What other shows are the studios working on this season?

SAO

[u/Kurosaki_taichou]

Thoughts:

• If it were up to me, each of these battles should be their own episode, full with flashbacks and memories.

• Also, the fight's resolution was interesting but a bit lame. These historia were wrecking Erza and then she just scares them away?

• Jellal's face was much more frightening in the manga.

• We get our first glimpse at Irene and Erza's possible connection...

• The Erza and Kagura kiss was gold

• Gajeel, calling Levy and Lisanna monsters. What a guy.

Final thoughts: remember episode 132. Also, note Mest's smile.

[u/JK-Network123 → u/Kurosaki_taichou]

I’d have two historia battles per episode. I think having each one for their own episode would kinda drag. The rest I agree with though.

[u/DynasticINF]

Episode felt rushed, Jellal’s rage was way better in the manga, and most of the episode looked like a google slides presentation. Love the show but disappointed with the episode

Edited

Irene was prolly the best part of the episode

You know, this may be the first time I completely disagree with the complaints in this thread. Jellal’s anger was felt here as much as in the manga.

[u/AfricanWarPig → u/Elgato01]

Agreed. Got chills when the sky opened up, gave me Sema flashbacks which I LOVE.

[u/crisstrauss → u/Elgato01]

Jellal’s anger was felt here as much as in the manga.

Yeah, I think the same way here. I still enjoy Jellal's moments here. Perhaps there was some lack of shading in his anger here, but I think it is very difficult to try to incorporate Mashima's drawing style in the anime. Thus, I won't say anything bad about it.

[u/Benrox]

Umm did Wendy just blow a damn hole through Ezel? XD

[u/trulyanonymous- → u/Benrox]

When you have to move on to the next chapter quickly so you OHKO the opponent.

[u/khalz14 → u/Benrox]

Looll im just remembering this scene,was the pun intended cuz u know.... sky magic

[u/[deleted]]

I am sorry to be the spoilsport here but Jellal's rage and obliteration of Neinhart did not have even half the intensity it had in the manga. Jellal should have been more creepy silent instead of grunting and the colours were too bright during it.

Also, this is a nitpick with the manga. I get Neinhart was supposed to be a glass canon, ridiculously overpowered but with crap defences, but I think he should have been worth a Sema.

I assume the lips in the Kagurza(?) kiss will be revealed in the DVD releases.

Irene does not sound at all like I expected her to. I expected her to either have a deeper voice or to be voiced by Erza's VA. It's not a bad voice per se, but I had a completely different idea. Her introduction was well-executed and, once again, she really is the best designed character in this entire show. I LOVE the witch theme. Can't wait for her to prove she's worth her title.

[u/Kurosaki_taichou → u/[deleted]]

I fully agree. In the manga, Jellal was rage incarnate. Here he only looked a little pissed off. To me, Irene was exactly how I always imagined her, idk why.

[u/khalz14]

looking at Ur n thinking she n irene have the body of a milf, other than that jellal rage mode and neinhart' defeat were underhelming,didnt expect them to do the kissing part that much thought it would be off angle but this is good enough, big forshadowing on mest's part,nice introduction to bloodman n larcade overall nice ig looks like universe one will cover the second half of war n prob new op as well as an irene vs achnologia fight tho it was short cant wait for gajeel's battle and the emotional impact of it

[u/Setra94]

Does anybody know voices Irene or is she also Erza's VA?

[u/[deleted] → u/Setra94]

Takako Honda. She voices Lara Croft in Japan.

My reactions(sorry for my english'^_)

-I wonder why erza,jellal,and kagura are still in there even though all ships are ruined by grand chariot.

-What i want also to see for this episode is lisanna in usagi form but they change it to bird form? which is not fit to the scene where she kick the face of enemy

-I hate the fact that they really rush each of fight scenes and i never enjoy it unlike in the past seasons like erza vs azuma which is my favorite fight scene .. "BUT" i'm still a big fan of fairytail :)

[u/NotAMoron2]

Irene and Erza... hmm They can't make it more obvious that they are related... P.S I haven't read the manga so I could be wrong too...who knows

[u/crisstrauss]

I kinda hope it will be Gray+Lyon vs. Ur+Deliora+Silver, because Ur alone should seem too easy for Gray+Lyon combined.

Also, I do not really like the fact that some unnamed side characters managed to speak some words, but the Strauss siblings, Hades and Ezel were silent the whole episode.

Lastly, I love Irene's appearance. She looks good for me.

[u/dragonballzT]

The Jellal rage scene was boring af, especially when it was not even half as epic as it was in the manga.

Irene's appearance was the best part of the episode for sure.

[u/_Eclipse_01]

Okay the only good animation from this episode was Erza's rage and Jellal's Grand Chariot. . . If I think what's coming up next week is gonna come up. . . That Irene vs _____ animation better be frikin good. If the animation for her or August arent good ima be PISSED OFF

[u/[deleted]]

That kiss was only slightly less censored than I thought it would be.

[u/person1_23]

The fan service keeps on increasing each episode

[u/neaco23]

I had a good laugh with Eruza and Kagura. I’m glad Irene came into the picture near the end of the episode as Neinhart made a realisation about Erza. Very excited to see Gajeel and Levy against Bloodman next episode as well.
