User blog comment:Omega natsu2/Fairy Tail Episode 197: Hisui Rises, Review./@comment-4449950-20141108090820

Ooooooooh my my my my my. How I hated this episode.

Literally the only two positives I can force are the hilarious LUUUSHIII KIKKU and the fact that we saw some more silver keys (even if they were lame >__>).

Soooo... where to begin... where to begin?


 * 1) I said last week that I wanted Hisui and Acradios to be in town with NOBODY ELSE (is Hisui a princess or just some kind of not-too-important female?) for a reason. I know they ended up saying they were looking for Fairy Tail, but that still didn't really cover why they were in that specific town. I think it was just so that hell could break loose outside Magnolia :/
 * 2) That "who are these people... TWO KING MATOS!? No wait... it's Arcadios and Hisui omg!" joke >__> Their faces and bodies are visible! Sorry, but I literally rolled my eyes at that one.
 * 3) Hisui randomly having these special keys so quickly. Lucy and Yukino only found out about the 12ECS like a short while ago, right? And they only found out because they own gold keys. How did Hisui find out? From what we've seen the silver keys used don't seem to be altered in their behaviours or patterns due to Eclipse, so I'm wondering how Hisui knows so much...
 * 4) ...on this note... HISUI IS A FREAKIN' CELESTIAL SPIRIT MAGE >__> Fml... I literally went "NO!" when she announced that. I am so angry at that. Can't there be a character who is useful without being a Mage?? And don't give me Arcadios because he's a knight and trained for combat. I was totally happy with Hisui being the princess character who could assist everyone with her reasoning and perhaps a little power play. Her being a CSM is just... uhg for me :/
 * 5) "How did you make these new CS keys!?" "I'm a CS Mage... kay?" Uhhhh... that's not an explanation!! o___O I also get the feeling it won't be explained .-.
 * 6) I don't like Pisces' new look... I have decided. And his voice annoys me ( -__-)
 * 7) I don't get Pisces... I mean, he turns up to get the keys (how did they even know about them?) and then suddenly decides to fight Natsu? WHY!? SERIOUSLY... WHY!? That makes NO SENSE. Pisces even before this arc shouldn't know Natsu... from memory they've never met .-. He didn't even see Natsu fight or anything... and then he just wants to fight him??
 * 8) They kept reusing clips again :/ Oh, and on this note the animation was pretty iffy throughout.
 * 9) Pisces just happening to have new abilities that counter Natsu >__> This plot point AGAIN? I also didn't like these new random abilities. They weren't interesting or explained. Was that black wind? Anti-fire Magic? What was it? How are we going to describe it on his page...??
 * 10) Yukino uses her silver keys... and they are pretty lame. That giant bear and the honey and then the sleeping >__> Really? I hated that. By comparison the swan guy was okay... at least likeable.
 * 11) Arcadios saying he could fight better with his White Lily Armour. Since when did that armour do ANYTHING? It did nothing in the manga... Arcadios doesn't seem to have Magic like Erza... so I didn't get this line...
 * 12) After all the unfunny jokes and silly battles and reused shots and dialogue so rehashed and boring, Pisces gets the keys and finally leaves and then THEY JUST HAVE SPARES!? OMFG.... KILL ME. Seriously... that made the entire episode POINTLESS!! Why did Arcadios insist on fighting then if he knew? They should have all just gone "Oh my, we are so weak. We'll admit defeat." and then Pisces would have left and they could have saved all that time and energy. By far, that move pissed me off the most.
 * 13) Oh! How did Hisui hear Natsu's speech about moving forward if he said it ON TOP OF A DRAGON WHILST FIGHTING AND FLYING TOWARDS THE GROUND!? That to me was such an asspull too >__>
 * 14) OH OH! Did I mention that the "comedy" in the fights seemed so misplaced? I mean, Mashima has used comedy in fights, but the entire fight is often a joke (and actually funny) or the comedy is left out entirely. Here is just felt like the team was making the entire episode a massive laugh, but I was more insulted than amused .-.

...*sighs* Sorry for all of the hate here, but I REALLY disliked this ep. I'm just going to wipe it from my mind if I can... and pray that the rest of the filler isn't so awful ( -__-)~
