I am surprised they did such a bad job at animating this. The effects are cheap looking yet exaggerated, and the character animation is inconsistent.While Hirano turned out a lot better than I imagined as Lucy, Happy just sounded wrong. I always imagined (and liked) Happy having a rough voice like a pirate with his usual "Aye" and all, but it was replaced by kiddy squealing.

I was only intending to watch this to see Erza animated, but at this rate, it will only tarnish the image of her in my mind. This series is therefore dropped.
