I for one, am happy.

Looking at all this, let's just see what we have:


 * People say they don't like that the eyes are over the hair. I just like that the eyes look like they're meant to, unlike the previous versions.
 * Natsu's fire looks consistent \( o__o)/ I said this about the movie's animation, but it's nice to see all of his spells looking the same, not done by fifty people. On top, the spells match the rest of the animation, unlike the previous company's work where his spells looked so out of place against the other parts of the frame.
 * THEY ARE USING THE OUTFITS MASHIMA DRAWS! Oh thank God!! I mean, the old guys were so lazy that they'd put Lucy into a different outfit at the start of an arc, and, unless a scene absolutely called for it, they'd leave her in it at all times, even though she switched outfits multiple times in the manga. Or worse, they'd change character clothes to be plain T's and track pants so that they didn't have to animate much >__>
 * The Dragons look good :) Much better than... *shudders* this D:
 * The background drawings. From this and the preview images, they look SO much closer to the manga, so thank God again.
 * Getting Jellal to do voice overs...

This is fucking awesome ( .__.)

I agree the colours are a little bland, but then again, most of the scenes were in dark places/dusty fire fights, so I'm going to wait and see a little longer. Besides, I've read from places outside here that people are kind of annoyed sometimes by the bright colours, because the manga is never that bright. Looking at Mashima's coloured work, this is usually the case, but I digress. I'm just happy with what we got :)

... *glances at clock* Shiiiiiit! Gotta get ready and get my train \( o__o)/
