Review
This chapter was really just super meh, so I'm just gonna do rants and raves this week. :/

Rants and Raves

 * Rave: I liked that Zeref still felt some sympathy for Mavis. Its kinda cute. :)
 * Rant: I feel bad for poor Mavis. Really hope she gets out of this situation soon. :( Although the only way she gets out of that situation is if Gray beats Invel soon, which would be awful unless its done properly.
 * Rave: Erza and Gildarts looked badass as hell. Although that's nothing new. :D
 * Rant: Oh. My. God!!!!! Mashima, why?!?!?!? GRAY VS. INVEL?? Please kill me now. I'm sorry, but I was seriously hoping that beyond predictable battle wouldn't happen. The only good thing about it is that Juvia isn't taking a part in the battle (inb4 she breaks out of the ice and they defeat Invel with the Unison Raid of Love >_>). Look, I'm not saying the battle has to be bad, but I don't have much faith given Mashima's track record.
