Fairy Tail x Rave

While on a mission to find and defeat a troublesome mage, several of the Fairy Tail guild are split up in an unfamiliar town. At the same time, Haru, Elie, and the rest of their group are also separated. In a fortunate turn of events, Elie runs into Lucy and Happy, who are looking for Natsu. Meanwhile, Haru stumbles upon Natsu, who is struggling with motion sickness. Although she seems friendly, Elie matches the description of the troublemaker that the Fairy Tail were assigned to locate. To make matters worse, Natsu learns of Haru's relationship with her and suspects them to be accomplices.

In this crossover between two popular series, Fairy Tail x Rave follows the two groups as they discover their similarities with each other. As the miscommunications add up, they are pitted against one another in a heated clash of powers, but will have to work together against a common foe.

This is my first review and my grammar is usually pretty poor so sorry if this is bad. I'm writing this view mainly on the assumption you are a fan of either Rave or Fairy Tail.

*Fairy Tail x Rave takes place sometime after the Oración Seis arc in Fairy Tail and the Blue Guardians arc in Rave Master.

*If you've watched the Fairy Tail x Rave trailer then this should be spoiler free.

Story- As this is a crossover don't expect much story. The way the chain of events played out was decent but its not really the focus of this OVA anyway. Both Dark Bring ... and Magic are referenced throughout the show.

Art- No different than the usual Fairy Tail animation. There wasn't enough time to cover lots of moves typical of both Fairy Tail & Rave but what was there was done well. I especially enjoyed the animation on Haru's abilities.

Sound- The scores and VAs from both the Fairy Tail and Rave return and mix really well. There is an emphasis on FT's soundtrack but scores from Rave still do appear and are paced very well. I've always thought FTs sound track was excellent and FTxRave is no exception.

Characters- Even though it's not in a logical setting its an enjoyable experience to see some of my favorite characters mix together. With it being 25 minutes long there isn't enough time to cover each character thoroughly but regardless what is there is enjoyable. Nastu/Haru, Gray/Musica and Lucy/Ellie to an extent share characteristics so naturally mix together well. For Let, Julia and Wendy they all share Dragon-like abilities and its nice to see the brief companionship between them.

Enjoyment- Being a fan of both Rave and Fairy Tail I really enjoyed this. I was more excited to see the Rave characters animated with modern animation than anything else and it doesn't disappoint.

We all know that episodes devoted to crossovers of similar anime are always lots of fun, and Fairy Tail x Rave is no exception.

It might just be the feeling you get from watching crossovers, but seeing how your favorite characters interact with each-other, in an otherwise impossible situation is something thoroughly enjoyable. Natsu and Haru are very similar in characteristics and several other of Fairy tail and Rave get along with their similar characteristics.

As this is only a single episode, I can't really give much info. But I can safely say, that whether or not you're a Rave or Fairy tail fan ... (or Both) you will definitely enjoy this episode.

Mixed Feelings

Now almost 20 years since I first saw Rave, still stunning. A true timeless classic, exceptional, without doubt one of the best anime ever made. Well cast and a superb performance from all involved. We binge watched and loved this ova good thing it was only 24 min. Well thought out and quiet. Smart dialog without endless gunfire, chases and boobs. A thinking person’s who done it, it was Erza. Brought up some good questions about when it too late really too late, the answer it's never too late to revisit old friends. Who gets away with crime with these four around? Obviously ... some do. Cant wait for move ova with them together.
