Eh, nothing much to say. I'm kinda disillusioned :/

Animation is okay, but not great. Ep seemed slow. Explaining the other jobs the FT peeps went on was pointless. As you say, where is the CSK? Why are none of the other Spirits (silvers) changing? Just a lot of unanswered questions, and I know they could (and likely will) be explained, but the problem here is, well, that I really don't care tbh.

I mean, they're all just gunna get their memories back in the upcoming fights and then all apologize and revert back to their normal forms. And we've seen this kind of thing 100 times over, so I don't really care for it. Lol, I guess you could say that I have the same issue with this that I do with Ice Trail, which is that we know the exact outcome of what is going to happen. None of the Spirits are going to grow as characters, because they are no real different in Tartarus. The CS World will be fine, because the CSK is there in the end because of Tartarus. And Lucy already loves her Spirits 100%, so I don't see how she can grow at all.

And I know you're all thinking "but that's what filler is... it just fills the gaps", but to me they could have done so much different to at least try and increase the intrigue, perhaps by focussing on a different character or a new group of baddies... but no... they went with Lucy and Spirits >__> I mean, by comparison, FT0 as an insert story is interesting because we know that the characters (who are not mains in FT and therefore have a level of unknown about them, unlike Lucy and Spirits) end up vastly different to what they appear as in FT0 - Precht is the best example... like, what the hell happens? D: And we have important characters who we know nothing about - Yury and Zeira. Plus, we know Mavis dies, but how? So mysterious and intriguing, like a story where just the last sentence is known and we're reading from start to that last line wondering how that line will come to be! But this filler on the other hand is like Ice Trail... just a story where the beginning and the end are fully written and we're reading/watching only the long middle bit where nothing much happens.

Plus, now we have to add additional images, appearance, personality and abilities sections to all of their pages so aaaarg >__> Basically, I just think this arc will create more work for us than we'll get out of it, so I'm not looking forward to it.

Sorry for the negativity, but I have to be honest here. I hope everyone else enjoys it though, because right now I'm only watching for the ASG :/
