Do you remember when the Fairy Tail manga sent a core group of adventurers on quests for character development, fanservice, and small revelations about their pasts affecting the wizarding world? It was fun! Then the story’s endgame started, and we only saw villains torturing children and dark magicians teaming up with evil living disasters to destroy the world. We still had scenes of cleavage and underboob, but battle wounds and scrapes put a damper on those fanservice moments. Then, the mages of the Fairy Tail Wizards Guild defeated Zeref and Acnologia, bringing peace back to the world. What do you do for an encore? You tackle the legendary quest no one has completed in one hundred years! That’s how the low-stakes Fairy Tail spinoff, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, starts.

Hiro Mashima, the Fairy Tail manga’s writer and artist, had moved on to focus on his next project, Edens Zero. But he still had time to write the basic structure of 100 Years Quest. His longtime assistant, Atsuo Ueda, handled the art. And now that manga spinoff has an anime adaptation. What’s the premise? Five dragons on another continent need “sealing.” The original core cast returns to voice Natsu, Happy, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Wendy, and Charle as they go on another quest of a lifetime.
As a fan of Fairy Tail’s characters and art, I’ve already planned my eyeball time for this series. What if you’re a casual fan or haven’t seen the original? What would entice you to watch this generic wizards and dragons fantasy tale? Read on for what makes Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest a must-watch for otaku of culture.
Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Has All the Fun Bits of the Original

Hiro Mashima’s works have a signature sense of humor relying on sight gags and reactions. He bases much of it on enjoying sexy ladies’ body parts! But Mashima’s tone during the slice-of-life parts of Fairy Tail is light and playful. That continues in Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest. Older men leer at young women. Ladies are competitive about the ardentness of their feelings for their respective paramours. Talking fishes wearing lipstick are ridiculous or commonplace, depending on the context. Allegedly serious characters wear funny costumes as a running gag. Is that shonen kind of humor in your wheelhouse? Then, this anime spinoff will smack your funny bone.

J.C. Staff, which produces Edens Zero, takes over from A-1 Pictures’s animation duties for the final season of Fairy Tail (2018). Yuriko Sako, who handles the anime character designs for Edens Zero, will keep things consistent between the two anime for Hiro Mashima’s manga sources. Why does it matter that the characters look the same? Because unabashed shonen fanservice is back on the television screen!

Yes, yes. The boys have muscles and diamond-sharp abs, too. But the ladies. Oh, the ladies of Hiro Mashima’s works! Only two episodes in, and we have swimsuits for everyone! Do you think it was an accident our wizards aimed for the Water Dragon as the first target of five? Of course not! Even the baddie Dragon Eater must wear a bikini in her introduction. Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest continues the fanservice traditions of its spinoff source.
So, the girls look great, but I’m only here for one person. She’s the main character of Fairy Tail, you know.

I have a challenge for you, Fairy Tail fans. Go to the manga’s first chapter and reread every narrator’s note to the last chapter with Aya Hirano’s voice (Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) in your head. How does that hit your heart? Aspiring novelist Lucy Heartfilia is now an award-winning bestseller in Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest. We know she’s the author of Fairy Tail’s adventures in magic and nakama power. She’s the heart and center of Fairy Tail, and I’m just fanboying over her return to anime. Let us rejoice in the new market of outfits for Lucy’s Zodiac Constellation Dresses (Swimsuit Versions). My body is ready. Is yours?
