User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Episode 266: Fairy Tail Zero: Fairies in Your Heart, Review/@comment-7418318-20160109084208

I wish they'd cut back on the giant-head-on-children a bit, but that's just a nitpick (and one that goes to Mashima, since the animators only took it over from the original).

Really nice episode and with the music going for a slightly (or not so slightly in some place) different tone it also feels different than regular Fairy Tail episodes, but not so differen that it'd feel like a different series. In other words they hit the right spot with it.
