The episode was already leaked, so I minds well post this early.

*eye twitch* Really? Trinity Raven is still alive but Simon has to die? Ugh...I swear...FT is trying to make me hate it.

Anyway...I guess this is my favorite episode of the arc. Etherion!Natsu is awesome. For the moment, Erza is technically dead which makes me very happy. And most importantly, it's more or less the last episode of this ErzaFest.

Bring on the Fighting Festival!

[Spaze-chan :D]

I've haven't watched every episode from this Arc, but I'm glad the Fantasia Arc will be starting soon. I'm disappointed in most of the other ones. >>

Simon has to die?

I know. He loved her and then died for her. D; That scene was sad, but it was all

*Simon dies after saying he loved Erza*
Erza: *tears*.....
Natsu: *has this wtf whut look on his face*
Erza: *screams*
Jellal: ...Haha! That's called throwing your life away, Simon!

Bring on the Fighting Festival!

YES. B| I want to see more of Jubia in her Fairy Tail outfit and Luxus with his group.

YAAAY NEXT ARC PLZ
*havent watch this one actually.. I'm kinda tired of seeing Erza...*

[ShadowHawk]

I know. He loved her and then died for her.

Part of me just says "That's what you get for loving Erza. Death. Serves you right dumb ass."

But I did like Simon more than the rest of Erza's old nakama so I am still sorry he couldn't have joined the guild.

It really bothers me that the anime went out of its way to show Trinity Raven was still alive. It would have been fine if it had stayed ambiguous like the manga. It's not like any of them changed sides. Simon, who was good the whole time, dies because he was trying to do the right thing. Trinity Raven, which prides itself on being a high level team from an assassins' guild, gets off scott free.

...Really? Only three people vote in my threads now?


And yeah, didn't even remember him dying in the manga.

[Arekanderu]

I haven't seen the anime since they came to the tower. Will pick it up later, maybe when the next arc begins.

I think a lot of people didn't watch this arc and are just waiting for the Festival.

The only reason I watched it was because if I stopped, I'd never pick it back up.

Simon died in the manga pretty much the same way. I went to check and see if the manga pictured what happened to Trinity Raven. It didn't. Erza just watched Simon's body slide down into a hole. Which...when you think about it...who knows if he was actually dead when he fell? I mean, Erza screamed and the fight picked back up again. Maybe he just fell unconscious. Did anyone think to check a pulse?

[orenjimaru]

same here... havent watch all the erza-gerard-natsu episodes... I think my last one is the Juvia battle :\

got tired of Erza

[Roxas]

I'm still on Phantom Lord, but I just found out that Gérard's special suit was different. Looking at his anime suit, I'm glad they changed it.

[Spaze-chan :D]

I skipped only 11 episodes in the anime, four from this arc. :/

[Solf]

Gerard's suit in the anime is horrible. It's a fucking regular sleeveless shirt with gloves. How it didn't burn is a mystery.

Anyway, FT's anime never ceases to disappoint me. FT's best arc so far just ended, and yet it was still 1000x times worse than the manga.

I mean, things aren't even played right. Simon is shown as worthless in the manga (I mean, he died in two pictures, and that was good enough for him), and there, we have all this out of place drama scene (while we obviously don't care about that big oaf).

They DID compensate by showing Trinity Raven alive. I loved these guys, particularly Ikaruga.
