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 I didn't watch or review the previous episode.

Hey guys, TOM here. So it's been a long 21 days, but Per has finally returned to our ranks. Everyone, give her a warm welcome, because it's time to get this show back on the road. While she was gone, we missed about three episodes of Fairy Tail, but that's fine, because now she's back and we're resuming from the latest release. Grab a wooden giraffe, and a regulation-size basketball, because this one's gonna be a doozie.

Animation: The studios actually seemed to have improved in the fluidity of the animation of this episode; it was good all around, with no off-model. However, Minerva's colouring...as Hana said, "Minerva looks like a Vietnamese hooker. She ruve you rong time."

Effects: The fire-lightning effects produced by Natsu's magic was awesome to look at this episode; and Dobengal's magic was...well, FABULOUS. Though I admit Dobengal's magic wasn't very...ninja-ish, but that could just be me.

Soundtrack: The soundtrack; as we noticed, it sounds like something One Piece should have. So pirate-y. However, One Piece doesn't deserve it DX In all seriousness, every piece fitted together with the respective scene to make a truly stunning image.

Voice acting: As usual, the voice acting was amazing. Natsu's rage was well-expressed by his voice actor (fun fact, Natsu and Jin from BlazBlue have the same seiyū. Now I can't take Natsu seriously because Jin is a batshit insane brother-lover). Other than that, the FT anime keeps on improving in quality—the voice action is NO exception.

Complaints: Well, only one in particular: The animation studio has put Romeo in a sequence where he wasn't originally in again. We're all sick of him—and people who do like him are sub-humans. The fact that he's a completely irrelevant character (you could say that he's filler canon) and adds NOTHING kinda detracts points from this episode.

My favorite scenes:

What do you think of Minerva's anime appearance? Cheap Vietnamese Hooker Seems fine to me. ....no comment.

Score
Fairy Tail usually has some excellent model accuracy and this episode was no better. Normally, they'd get a 9/10...then Minerva showed up. Minerva looked quite horrible this episode, like she woke up with far too much make-up on. It's a sad thing when Haku from Naruto, who is a boy, looks better with lipstick than Minerva, who is a woman, does. The voice acting is always excellent, I like Jiemma's voice actually, and, for all my Minerva complaints, her own seiyū suits her well.9/10. The story progressed rather nicely, and consisted of one and a half chapters, so, I'm quite pleased.7/10 The music....Fairy Tail's soundtrack is just boss, ok? 10/10. Overall, the episode was Very Good.

Fairy Tail is all done for today, but it'll be back next week with Fairy Tail 167 - 101 to 1. It'll be a filler ep, folks. As usual, all of you, give a huge thanks to Per, who does quite a bit of work for these, if it wasn't for her, the episode blogs would be quite bare. Just be happy she's back, folks. Also, we will still be reviewing an additional OVA next week, so, look forward to that! As always I enjoy comments, and I don't mind if you keep it clean.
