Mavis's ears are and where she got them from, lol. As for the actual episode, Zera sums it up perfectly:

Man, Yuri was like a lamb Mavis led to the slaughter. He didn't even have a chance.

An okay episode, not amazing, but they're already off the island so at least it's going along at a decent pace.

I wish Mavis hadn't mentioned Fairy Tail was founded 95 days later. Keep it in spoiler tags, Mavis!

I wonder how Yuri will make good on his promise to let Mavis meet a fairy. Didn't he talk about it while under the truth spell? And if not knowing the answer is lying, he must know where to find a fairy..unless of course, establishing Fairy Tail and making all members "fairies" counts..

Regarding Zera: I'd think that they did not reveal her age there in the beginning when they just did so moments ago with Mavis is a huge hint..

Yuri, Precht and Warren YAY.

Mavis was awesome and that was an intense game

Now they are off to find the Tenrou Jade. Whoa 95 days Fairy Tail is born OMG

Does the person die if they don't do what they promise?
Hmm was Zera invisible to everyone but Mavis? Yuri didn't acknowledge her at all?

Very nice, it was actually great to see the little game animated. Next time looks like a filler of some kind but it’s obvious they would do something like this because of how short FT Zero was.

And what was Mavis and Zera doing for 7 years without knowing the jade was stolen?

Hold up Yuri. Zera's only 13. You two are teenagers, but just in case, get her consent first playa...because the law and all :D

Oh man, this episode was just so gosh darn cute. I can tell I'm really going to love this arc. Mavis's character is so adorable yet mischievous. I'm excited to see the misadventures she's going to go on in the next few episodes.

The "game" in this episode was great xD

Okay, we all know that this is much better than the main show (even though that has some of my most favorite characters) Mavis is a much, much more interesting MC than Natsu could even dream to be.

Ye, move those books, Mavis. They are so color that it's painful.

Oh, I was thinking about the teenager bit, too. Good thing Mavis pointed it out. Also, the anime makes me like Yuri x Mavis, wth. I didn't feel this way during the manga.

Hira mashima is lke the plagiarizer of the anime community, thats what im on about. I always pick up on obvious comparisons to other shonen series through his writing and work.

Example? Shanks = Gildarts

A similar backhand friendship sign, so obvious this was pulled from one piece. The latest episode with the whole "quiz game" thing, an obvious inspiration from hxh. The whole Dark/light contrast that will evideibly become a core part of the story between Natsu and Grey. Just like Naruto with sasuke/naruto. Though i am not sure how far Mashima is going to take it.

The grand magic games, with a tournament announcer, obvious inspiration from dragon ball and there is many more to. I just can't think of them all off the top of my head. Well its ok to be inspired by others work, but i don't think its ok to copy someone's work and call it your own, like the whole friendship sign and the shanks looking like Gildarts, i think that was stepping over the line just a bit.

Let me guess: Zera isn't real/she's dead and Mavis is imaging her because she feels lonely ? It got obvious after we saw the blonde guy's reaction when Mavis was introducing her to him.

You're kidding, right? The only thing I'll give you is the Shanks = gildarts (as in, their character design). I'm not big on One Piece lore or whatever, so other than their similar looks I don't know in what other way they'd be familiar.

With the "quiz game" are you by any chance talking about that episode in the awful filler arc? Because that isn't even part of the official storyline, lol.
Dark vs Light is actually a very common theme and not at all unique to Naruto. I don't know what you're on, but Natsu & Gray is absolutely nothing like Naruto & Sasuke. The only similarity there is is that they're both good friends (that is, if you can even consider Naruto & Sasuke as friends after all that happened between them).

Tournaments aren't unique to Dragon Ball either, and are a common trope in a lot of battle shounen series (lol, Naruto had one too). And at the very least, Fairy Tail spices it up with interesting competitions that are more than just 1 on 1 battles.

Like I said, I'll give you Shanks = Gildarts, but I've yet to see any other convincing argument that Fairy Tail is nothing but a rip-off of other popular shounen series. Besides, Fairy Tail is still better than One Piece, so it doesn't matter. :)

Well i see your argument and i wouldn't use those actual words per-say and maybe i was a bit harsh in my original comment. But its certain things that i have picked up on well watching Fairy tail that are just more then inspirational idea's from other series. I realize alot of shonen mangaka's always get there inspiration from other authors as well so i realize certain things are major trends in the shonen genre such as tournament battles the whole "anti hero" set up, etc.

But there are certain things that i saw in the series that were so unique to a particular anime and to see it again in some other form in fairy tail. Kind of makes you open your eyes a little. Like the obvious Gildards = shanks. I mean come on, sure the characters look identical and thats bad enough but did they have to introduce the whole "Missing arm" and the exact same right arm as well like in one piece. That kind of screams "copyright infringement" But i have noticed other things like the Friendship pose was extremely similar to the one in one piece as well. There are other ones i picked up on from naruto and bleach to, but i have to track them down. I forget which ones they were.

No the part i am taking as a reference to hxh, was in one of the most previous episode's in the Fairy tail zero arc.

My view on the Shanks = Gildarts bit is, yes, there are many similarities... too many even perhaps? But there are still differences. The way Gildarts lost his arm is so different than the way Shanks lost his, you can't really compare it. I'd like to think that Mashima actually really likes One Piece and that this is his way of showing that, in the form of a character that resembles one from the series he likes or admires, but still make him have his differences. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I won't ever know unless there's some interview in which he addresses the subject somewhere.
The friendship pose is also similar to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann's famous Kamina pose. Then again, pointing your finger up like that isn't exactly unique in any way, so I don't read too much into it. Besides, there was a backstory behind the pose in Fairy Tail, showing how and why it was first used. That's original enough for me. (unless One Piece had a similar backstory? Like I said, I haven't seen that much of One Piece to know)

For the last part about Fairy Tail taking from HxH I don't know which scene from Fairy Tail Zero you're referring to. I haven't watched HxH yet (I should get to that some time, especially with Fairy Tail ended for now).

Zera's shyness is adorable. :3

Seems Mavis looks like a loli because... she is a loli. I wonder if she dies in this arc, thus retaining her 13 year old appearance eternally?

I must say that two episodes in this arc has been utterly engrossing so far and I love just about everything about it! Could it be this is the real best Fairy Tail arc? It's quite a nice change to see a completely fresh cast of new characters driving this, grounded by one familiar face. And Mavis is an incredibly likable, well-rounded character so far.

Watching the Yuri/MAvis mind games, with that first ost, to me, feels out fo place. Purely because it reminds me heavily of the soundtrack of The Simpsons' Hit and Run video game.
