It's as if they ran low on colours while they made the episode, so they drenched everyone in mud to hide it and had to make Zeref's eyes black...

Anyway I wasn't really impressed with the stare-down either, but I liked how Zeref talked. That he talks so casually about wiping out mankind, as if it was nothing more serious than stepping on a couple of bugs, makes the whole talk even more creepy and the music was chosen well too... too bad that the visuals couldn't keep up with the audio stuff.

That the voice sounds differently is fine and actually natural I think. After all he's neither his previous whiny self, crying all the time, nor his angry self that killed Hades.
