It's been a while since I've done one of these. Still I won't bother with the previous chapters for obvious reasons -f*cking Garou Knights- but I can sum them up in a few simple words. Chapter 310: Absolute Bull Sh*t! Chapter 311: Hey look plot armor and hooded Lucy. Yes Mavis cry, CRY! Threesome. Anyway I'm glad that the fight ended up like it did but I can't help but feel that the was something else about this chapter. It was something completely predictable and so unsurprising that it became trivia and just got in the way of the fight. Maybe as I go on the essay will remind me but as of now lets just begin already.

Now after waiting an extra week for this chapter I couldn't really enjoy it as much as I should have but hot damn this was one hell of a chapter just because of these three maidens. The fight was beautiful, unlike that thing beside Lucy on the cover, and all was to play for with even there own teammates doubting their success, well apart from Rufus who was a confident in his guild's power as ever but from what happened next he probably had good reason to be. Now after all three clashed it was on. Blows were dealt out everywhere and as soon as one mage got the upper hand over the other, the third mage would rush in to knock her straight off the top position! I really got what I asked for out of this chapter as after the crap with team Mira, we actually get to see a decent battle. I almost forgot what they looked like in Fairy Tail but this was so satisfying. Just because of how good the action has been so far I really don't care who wins even though Erza is my favorite out if the three, of just how they win. I really was glad just to see such an epic fight take place and whats even better is how it will be longer then the Rufus and Gray fight. It really just is a prolonged Rufus vs Gray with added epicness and fan service for the lads isn't it? Nevertheless I can't get over how happy I am about this chapter. Faith in Fairy Tail restored you could say. Anyway I must say Minerva stood out the most in this fight, looking further into what her magic can do, holding up and possibly doing even better then Kagura and Erza. I my favorite part of the fight and possibly the final day had to be reveal of Minerva's Magic and her Yagdo Rigora. That blast was epic even making Jura shocked at it's power and the six-armed deity shown when the attack was executed looked amazing but I never thought the Hiro would be a fan of Asura's Wrath but hey I love that game so I ain't complaining. Also Juvia and Cheila were so funny when the attack by Sabertooth's fair lady was unleashed. Anyway knowing that Kagura and Erza were still ready to fight after that attack got my blood pumping for more carnage and what Minerva did next really lived up to her cruel nature. Poor Millianna being catnapped should make the rest of this fight really interesting but one thing still bugs me, WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH MINERVA AND CATS!?!?! Is Hiro trying to make a running gag about her hating cats or is she into some really messed up stuff? Who knows but I've probably said this a lot but I can't wait for the next chapter. SH*T IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN! and with Rage flowing through Erza and Kagura I believe Minerva got what see wanted. Epic.

Now on to more trivial matters with the Princess, Datong and Team Mira. So we cut to the Jade Princess and Datong discussing the future she was told by the hooded figure, but it could possibly be somebody else as she never directly said that she told her about it I think. Maybe Zeref is involved in the past? Still it was a relief to hear that the GMG will end before everything goes tits up so hooray for the current good characters of the series. Anyway after they continue talking about something which only made me happy because of fights, we cut to where we left Team Mira to see the Hood Figure finally remove her hood to us. I felt close to nothing. The result was too predictable, especially after Yukino was ruled out, and it was left for so long that didn't feel anything. I also didn't like how basically the Hooded Figure was forgotten through the last few chapters until 311 had her appear again as it left me with little reason to care about her and the obviousness of her identity was just boring. Now if you didn't guess Lucy would be the Hooded Figure then shame on you, you probably believed the world would end of Friday too. Anyway wasn't shocked like most hopefully and execution wasn't anything special either. Still with this I guess Lucy is the new Jellal and speaking of Jellal, where the hell is he? If the GMG's outcome was meant to be unbelievable, having Jellal compete in the end would have been pretty outrageous. Still I was really disappointed with the reveal, partially because of Lucy being the obvious route and the poorly done build up but mainly the dull execution finished it however I hope I feel better about it by next week but there's one thing I have hope for with this information. If the Eclipse Gate will be used if the outcome is outrageous hopefully that outcome revolves around a Fairy Tail's defeat so when they use the Eclipse to go back in time the next outcome can possibly involve their victory. I just think it would be cool to see something unbelievable from another team as it would be unbelievable to see Hiro let fairy Tail lose. I hope things turn around next time.

Now to sum up a great start opening with lovely battle with great action and a cruel yet very enjoyable cliffhanger however a boring second half and a failed big reveal leaving me with little shock whatsoever. Fast start, slow end, kind of like the opposite of The Hobbit movie but at least with The Hobbit I didn't find anything wrong with the slow parts. Also the filler parts were much more enjoyable then any filler Fairy Tail have used. Still I want to see more of Minerva and Erza and hopefully Kagura's past. Still I'm hoping to see the true results of Erza's second origin and more of Minerva's spells but if I see her use a lighting spell with the deity-like being having nunchucks, I now that something has fishy has been going on.
