Fairy Tail

At Zen’s Reminder I forgot to announce this the other day. The popular shounen manga Fairy Tail  has been green-lit as an anime for this Fall.

The manga’s story follows a teenaged girl named Lucy Heartfilia who aims to join the world’s most notorious mage guild, Fairy Tail. During a daring rescue, Lucy encounters Natsu “Salamander” Dragneel, a quirky Fairy Tail member and a teenaged practitioner of the ancient Dragon Slayer magic. Lucy is eventually welcomed into the Fairy Tail guild as she, Natsu, and other members go on various quests together.

I’ve heard mixed things about this series. I have one friend who loves it with a passion, and one friend who hates it… of course the one who hates it is a One Piece addict, and might hate it since the art is a clear rip off of that series. In my case, after I heard this mangaka was also responsible for the series Rave Master I decided there was no way I was watching it xD But good news for the fans it seems.

    Man I can’t believe you hate Rave Master, I agree that the show is a complete 1/10 bad, but the manga was 9/10 great. Whoever animated Rave Master clearly did not know how to make an anime.

    @ The Dude: Actually all I saw was the English Dub on Cartoon network xD
    But Like One Peice it has been tainted and I have no desire to watch the original now.

    Two chapters ago in the manga, they announced the voice cast for the main characters;
    Lucy Hearfilia: Aya Hirano
    Natsu Dragneel: Tetsuya Kakihara
    Erza Scarlet: Sayaka Ohara
    Gray Fullbuster: Yuuichi Nakamura
    Happy: Rie Kugimiya

    So it’s a very big cast they have got doing this.

    1st off yes it is a little like one piece in that everyone has a different power and all serve in a guild, but none of the characters save Natsu/Luffy and Lucy/Nami are even similar too One Piece. Also I think both of them are amazing in their own aspects. Not to mention later in the series they will probably each go their separate ways. And I heard something about it comin’ out in October (maybe I’m being to hopeful) but that would be awesome. Does anyone have any idea how many chapters they are going to write I hope it’s at least as long as One Piece.

    Wow this is cool

    i’ve been reading this manga for a while and yeah its like one piece a lot it’s also kinda funny since i’m a one piece fan that i pretend some characters from one piece are in it like captain smoker or sanji lol but oh well its a good book no one should hate it and say it’s a rip off
    because when i was little maybe like 11 years old i thought one piece was a piece of crap and the characters were crap but thats what i thought from anime insider when i saw it on TV like the first episode showed i asked my friend whats this anime and he was like “oh thats one piece” and thats when i became a fan LOL

    Well yea a friend introduced fairy tail to me like late 07 but seeing dat it was like a one piece rip off and i didn’t touch on it till very recently earlier this year where i was darn bored and started reading it. Became hooked and an addict LOL. Well even though it seems like a one piece rip off but its s great story. Mashima-sama’s juz as gifted as Oda. Rave master’s manga’s excellent as well..though the anime’s somwhat disappointing. And to the guy who said that one piece lost its way…dun watch it if ur impatient and dun appreciate Oda’s work. I’ve been reading the bloody manga since i was 11 back in 01 and i nvr stopped reading or watching the anime since then.

    PLS SHOW UR SUPPORT BY BUYING THE MANGA”S AND ANIME WEN THEY”RE RELEASED!!!!

    y’know, for those who say fairy tail’s like one piece is just plan stupid or don’t know manga! to tell you the truth, if you look at it…sure, both of them have similar drawings and themes, but try to compare air gear and death note! i know their storylines are different, but they both have great texture in drawings and nude scenes, so you can’t say fairy tail and one piece are the same. and besides, the theme of these two is comedy and both of them were inspired by the guy who made dragonball! :)

    it’s me again, fairy tail is the shit! WOO~HOO!!!

  • studentxiii@yahoo.com said:

    and judging by the anime poster, i would suggest that fairy tail might go half way into the manga, then makes things up into the end (like fullmetal alchemist season one) but if not, they’ll probably adapt the entire series, and add like super long fillers to buy time for hiro!
    (sigh~!!) oh dear me! why can’t the anime come up sooner? oh wait, in fall by in what month, i wonder?

  • studentxiii@yahoo.com said:

    and gray will go for that girl phantom girl…and erza with gerard!! :D and, and, and…!!

    @studentxiii@yahoo.com

    just… WOW.

    I don’t think they’ll go into anime-original arcs though.

    There’s at least a few arcs to go through and that should last them around 70-100 episodes. If they’d stop halfway there, it’ll be good.

    the art is a rip off because both the fairytail and the onepiece manga autohrs are fridnds and they were both inspired byt toriyama’s dragonballz

    Simply, Fairy Tail is just copying and yeah, a clear rip off of One Piece!!

    One thing that makes Fairy Tail is so damn popular is just because it copied the greatest manga ever!!
