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

Lucy fought Flare. She lost because Obra is a cheating prick.

Now this was a good episode. Well done anime studio, well done anime studio. Like the previous ep, it was fighting filled, and consisted of two decent fighting chapters. There was no filler references, no annoying Romeo, all in all, a sound anime episode I could enjoy, despite being averse to reviewing this today because i was lazy. Now, let me and Per get STARTED.

Animation. The animation in this episode was perfect; not a thing to complain about. Everything moved so fluidly in this episode; I think that the animation studio seems to get a little better with every episode produced.

Soundtrack. As usual, the soundtrack of FT was awesome. Everything pieced in quite nicely; the only problem I had was with Orga's singing…shit hurt Per's ears. Me? I skipped that shit.

Voice acting. Naturally, the voice acting was stellar (pun intended in the case of Jellal's seiyū). Even Orga's normal voice was pretty cool and portrayed perfectly that he's a badass.

Effects: The effects in this episode were just phenomenal. Jellal's magic namely was really awesome, but how every other magic was executed, no more needs to be said; but it ties into the animation oh so well.

Mavis. While she was less prominent this episode, this little cutaway gag where she said she needed to go to the ladies' room was hysterical. Just how do ghosts go to the bathroom, anyway?

Either way, the tension of the episode near the end was just perfect. It made me feel a shiver run down my spine, honestly.

My favorite scenes:

Poll
Should Ul have interfered with Jellal's match? Yes, such signature magic would have blown his cover. No, he might have gotten away without revealing himself despite pulling off such signature magic.

Score
I liked this episode. It was just shy of perfect because the model accuracy isn't dead-on, but enough to get a 9/10. The voice acting is always good, I'm giving it a 10/10 because of Jellal's laughter and whatnot, which his seiyū had to pull off successfully. These episodes took us straight through two action packed chapters, so I think the story deserves 10/10. The soundtrack, do we need to really compliment it, it's always great. 9/10. Overall, an Excellent episode.

Fairy Tail is all done for today, but it should be back next week with Fairy Tail Episode 161 - Chariot. Per has now become my permanent assistant for the episode reviews, and thanks Per for helping me!
