The chapter was ok. We got a proper fight for once; new power show-offs and everything, so I'm pleased enough I guess.

A Spriggan showing up to fight our heroes was pretty obvious, yeah. And it being Azeal was pretty obvious as well. I never really liked those types of characters either (Zancrow, Jackal etc.), but for some reason Azeal has just worked for me so far. Possibly because of his awesome design. Either way I liked his rash nature and his excitement for fighting. His Magic, although extremely main-stream, was also cool imo. His techniques were nice and well drawn and I enjoyed the fight.

Erza and Natsu were meh this chapter, but Lucy and Gray were awesome! (._.)/ The way Gray utilized his technique was awesome, and I can't even get started on Lucy's Sagittarius Star Dress. SOOOO COOOOL!!$$

Again, I have to state Makarov's weakness... he does nothing! He even cried this time and he wasn't even included in the panel where Natsu & co show off their guild marks against Azeal at the end. It just bothers me. I hope he proves me wrong soon; possibly by beating one of the Spriggans. Makarov vs August would be sick!

Things I liked/enjoyed about this chapter:
 * Color cover. I loved the Spriggans' color schemes. All of them look awesome; Invel especially looks cooler when colored.
 * Azeal. He just works for me in every aspect.
 * Gray's Devil Slayer technique. So coooool.
 * Lucy's Sagittarius Star Dress. Bowmen (or bow women XP) are the coolest!
 * The fight. Considering we haven't had a proper fight in ages, this was pretty good. (Y)

Things I did not like about this chapter:
 * Makarov's weakness AGAAAAAAAIN!!
 * Natsu punching Azeal. If he beats Azeal I'll seriously cry. I hope Natsu gets taught a real lesson soon.
 * Azeal seems weaker than Brandish. Maybe it's just me, but I was really hoping that the Spriggans would almost be equally as strong.
