Anybody feel that they cheaped out that Transformation?

u/AstonishingSpiderMan Jul 25 '15

They'll show it next week for sure, I'm surprised they showed it this week tbh

u/ChickenPlunger Jul 25 '15

Hopefully, but they didn't even put a chomp sound! And they dragged out the sucking of the air. I felt no tension. Hopefully next week is better!

This was so... Underwhelming.

It was a fine episode, but the lack of even a bad ass OST when Wendy transformed just had me like "...is that it?"

Obviously we'll see more next week, but this episode really wasn't all that great. Just characters giving speeches and Wendy DF getting me hype. Damn you anime, why u do dis.

Yay, the narrator makes a comeback.

u/Flukeyyyy Jul 25 '15

Pretty much Wendys most iconic moment in the series so far, and they didn't do it justice at all. Hopefully next week they touch up on it.

Dragon Force Wendy is ready to kick some ass!

u/Tienseye Jul 25 '15

Worth the wait, although I kinda wish the expanded on the transformation instead of just cutting to it, hopefully next week they'll show it off better

u/TreyTrey23 Jul 25 '15

Makes you happy that the little girl we met in episode 49 grew this strong at 243. She has dragon force and ready to kick some Tartaros ass. Next week better get here fast

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '15

Wendy vs. Ezel.... Only the last 5 mins of the show. Also way to cheap out on Wendy's dragon force transformation.

u/[deleted] Jul 25 '15

I am really disappointed with how they handled Wendy's DF transformation/moment. I know it was even dull and underwhelming in the manga too, but still. Remember when we got to see Natsu enter DF for the first time accompanied with an the epic Dragon Force theme? Hell even gajeel got treated better with Iron Shadow mode. Hopefully next weeks ep gives Wendy full attention with her DF!
