THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Basically the episode was about the relationship between Ur, Gray, and Reitei. *hint hint, big plot giveaway*
The impression that I get from the new opening, unfortunately, is that Fairy Tail won't last very long as an anime, but I could be (and probably am (I hope I am)) wrong.

-NEW OP NO JUTSU. It sounds okay. I liked the song of the first a little better but I liked the video for this one more. The ED was much better than the last one. Funny thing is that the song sounds somber but I'm seeing chibi versions of all the characters flying by.

-Looks like they're doing the Naruto thing and showing stuff from much later arcs in the OP.

-Lyon's voice was absolutely perfect. For a second, I thought it was Jun Fukuyama but then I realized the voice wasn't that deep.

-Wow! Actual animation for the attacks...well, for a while anyway. It was good until he brought out the animal ice.

Am I missing something but in the OP and ED...

I think 1st OP is better than 2nd , but 2nd ED is better than 1st OP.
animation for the magics are quite good ^^

Urk, why'd they change the OP already? I was getting used to Snow Fairy. This new OP doesn't pack the punch of the Engrish "Fe-ari where you going?" opening lines.

New ED is a better song though.

This episode was all right, introduction to Lyra, who is just about another one of those useless-for-combat (and pretty much anything) Celestial Spirits.

Fight dragged on though. I know it's shounen, but watching Gray just get his ass handed to him for ten minutes got a bit excruciating to behold. It was like watching Naruto or Bleach all over again.

new op and ed, awww, and i liked the old ones. gray is basically getting pwnd by older apprentice, lyon, who can use ice magic with one hand, and unfortunately gray has to use both.
meanwhile natsu is trapped in an ice ball, and erza took over a pirate crew to take her to the island

The little gurl is Mira's sister. If i'm not wrong, she is dead and the reason is yet to be released. If u recall in a previous episode, Mira was talking to Luxus on the 2nd floor? Mira was an S class mage, tats why she can go up there. But because of some reason related to her sister's death her magic abilities has severely diminished.

seems like they spent a bit of money on the fight animations for once. seriously for a show that cuts corners in animation everywhere you'd think it was all towards the fights but it doesn't. seriously were they given like no money for this show or do they seriously not know how to properly animate a fight scene.

I don't really like the new ED song but heck, at least it doesn't kill the mood like the last one so I'm happy.

I think they progress too fast though, it feels like I'm watching two episodes each week. I'd rather have them drag a little more, no need to rush, we have time...

Ehhh the new OP sucked ass compared to the old one but the new ED is loads better than its older counterpart. The dramatic ends to the episodes won't be ruined by some happy chippy ED anymore! \o/ Judging from the OP though... they intend on keeping it all the way to at least well into the Phantom arc... which is unfortunate. The OP is pretty crap.

At least we're moving along fairly well into the arc. Finally got past the backstory on Gray.

Anybody know who this character is in the ED:

Is it Mirajane? I don't remember them showing a short haired Mirajane in the manga. It better not be some filler character they intend on introducing in some filler arc after this.

Nice episode overal it's the start off a big plot I wanted to see. The new opening and ending just disappointed me a little bit but the opening also showed parts off my fav plot so that just makes me a little bit happy again.

Ehhh, I liked the first OP better. -.- But I like this ED, nice song. :)

Lol at Erza on the boat. Oh, how she can get her way. Natsu stuck in the iceballl was pretty funny, too. Seeing as how he has to waddle all the way back to the village.

Poorest Gray. D: Damn Lyon, beating on my favorite. >.<

I guess they decided to change them after every season which won't continue for so long if this is going to be a long lasting anime..

I really like the new opening & ending. They're much better than the previous imo (though I wish Juvia was actually shown instead of a shadow :<), but it's still too early for new ones. This is only the 12th episode :/

That's the little sister of Mirajane, I think. I don't remember her being that big. I thought she had died... I'm pretty sure this will not be in a filler episode, I hope -__-

Not like I can see into the future or anything but something tells me they'll fill in the shadows once we get to said arc.

Also, the comments above explaiin why Natsu looks so sad in the ED.

This episode was so much crap. I couldn't gave a damn about Gray's lame past. Not funny as usual. The pacing was shit.

It's obvious the dude can't possibly defeat Deliora if he unleashes it so both of them will combine their efforts and save everyone. No, that's not a spoiler, just a brain-dead guess.

Serioulsy the production team has bad taste in music..

The fight scenes are like manga illustrations but it doesnt bother me for some illlogical reason..^^

Next ep will have natsu but wanted to see gray fight more..it was little creppy to see gray cry because hes just too hot to cry *he he*

Atleast lucys dumb powers brings good music ;)

The new OP sounded kinda childish and upbeat...ED was better, fits in the mood of the ep, which was somewhat serious.. I dont think the OP will work well for the next eps but this is me ranting about nothing important ....

BGMs were great this time, gives a good mood...fights scenes were upped for a bit...and comedy was toned down the way Fairy Tail was supposed to be..."Professor Happy's Fairy Tail Lecture" was so random :D

Maybe they'll place
as an episode in between this arc and the Phantom arc. Dont know why they placed her in the OP and ED when she only appeared in one chapter. Maybe a filler arc?

Anyway, it was a good episode :D

Sucky OP. Music is kinda nice, but the art still sucks donkeyballs. Art, because there is no animation. Just images. Even One Piece has better art.
Not to mention that there's too much comedy. Even One Piece has less comedy.

Yeah I'll stop comparing it to One Piece now.

Nice flashback.

Although the ED was a little odd for the emotion in the episode, I rather liked both new OP and ED.

I'm waiting for what Grey said about one-handed Ice Magic to play something of an important role, though moving magic should almost always be able to defeat motionless, unless the motionless is a shield that the user can cast through.

Should it be sad now that twice in a season I've been glad that subs scrolls by to quickly for me to process?
