User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Episode 172: The Perfume Dedicated To You, Review/@comment-1776824-20130309220937

I didn't think the animation was horrible, although the characters did look a little static quite a bit. I completely lost it when I saw their, for lack of a better word, "backstory". I thought it was really cool watching Ichiya go Super Saiyan. I enjoyed that part thoroughly. But, overall, the episode was, yeah, 90% gay. -___-

Don't think, however, I didn't enjoy episode. It was better than the others we've had, but it wasn't as good as Naval Battle, that's for sure. It's really hard to follow that up, especially when the stuff before it was so poor. It was standard, and I can only hope that the Battle of Dragon Slayers is even better than Naval Battle.
