Pretty funny fanservice omake was released. Somehow it seemed to flow better than the real arcs of late. I doubt anything as such has changed in the series, but perhaps it's just the fact it stays so much the same that its getting stale already after so many chapters.

I especially liked how Natsu walked into the women's side in a nonchalant, business as usual manner heeding Erza's call. And of course the fact Erza called him there in the first place as if there was nothing strange about it, not bothering to cover herself at all when discussing with Natsu, nor paying any attention to Natsu's state of clothing. I bet it would have been a bit different for her if it had been Jellal entering the women's side... Lucy naturally ended up joining the unmindfulness once pushed far enough.
