User blog:LastationLover5000/Fairy Tail 325 - In Which I Almost Didn't Review Because Lazy (Unity)

Welcome to the Chapter Review Corner

Neptune: Hello peeps! Welcome to Nepstation! Our segment was really popular when we reviewed Naruto and Bleach, and that TOM guy is still on a break! So, these are Nepstation's presenters, Neptune and... Plutia: Plutia! So...um...what are we doing this time? Neptune: Uh...Fairy Tail! This week's chapter of Fairy Tail is ours to review! Plutia: Oh, alright...but, should we do it? We didn't have a complete acceptance when we did the other two reviews... Neptune: No worries, my bed-headed friend! With me, the mascot here, the ratings for this review will be sky-high. Histoire: Come on you two, the broadcast has started. (ーー;)

Fairy Tail 325 - Unity!!!


This chapter was a confusing one. I wasn't sure what to think by the end of it all, and I'm not used to that with Fairy Tail. Neptune: That kinda punch has to smart.

Lucy runs with Loke while Natsu continues to fend off Rogue, who decides that since Natsu will die in the future anyway, time won't mind if he kills him off now.

Neptune: I'M CALLING IT, THIS ROGUE IS FAKE AND LYING!! Plutia: -jumps in surprise- W-what? Why? Neptune: Natsu never loses! He's got that main character syndrome bad!

As expected, Natsu fends off Rogue's attacks, making the (very bold) claim that they'll protect the future their own way, before we cut to Mira actually finding Yukino, who seems to be wallowing in self-pity. I'm confused with this sudden behaviour, did she do this before and I missed it?

Plutia: Hehehe... Neptune: What's wrong, Plutie? Feel bad for Yukino? Plutia: Oh, no. I was just thinking, when she cries, her face is super cute, and...and...if she would cry even harder, it'd be even cuter! Neptune:....

Even during all this, Hiro doesn't squelch on the story arcs, as the princess begins to open the gates to charge Eclipse Canon. During all of this, the soldiers are evacuating citizens from the city. Arcadios notices Fairy Tail hiding, and has them come out, to which the Princess apologises for her behaviour earlier. Lucy explains Future!Lucy is dead, and also says she has no intention of closing the gates, but...Hiro is messing with us, I'll explain why in a few. And the king is even preparing for the wo-! Neptune:...Um.....I think they have the wrong guy.

I nearly forgot the king was a midget. Notice how he totally ruins the entire seriousness iof the setting just by being there? He's appealing to all the available guilds for help, to fight off these 10,000 dragons, in case any survive the Eclipse Canon, which, apparently breaks about 30 laws...which I don't get why that even matters right now if it's going to save your lives.

...am I the only one seeing something wrong with his eyes?

And Jellal has a request....that we don't find out this chapter. Back to actual fight going on, Natsu says Rogue "reeks of evil". Okay, didn't know Dragon Slayer noses worked like the Nine Tailed Chakra Mode, but....gonna go with it. And as the Gates Open, we cut to Lucy standing there, looking dead at them...and this is why I think Hiro is messing with us. Lucy is showing doubt with the opening of the gates, she's standing right next to them, and not just that, now the revelation that Rogue reeks of evil, I actually think if she closed them, something good might happen. But...that's for the week after next.

Neptune: Alright, now we're gonna score this thing!

Score
Fairy Tail has awesome art, it never does to deliver, but there were a few moments of the characters being off-model, like the Jellal image I showed, and thu, that detracts from what would normally be around a 10/10 and makes it a 9/10. The story, 8/10. We're finally getting somewhere and I like where it's heading, it's just a pity we're being jerked around so much. The fight, for what was there, is only worth a 3/10. Overall, this was a very good chapter.

Neptune: Y'know, Plutie...I get the feeling I was the only one with long lines here. Plutia: You're imagining things... Neptune: Am I? Well, okay. Anyway! If we're a hit, we'll be presenting the manga reviews more often from this point on!



Poll
Should the Nepstation do reviews more often? Yes! It was a very entertaining diversion from TOM, and it wouldn't be bad once in awhile. No. TOM keeps it simpler, and it's less distracting. I don't care either way.
