The animation for the Council members, Jellal and Meredy and Team Natsu (for the first half) flipped between nice and downright appalling imo. They seem to be able to do close-ups really well, but anything that is far enough back to reveal the shoulders just looks awkward.

Luckily though the animation stepped up as soon as the scene began with Oldtear walking down the road and Gray seeing her and Meredy crying in Jellal's arms, because I felt it was a really touching scene :,) I also liked the little bits they added - like Oldtear shaking her head to tell Gray just to keep going. Plus the music and the voice over were really good too. 'Tis a pity though that the first half of the episode couldn't have been just as good.

The filler seemed pretty nice too, and I didn't mind Gray's flashback because it actually had purpose (unlike other pointless flashbacks this team has used in the past *coughTOHcough*) though the Wendy-can't-use-her-Magic-right-now filler was BS >__>

Still, overall a nice ep, and I'd definitely watch the second half again, though only the second half. And omg... Meredy still has pink eyes >__> And yes, I am sill pissed off that she does, because that is a really freakin' easy mistake to fix, and I don't see why the team hasn't. W/e though...

Next week though. Looking forward to those two people meeting and I wanna see how the badass glare-down comes out (kinda scared for that tbh because the manga was awesome) but there also seems to be a lot of filler (wedding dress Lucy??) so we'll see what's to come.
