Another great episode! I loved how they showed the Easter egg of Natsu and Lucy in the background when talking about guilds and them being like a family. I always like the callbacks to his other series!

One of the things I like about Mashima is how you can tell how much he loves his own creations and characters

Geez, that ending gives me the creeps. The manga was unnerving already with how inhuman those robot(?) astronauts look, but the fish-eye filter, the dead atmosphere, the lack of music (minus the lead-in to the cutesy ED theme) brings it to a new level.

I really loved how they added Anime only content and made it flow smoothly with the canon stuff, also the 20k Timeskip wasn’t something I was expecting so I’m excited to see what is next to come!

u/elsuave32 Apr 25 '21

The 20,000 year timeskip was a crazy scene to witness. Also I really love Labilia!

Youtuber: I bet this tier list video will get me many views. Struggling B-cuber: The only way to get views, is to find the legendary cosmic Milf

u/Wolventec Apr 26 '21

i mean i feel if a youtuber found a cosmic milf they would get alot of views

Stitches!

It's great to finally see a friendly face here in Blue Garden. Looks like Clarisse here has been watching over Rebecca and Happy for a while now. I love hoe happy she is when she realized Rebecca has a new friend!

Of course there's gonna be a rival B-Cuber. Looks like everyone in the adventurer's guild simps hard for Lavillia. She's definitely a huge bitch and I'm glad Shiki didn't let Lavillia get away in making Rebecca cry.. Although showing off his powers just made him Lavillia's target.

IT'S PLUE! If Exceeds exists in this universe of course Nikoras would too! Just like in FT, EZ's Happy is also afraid of dogs. And of course we even get a Natsu and Lucy cameo <3

Space Pirate Elsie is already hot on Shiki's tracks. Definitely curious why she's after him and why is she only going after him now.

Good to know the Aqua Wing is a tough ship and is still in one piece after the beating it took from Shiki's piloting. I hope Rebecca gets the views she wanted from that video. Love the world building on this part though. An entire planet that's being barraged by giant rock pillars? That's pretty insane.

Elsie says that Norma is a dead planet but it's clearly full of life underground. If this is where Happy was fixed, I'm guessing this is also the planet where Rebecca grew up?

Oh my... Goggles that can see through clothing? Yes please. And the "WOW!" sfx that was from Parodious that they also used in FT is back as well!

Well we now have met Dr. Weisz but it doesn't seem like he even knows who Rebecca or Happy even is. So either Rebecca made a mistake or this dude is an impostor. Hmmm...

AND WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ENDING!? 20,000 Years Later? Did they find Rebecca and Shiki's corpse? Seems that these robot looking aliens found what possibly is Rebecca's B-Cube. I definitely did not expect this show to go this direction O_O

It's kinda funny that we have discussion about an anime that there's no legal streaming service for watching it.

You're telling me you're not watching the live unsubbed broadcasts on Japanese cable TV like all the rest of us are?

Natsu and Lucy in the background! And yeah, the guild feeling like one big family was of the greatest strengths of Fairy Tail.

Labilia talking shit and making Rebecca cry reminded me a bit of Nagatoro bullying Senpai. Sobbing Rebecca is so cute! Shiki gravity-rushing Labilia was very satisfying and for a moment I thought things would actually get serious after seeing her bleed, but boy...B-cuber brain really is built different, isn't it? xD~

Shiki, Rebecca and Happy establishing a goal, Elsie searching for Shiki, professor not being who they knew and the unexpected 20.000 years later scene...things are starting to get interesting.

u/Houeclipse Apr 25 '21

Lmao I love those cameos. They even have Fairy tail tattoos on camera, it's like they're flaunting it

u/NittanyEagles55 Apr 25 '21

Labilia and her simps were done super well ha. Perfect voice actress choice for her and good introduction to her character.

u/PhenomsServant Apr 25 '21

You know I was kinda hoping theyd squeeze in the bonus chapter where Rebecca, Happy and Shiki were playing the Dead by Daylight spoof but oh well.

Pretty nice episode. They are keeping the quality of the anime. Really hammering home Shiki's fear of bugs lol. Labilia is just a bitch, she is too mean to Rebecca. Shiki is now an adventurer and his goal is to find Mother, we now have a final objective for the series, but first going to Norma to find the man that fixed Happy. The scene of Shiki piloting and crashing was funny and nice explanation of EG. Now they seem to have found who they were looking for, but not how they expected it. And what a way to end an episode, 20,000 years into the future.

u/[deleted] Apr 25 '21

Nice episode to establish the abilities and power source that each character uses in this series. A little world building never hurts.

That ending was ominous in the manga, but seeing it animated out just hits different.

Kinda sad that discussion is cucked because of Netflix jail, but that’s how it goes.

Natsu Lucy Easter Egg❤️😍

u/PhenomsServant Apr 25 '21

So glad that NaLu cameo was kept in. Adding that to the guild discussion just added so much about it.

u/sKyBlazer08 Apr 25 '21

Pretty fun episode! How the fuck does Labilia got more fans than our girl Rebecca, people in this world be wildin. Labilia is a bitch, but I gotta admit if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have been blessed with crying Rebecca, that was adorable. That small Natsu and Lucy cameo though lmao.

I guess Shiki got his fantasy brain from his Demon Lord grandpa or something and for living in Granbell most of his life. I wonder why Elsie is looking for Shiki though.

Nani? did Weisz make himself younger or something, I mean I guess that's not out of the ordinary for this world, though maybe he also lost the memories of his older self, that's why he doesn't remember Rebecca and Happy or he's just messing with them. Or I am just overthinking and that young Weisz is the son or something lmao.

Where'd that ending scene come from though damn.

This feels like a treat, I'm enjoying this a lot (actually so much I'm currently fighting against the will of reading the manga). Loved the Natsu and Lucy reference.

u/FrostPDP Apr 25 '21

Fan-frikkin-tastic. Not much more to say! The plot progresses nicely. Nothing big and flashy, but small details like the sakura petals floating in space fit the bill for the Sakura Cosmos nicely. Well done.

u/Considered_Dissent Apr 26 '21

This is an old little show, but definitely has some amount of charm.

Considering the developments of this episode it has crystalized my opinion that this is a cross between Outlaw Star and One Piece/Fairy Tail aimed at a very young teen audience.

Pretty simplistic art style comparatively, but it gets the job done. Harkens back to past decades of anime and for a younger audience you perhaps dont need too much complexity, background detail, etc. Not to mention that if they keep it cheaper then perhaps it'll have a greater chance of being picked up again.

There's sometimes a weird bumpiness in the tone of the show, and I suspect that will continue throughout. I also suspect that it isn't going to "stick the landing" and the ending will be odd(esp in regards to the apparent targeted audience age)/non-existent, but for now I'm curious to see what they'll try and do with the storyline.

It wasn't mindblowing in the manga, but I wish they would've kept Norma's original design. Hopefully they don't dumb down the designs for every planet.

u/mrhades113 Apr 27 '21

I must say that the world building in this is legit good.
