Fairy Tail 2nd Series

Let’s Look: Fairy Tail 2nd Series Episode 61:Are You Sure We Can’t Kill the Old Guy

I knew the little guy was a bastard from the manga but it just feels so much more real in the anime

We start off with a long recap of everything up until that point and then we get into the action.

It starts with Jackal just blowing up a lot of the town just because he could. But Natsu isn’t having that right now so Natsu goes in and starts wailing on Jackal

That’s all good but Jackal has a little ability that makes it a little bad to touch him.

vlcsnap-2015-06-07-10h11m01s967 vlcsnap-2015-06-07-10h11m12s732 vlcsnap-2015-06-07-10h11m17s086

And then Natsu goes boom.

vlcsnap-2015-06-07-10h11m50s349

And while this is happening Michello is scared that Tartarus might be after Face and he runs away.

Jackal gets into a fight with Lucy and Wendy but his Explosion Curse is just too good for defense and blocks all of their attacks.

With Natsu down, Wendy stays to heal him while Lucy goes into the town to stop Jackal and save Michello.

Then we switch over to Michello and he’s demanding help from the villagers because he was protecting them as a council member.

Then Jackal shows up and Michello says all he wanted to do was live in peace with his granddaughter…which he left behind for said mad bomber to potentially blow up.

vlcsnap-2015-06-07-10h18m13s306

Even Jackal admits that’s a low move and he’s a demon.

Real loving grandfather right there…

So Lucy catches up but she’s quickly put into a curse mark by Jackal.

vlcsnap-2015-06-07-10h19m11s947

And Jackal picks up Michello along with a pregnant woman and says basically choose who lives and who dies.

vlcsnap-2015-06-07-10h19m57s165

Now I read Fairy Tail on Mangastream which has a comments section after each chapter and I clearly remember all the hate for Lucy after this chapter. She should have chosen someone rather than just freeze up right there.

She’s torn right now. She’s thinking about her responsibility to her job and the world by figuring out what Tartarus is up to for that she needs to save Michello. But she’s also a human being and Lucy wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if she let a pregnant woman die.

Then again most of those comments for Michello to die came from this…

I’d let his butt die too.

Luckily Lucy doesn’t have to make that decision since Natsu, healed up by Wendy, shows up and teaches Jackal lesson to the face.

vlcsnap-2015-06-07-10h22m43s225

And his little explosion when you touch him trick is nullified since Natsu managed to eat it.

vlcsnap-2015-06-07-10h26m54s873

And with that the episode ends there. We’ve got ourselves a good turn out. I’m loving the Tartarus arc but I can’t wait until we get to Mirajane and Erza. Those two were always meant to fight together.

But that’s for later.

So until the next episode,
Later Days

Let’s Look: Fairy Tail 2nd Series Episode 60: And Boom Goes the Dynamite…Again

(Inner Writer: You missed a lot of Fairy Tail reviews. What were you doing?!

Deven: Fairy Tail reviews? Why this is the first I have heard of this? Did something happen?

Inner Writer: You know exactly what happened? You-

Deven knocks out the Inner Writer and looks directly at the readers.

Deven: What Fairy Tail Reviews? Then you all say “I have no idea what you’re talking about Deven.” And we all move on. Got it? Alright. Let’s start.)

So ignoring that little thing, I’m back to regular with my reviews. Sorry for the lapse. Finals are hell. So after the events of the Sun Village arc, all you need to know is that Sun Village is saved.

Side Note: You kinda expected it with the Song of the Fairies episode but I’m still shocked that they changed it. For those that didn’t know or didn’t read the manga, most of the chapter was done in a hot spring. It was very fanservicey and even Mashima himself said that he went too far. Remember that time where Natsu accidentally beat Erza to the ground. It was the same in the manga save Erza was naked. Naked hot girl with her butt up in the air like that equals very large implications.

But anyway…And that the Nine Demon Gates have been introduced.

They are as follows:

Silver the Absolute Zero

vlcsnap-2015-05-31-20h38m21s338

Kyoka, Goddess of the Slave Planet

vlcsnap-2015-05-31-20h48m29s407

Evil Utaha-senpai!!! I always knew it was wise to be on Team Kato and now I have full proof. She turned evil! The joke is that Utaha and Kyoka both have Ai Kayano as their seiyuu.

Also I have some annoyances with how they translated her title. The Mangastream translated it as “Slave Star Angel” which I like a lot more than “Goddess of the Slave Planet”

Her voice is still as sexy as nothing I can imagine.

Franmalth, the Armored.

vlcsnap-2015-05-31-21h01m59s441

Good voice and it fits. His title is similar to the Mangastream one which was the Armored Shell.

Torafuzar, the Dark

vlcsnap-2015-05-31-21h02m15s459

Excellently done voice and the title is pretty much the same. He went from being the Darkness to the Dark. Not much of a change.

Ezel, the Dojigiri

vlcsnap-2015-05-31-21h02m32s625

I’m kinda happy that they didn’t translate it because it would be a major spoiler for the arc. But the Mangastream translation was Child Slicer…and the only major character who’s a child in this manga is Wendy. Fight confirmed!

Seilah, the Goddess of the Chill Moon

vlcsnap-2015-05-31-21h02m52s025

Nooo! I will not accept this as the official translation! It’s Sayla and that’s what I’m going to say in my reviews! Also another beautiful voice. Aki Toyosaki, your voice is like gold! Also I can’t wait for that scene…ah Ai Kayano and Aki Toyosaki…I can’t wait for the implications of it.

Finally Keyes, the Black Archbishop.

vlcsnap-2015-05-31-21h03m16s675

I can deal with the title change from Black Priest to Black Archbishop. The voice…ahahahah oh god it hurts. The comedy in this is too much. He’s voiced by Joji Nakata or Kirei Kotomine.

So Kotomine went from being an evil priest…to an evil demon priest…I see this more as a lateral move not much of a change.

We also have Jackal but that’s for later.

Now you’re caught up. Let’s get up to this week’s episode.

The battle between Laxus and Tempesta of the Nine Demon Gates starts and…it’s over really quick.

Maybe this arc is going to be easy, said by no one that read the manga.

However Tempesta’s got some tricks up his sleeves…he has no sleeves…he’s got tricks up something darn it!

Tempesta turns into anti-Ethernano particles which are an absolute poison to wizards. It leaves Yajima, Evergreen, Freed, Bickslow, and even Laxus on the ground coughing and nearly dead. All while Tempesta gets go to back to HQ.

So in order to save the townspeople Laxus uses his Dragon Slayer lungs to breath in the poison. He orders Freed to bring everyone back to Fairy Tail.

We get the rundown of the situation and we learn that even though Laxus put everything into saving everyone the number of people affected by the Anti-Ethernano Particles is still rising. 119 are confirmed dead.

And with so many member of Fairy Tail down Natsu says only one thing.

vlcsnap-2015-06-01-02h09m19s17

Sounded much cooler the first time he did it back in the Phantom Lord Arc but now it seems too overused to me.

So after the commercial everyone and their granny is trying to stop Natsu from running off and trying to find Tartarus. Mostly because they have no idea where they are.

Then we move to the Tartarus guild hall where we see Tempesta getting healed but we also see this.

vlcsnap-2015-06-01-02h12m01s76

She’s becoming a demon! Do you really want to beat Erza that bad?

So after we get back from Tartarus we see that Loke’s back and he’s got info. The best plan for right now seeing as the Council members, present and past are being attack is to guard them. Luckily Loke’s got some addresses of former members.

vlcsnap-2015-06-01-02h20m45s205

We all know what he was doing. Council members with hot daughters or granddaughters with Loke!

Loke tried to stop being a player but it just doesn’t take for very long.

So we head over to Michello’s house where Lucy, Natsu, Wendy, Happy, and Carla are protecting him. And we see his granddaughter who is quite cute.

vlcsnap-2015-06-01-02h21m51s82

Good man Loke. Leave no female unflirted with.

vlcsnap-2015-06-01-02h21m55s152

She has to admit that my man is a legend.

So Natsu smells something off and tells everyone to get down only to find Jackal here, ready to kill Michello.

vlcsnap-2015-06-01-02h23m18s187

Good ending but I wish they used the Mangastream line. “It’s time to start putting Tartarus in body bags.” So epically cool but this one works too.

So that’s all we’ve got with this review. I can’t wait for the epicness that is Natsu vs. Jackal.

So until then,

Let’s Look: Fairy Tail 2nd Series Episode 51: Absolute Nightmare: Feel Free to Scream

Deven: Okay let’s do this! Tartarus Arc starts next week!

Deven watches Episode 51

Aaaaaaah

Takes a breath

Aaaaaaah

Okay I’ve got my hot tea with lemon, cough drops, and some hot water with salt.

Why? Because you will be screaming all through this episode.

We see Ichiya of Blue Pegasus spill his new perfume into the sewers of Magnolia.

And it does this to the population of Magnolia.

Aaaaah Aaah!!! Those bastards changed changed Princess Hisui! Evil! They must be stopped!

My mind hurts! But this isn’t the true pain!

My soul is hurting right now…Mirajane, Erza, Levy…

Knock Hiro Mashima for anything else but one thing he got right was the ladies of Fairy Tail are attractive. Don’t take away their beauty!

So while everyone’s getting infected by pure darkness Lucy, Natsu, and Happy manage to get away into the sewers. However Gajeel and Lily find them.

Snapshot_15

We’re the ones that are suffering. So Lucy and the group run away but apparently Gajeel and Lily can’t smell Lucy probably because of this.

Snapshot_8

Erza does bunny suit better. So Natsu and Happy hide inside Lucy’s bunny suit and that goes as expected.

Snapshot_17

Of course the suit rips and they run out of the sewers and meet up with Wendy and Carla who tell them that Natsu has the secret to save everyone from this evil.

Then Natsu remembers that Erza gave him an odor removing lacrima to which goes back to the guild to steal it back even while Laxus is trying to kill him. They all return to normal with Natsu’s help.

And with that the episode’s over.

Strangely I liked it. I laughed, I cried, I screamed. I screamed a lot.

But let’s get serious. Next up is the return to the canon material! The beginning of the Sun Village arc! The beginning of the Tartarus Sage!

But that’s for next week. And to celebrate I’m going to have the episode in 1080p! I’m so hyped!

But until next episode,

Let’s Look: Fairy Tail 2nd Series Episode 50: One More Episode…

Just one more episode to suffer through, then back to the good stuff. If you’re an anime only viewer, you’re in for some good stuff. If you read the manga, you know the epicness that I’m talking about…

So we start with Laxus and and the Raijin-Shuu are taking a job to the village of Borwatt. They’ve got a problem. What? What is that problem?

Snapshot_2

Ah I see why they wanted Laxus specifically. After all you send a Lightning Dragon Slayer to deal with lightning right.

Anyway Laxus uses Lightning Dragon’s Roar and disperses the thunderclouds. It works but it’s only going to be a temporary solution.

So with the lightning and the clouds gone for a moment, the townsfolk come out and thank them. All the girls get all hot and bothered by Laxus. That’s him. Making girls swoone in their sleep.

After that the mayor takes them up to the mayoral mansion and his entire self changes. He explains that it’s Laxus’s fault that the town is like this. Turns out that before the Grand Magic Games, Laxus passed through the town, got into a fight, and released a massive amount of electricity.

Poor fools didn’t even have a chance…

Anyway being the good guy that he is, Laxus goes to solve the problem that he created. However something seems up with that mayor and Evergreen thinks so too.

Snapshot_9

They go back into the village where the thunderclouds have come back and now there are some strange lightning creatures on the ground. They don’t stand much of a chance against Laxus or any of them really.

Laxus and Freed see that there’s a massive amount of electricity coming from undergroud. They check out the sewer system and find a ball of Laxus’s electricity under there. Laxus absorbs again and they find a lacrima that was storing it there.

Snapshot_10

Turns out that the mayor did all of this on purpose to try and extort money out of Fairy Tail. Nice try man. With all the damages they’ve got they can barely pay the rent some months.

Anyway Laxus goes over to the mayor’s mansion to kick his butt then his grandkid comes out and Laxus sees that he can protect something and leaves.

And the episode ends with the group heading home without any payment.

Just one more episode….please let this next one be quick!

Check out this end card

Snapshot_11

Kinda disappointed. I wanted it to be Evergreen but Yukino’s good too. She’s easily the sexy member of Sabertooth. It’s kinda hard not to be since she’s the only female member…you’ll see what I mean in the Sun Village arc.

So until the next episode which I will no doubt suffer through,
Later Days

You can ask me as many questions as you want on Ask.fm and you can follow me on Twitter to know when my new reviews are coming out. You’ll know when stuff comes out right when it does! 🙂

Let’s Look: Fairy Tail 2nd Series Episode 49: Let’s Go! Move along! Nothing to See here

Fairy Tail 2nd Series Episode 49: Let’s Go! Move along! Nothing to See here

The reason for this title is simple. I checked the wiki. Episode 227 or Episode 52 is called the ‘The Morning of a New Adventure’ which is the same as Chapter 341 of the Fairy Tail manga which starts off the Sun Village Arc, the introduction arc to the Tartarus Arc.

So come on and let’s get this over with! I got some Tartarus arc I want to see!

So when everyone heads out on the island, everything seems cool right?

 

Snapshot_1

Wrong! It can’t be Fairy Tail without something going wrong.

Our team tries to fight it but they get owned. The way you see them lose her makes you forget that these are the two most powerful guilds in all of Fiore…

Anyway during the battle, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Kemokemo get trapped underground in some type of ruins.

Snapshot_2

And while that’s happening a virus seems to spread all over the island and around to the boats where the Magic Council sitting on standby…more like sitting where it’s safe.

Lahar gives the order to sink the island…you guys and your hair trigger decisions…

Snapshot_5

Also I can’t help but notice when the sea serpent was attacking, Doranbolt only grabbed Wendy and Carla.

Snapshot_3

Doranbolt put the loli down! We all know what your tastes are…

fairy-tail-207-3

Does that look like the face of a man that doesn’t like to feast on the innocence of young girls?

Anyway while everyone else is either dying from the virus or trying feast on the innocence of a loli(looking at you Doranbolt!), Lucy is translating the ruins.

Snapshot_4

While she’s doing that Kemokemo keeps getting bigger and bigger. Soon he bursts out of the ruins.

Snapshot_6

Someone was eating his Wheaties…

Anyway Kemokemo and Natsu fight the sea serpent while Lucy explains that Kemokemo is the guardian of the island. It turns out that he makes a gas from his body that neutralizes the virus so everyone turns out fine.

Kemokemo beats the sea serpent and with his job done, he returns back to the island. Not before giving Natsu a seed to remember him by.

The last scene of the episode is Natsu and Happy leaving for a job while the seed that Kemokemo left them starts to sprout.

Snapshot_7

Normally I’m not a Millianna fan but when you put her like this…you just got to love her.

So we only have two more episodes before the Tartarus saga begins. I’m excited personally and the date also has some significance. On the date that the Tartarus saga begins will be the 1 year anniversary of the Fairy Tail anime’s return. It’s fitting that it starts this way.

So until the next episode,

Let’s Look: Fairy Tail 2nd Series Episode 48: This Is How You Get Kicked Out, Fairy Tail Style

Now how did you guys get kicked out of not one, not to two, but all of the guilds you were supposed to be working with? That’s S-Class talent.

Okay so we start off with Natsu, Lucy, and Happy fighting this alligator thing. Too bad it walks on two legs. Sometimes I wonder…

Snapshot_1

They manage to beat him and get the scales but then this happens.

Snapshot_2

So thinking it’s something like Happy’s egg, Natsu keeps it warm for the next week. Then Erza, Lucy, and Gray notice that Natsu hasn’t been seen for a week.

Snapshot_3

Reminds me of when my aunt first had her baby. Poor unfortunate souls…

So the little guy’s name is Kemokemo and he’s got energy.

So the next day we get some news from the Council. The six best guilds from the Grand Magic Games are going to be doing an exchange program so some of the members can learn some new skills. Looks like Natsu, Lucy, Erza, and Gray have been chosen.

The guilds they go to are Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, and Quatro Cerberus.. and they get kicked out of all them.

Natsu gets them kicked of Blue Pegasus for shoving Kemokemo in people’s faces. They destroy the stone tablets they’re supposed to be translating.

Then Gray and Natsu get them kicked out of Mermaid Heel mostly because of their pride. Then again few people want to get dress as girls.

Same thing in Quatro Cerberus. Before they can blow up Sabertooth however the whole thing’s called off? I wonder why…

But seriously a new island has apppeared off the coast and Fairy Tail and Sabertooth have been called by the Council to investigate and it looks like Kemokemo is related to it in some way.

Snapshot_17

And that’s where the episode ends.

Not a bad episode or a good one either. You know I am thinking. It’s a little over two weeks or so until April and that’s when the Tarturus Arc starts. So let’s get this over with. It’s like traffic school something you have to do to get something.

So I can’t wait for the Tarturus arc so until then,

Fairy Tail 2nd Series Episode 46: Knew They Couldn’t Hold On

Alright! Let’s go into this episode and see what A-1 can give us this week!

Deven watches the episode.

I knew it couldn’t last…

So kind of a bad episode. Not very good stuff.

The idea is simple. Lucy, Natsu and Happy have to get this ice called Hakobe Ice from the top of the freezing Mt. Hakobe near Magnolia.

I don’t know if it’s near or not but the way they talk about it’s like it’s a day trip away.

Anyway after taking shelter in a nearby cave they find out that cave changes shape so it’s impossible to get out.

After walking around for hours upon days, three to be precise, the three of them pass out and start hallucinating. Natsu’s eating, Happy’s eating fish, and Lucy’s taking a hot bath. Except all they’re doing is eating ice and jumping into a ice cold water naked. Funny.

So they manage to get their wits about them and find the ice but they have to fight some type of ice octopus thing. But since they’ve got no energy Natsu’s got to eat the ice to beat the thing. Then they’ve got to do the entire thing again. Ah being Lucy is suffering.

And that’s the end of the episode. Not really all that good. It’s too simple and didn’t really have a lot that was worth looking at.

Snapshot_11

I’m hoping that the next episode has something intersting in it. Please don’t kill my hopes, A-1.

Until the next review,

Let’s Look:Fairy Tail Episode 45: Ah Mai Nakahara and Juvia’s Cuteness

Normally Mai Nakahara isn’t my favorite Seiyuu. She’s one of my favorites but compared to some of my other favorites like Miyuki Sawashiro, Sayaka Oohara, Minori Chihara. However when she plays Juvia when she’s serious, it’s just beautiful

So we start off the episode with Juvia getting dressed for the day and as she leaves we see some stuff…

Ummm it isn’t that a little too much. Back in the first OVA ‘Welcome to Fairy Hills’ Juvia’s room was a bit more normal and she only had one Gray plushie.

Anyway after the opening Juvia sees Erza, Wendy, and Carla in the hallway where she announces today is the 413th annivesary of the day that she met Gray. Wow that’s oddly specific. Is it because they met on April 13th? Nope!

I like that idealogy. It works for Juvia too because she was so alone before being a member of Fairy Tail. It makes sense that she would want to treasure every day.

Granted the way she explains it looks creepy.

So Erza gets caught up in the excitement that Juvia’s got and suggests that Juvia get a present for Gray. Juvia’s all for it but doesn’t know what to get so she asks the girls that live in Fairy Hills. Apparently Cana lives there too.

I think we should send Cana to Alcoholics Anonymous. Anyway all the other girls don’t really have anything Juvia thinks that Gray would want so she goes to the guild for some advice…

Elfman that doesn’t even make sense…at all…not one bit…seriously

Anyway it’s not until Mirajane says to make something homemade do we get somewhere.

Juvia decides to make a cake…and well that fails…

See.

They should add that to her rent. So when Lucy and Wendy see that she blew up the kitchen they suggest that she make a scarf…

Snapshot_19

After that Juvia goes to the guild, expecting to see Gray, but what she sees is this.

YES! GaLe!

But tragically it’s only Juvia’s hallunications and they explain that Gray hasn’t been around the guild.

So Juvia goes around the city and finds Lyon and he’s looking for Gray too. But unfortunately she leaves before he explains what’s up with Gray today.

Anyway once Gray and Juvia meet up, he ignores her and that makes her sad…

Erza talks to her as she sits around the city. Then Juvia explains that today was the anniversary of Ur’s death so it’s expected that Gray isn’t going to be the best on that day.

That’s true and it turns out when Gray is walking he flashes back to a time with Ur and he goes back to get Juvia’s scarf and wears it to the guild the next day.

Juvia’s happy and gives him a body pillow for their 414th anniversary.

Dude if you don’t want that then can I have that? I love some Juvia and I can take it off your hands.

So that’s the end of the episode 44. I really love Juvia and she’s always been my favorite female character other than Mirajane and Erza.

It looks like the next episode is going to be something new. Kinda like a small two episode filler episode. I can’t wait to see what’s up with that.

I have to say that I love A-1 for these ending pics. The girls look so sexy.

So until the next episode,
Later Days

Fairy Tail 2nd Series Episode 44: Freedom from Filler!

Deven walks through the legendary Fairy Tail filler desert.

Deven: How long has been since I seen a Fairy Tail episode that A-1 Studios didn’t make up? It feels like forever.

Inner Writer: There’s no hope. Maybe canon material was only a dream?

Deven looks up and sees an oasis called Canon Material

Deven: It’s impossible? It exist? Finally!

The filler’s over! Thanks Anime gods!

Now some old business. Some of you want to say that I haven’t done any reviews on the fillers. Not to be all the way snarky and sarcastic but here’s the review.

Natsu beat Ophiuchus, Fairy Tail went the Celestial Spirit Realm, they beat the Celestial Beast, and saved the world. There we go. The filler gets -0 of 10. That’s right I can’t even give a real number it sucked so bad. The Eclisped Celestial Spirit designs are awesome though.

So now that old business is taken care off let’s get to the good stuff!

So the episode starts off with Bisca and Alzack, Asuka’s parents, going out on a job and leaving her with Natsu….

I love Natsu as character but I’d rather give my daughter to Happy for babysitting.

So the first thing after her parents leave, Asuka asks for some cake but Mirajane says that they’re out.

Snapshot_1

No! Don’t say anything about sweets! If you do…

Snapshot_2

That’s Erza for you, say sweets and she’ll lose that cool and sexyness aura she’s got. Erza suggest that they get some legendary Maximum Sweet Strawberries which only grow one every 10,000 years.

Side Note: Erza Scarlet is voiced by Sayaka Oohara who has a Proficiency in the English language. That’s why her English actually sounds like English. I’ve listened to songs three or four times and realized that the singer was saying a word in English and not saying something in Japanese.

Anyway Erza and Lily go to get the strawberries while Wendy makes the cake.

Then Natsu and Asuka have a sharpshooting contest and…Natsu loses.

What do you expect when her mother has Requip: The Gunner and her dad uses Guns magic. She was born to shoot like those kids with parents in the NGA.

Anyway after Asuka rides Natsu around like a horse, they go out into the park and after she makes Natsu jump in the pond, she says that she wants to go on a job.

Why? Because she can buy something but when Lucy says that they should try and ask her parents she puts on the waterworks.

Snapshot_5

Aww she’s so cute.

So the first job they try is for someone to stand in for the statue in a fountain. So of course Lucy calls up Aquarius. She was able to go off on her but Asuka’s cuteness saved her butt there.

So they do jobs and manage to get the money for Asuka to buy a little snow globe back from a pawn store.

Snapshot_7

After that Asuka tells a quick story about how she and her parents saw the globe in the store and some how the situation goes to Asuka asking if Lucy and Natsu kiss. Asuka orders for them to kiss Natsu goes in and this…

Snapshot_8

I’d look for a new tongue and lips…

But turns out cute little Asuka can’t even hold onto her globe for so long because then some random flying thieves steal it and take flight. Asuka tries to shoot them down with her toy gun but it doesn’t work.

Let’s let Natsu try.

He totally threw that match against Asuka. That’s sweet of him that he covered Asuka’s eyes to make her think that she was the one that shot them down. That’s nice of him.

So in the meantime, Wendy finishes making the cake and Erza finds the strawberries. I could show you what they did but Erza…seriously Strawberry Armor.

Snapshot_6

When and where other than now are you ever going to use that armor?

So once Alzack and Bisca get back, Asuka gives them back the snow globe and they explain that they had to sell the globe to get some money. They don’t say outloud why did needed it but we see a flashback.

During the 7 years while the Tenrou group was gone, Asuka got sick. It was a choice between selling something that was precious to them or buying their daughter medicine. They chose the medicine without a second thought. Now that’s sweet.

And with that the episode ends.

Now that’s a good episode. It’s good that Fairy Tail is at least doing some good again. The next episode is going to be my favorite side chapter, 413 Days. Why because it has a whole lot of shipping, mostly Gray x Juvia shipping which is my favorite pairing other than Gajeel x Levy.

Also A-1 Studios changed the ending animations to a slow pan of one of the female cast so like Lucy, Erza, and Wendy in pajamas, I’ll have the picture here.

Snapshot_13

So cute….ah Suzuko Mimori-sama….

Anyway next week Fairy Tail stays on a good streak.

Until then,
