A nice piece of insert music in episode 12! Fairy Tail's music is really top-notch.
If only the animation can catch up though........ I really, really, hate the stills! Why can't they execute the magical moves like the newest Negima OVA? That'd have been awesome. On another note, great to see some of Gray's background in this episode. I also like how thoughtful and deep he's become here. oh, and on stripping for once.

We don't exactly know how much budget this show gets, but with two studios with great budgets(and they know how to spend it the right way), and a director who has not dissapointed in the past, you would think it would be great, but instead it's below mediocre animes out there.
Now, I'm not 100% on this, but I have a theory. Hiro Mashima had a lot of offers from many different studios, but declined them all, because he didn't want FT to become like RAVE. We don't know what he meant by that. It could have been lack of animation quality, could have been that he didn't like how DEEN treated RAVE, or have it ending half way through the series. Now, I've been working on animation here lately (working on Natsu vs Gerard actually), and I've also been studying it, so I've frame advanced some of the scenes, and I have to say, I think they are doing it on purpose, because they are going for the younger viewers. Why, I don't know, but they can get away with cheap stills and such, while at the same time making money, because young children don't mind as much. That's why it's censored down the way it is. I'm not sure why they went with the young audience for, because the majority of the audience is at least 13+, Unless Mashima wanted it that way, which I woundn't understand why. |

I think you might have a point.
If it wasn't for the fact that earlier fights were so poorly received I would have assumed exactly that at least about the scenes where Gray was being flung into things. It emphasizes the point when he hits the walls while at the same time actually being less violent. When I saw those scenes I thought "He doesn't look like he's trying his best" which I'm thinking he might not be.

Natsu still wants us to watch Fairy Tail in a brightly lit room. Too bad I thought they may have ended up having a new character say it each episode.
Spoiler for Episode 13:
Happy's lecture was great though. I wonder whether we'll learn about Erza or Gray next week.

^ apparently it's what you say when you put both hands in the air?
Anyway, the humour was a bit fast in this episode, Toby felt somewhat out of place (although he was very funny). Next episode seems interesting, looking forward to it |

The soundtrack is packing a lot of tracks we've heard so far in the series, which is a very good sign. Overall i'm really impressed with it, especially the whole pirate theme a lot of pieces have.
My god, the slow version of the main theme is so damn epic, it's insane.
