Welcome to the Episode Review Corner

Hey guys! To those new to my blogs, welcome. To my continued readership, all I have to say is thanks.



It's time to push the button

Last Time, On Fairy Tail Jellal lost an epic battle because Ul interfered. Bad Ul.

This ep was ok, though not much really happened. It didn't have much action until the end, but even then, it wasn't a fight I cared about. Cana losing her bra though...that made the ep, pity they cut it off a bit more than the manga I think. Anyway, onto the review.

The soundtrack. I keep saying it—and it bears repeating, but Fairy Tail's soundtrack is effing amazing. Everything blended so well together; the times that each musical score started up fitted so perfectly.

The animation: As usual, stellar. For a long-runner, Fairy Tail has quite good animation—nary a trace of derp animation in sight, if I do say so myself. To show you an example of animation that makes you wonder if the anime studio even cared, take a look:

Seriously, what happened, Natsuru? Anyway, moving on.

Effects: The effects in this episode were awesome; especially Ichiya's Perfume. Gotta hand it to the animation team; they seem to get better with every episode.

Voice acting: The voice acting in this episode was pretty good; it seems that Natsu, Gajeel, and Sting's VAs have the 'talking while about to throw up' thing downpat. That and they're capable of a broad range of emotions.

New spells: The addition of new spells for some of the cast is something that I've come to expect from the animation studio; and as always, they keep in theme while still being useful—so not like some Naruto ninjutsu, which are a waste of time.

My Favorite Scenes:

Score
This was an alright episode. The story wasn't too bad, but it wasn't one of the best either. Thankfully, the musical score and animation were top-notch, as I've come to expect of the anime, though there were some derp moments here and there in regards to the model accuracy. The voice acting, as always, was stellar. Overall, I give this episode a rating of Good.

Fairy Tail is all done for today, but it should be back next week with Fairy Tail Episode 162 - Elfman vs Bacchus. Per has now become my permanent assistant for the episode reviews, and thanks Per for helping me!
