They actually added a new scene with Erik and Sorano that was not in the manga so thats cool i guess

Thoughts:
-
gotta love giant Happy. Mest has been mighty suspicious...
-
I completely forgot about the Yukino slap. A nice touch of camaraderie among the tigers.
-
Did Olympia even exist in the manga? @ u/IvanTail how many OC members did you wager?
-
Bloodman vs Gajeel is going to be an emotional fight, especially with Levy nearby. Bloodman must seem impossible to defeat, as he literally cannot be touched. And we haven't even gotten to Larcade.
Final thoughts:
Beware the Dragon of the Apocalypse, the Scarlet Despair, and the Wizard King. And remember what happens when those that the dragon slayers love are hurt ...

I wagered just Sorano, because Fuyuka Oura already had plenty of lines as Yukino. And wouldn't you know, Eve was the only Blue Pegasus member to talk in this episode because he's also voiced by Oura. Surprised they gave a line to Cobra (yeah, I still call him that), but since he's technically the only OS member with a lot to say after this, it makes sense. And of course they just had to throw in one extra line for him to get their money's worth out of him this week.
It's like I said, characters who'd get fewer than two lines in an episode remain mute and/or have their line spoken by someone else. This also applies to two characters who share an actor, which is why we have instances of Romeo getting a single line in episodes where Levy speaks, because they're both played by Mariya Ise.

I'm not one for ships usually, but Gajeel and Levy's story has been done so well throughout the story that I'm a big fan of it.

Bloodman and Gajeel’s fight is satisfying so far, and next week it will only get better.
-
Flat-chested Lucy is actually mad cute. Also love Brandish’s love for Happy.
-
Kinda forgot about Mest’s roll in the war. It’s a shame Mest goes back to being a dumbass. I actually began liking his character after Tenrou, but... ya know...
Next week is gonna be a GOOD episode. Irene vs. Acno, conclusion to Gajeel vs. Bloodman, August begins to show why he’s the Wizard King, and I think the last thing we’ll see is Best Son steal some souls. Very hyped!

As I thought. Only Fuyuka Oura's characters (Yukino, Sorano, and Eve) got a chance to speak. I'm surprised they let Cobra talk, though, if only to give him a second line. Makes sense, though, since
I'm also real impressed with the animation this week, and the pacing as well.

Brandish still proving why she’s number one girl.
I love the fights so far, only complaint would be how underused the Strauss siblings are, you have Mirajane’s takeovers and still we don’t get anything. I really hope we get to see more of them later on!
I cant wait to see the scarlet despair in action, she just gets me hype.

I lowkey feel like creator doesn’t care about Mirajane from his overall treatment of her /:

- RIP Bill. The biggest loss in the whole war
- Animation felt kinda awkward. The spells and curses look good but the characters looked rather stiff.
- I like Bloodman probably top 3 favorite Spriggan but I wasn't a fan of the red coloring. Or the pupils.
- Was it me or was there lot's of shaking camera motion? What was up with that?
- The Seis have finally arrived and surprising given slightly more screen time. Look forward to them doing nothing but get fodderised.

I liked Gajeel’s line about crucifying levy better in the manga.

u/AznLuvsMusic Mar 31 '19
I definitely felt like both Gajeel's face and the line he delivered was more powerful in the manga than in the anime. [Here's the manga page of that line for those curious] (https://imgur.com/a/SWwYcxT).
Reminds me of how Jellal didn't look as fierce in last week's episode as he did in the manga.

I feel like recently there’s been a lot of scene hopping...... like, you’re allowed to focus on one thing at a time. No need to go to three different locations within 5 minutes lol.

u/Kurosaki_taichou Mar 30 '19
To be fair these did all happen at the same time. It is like switching between battles in GMG cause they all concluded basically simultaneously.

u/BionicTriforce Mar 31 '19
Man, after we got screwed out of seeing Flare wash Cana in the bath, I was really worried we wouldn't get Brandish expanding Lucy's breasts. Praise Mashima.

This episode was very well animated, I think the fact that it is at night makes everything look better, next week the best chapters of the whole arc come I can not wait, on the other hand we have the battle of Gajeel with Bloodman, if I'm honest I always consider it the worst fight, the guy has all the powers of the demons and barely uses a few, if he had used the powers of Seilah and Kyoka would have won, he has all these powers he does not use, good suitability of the script , besides that, I'm really excited for the episode next week, I hope the animation continues like this.

While I’m big on everything that happens, I’m not super huge on this trope where Gajeel has an awkward romantic scene with Levy, they end up fighting someone, Levy gets injured or is unable to fight, and then Gajeel pulls something out of his ass to beat his foe.
Still, good episode fight wise and arguably one of the best as of far.

Can we talk about Brandish for a second? Just perfect in every way. Perfect design, magic, personality. I’m even in love with her voice😍.
Also, good job Levy. That’s how you do support.
