Fairy Tail: 100-nen Quest

For over one hundred years, a special quest has been waiting for a wizard skilled enough to complete it. On the northern continent of Guiltina, there are five immensely powerful Dragon Gods who possess great destructive force that can only be quelled by sealing them away. Natsu Dragneel and his friends from the Fairy Tail guild—Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Wendy Marvell, and the exceeds Happy and Charlés—consider this the perfect challenge to take on.

The Fairy Tail mages are not the only ones searching for the Dragon Gods. Diabolos, a guild exclusive for "Dragon Eaters," seeks to enhance their Dragon Slayer magic by devouring the dragons. Meanwhile, Fairy Tail's newest addition, Touka, appears to be hiding something sinister from her new companions—and her secrets may bring disaster to the guild while its strongest wizards are away.

Tbh, this was a justice to the Fairy Tail story this continuation and the Anime made it even better!

J.C.Staff finally gave life to the Fairy Tail anime and I seriously almost cried when I could see such beautiful and finally dynamic fights in this Shounen story, and of course it's not perfect, but it was a million times better than season 2 and season 3!

Hiro sensei did a justice by continuing to write stories, because with this the basic story improves a lot, and J.C.Staff gave justice to its Anime and with this Fairy Tail can really come back from the ashes! So it can ... be said that Fairy Tail is back! !!!

Just like with My Hero Academy, its last chapter saved the series from a horrible ending!

A few words about why I think Fairy Tail is back:
The ending was simply rushed! E.N.D was not used, Gray's demon power, Zeref, or Acnologia's fight...ooh boy I won't even comment on that, which is pointless to talk about anymore, because I feel like the white mage 5 dragons will be the ones who fix the fate of 2 of the best written characters during the 100 missions.
Rushing was just one mistake for the basic story, another was when Hiro sensei created a big world, but didn't use it and 80% of the plot always took place in the same place and the 100th mission immediately took our characters to a new continent and that's what I call a great start! We finally left Ishgal!
If they write it well, Acno and Zeref, the world and the story can get a better ending with the 100th mission. They immediately started fixing the main mistakes that were messed up in the Alvarez arc!


Not to mention that finally not only the 2 cats 5 characters get playing time, but everyone and I liked the whole Guild fought the dragon so no one is left out of the party! It was a smart move, and I only missed Gildtars, although he was there, but that's not how I wanted to see him ^˘.

Laxus didn't get as much time as in the main story, but not just him, but everyone from the guild. Gajeella vs Aldoron is also great, or the weakest got something and these were all very well written and of course the romantic threads are progressing well Erza x Jellal, Gajel x Levi, even Juvia and Gray, how much development is happening and it's so fun to read now and of course I haven't even mentioned the 5 dragons or Hiro sensei's god level comedy!

So, there's more to say about this and I can't bring up anything negative about this arc! I'm not kidding! It's one of those sequels that I think is a good decision.

Welcome back Fairy Tail and Natsu ˇ^ .

Mixed Feelings

If I could describe Fairy Tail: 100 years quest with few words: a decent anime with flaws.

Story: The plot was pretty easy to follow, and the side events didn’t feel so out of place. Even so, the comedy was overtaking the plot and while the gags were funny, it kind of made some ‘serious’ moments seem like another joke. There were one or two exceptions that did feel like they were taken seriously, but those scenes are very few.
Another issue I found in Fairy Tail: 100 years quest is how the fights are handled. In this series and even on the past seasons, ... there are occasions where an opponent could effortlessly overpower the main cast, but is then quickly defeated out of convenience. It unfortunately feels less immersive to know that the threat is all bark and no bite. There is one character that feels very intimidating and I hope that she doesn’t fall in this genre of antagonist.
On the other hand, there was a lot of improvement in romance. 100 years quest was amazing at creating instances of cute romance, some were even touching. I would even say that the romantic subplots are handled way better than the action. There was also an expansion on the worldbuilding which made things more interesting.

Art: Although the art didn’t stand out at all, I do think that the simple pastel shonen look fit well with Fairy Tail: 100 years quest. Since this series is slightly more lighthearted, it makes sense that the art looks softer.
The issue comes with the wonky fights. Wonky might be a harsh word, but looking at J.C.Staff’s other works (like Danmachi) make it seem like they didn’t take the animation as priority. Supposedly hard blows don’t feel impactful, it’s like the character didn’t have intentions to attack at all. It’s the case for quite a big number of confrontations. Even if the animation looks stiff at times, the fighting choreography is fluid and natural. The backgrounds blend well with the characters and look pretty decent, but nothing out of the ordinary.
There isn’t a drastic change in the character design, but I found the Diabolos designs to be memorable and decent. Both the human and dragon forms of the dragons were pretty good too.

Sound: There is not much to say about Fairy Tail: 100 years quest Japanese voice acting, it’s the same VAs for most characters and they know them like the back of their hand. The VAs that voiced new characters did a really good job and felt fitting for their personalities.
The Ost was actually really well composed. But while most songs blend in, there is one song in the action sequence that stood out. I’ll describe it as a music filled with hype that could bring motivation at the gym.
The first opening felt as good as Fairy Tail’s previous openings; it really was a jam. Unfortunately, the second opening didn’t live up to the first and felt forgettable.

Character: Because of the romantic aspect, there was changes, subtle or not, about some relationships. I liked how it wasn’t just fanservice, the characters had more meaningful interactions and we got to see a lot of those, even on side characters. New characters like Merhobia and especially Suzaku were likable and had solid personalities. I also found Selene’s personality and aura intimidating and powerful. Although some could be kind of annoying, but I’m pretty sure that those unimportant characters were not made to be anyone’s favorite.
Surprisingly, there was a lot of characters that I never thought would show up again but did. The best part is that their appearance made sense and they still had the same charisma.

Enjoyment: It was an ambivalent watch. At moments, I was rolling my eyes and on others pausing the episode out of happiness. I have to it that some episodes were on the brink of being tolerable and those are more than the ones I enjoyed. Fairy Tail: 100 years quest is an anime that only long-term fans of Fairy Tail can enjoy watching but that’s probably because of the coupling and that we have an attachment to Fairy Tail in general. I’m not confident to say that it’s the same for people that don’t love Fairy Tail or those that expect the same quality as the previous seasons.

Fairy tail, or Fatry tail as the anime itself spelled the name in the first minute of the first episode, is back with yet another season after its final season ended a little less than five years ago. Important to know is that this season is not complete and seems like a part 1 that would require another 25 episodes to finish.

At a glance the story of 100 year quest actually sounds exciting and the first episode definitely got me interested in the anime. Sadly the execution of the story leaves a lot to be desired and it's completely filled with nonsensical actions. A ... huge problem is that character power levels are very inconsistent. I understand that I'm not watching one-punch man but the people that beat an entire continent shouldn't just lose to some random wizards so they get kidnapped and the story progresses. You made the characters OP, now deal with the consequences instead of breaking the continuity of the series to make them lose fights they really shouldn't lose. Speaking of which, the entire story of this season goes against previously established facts since Acnologia kept track of how many dragons/dragon slayers remained during the final season. The story also feels lazy at times: the trope of an exact replica of every Fairy tail member existing but with a different personality was already thoroughly and properly explored in Edolas but its revisited again here without justification or explanation for a single episode long joke. Deus ex machina are somewhat expected in fairy tail but I feel like in the past they were at least slightly established or justified before they were used. This season had the first deus ex machina that actively bothered me since it came out of nowhere with no real justification. There is once again a lot of fanservice in the anime which is expected of fairy tail. The fanservice seemed worse though, someone being flashed off-screen isn't really fanservice and at times it was very intrusive, interrupting the flow of a battle multiple times per episode. Another annoyance was that the anime used anachronisctic elements like 'integer overflow'. The one thing that seems better in this season is the romance so if you're excited about Juvia and Gray or Gajeel and Levy then that might be a nice plus.

The characters changed quite a lot and mostly for the worse. Natsu is now hesitant to eat flames (yes really), Plue suddenly has a great sense of smell that somehow never came up even once in the previous 300 episodes and guild actively congratulate a girl who mind-controlled Fairy tail and made them fight each other. Overall some characters feel like mild parodies of themselves. A small positive is that character's relationships do seem to progress which is a nice touch. A pretty huge problem is that characters don't have to figure things out themselves anymore. The anime frequently throws in a needless deus ex machina for a ghost or something to just explain the enemy's power instead of the characters figuring it out for themselves. So instead of a struggle to figure out how something works they just pause the game and look it up on the internet which makes the fights way less fun to watch. Alongside this, characters massively overexplain their actions and magic and it's just stupid to explain your strengths and weaknesses to your enemy. I do understand that some explanation is necessary but the anime currently treats the viewers as if their shoe size is larger than their IQ. Another problem that the anime has it that it can't help but bring back old characters that are dead or otherwise unavailable. People are dead when they die, you can't just bring them back every few episodes to make the anime 'more interesting' or whatever. The new characters that do get introduced are alright overall but the main villains so fair haven't been as compelling as the previous ones.

The music was worse than in the previous seasons. The timing was off and the proper theme only appeared like twice while a way less interesting song was used during most battles.

The animation is different. Characters look different, sometimes better, sometimes worse. Overall I feel like the animation is slightly lower quality since there's less consistency in the animation. On one hand I think the animation in previous seasons suited the anime more but that might be because I was used to that, on the other hand this animation has its own charm and sometimes looked cute. I don't feel like the fights looked as good as in the previous seasons.

Overall this season differs in many aspects of the original series: The story can't exist, characters have different personalities/characteristics and even the music and animation are different. In return for this deviation you get an anime with a cool premise but with pretty poor and illogical storytelling that wasn't very fun to watch. I recommend letting the final season remain the final season and to not let the changed characters or story ruin the original series for you. If you do end up watching it, maybe try treating it as a different universe with very similar characters so the dissonance doesn't detract from the story.
