Opinions: (B+)

A nice episode for sure, especially with Erza finally getting into action. Erza losing her armor and using that Chinese-ish Sword slaying costume  was nice, especially with her whole reason for donning armor being that she was weak. Now that she’s shed her weakness, she is definitely a lot stronger. As always, Erza’s costumes are quite skimpy… gotta provide the fanservice I guess? XD

Erza also powering through and Going at Jellal was nice. It seems like Etherion is going to fire, and its going to take everyone out in 10 minutes. Natsu’s got to race against time to make sure Erza doesn’t just die with Jellal!

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