[Ash Falls Town]

Spoiler for 77:

This episode felt so depressingly melancholy. Also I hope everyone else isn't dead. The opening suggests Lucy definitely isn't and Gajeel and Mystogan should be alive as well but it'll be really depressing to kill off an entire town of people including two mains and a dozen of side characters in something like this.

Anyway Wendy is really growing on me to the point I can't believe how ambivalent I was to her at the beginning. Carla's feelings also came out incredibly well as well. The scene where everything falls apart before her eyes was heartbreaking. Although this means the opening still was more literal than I expected.

Mystogan really annoyed me though with how willing he was to abandon everyone besides Wendy. A far cry from the guy who could eat an apple through his scarf. Also the episodes called Earthland but there's absolutely no indication on what an Earthland is.
