This is a review for Fairy Tail Episode 179: Gray vs. Rufus.

Our Fairy Tail stripper enters the library and finds none other than Rufus of Sabertooth. Keep in mind that Rufus whooped Gray's ass during the first event. However, Rufus doesn't give a shit and just continues reading his books. We get a little flashback of the conversation prior to the battle, with Gray confirming that he will win with...his feelings! Anyway, the battle is quick to begin, and as expected, Rufus easily overpowers Gray with his memorization Magic while at the same time learning new Magic from books. After Gray's VA shouts random shit (is it me or is he shouting more than usual? Before his VA seemed like a w/e VA. >__>), Rufus overpowers him yet again.

Meanwhile, the Rescue Team is underground thinking of ways to escape, Happy coming up with one of his great ideas (make a book, Happy). Anyway, the Episode pretty much shows Gray getting beat by Rufus until the last minute while the Rescue Team is underground looking for things. Ultimately, Gray beats Rufus with his finishing move.

I gave the animation an 8 because, well, you gotta hand it to them for making some new and cool spells. But at the same time, it looked shitty. I'm kinda hoping this arc ends quick. Too many characters to animate and the amount of content appears to be too much for these studios. Story gets a 5... No thank you for showing Juvia in just about every other second of the Episode. And the underground thing was meh. Funny, but meh. >__> Fight category gets a 5. I didn't like how they animated the fight. I hope it doesn't continue like this. It didn't look like a fight. Just static images (god that ending was terrible). Overall, the Episode was nice, but so much shit was going in-between that it got annoying. Juvia appearing every other second was not needed.

Of course, that's just my opinion. I'd like to hear yours.
