Fairy Tail - 337

The Golden Plains

Usually I like to come up with a lot of stuff to make fun of the chapters that I review. Unfortunately, I really couldn't come up with much for this chapter, mainly because it didn't contain any battles of such. Anyway, let's get into the chapter.

So, as expected, this arc has finally ended and this chapter is pretty much wrapping it up. Funnily enough, not a single dragon was killed throughout this entire chapter, which is ironic seeing as there was 7 dragon slayers...

Anyway, Carla says something pretty clever here:

To which I replied with:

Fairy Tail - 336

In Order to Live Today to the Fullest
(by smashing a gate...)

I think this chapter was pretty damn awesome, and we get to see how strong Natsu is...or how weak Lucy is. However, I got terrified at the start of this chapter. As you all know (or those who bothered to read my introduction), I prefer the Fairy Tail manga to the anime for multiple reasons. I won't go through them all in the current review as it will probably lengthen it by one-hundred thousand pages or so, but one of these reasons is due to the ridiculous "magical circles" in the anime. The reason I got terrified was that we got a sneak peak at something that looked suspiciously like one of these abominable circles...

No wonder the dragon is trying to kill her...

Before everyone starts raging at me, saying "DAT';s NOTT  A MAJIKAL SHIRKEL!!!", I know that it is actually a shield that is part of Wendy's dragon slayer powers...

Fairy Tail - 335

The Time of Life                                                                 (which is apparently one minute)

I'll go ahead and admit it, this chapter was pretty controversial. Some thought it was epic since Gray did survive (WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!) and others thought it was absolute bull since, once again, a random epic power which has never been mentioned in the past suddenly gets introduced once times go bad. This has happened in every shonen anime. Final Getsuga Tensho (not so much anymore, since it's actually been explained, but at the time...) and Sage Mode were never mentioned in the past and were suddenly introduced. But this one trumps the lot of them, the power was never ever mentioned in the past and they explained it within one chapter. Anyway, let's actually get into this review.

So the chapter begins off with an absolute ton of deaths, mainly to emphasise the futility of the humans against the dragons, including Macao, Chelia, Gray, Droy and probably a lot more that weren't mentioned. We then get the ridiculously short explanation for Ultear's epic power.

Master Hades: "Ultear, what's wrong with you, that's a cookery book..."

Fairy Tail - 334

Sin and Sacrifice

Okay, first of all, I'm just going to put this out there. This review is going to be HUGELY biased against Juvia because it was her fault that Gray was...well you'll see.
So, LET'S GO!

Seeing as the chapter is called Sin and Sacrifice, I'll split up this review...

Must admit, this was my end of chapter reaction

Fairy Tail - 333

People and people, dragons and dragons, people and dragons!

Natsu launches his counterattack! With Atlus Flame now on his side, Natsu proceeds to reenter the main fight, riding upon the dragon's back. Future Rogue summons Mother Glare (The Adamant Dragon) to help him fight Natsu and Atlus Flame. A predictable development, since the ending of the previous chapter alluded to a showoff.
