You were saying? You can't carbon-copy anything, but this is a damn sight more close than the other one. Let's look at Gray, whom the first anime could never figure out how they wanted to animate.

I could also direct you to any scene in the first anime where Natsu ignites his fists vs. any one in this new one. Or really, just about any character who has a look consistent with the one Mashima gave them. And you were also talking about Sayla?

That's pretty accurate. XP Though the opening made her look a little more deadly. Episode 234 will give her a proper intro.
