The fight Erza put up was good, even if there were a lot of fanservice-pseudo-hentai shots. XD
But I didn't mind very much. Glad that the catgirl armor has some use after all.
I kinda hope she will get up again eventually for a rematch.

Guess you guys were right about Jellal returning, and I am happy for you. And even though I am not sold on E/J, I am genuinely interested how his plot will continue. At least there's always plenty of drama. XD

I just don't want any man to rescue Erza! >:(

LOL, I didn't even pay attention to such shots because to me, the drama of the fight was just that good. Well there was that one very obvious panel of the seduction armour. (And LOL, she cares if Lucy sees? XDDD)

Yay, I get to be right about something! XD Well he didn't die and he didn't go out as a true villain so Mashima kinda had to something with him given the strong ties to Erza. Maybe now (or in the near future) we'll see some pleasing development for him ( ... )

I guess I am really sensitive to that stuff. That part at the end where the roots catch her really looks like textbook tentacle rape.
As to Lucy, that was just Mashima's usasl Les Yay ar work. XD

His appearance might as well be foreshadowing for future arcs, like with Laxus.

Well, TBH, most of Erza's development in the past was related to Jellal. He kinda is her "dramatic issue she needs to resolve", same as Gray's ties with Ur and ultimately Ultear. I guess Natsu and Lucy are harder to pin down, but with Lucy it used to be her father, and that is now over for good, it seems.
I am interested if Jellal and Erza will hook up before the series ends, and how that would look like. Also, if he will ever remember, or if his personality will get more fleshed out. And of course, there's the question whether Erza will let herself love him despite her commitment to justice being dolled out and such.

Glad you are with me on this one!

I guess I'm not sensitive enough to it. That's probably a good thing. XD ( ... )

Maybe? At the very least, I can lol at the pandering because I always manage to see it, like a drooling fanboy who actively looks for it ( ... )

I wouldn't mind more Erza fanservice, but I don't care too much for Lucy fanservice. XD ( ... )

Well, you like Erza and find her sexy, while you're "meh" on Lucy, so it makes perfect sense to me ( ... )

I can't help it. Lucy just isn't the sort of character I easily fall for. She's not horrible or anything, she has a lot of good traits but...meh. XD ( ... )

I guess I find Lucy a bit... generic. Granted, I really appreciate that, despite her probably ending up with Natsu eventually, she is not absorbed with crushing on him, and is more about friendship and wanting to be an author (which is totally awesome, btw). And I enjoy many of her interactions with other characters, especially Juvia. Xd ( ... )

Yes, I do love that Lucy wants to be an author! :D The girl has brains and strength, that I must admit, but I find it difficult to try love her as a heroine. LOL, I can't see Natsu with anyone. XD ( ... )
