Welcome to the Episode Review Corner "YOU MURDERED YOUR OWN PARENTS!?"

- Natsu Dragneel



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 Hello everyone. As you can see, this is an anime review section. This is a little segment that, unlike my well-liked (I assume anyway, pretty sure I'm not being arrogant), I will not be doing as often as the manga reviews, purely because I'm sure not everyone watches the anime like they read the manga, so the readership of a blog like this will naturally be lower. Now, so everyone knows where we are:

Last Time, On Fairy Tail The Fairy Tail Mages got back from the Celestial World. Due to time constraints, they'd lost all of their time. Suddenly, Deus Ex Mach-I mean, Crime Sorcière appears! Conveniently enough for the plot, Ultear (I will call her Ul from now on, saves me time), can open their second origin! Jellal and Erza reunite! They kiss! Ul opens everyone's second origin! Erza kicks Happy into the sky!

That was pretty much last episode, and honestly, Happy had it coming. Also, this is a bit late, but this arc is pretty much where I started watching the Fairy Tail anime. I don't care much for picking up an anime way behind when I'm in the manga and up to date, but this is my favorite arc outside the Tenrou Fiasco, so I've decided why not? Anyway, let's get down to it.

First off, the opening. After "I Wish", but before "Towa no Kizuna", "Break Through" is my favorite opening. I love the song, reminds me of the current Naruto Opening, it shows pretty much everyone's current anime designs immediately, I notice Spidergirl or whatever isn't red and blue. Heh, copyright I guess.

Onto the actual episode, I'm not sure how many chapters one episode consists of, but I'd wager around 1 to 3, feel free to correct me. Unlike the most recent (and as of the moment, last) Bleach arc, Fairy Tail episodes are doing a good job at not straying too far off-model. Good job, Satelight and A-1 Pictures. My only complaint would be this: LOOK AT THAT NECK! WENDY IS LIKE A LITTLE GIRAFFE

Wendy's neck is....long. But otherwise, the animation is rather decent I'd say, I'm not an expert.

The voice acting...honestly, this is my first time experiencing Fairy Tail seiyū's, but, though they take getting used to, they fit I think. Though, Lucy sounds like she should be in her late 20s, not a teenager. Guess it works now, since the entire Tenrou Team is seven years older than they look anyway. Sting and Rogue's seiyū's suit them very well, I'm pleased with the choices.

My favorite scenes this episode would be when Sting and Rogue were confronted by Natsu, and Lucy's "imagine spot" with Wendy.

And they ended it at just the right moment, with Wendy waking up in only God knows where. Excellent suspense. Now, for the scoring:

Score
I really liked this episode. It flowed right for me, it had the right amount of suspense, even though I was pretty much aware of what was going on anyway. The voice actors appeal to me, I like their performances, Juvia most especially. Fairy Tail has an awesome soundtrack, I really don't need to go farther. The rating system is the same as my chapter reviews, I rate this episode as AWESOME.

Poll
What did you think my review? It was great, and you should do more of these. It was good, but it lacked the ease and relaxation of your chapter blogs. Bad Aha. This was bad and you should feel bad.

This blog is all done for today. Depending on the turnout, I may review episodes more often. I'm sorry for the messy turnout, episode reviews are a new thing for me. I hope to see comments!
