I guess they wanted to sync Laxus' attack with Mavis' speech.

As for Starlight, I thought it was done well enough, it will look good on a gif, however, I still have no idea how to hande the static image .-.

I'm not even gonna complain about the preview, most people who care already know not to watch it if they don't want to be spoiled, hell, some of them even skip the opening.
