Was a great surprise to get a double dosage of Fairy Tail goodness in one week, not to mention Mashima pulled out the color pages and extended the chapter.
Meldy pushed Lluvia's berserk button HARD. It'll be good to see her get an actual fight considering she hasn't had one since Gray. When the proper incentive is given people better watch out for Iceboy's #1 Fangirl! Even the Mighty Titania was shaking in her boots, ironically enough she's as shy as a mouse in front of her crush.
Gray knows Cana better than anyone, they're the oldest members of the current generation of Fairy Tail. The plot has finally caught up to him and Ultear is now registered on his radar. No way he lets the familial resemblance go and then drama commences.
Natsu refusing to back down shows that despite his wild nature he's the burning will of Fairy Tail keeping it afloat in one of their most desperate times yet. Mest returning to assist the guild was considerate of him and was good character growth on his part.
Bluenote is up there in the top 3 of Grimoire alongside Hades and Ultear. I'm going to have to agree with mentions already stated and say a fight with Gildartz sounds like a destructive meeting of incomparable forces. After Meldy is finished things are going to heat up big time, as if that hasn't happened multiple times already.
At this point I have no idea where things go after the next fight. Whether Rose and Azuma get finished off here this arc, or if Ultear reaches the ship and Grimoire pack things up and leave. Hades plan to attack all of Fairy Tail with one blow sounds like it will have some lasting ramifications.
I'm going to have to say with the mood this arc has conveyed so far something majorly bad is going to go down towards the end revolving around Cana which may even be her fault, because she's letting her S-Class obsession take priority over the well being of her friends.
I'd like to see Grimoire survive and keep Fairy Tail on their toes from now on, they're the most promising antagonists the manga has had to offer so far.
