User blog comment:Omega natsu2/Episode 194: The Magic of Zirconis, Review./@comment-7418318-20140809125304

Somehow this episode felt disjointed to me. As if different teams had made each scene and then they were just put together without much care.

They also tried too hard to make the Natsu and Lucy scene funny. Instead of just having the bell roll it bounces as if it was made of rubber and with funny music over it... it was just too much, making it feel forced.

And the animation was also quite dodgy in places, particularly Mirajane's messed up face when she hovered next to Wendy looks like a Picasso. And what's with that Twilight Ogre fire and ice girl? Not as bad as mister dolphin, but still terrible. I'd rather have seen Romeo, Macao, Laki or some other minor FT member take out one or two Galespawn... or if it absolutely had to be a Twilight Ogre mage, just go with the already introduced ones who messed up the guild. If one of the very people who terrorized Fairy Tail during the timeskip was now fighting with them against a common enemy, it'd have had a much bigger impact than some random new person we need to be told is a part of Twilight Orge.

At least we got a few cool new soundtrack pieces and Purple Flare looked really good... even though it wasn't even used.
