Opinions: (B)

Not a lot happened this episode beyond the setting up on some fights for next episode. I’m glad Natsu made quick work of Wally, as I just didn’t want that character to be too powerful. Speaking of freakishly odd designs, we have a heavy metal reject that looks like he got kicked out of KISS, I guess Al Simmons isn’t the only one ripping stuff XD

Juvia getting controlled by him was an interesting turn of events, and I find it rather amusing that Jellal has already written off Lucy from the game.  I doubt Lucy is going to lose though, given that she has powerful spirits like Loke in her posession. Natsu’s fight with the bird dude seems rather uninteresting. To be honest, the introduction of Death’s Head Circus doesn’t have me too thrilled, and it seems more of like a way to drag out the time before the eventual Natsu versus Jellal fight.

(This opinion is a short one because I fell behind and have to do 5 episodes in a row XD)
