Spoiler for plot:

immblueversion · 2015-08-08, 14:18

I've been looking forward to the storyline cut from the Tartaros arc manga, and I'm even more excited to know that it involves Jellal and the remnants of Grimoire Heart. The former kind of just disappeared from the arc after he beat the Oracion Seis, and the latter was a loose plot thread that was addressed a long time ago since the time skip. We know Rustyrose and Kain Hikaru were the only two of the Seven Kin who remained in the guild and survived the fight, and now we know what happened to at least one of them. Maybe we'll finally know the big drawback Rusty's Arc of Incarnation is supposed to have. It's surprising to see Zancrow and Azuma in the preview since they're confirmed to be dead, but seeing how neither of them look any different while Rusty certainly does, I'm betting they're just products of his Arc of Incarnation.

But... Loli Wendy is always the best.

Without Lolis, this show is only half good, LOL.

That's why almost all arcs always have one or two lolis in it. They're just Awesome. (especially chibi-lolis)

Well, she can at least "grow up" like Hestia from DanMachi. She would still be a loli, but she would be very "grown up".

Stark700 · 2015-08-14, 21:34

Rustyrose in this arc? Huh...that was awkward.

Anyways, I'm hyped for Mard Geer now who happened to show up at the end.

Wow! Anime Original material that actually didn't suck?! I knew you had it in you A-1.

Seeing how this material was cut from the manga, I have a feeling Hiro was quite involved in its development. And this was an interesting opportunity to see members of the Balam Alliance interact, as it was never given much of a good look in the manga. Also, it came as no surprise to me that Zancrow and Azuma were just figments of Rustyrose's imagination. They're the only members besides Hades and not-Capricorn who died on-screen, and seeing them totally unchanged in appearance was more than enough of a hint. Finally, to think Meldy was the glue that held Crime Sorciere and the Oracion Seis together. It's nice to see Meldy do something awesome, even if I still want to see more action from her again.

And here's something I realized with Mard Geer's VA Toshiyuki Morikawa:

Now we know what happened to Rusty after Grimoire's end. Lets see if they show what happen to Kain later.

immblueversion · 2015-08-14, 22:51

It also explains how Jellal got his eyesight back...sort of... But it just raises the question, what did Jellal do to his eyes in the first place? I originally figured he got replacement eyes like Erza did, but it seems they just kind of healed on their own. Clearly he didn't gouge them out because they were still intact. Maybe he used some kind of blinding light?

But you can see blood when Jellal blinded his eyes.

he blinded himself to shield against the macbeth illusions, well was more like mashima adding some drama

well i liked this which now looks like the crime sorcerer guild could "grow a little more" if rusty rose joined then.

ginger02 · 2015-08-15, 02:24

Finally got caught up! I hate summer school.

I was waiting to ask this until this episode, because it's something I didn't get watching this, or from reading the manga: why was Jellal fighting OS is the first place? And what promise did he make to Mest?

He had most likely torn his eyes, be it with hands or magic. Ocular wounds inflict a large amount of shock (and pain, obviously) and usually take long to heal (from a month upwards). The reason why they healed so fast is...just because :P

The fight was a way for Jellal to send a message about freedom and choices; he didn't want them to stray into darkness once again...and with Tartaros roaming around, it was probably a wise choice despite its silly premise. I don't remember him making any promise to Mest, but that's just me...it was probably something along the lines of watching over the OS.

Very good episode, it's for plot lines like this one that the anime deserves extra praise...although this also made me think how easily Meldy would defeat Kyouka in a 1v1 with her link magic

Nvis · 2015-08-16, 01:04

Meldy is cute and sexy.

Stark700 · 2015-08-21, 20:57

Episode 72:

Seilah going badass this episode. Kinda expected but it's still thrilling to watch her take on Mirajane. That sense of rage is a bit scary.

We also find a bit more about Mirajane's past, which imo isn't' very pleasant to see..
I'm glad she has family that suports her and she eventually finds Fairy Tail.

Cute chemistry between her, Lisanna, and Elfman. Glad to see Mard Geer getting more screen time as it builds up more events for this arc. I'm not feeling bad for Kyoka though lol.

Alegria looks legit.

MCAL · 2015-08-21, 21:44

Mirajane rules, Lucy's screwed and the best fight of the arc is up next.

ginger02 · 2015-08-22, 03:28

That was a nice episode. I didn't really know anything about Mira's story. What happened to their parents?

Wasn't she kind of a wild child? Did that happen afterwards, and then she became nicer and less wild when they lost Lisanna?

Speaking of Lisanna, she's supposed to know a bunch of animal take-overs isn't she? You'd think she'd use them to fight every now and then.

Mira went from quiet > wild > smiling/caring.

The pig take over doesn't seem useful though.

Except maybe lunch for some wild beasts.

Kafriel · 2015-08-22, 06:07

...but pigs got powerful jaws and can eat anything!

Quite the sentimental first half this week, the Strauss family sure went through a lot...and then, Mard Geer makes one move and takes out almost everyone! Judging from the preview, next week's episode is gonna rain down the feels once more. Kyouka's punishment seemed way too light though, considering how she tortures people, I would have expected a least using her own magic against her...

Lol @ Minerva only caring about fighting Erza.

Casshern · 2015-08-22, 09:34

Really looking forward to the following episodes. This part was may favourite of the whole arc. I hope they use some good animation for it.
