I like how Wendy was handled throughout the arc, though Carla's instantly turning into a "super-farseer" who can sift through billions upon billions of possible combinations in seconds was... less than satisfying.

With Minerva I think there was either too much setup or too little fight. Mashima brilliantly build up expectations for this "big showdown" between Erza and Minerva and then the powered-up Neo Minerva gives up after just three punches and a bit of talking...

I am fine with the way the scenes went after that last (= third -_- ) punch, but what came before that was disappointing. This could have been done like the Erza tai Erza fight, with both of them exhausting their magic and in the end having nothing left to pit at each other but bare muscle. Or if Erza still needs some reserves for the coming fights, let at least Minerva exhaust herself with Erza holding back. Maybe let Erza throw a corny line like "If you can't use magic anymore, neither will I."
