Woah! I get home from work, read the two chapters and it's already 122 comments? oO

Sorry, but there's no way I'm going to read all of the right now, so I might repeat what others have said already...

So the shocking moment was when Gray turned all "Oh-kawaii-Frosch"? Granted that's far from what I expected, but it really was shocking in it's own right. Though I suppose people were referring to the whole Natsu=E.N.D. and Zeref Dragneel and Human-form Acnologia, which I found mildly surprising, but not really shocking. I guess the former might have been a shock if Zeref hadn't called Natsu E.N.D. at the end of the Tartarus arc.

Not much else to say about Virctory Shout that Raven hasn't said already, so I'll move right into Memoires.

First off a bit YAY! to Mashima for Zeref backstory from 400+ years ago. I can't wait to see the teased "How Natsu ended up with Igneel" flashback. We already know his relationship with Mavis (or at least part of it) already from Zero.

I'm midly disappointed that Zeref gained both immortality and the curse by offending a divine being or something else out of his control. I would have preferred for him to have found the secret of immortality by his own efforts and the curse being an unforseen negative side-effect, but that's just a minor issue.

So Acnologia can turn into a Human shape? If that's the case why where the Dragons so worried about Dragonification? Did they fear their children would also lose their minds and turn (personailty-wise) into monsters addicted to destruction? I do like the idea of Dragonified Humans being able to turn back into their old shapes. It also explains how Acnologia could remain undetected for 400 years save for the times when he went on rampages.

But I guess with this I have a pretty good idea how the movie will likely end: Natsu will turn into a Dragon to beat the villains. After doing so he loses his mind and goes on a destruction-spree. Lucy will jump onto his back (probably with Happy's help), talk to him and somehow that'll be enough to bring his mind back after which he returns to his Human shape vowing to never turn into a Dragon again.

So to sum it up, some very minor gripes, but overall the two chapters made a good impression.

The next chapter is called "Magnolia". That probably means the Guild will be revived for good.
