User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Episode 250: Tartaros arc: Erza vs. Minerva, Review/@comment-24277053-20150912120428

Another great episode, the anime is really making this arc even great which I thought was impossible.

Gray and Silver have gone to an undisclosed location and hopefully we find out what Silver's relationship to Gray is, I think Silver is either Gray's dad or son from the future.

And dam Happy is dense, doesn't he know what is on his head is not a mushroom, and Pantherlily is not any better realizing that, and I expect better from him.

Now to the meat of the episode, first of all 2000 Faces, dam and there might be more, maybe 7,777 Faces. And not only that but Mard Geer things, just keep getting worse and worse, Anyway I love Wendy's hair cut, for some reason she looks much older with shorter hair. I guess that is the only way she can look older, giving no development on the boobs.

The main fight of the episode, Erza vs Neo Minerva, not much just punching, but Minerva used her space magic, she has an awesome magic ability, why no use it? Something she didn't do at all in the Sun Village arc.

And every time we see Jiemma, he does the impossible, he makes me hate him more and thinking lower of him as a human being. Dam he sucks, I am little confused with the time line, I assumed the training that Minerva was pre Sabertooth, I was under the impression that Minerva and the other 4 already establish themselves before Sabertooth, but okay. They added some stuff here, and also took stuff away. They extended the training part, and Jiemma killed one of his own men, why is he allowed to be a guild master of a legal guild? But since they were adding stuff, I wish they included young Sting and Rogue and see how they interacted with young Minerva, which would be a great way to set up the last scene. I think they were all friends at one point before they all became jerks.

They took away Jiemma making Minerva strip and be naked in the forest. What is with this anime censoring nudity, the old anime didn't do that, they didn't cut Jiemma making Yukino strip. Though I understand the difference, what he did to Yukino, the nudity was the center part of his abuse, with Minerva he did so many other bad things, that making her strip would just be the icing on the cake.

Anyway the anime version of Minerva backstory is way better than the manga, the manga was brief, I had no time for any emotions, though the more time it made me hate Jiemma than feel sympathy for Minerva, not that I don't feel sympathy, I am just more angry than anything.

Mard Geer is back, and he is going to kill Erza and Minerva, and I think Neo Minerva is an example of Kyouka playing with humans too much, I don't think he was on board with the whole Neo Minerva thing. Looks like Minerva is going to die, but looks who shows up in the nick of time, but Sting and Rogue. I have to admit their entrance was pretty badass.

Sting and Rogue showing up is big, but the big news is Frosch it here.

Next episode, Sting and Rogue vs Mard Geer, and hopefully we will find out more about Gray and Silver.
