I wouldn't be surprised if they did a filler arc between Nirvana and Edolas, and then between Edolas and the current manga arc.

So, an educated guess would say there are at least going to be another 35-40 episodes.

The current manga arc should be done by the time the Edolas arc is finished airing, so they might just go onto that, too. Of course, that means the anime would probably have to take quite a break, then, in order to let the manga generate enough material for a 3rd season. Still, by the time Edolas is done, we should have plenty of material for a 3rd season.

I'm pretty certain that the first season was intended to end with episode 48. Hence the rushing to conclude the arcs by that point. It's one year - 4 weeks where the timeslot would be preempted by something else. I suspect the second season is also a minimum of 48 episodes.

I hope this arc ends soon because I don't like it for some reason.

kitten320 · 2011-02-09, 16:46

Same, it seemed interesting at first but now it is just dragging. And no matter how I look at it, Nirvana as a city looks dumb...

Well saw the manga, looks like there are probably around 3-4 more episodes before new arc.

Spectacular_Insanity · 2011-02-09, 17:39

Ugh. They're so stupid. They should have just destroyed the legs from the get-go so it couldn't move.

Spoiler for Ep 65:

Clarste · 2011-02-09, 18:14

The legs regenerate. That's the whole point of what they're doing right now. The attack on the leg only worked to knock that one shot away from where it was aiming, so it needed to be timed perfectly. Attacking it earlier would have done nothing.

kitten320 · 2011-02-10, 06:13

They still could try, I'm surprised Natsu never thought of it since destroying things that he doesn't like are his best ideas.

Crimrui · 2011-02-10, 06:48

Try to understand that they had multiple battles and none of them are at their full power so wasting more of their magic on something that would probably not work would leave them vulnerable. They didn't try it in the first place because they thought that by defeating Brain, Nirvana would stop. And after that the Zero appeared and Natsu really didn't had time to do anything. There is really no use talking about this now, Erza, Gray, Lucy, Aizen and Wendy are at it, and they will figure something out.

kitten320 · 2011-02-10, 14:28

Lol Aizen?

SkoolRumble4Ya · 2011-02-10, 15:16

I'll never look at Aizen the same ever again.

Kafriel · 2011-02-10, 15:48

Aizen = Ichiya, because Sho Hayami is voicing both of them...In case someone forgot, Ichiya is the dude that only says "meeeen...men, men, men, men, men!"

Shiroth Beautiful fighter. Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: England, UK Age: 37	Men! Spoiler for Episode 65: Decent episode. Natsu, Lucy and Gray getting back up was pretty damn cheesy, though with an epic piece of music such as 'bonds' used for the scene, then i can easily enjoy the hell out of it. Of course the best part of the episode was Jellal at the end. We're heading into the final part of the arc next week. Hoping the animation delivers for the final fight. __________________ MyAnimeList Twitter

Like the new OP a lot and now after all the episodes I can see all the spoilers But this time they covered them well^^ Spoiler for 65: Though I have no idea on how Natsu plans to fight Zero who so easily turned 4 of them into a pulp... Wonder if Jellal is pretending right now or Natsu will knock some sence into him. But by the OP seems like Jellal will leave again. __________________ My anime list

FlareKnight User of the "Fast Draw" Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Canada	Spoiler for Ep65: Well at least they had Natsu going up against Zero as planned by Natsu and not some silly coincidence. He and Erza are probably the only ones in any condition to fight period right now. Though Natsu is only in a condition to fight due to ridiculous durability. Jellal getting memories back really has come at a bad time. He better snap out of it quickly since it's completely ridiculous to have Natsu fighting Jellal and Zero at the same time. But yeah seem to be coming close to the end of this situation. A nice return by the other characters so they can have done something useful instead of having to just leave everything to the others. __________________ Anime-Evo

ars89 One-Eyed Dragon Join Date: Sep 2010 Location: NJ, USA	Spoiler for ep 65: Nice job out of the remaining people to get Christina running in time to save Caitshelter. Nice that Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy woke up. I think Happy looked the best in his pose, looked like he wanted some action for Carla's sake. Didn't like Erza covering up the fact that Jellal was supposed to be working with them. After seeing Jellal utter Natsu's name a suspected he wasn't going to help destroy Nirvana, but i didn't think he would go attack Natsu. I guess revenge is a good way to regain memories. Hope Natsu can handle both of them. I can't see how he can in his tired condition, unless he gets a nice meal of fire to power him up. Well next ep i guess everyone heads to the other lacrima, but who are they going to get for the last one, maybe Happy because he was walking by himself. Also surprised that he didn't tag along with Natsu. The only other option i see is Wendy but she can't destroy anything. Though i never liked Ichiya i actually didn't mind him this time. I kind of wondered what happened to him, seeing him move along while still tied up was funny. __________________ My Anime List

Kafriel Senior Guest Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Athens (GMT+2) Age: 35	Spoiler for 65: So, it takes Natsu all he's got to stop Zero's normal attacks...how can he hope to win against him AND Jellal? Even for Natsu, I think it's a bit too much to handle. Anyway, archive seems to be pretty broken magic; if Brain and Hibiki can just look around inside it for any kind of information however old it may be, they could solve FT's dragon plot

ErzaFan9000 Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2010	Spoiler for Episode 65: Just like in previous episodes, things that have happened in the opening are happening in anime each episode. What I wonder is now, who will go to the 6th Lacrima because Jellal went off to number one... The only ones available are Happy, Carla, and Wendy, and we know that Happy and Carla can't use any fighting magic, so maybe Wendy will save the day and use a dragon roar or one of those generic Dragon Slayer moves. It seems as though Jellal has at least gotten his memories back about Natsu, and he may be there to actually help him. Did anyone notice that he shot Fire at Natsu? In the opening he is shown holding a golden flame, and then in the preview for 66, Natsu is holding that golden flame. Also in the opening, we see Natsu glowing gold, so Jellal may still be a good guy... As for the other lacrima, I have no idea how Lucy is suppose to destroy her lacrima considering that she has no magic power left, and her whip wouldn't nearly be strong enough to destroy it. Destroying Nirvana seems pretty impossible, but they have to if they want to move onto the next arc which is apparently called Edolas by some of the people above, which I am guessing has little to no relation with this arc.

kitten320 Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007	^ Spoiler for 65: That's the worst part of the series, good guys always have enough energy and strengh to destroy all the bad things, doesn't matter that they got their ass kicked seconds ago and they can barely stand =/ Well Lucy has her keys so someone will come for help.. P.S. I actually had checked that arc out of curiousity and I can say for 100% that I can't wait for this arc to end. For one, it seems slightly dragged and a bit random and two, next one seems quiet epic and might become another fave arc of mine, maybe on pair with Lucy arc... will see __________________ My anime list
