Lucy's encounter with the weird grimoire heart wizard was just ROLF
That guy sure was a dumbass.. but strong too. Natsu sure did a number on Lucy's weirdo chaser, but the turnaround of power was just brutal on both Lucy and Natsu. Using the cursed doll on Lucy while doing some serious ass kicking was amazing!!

I don't think they give kids enough credit tbh. They've just shown Natsu setting the doll on fire and Happy taking it to high speed, then the narrator says "Allow me to explain; Natsu set the doll on fire and Happy took it to high speed." Even a 9 year-old would want to slap him and say "no shit!" The director is pretty crap imo.

It's a parody of sentai shows. The cliche thing is that in sentai shows whenever a character uses a super power the narrator (or perhaps a scientist on scene, whoever) chimes in to "explain" the super power.... "Let me explain: By vibrating his teeth at supersonic speeds, Plaqueman creates extremely high pitched sonic waves that resonate with the titanium bones of his enemy, causing them to super heat and explode!" etc... So yes, it's stupid humor but it's rooted in classic sentai tropes. It's something frankly even middle aged people would find amusing if they were fans of these sorts of shows.

This was without a doubt one of the funniest episodes in Fairy Tail for a while now and I for one was very happy to see it, things have been so tense lately that a bit of comic relief feel refreshing to keep the mood of us viewers up.

Anyone who thinks this episode was bad should definitely steer clear of Rave Master; FT is tame in comparison when it comes to this variety of humor. While not an outright fan of the style, it is a guilty pleasure. Just one of those things that is better not to analyze, since that defeats the point of the silliness. It would be akin to critiquing classic cartoons like Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies. I still enjoy watching reruns of those even now as an adult, silliness and all. |

Hey guys I was thinking about starting to watch this show.
But can anyone tell me how many episodes are in English so far and how often they come out? I like watching english dubs over subs but I also noticed this show has like 100+ eps and Im just wondering if I should wait like full metal brotherhood or just watch them subbed. |

I can never resist watching things online, but because I'm very fond of this dub, the last thing I want for it to do is die, so I support the show by buying the DVDs as presents for other people. That said, please don't link to other sites. There are people who'd much rather not pay for what they want to see, which is sad. Plus, it discourages people from supporting Funimation, which will prove fatal for this dub. Remember what happened to D.Gray-Man and Case Closed? Well, I have no reason to know that you would remember, but still, don't let the dub stop getting made.

Because not enough people wanted to buy the DVDs, Funi couldn't afford to license and more seasons of D.Gray-Man and dropped it. Word has it that Funi's actually trying to get it back, but I have no way of knowing that for certain (don't ask where I heard because I can't even remember). I suppose it could be brought back through popular demand, but I don't want to have to go through that with Fairy Tail. It'd just waste time and prove agonizing for those who love this dub, myself included.

Plus, people should watch the dubbed version as well if that were to help for Funi to dub the second season.
