User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Episode 264: Tartaros arc: Drops of Fire, Review/@comment-7418318-20151219101312

First off: I WANT THE NEXT OST TO COME OUT ALREADY!

With that being said it was a nice episode and a step up from the last few. The other Dragons weren't animated too good, but they were on screen only a short time each, so not too glaring.

What irks me is Milliana. First she's "I can't move" and out of breath, only to stand up straight and breathe normally just two seconds later... yeah, real smooth animators... real smooth.

"when Skiadrum flew over Crocus, I can only imagine them being like, ogod, not dragons again. -_- " Did they even reappear between being swallowed by F-Rogue's shadow and the ball? The regular soldiers sure (they are probably still traumatised about "Zirconis' Power" unless Doranbolt got to them ^^), but I'm not sure if the Garou Knights ever saw the Dragons.

That shot of Christine breaking through the clouds looked kinda cool, though for a change that is one scene they should have played a little bit slower.

But the major part of the episode, with Acnologia and Igneel battling it out was well done. The fighting, the intercutting of the flashbacks and the music all very nice. Maybe not perfect, but certainly nice.

And in the next ep the arc will come to an end. Lucy on the bridge is sure confirmation of that.

Off to Zero! (I think?)
