"No matter what kind of attack you throw at me...I'm gonna...take it! If I lose now....I won't be able to face everyone who got me here! I can't betray everyone's feelings! That's why...there's no way I'm gonna give up!"

Welcome to the Episode Review Corner

Thanks for checking us out for another night. To those new to the blog, welcome, to my continued readership, all I have to say is thanks. We've got a great blog lined up just for you.



Think you can sit through the whole thing? Aaaaaaaand....go!

Last Time, On Fairy Tail Chelia vs Wendy wrapped up and boy was the animation derpy.

Animation: Well, unlike the previous damn episode where everything was a derpfest, this episode was pretty damn spot-on, which I'm happy with. The fluidity of the animation was amazing; just...wow. This was nicely done.

Effects: Juvia's water powers look like something Nicholas Cage would shoot from his fingertips are proof of his godhood—it's that good. Oh, and the animation and effects blended in nicely; and Minerva, though a bitch, had a good special effect for her magic.

Soundtrack: The soundtrack; well...no further words needed. Everything went so well, blending in with each individual scene nicely. Just...the whole naval battle had an expert soundtrack, and Minerva's appearance suited to that music was actually quite threatening.

Voice acting: All-around good voice acting for the whole cast, honestly. Though, Minerva I have to give good props to. She sounded like the psycho bitch that we all love to hate perfectly; and it honestly makes me wish that Erza kills her even worse next chapter. But really, she had a....unique touch.

My favorite scenes:

Now, let's bring up the scoreboard.

Score
The animation was good, with Fairy Tail, it almost always is, but there were a few errors here and there that detract from the score it could have had. 8/10. The voice acting is always great, I loved Minerva's voice. 9/10. The story was rather scary with Minerva's cruelty though it did get us somewhere, and thus, 6/10. The soundtrack. DAT CELTIC JAZZ. It was excellent, 9/10. Overall, it was a Very Good episode.

Fairy Tail is all done for today, but it'll be back next week with....I don't know, all I know is Nichiya appears so Per and I will not be reviewing that episode. I'll watch it and check, but if it's not worth it then, no. As usual, all of you, give a huge thanks to Per, who does most of the of work for these, if it wasn't for her, the episode blogs would be quite bare. Also, we will still be reviewing an additional OVA as soon as we can, so, look forward to that! As always I enjoy comments, and I don't mind if you don't keep it clean.
