Pretty good filler fight. Like you said: Great, intense action, pretty nice animation, even blood and an interesting finish. I prefer this outcome over Gray's insta-kill o_o (Though, I would have prefered if Laxus managed to just halt Tempester until Gray uses that sword technique). Laxus looked good, Gray some-what looked good... however... Gajeel on the other hand was so useless here. The anime team should have at least had him stand and stumble in attempt to help Laxus; instead of shouting "LAXUSSSS" as he watches him get plummeted in the chest >.>.
