I will accept this if it means we can finally ditch Wendy and Charle, though I know that won't actually happen. At least Lucy actually has a new powerup I guess.

That cover is creepy as gently caress.

Lucy finally getting a sweet power up owns though, except when the eventual uh ram girl fluffy bikini power up rolls in. Ugh. Calling it now.

yeah its not a sweet power up and it doesn't mean anything. like erza's magic, it is an excuse for fetishy outfits. she's still Lucy and this only happened so she can become a cow girl. dude knows what he likes to draw

I like the concept, and I'm glad Lucy taking on Aquarius's power wasn't a one-off thing (okay so technically, it was. Maybe). But so far, yeah, it's just an excuse to put Lucy in new fanservicey clothing. It would've been better if the Regulus Lucy kick wasn't just used for a quick joke in one panel. Mashima should've made it an Inazuma kick shout-out or something.

Leo-mode is fine, but you know future fusions will be more fetishy. Maybe not all of them, but it's gonna happen.

I kinda want to see Sagittarius because that would ether be the funniest or the creepiest.

Anyway, finished the Battle City Battle of Fairy Tail arc and, yeah, that's as good as a point to arbitrarily call an end of season point as Funi could get away with and pretty much follows up on what I've said previously; weaves points in for the next few arcs (I didn't call Mystogan. That said Hiro's getting his money worth out of that character design :haw:) and pays off on a few other points and genuinely ends on a high point for me until I can figure out the least expensive legal way (That doesn't pay Manga anything) to get the rest.

I kinda wish Elza was Out of Action for longer but this is Shonen so that wasn't happening. At least it wasn't the next episode like Jump would have demanded and calling back to her Prosthetic Eye was at least not a compete bullshit way to do it

Erza is barely keeping her head above water on that front now. Lucy's got no chance. Sorry.

As of now all your no fanservice hopes rest of Levey's shoulders. Which is sad for everyone but her.

Nobody is safe from filler: “FAIRY TAIL of the DEAD MEEEEEEEEEN” is going to be released 3/25 for the manga and 3/28 for the anime.

I can only assume that it will be about Zombie Ichiya turning Blue Pegasus into a zombie horde.

Yes. It is most definitely fan service.

e: I really hope that Ichiya is on that filler ep. The title seems like a blatant giveaway. Zombies are bonus points.

As long as it ends like a good zombie anime episode with everyone dead/undead and everything irrevocably screwed sideways with the next episode just moving on without comment (see Samurai Champloo, Panty and Stocking and Space Dandy) it should be amazing, yes.

And, hey, that filler with the body swap magic was pretty drat hilarious and ended on the same note so yeah.

She ended up marrying Grey but quickly regretted it. She's sad because she'd rather be with Lyon, but doesn't believe in divorce.

The story will end with Natsu's fist creating an annulment and everything becoming status quo again.

She's not actually sad, it's just unusually dry where they live and she's working to end the drought.

Also remember how Lucy's mom died the same day the dragon's vanished what ever happened to that

Maybe they have really spicy food there, but it's so delicious she just keeps eating it despite it making her cry/rain. A cold glass of milk and it would all go away, but she's lactose intolerant.

I thought Juvia was the coolest when she was first introduced. I loved her design and hair style and her powers were waaay more diverse. She just doesn't do a whole lot anymore.

Although the way she beat that necromancer demon was metal as hell so I'll give her that. I'm hoping she's gotten a noticeable power up as well.

Pretty sure you're off by a good factor of 3 or so for Lucy. Hell, there's probably a 90% chance the rain will melt her clothes at least once. All those clothes, lost in time, like tears in the rain.

I hope over the time skip Gray went and found the kicking rad hat he jacked off of a guy during the magic tournament and that's what Juvia's upset about

I just hope this isn't emo juvia because of boring flashback scenes which will be analogous to her and grey getting their hair cut and uncut at the end of the last arc
