THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
More storytelling about Mavis' past. Watching Fairy Zero before this the series was definitely worth it for this.

Looks like we got more of Brandish this episode. Those feet LOL

As for Zeref, he and his empire are still up to no good. I'm curious to see how the pacing will be carried for the rest of the season. Spriggan 12 is no joke.

Good episode I guess.

I was expecting there to be a little more to Zeref and Mavis's backstory I guess, I thought Zeref would do something after watching her 'die' the way she did. I was expecting Zeref to do essentially what Precht and try to resurrect Mavis. I don't know, maybe he did since they skipped to the part where he gives Mavis' body back.

If that was really right after her 'death' then I don't think I'm sure why Zeref is after the Fairy Heart. Is he just hoping that Natsu can kill him now or something?
Personally, I was hoping Zeref's invasion and his entire 'Spriggan' ordeal was an outcome of his feelings for Mavis and him failing to save her before or something like that. It would've made the invasion much more personal than just 'I want to die'

I really love how everyone supported Mavis after hearing the whole story. Points for OST again.
Mavis is too pure for the world. :( <3

I wish I could hope it was different this time around since it's the finale but I guess that's how it's gonna be huh? That's kinda disappointing.

Wahey. Brandish foot fetish fan service...
This Secret move of Natsu's seems BS, its probably gonna fail and that Spriggan 12 are going to end up as some underwhelming mini bosses (I guess).

let's see What next week brings; hopefully a new OP and ED since there was a week break... unlikely 'Cause this is potentially long running.
Much like the previous two seasons.

You have 3 studios working on this anime but they don't bother working on the background characters that is so lazy. however the episode it self was pretty good.

That convo between Precht and Zeref was weird.
"Oh, I didn't notice you have been carrying Mavis until you were right in front of me. Wazzup? She's definitely fine, she must be just taking a nap in your arms, right? Woaah, you dropped her, and she's like a corpse. Must be really sleepy. I'm sure it's alright. Definitely."
Did they seriously just put silhouettes of all the guild-members the entire episode? I don't recall any other time when they did this.

More storytelling on Mavis & Zeref, but also on the events after it. The way Zeref dropped Mavis to the floor... eventho she was already "dead", she didn't deserve that.

Gotta say, I have never really liked Precht (Hades), but after seeing Fairy Tail Zero and the last 2 episodes of the final series, I can see why he has gone to the dark side of magic.

A secret in Natsu's right arm... Natsu is Touma in disguise...

God Serena is a god damn weirdo...

Love the hype they are giving to the Spriggan 12 (honorable mention to God Serena, the biggest jobber of the whole manga). Especially while knowing their performance through the arc. Simply wonderful.

Also Wall's design is still as kekworthy as the first time I saw him in the manga.

Have you checked out the rewritten version of Alvarez arc chapters? I will say Mashima did major enhancements to the series. He made the series flow better and a lot of things that were unexplained were explained. -- it's definitely worth a read if you decide to check it out. The fights were better in it as well. And I believe the anime will go into that manga direction of the rewrite so we're going to be in for a surprise. :)

Hopefully none of soon defeated 12 will join Fairy Tail, because then the setup of one person saying something provocative and every other character being shown gasping with an O face will take an entire episode to get through.

According to the amount of blurays posted on the anime's website, it should end in september, so ~51 episodes for the third series.

Some people are mad at Zeref for throwing Mavis to the ground... I thought Zeref did that because of the whole 'the more you value life, the more it dies around you' thing. Like he felt after she went into this half-dead state that he should be really careful not to care about anyone anymore. He has to deliberately hate life so that people, like Precht in that scene, don't die. Curse of Ankhselam must be horrible to have psychologically.

Still feels bad to see Mavis thrown like that.

Cool ep., but some mysterious questions remains that makes us only anime-watchers confused.

1. Fist of all how does her body contain infinite magic? What is the source, where does it come from?
2. If her body is "dead" and she is unconscious, how come is she present in front of her guild mates/or better said her Guild members.

These two questions still remains unanswered. I hope this get explain further in the season. I also want to know Natsu's secret weapon. Must be something really amazing. Maybe something related to that technique Cana used on Tenrou Island arc. Anyways, cool ep. and 6 of the members got introduced. 3 other names were mentioned. That remains 3 member which aren't mentioned.

I hope these one gets a proper introduction and proper fights. Hopefully the two mysterious questions about Mavis also get answered. From people I have heard about this arcs bad reputation. At least I hope we we get the answers we wonder so much about. :D

Well everything is set up and the battle is gonna start. Don't really think Hiro is capable of writing fights with these OP 12 wizards that don't involve victory by friendship, but we'll see. The only hope is Natsu who is supposedly made to kill Zeref, so should probably be stronger than the others if he knew how to use all his power or whatever.

Oh of course they'll win via the power of friendship. At this point, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I expected... more to the backstory, some sort of reaction from Zeref or something. I understand this direction narratively, but I still feel a bit let down. I'm hoping there's more to Zeref's ambition than what's been revealed. He discussed with Acnologia wanting to exterminate both humans and dragons. Is that true, or a ploy? And what of his wish to die? I'm certain there must be some sort of development with his relationship to Mavis, as well... I'm hoping for a true Basilisk style ending for those two.

Mavis and Zeref are two of the best characters in this show.

So, uh, everyone from Alvarez acts within the acceptable range of normal human behavior, then God Serena has his moment and it's just... is it just Ishgar? Is everyone from Ishgar retarded? Is that why the overwhelming majority of Fairy Tail characters are memes? Honestly, just massacre the continent, Zeref.

Either I missed the explanation of the origins of Mavis being able to project herself earlier in the series, or they just opted to just skip over that completely... as they didn't even bring it up in this episode.

In that 30+ years of Precht trying to revive her & somehow just discovering "unlimited magic" in the process (great detail with that explanation too btw...), no mention of her just being able to appear all over the world when she wants, talking to people again, granting people the ability to wield ultimate spells, etc.

Even if they explained it earlier in the series & I forgot, I can't imagine it's a satisfying reason behind it. Suggesting Zeref wants Fairy Heart to kill Acnologia implies he needs it to win, but in that case, wouldn't he just be happy Acnologia could finally kill him? It's all so convoluted...
