I already read the manga, but I'm disappointed with Laxus' lackluster role in the plot. Natsu eating different kinds of shit is getting too repeatable.

Ya know, I'm glad Lucy briefly mentioned that one time Natsu tried eating Laxus's lightning offscreen, which was first mentioned all the way back in episode 42. Makes it seem slightly less out of nowhere when you remember details like that, doesn't it? And yes, the same thing was said in the manga in chapter 106 (this episode was based on chapter 245).

Seems like they started adding in some fillers now, the fights with the remaining of grimore heart was not suppose to be there, but still the unison attack was quite cool so i suppose i could dig it. And no! they made laxus less cooler than he was in the manga D: damnnnnit where's ma cool laxus.

I have no complaints with the filler. It's just they really need to put it because the arc is ending soon and the next arc in the manga haven't even finished yet. I hope they continue Fairy Tail's Anime.

Deym Lightning-Fire Dragon looks great when Animated :">

Lisanna fanservice was nice, but she is so useless. She should just sit in a corner and watch. The only thing useful she did in the fight was use Cana's and Levy's magic at the same time.

Laxus fight wasn't as epic as i thought it would be. And giving Natsu his magic power? How much bs do you expect us to take?

Hikaru was pretty funny though. He'll be missed.

I already knew what was gonna happen and I'm still pissed off as hell ! Okay, we get it! Natsu's a main character and all, but c'mon ! Why does this happen every single fucking time! UGH!

Laxus should have been the one to fight Hades and don't give me that bullshit about the marks and stuff. If anything, Laxus should have fought Hades to redeem himself. All Natsu does is yell, get power ups and get motion sickness all the time and I'm really getting annoyed with his character development, or should i say lack there of.

But, minus the last few minutes, the episode was good.

The part back at FT HQ with the other characters seems like a waste of time to others but it has something more going on in there.
The attack at the base camp of the wounded was a nice extension to this episode.
And of course, the lightning-fire hybrid by Natsu. Yeah.

Did people really expected something different? Laxus being the one to defeat the Hades would be a too good thing to happen, of course it has to be Natsu to finish the last boss. What pisses me off that he can pretty much eat any kind of shit to power up now. You can threw away all kinds of theories but he can just make new rules whenever the situation calls for it. Shonen's greatest weakness I guess...

The filler fights were pretty good, it makes all those members who stayed behind a bit more important now. Still shame that they didn't want to expend the Laxus VS Hades fight.

Natsu sure can eat a bunch of stuff :O So now a Lightning-fire dragon is going to beat the 2nd master?? I don't believe it. Laxus give his magic to natsu because he can eat magic right? If it's not for that reason, giving it to erza will make more sense.

Oh no, don't you dare that yet. There's still WAY more bs for you to swallow young grasshopper, and you're going to take it all in like those of us who read the manga did. Just you wait.

Didn't hate the filler. It made sense for what it was.

Still, it was established Natsu could eat other forms of magic besides fire ever since he ate Etherion, which was made out of every form of magic. It was also established back in episode 42 (chapter 106 in the manga) that Natsu once ate Laxus's lightning, which received a nice little callback from Lucy in this episode when she brought up how Natsu got sick from eating it. In fact, Natsu ate Zancrow's Flame God Slayer magic just a few episodes ago.

I also liked the filler, especially as one who's all caught up in the manga. I never really thought about some of the remaining Grimoire Heart minions coming back for revenge. It was sweet how they took care of Rustyrose before any of that happened. And the scene back at the guild was...yeah.

Fillers were put in this episode, I don't really mind but I think the time could've been used to extend battles (*cough* Glidarts vs Bluenote).

Lisanna, Levy and Kana teaming up to create a unison attack was pretty good! Finally did something right.

Laxus vs Hades should've been longer. I don't mind Natsu eating whatever, I kinda like that about him, I don't know how he could eat lightning though? Still quite cool. And as much as I like seeing Natsu saving the day (AGAIN), I wish it was someone else or just something different.
As it turns out, living was a punishment...

Yeah, five or six extra lines of dialogue in the Laxus/Hades fight didn't really cut it, but still, one episode adapting one chapter? They're definitely prepping filler arcs. In fact, a Japanese blog said that there will be whole filler arcs coming up after this one. And since I read the manga, I know that it's possible.

And like I said, if Natsu can eat Etherion, which is made of every form of magic, then he can eat any form of magic. He just gets sick whenever he eats something that isn't fire. After all, Natsu tried eating Laxus's lightning once before (according to a little sidestory Happy first mentioned in episode 42) and got sick from that.

Most (if not all) of those goofy looking characters that keep popping up in the background are from the author's prior work, Groove Adventure Rave (aka Rave Master). Just some random fun for rans of his previous works.

With Laxus and Hades duking it out the last thing I want to see is see the lamer characters of Grimoire Heart and Fairy Tail taking up half the episode. At least marshmallow was hilarious and the fight between Laxus and Hades was pretty good, especially the last few minutes.

Made sitting through the rest more than worth it.

The funny thing is, Lisanna is a better character in the anime than the manga. In fact, I think it was because of the anime and/or popular demand that she was brought back from the dead. But I can't say for sure, because when the first animated Lisanna's "death" scene in the anime, the animators made it so it looked like something she could have survived, but would still threaten to be fatal.

After last episode, which was pretty good, they follow it up with a subpar episode diluted with filler. If you're going to use filler, use it to extend the battle at hand, not to show side battles. That's the one issue I find with this arc, is that the anime tries to pack different battles into one episode. And while it's understandable, because it is something of a guild war, the effort to focus on different battles at once takes away the impression from each of those battles. There was no need to bring back losers. I hate Kain and I hate the furry duo.

If this episode had focused on Laxus versus Hades, with maybe some passing flashbacks of Laxus' adventures since getting booted from Fairy Tail and his time in Fairy Tail, then the ending would've been far more dramatic than what it was.

This episode was somewhat a step down from last week. We finally see Laxus come into action like a badass, but they only showed a few minutes of his fight with Hades, only to watch him lose.

Funny that those other two who managed to knock out Gajeel at the beginning came back. They should be promoted since they lasted longer than most of the other 7 Kin.

Also, I love how the cats all take their time like they are playing hide and seek when Laxus lost all his power trying to defeat this guy and Hades is on the verge of killing everyone.

there were good and bad things about this cap, the bad was laxus´s short battle, i was hopping something more legendary, but is clear who is the main character here.... also the lazy battle on the "fucked up ones camp" another disappointing fact on this cap...... the good for me was the super dragon slayer change of natsu, and the sentimentalism of laxus, those were epic moments ( a little bit repetitive) , still they were so awesome!!!!

So in other words, you wish this fight wouldn't end with Natsu using his power-up to effortlessly beat the bad guy to a bloody pulp while everyone else is totally powerless to do anything except marvel at how awesome Natsu is?

Well, while Natsu always seems to deal the finishing blow nowadays, the formula of it being a one-on-one fight was kind of broken in the Edolas arc where Gajeel and Wendy played a particularly active role in not only fighting, but helping Natsu deal the finishing blow. So maybe this fight will have a more meaningful conclusion that reflects the kind of group effort that was being built up ever since the war between Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart started. Or maybe it'll end with Natsu using his power-up to effortlessly beat the bad guy to a bloody pulp while everyone else is totally powerless to do anything except marvel at how awesome Natsu is.

Of course, the only ones who can't say "maybe" are the ones who've read the manga. Besides, this fight ain't over.

I think what ahmed_great2005 wanted to say is that he would have preferred if some other character dealt the finishing blow, he wasn't talking about the ''awesome'' Natsu and the current situation at all. Like example, if Laxus powers weren't enough then everyone could stand up and attack together again with Laxus giving the last blow, or even if Zeref came and bested Hades would have been cool as well. I though it would be refreshing to see and break the cliche of Shonen shows. The Deliora Arc had Gray fight the ''main villain'' and Makarov dealt with Phantom Lord's master, so I hoped that tradition continued later on.... but it doesn't...

Booring.. Shounen is getting so boring these days, with random bits of booty fanservice here and there, main characters getting boosts so little kids can stare with their eyes wide open at fancy names like lightning-flame-dragon-master-awesome-blabla-attack!, no one ever dying, bad characters being %100 percent bad as if the world is black&white (also check: naruto, where every bad character is actually GOOD instead). Yeah, booooring.

What happened to the character development in HxH series? The sentimentality at first episodes of Naruto? Where are the protagonists that CAN do bad things? And where do all these beaten-but-never-killed bad villains go? Do they just "give up"? Time to get real shounen, you're dying.

/rant

Me thinks the only shounens worth watching this season are Mirai Nikki and Shana >.>
