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

Hi everyone! This time, I'm making another statement. Mavis is sexy. Let that be heard! As is Wendy, naturally, but, to save myself Wendy images, since she doesn't have as many as I'd like, MAVIS will be my mascot for today.



Works out fine because she's just as loli.

Last Time, On Fairy Tail

Wendy has a magic draining disease. Totally not Magic AIDS. The teams arrive on the field. Fairy Tail has TWO teams, with Jellal cosplaying as Mystogan on Team B. The first event begins. Shit gets real.

Now...this episode was not bad. For two chapters, it was an episode comprised of chapters full of action, and therefore, my time was actually not wasted when I watched this thing. My only complaint, before I start the main review, was when Rufus was called "the strongest mage in Fiore, bar none", which, if I remember, wasn't in the actual manga. So...way to go anime, take the most broken char so far and then promote him to stronger than his own Guild Master. Lovely.

Let's start with the animation, which was excellent; the characters are solidly animated; and the colours are spot-on, if a bit bright—Nullpulding is painful as ever to look at. Every little movement is rather humanlike, and the effects for the town manifesting was glorious.

The music played in the action scenes was stunning and really conveyed the mood well. This is why Per always downloads the soundtracks for Fairy Tail. They're some of the best of the big shounen anime out there, and for those who don't believe me; watch this episode.

And heck, even for newer characters, their seiyū's were spot-on, especially Flare. Damn, she sounds sexy. Though, honestly, the best thing about this episode?

More Mavis.

And the stuff that they actually did add in—more humour and some fights, was actually quite supurb. The anime studios actually know their stuff, amazingly.

My favorite scene:

And now for a poll that I know Zico's answer to.

Poll
Should there be more Mavis fanservice? YES! NO! I'm torn between yes and no because people think lolis are bad.

For the third answer, it was gonna be "I'm torn between yes and no because people think that lolis are bad and I must conform to such idiotic notions" BUT I restrained myself...and yet still put it here. Logic.

Score
I like the episode. It had Mavis, it progressed through the fights at a decent pace and the soundtrack and voice acting were excellent. Way to go, anime studio whose name I need to stop forgetting.

Fairy Tail is all done for today, but it should be back next week with Fairy Tail Episode 159 - Lucy vs. Flare. Per has now become my permanent assistant for the episode reviews, and thanks Per for helping me!
