By far the best episode FT have in a long while. The first anime have created such a great variety of great characters that is so good to see everyone back. Unfornutaly, this scene also reminds why this show is always going down lately. I couldn't even remember at least 1/3 of the characters there. Mashima should have stop creating characters and focusing more on developing the plot and the already existing characters on the series. Speaking of developing the series, this episode finally give us some clues of who Zeref really is and his motivations (even though I find those motivations kind of weak).

One of the best episodes for sure!
Natsu is Zeref's brother? omg wow

The 2nd part was as good, or even better.
It felt so great watching the whole guild back! And that soundtrack <3
Let's go Fairy Tail!

The best episode of this season so far. Zeref's backstory was interesting to see and everyone reuniting at the end was a great moment.

It was a nice episode. Also, it seems that there's not filler arcs. Okay, let's get ready to suffer the last arc.....together!

Liked the meeting between Arcologia and Zeref. The two badass whom END (Natsu ) is going to have to take down to save the world.
Raising the Fairy Tail flag with the guildd there was special

I'm the only one who forgot about Zeref because of the reunion?

I haven't wept for so long, this beautiful reunion made feel all kind of emotions with Lucy's beautiful deep voice reminds of Layla from Nana. 10/10

Back story of Zeref was interesting, so he stopped killing nature because he stopped caring about it. I don't understand that Man's character for real, is he good or bad.
he's not the hero you deserve, but the one we all need; a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

Zeref's past was pretty interesting. From spoilers I knew that Natsu was E.N.D (I think it was also mentioned in the last ep. of prequel season), but to think he was Zeref's brother shocked me a bit. So now it's makes sense why he was so surprised on Tenrou Island. Meeting Acknologia was also cool, though I had seen him in the second movie. The second part was really boring. There has been too much crying and drama to affect me anymore.

Neat to see some of Zeref's backstory, although the narration was an awkward way to do it. War with Zeref, Acnologia, and the humans. That's got me excited.

It's yet another time skip, the dissolution of the guild felt cheap in the first place, and as a viewing experience it doesn't feel like any time since the guild ended and now. The reunion really shouldn't have mattered to me, but I found it sweet and moving.

Guess I'm just a sucker.

And as usual, people who read the manga already know all those little bits of shocking information. XD
I'm still trying to figure out if it's more "WAIT WHAT" if you figure out by watching it or reading it... not sure which I'd prefer either.
And yeah, Natsu being E.N.D. was mentioned after the ending song in the last episode of the Tartaros arc.

That was an awesome episode. We knew Natsu was END from the end of last season, but there was still a ton revealed. Zeref has a really tragic past tbh. But even all that didn't overshadow the awesome Fairy Tail reunion. There's just something about this cast of characters that makes me love em.

Wow boy , loved this episode .What an emotional ride !! . Hmm , Natsu is Zerrefs brother , nice and informative flashback.

Loved the Oppais , as usual ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I have been watching perverted stuff waiting for new fairy tail season, so when they said they had to break up to finish some task , i had visions where Erza went to report Jellal , but ended up doing some Private business, and Juvia <shacked> Gray and all LOL .

I dont know why but it seems like gray is flirting with all the girls XD.

That crying and music in the end made me feel heavy.

Finally , Natsu has been looking at Lucy at lot. Guess he is finally loosing Asexuality and started to develop some feeling of physical attraction. I want him to stare at his girl more, a lot more XD

I stopped it and said, "what?" Backed up, re-watched it trying to figure out if Natsu was the dead brother brought back to life, or an etherion based non-human. This episode caught me out of left-field.

The reunion was nice, but I echo the sentiments of the earlier poster who said there've been so many it's hard to care by now. More time apart than just a handful of episodes (the important members didn't even get more than, like, three) might've made it more meaningful.

But man, that twist with Zeref and Natsu was the real shit. I was shook. I've wondered Natsu and Zeref's connection since the beginning of this series, but I wouldn't have expected anything like "pseudo-reincarnated magical brother created to kill his creator." That's some crazy shit, and the philosophical themes of life and death tangled in Zeref's past is very heavy for Fairy Tail standards.

I'm surprised and satisfied. Hopefully this doesn't fizzle anticlimactically as long-running themes tend to go in this series (Mystogan, the dragons... to name a couple).

Fairy Tail is getting back together! What an emotional moment this episode!

And Zeref's backstory? Woah, Natsu was his brother!? I actually spoiled this to myself once by accident, oopsy.

Also, a bit of foreshadowing for a fight, apparently between Natsu, Zeref and Acnologia? Last episode maybe? Interesting. Man I love this anime

Sabia que Natsu era END, pero no tenia la mas mínima idea que Zeref fuese su hermano mayor. Al fín Fairy Tail está de vuelta. Un largo año en el que todos tuvieron miedo de preguntar porque la desaparición de su hogar, pero que gracias al valor de Lucy y el apoyo de Natsu está reunión ha sido posible. Gracias Lucy por hacer esto posible. Eres una de los miembros más valiosos de Fairy Tail.
El próximo capítulo se ve que habrá risas reconstruyendo el gremio.

Zeref's backstory is interesting—also a very interesting revelation. I never thought Natsu was his bro. That explains why he was so emotional the first time they met. I was puzzled back then. No wonder Natsu has the potential to become so OP, regardless of him being the protagonist.
I'm looking forward to more interesting reveals in the future.
Anyway, As someone who desires to be immortal, I will never understand why they want to die when there are infinite things to do as an immortal.

I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED LIKE THIS!!!! NATSU IS ZEREF'S LIL BRO?!?!?!?!
This just... it hurts yo... Zeref got cursed for trying to revive his brother, and now after finally reviving his brother, has to kill Zeref, which goes directly counter to Natsu who is all about bonds and.... damn.... my house just got washed away by a flash flood thanks to this revelation that makes sense but Q_Q

Otherwise not really anything new since we already knew about Zeref's curse, why he made those books with END which we already knew was Natsu being no exception.
I believe where/when he got the curse was new and interesting. I don't really understand why the place got punished along with Zeref on the expelling, honestly, not sure what they were hoping for by expelling him as he would likely keep studying.

Was good reminder that I'm not the confused one, it's the zealots of Zeref. Zeref is a good guy. He only claims to want to kill everyone, because with that desire, his curse won't kill anyone. As we already knew, final battle will be between Dragon (Acnologia), Immortal (Zeref Dragneel) and Human (Natsu Dragneel), I'm really looking forward to it but now am really emotional knowing those two are bros and.... Q_Q

4/5, was mostly fluff/reminders, but damn. I did get a little emotional like Lucy, but I couldn't connect as much.

So the demons he created were to kill him not to destroy the world and Natsu was once human and brother of Zeref who died but now Zeref has revived him again to kill him is that correct or am I tripping?
