'Fairy Tail' Surprises Fans With Series Sequel Announcement And Teaser Trailer

"Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest," the sequel of the hit manga and anime series "Fairy Tail," is finally getting its own anime adaptation. A teaser trailer has been released, offering fans a sneak peek of what to expect from the upcoming TV anime adaptation.

The "Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest" announcement was made by series creator Hiro Mashima at the recent "Hiro Mashima Fan Meeting." It was a six-hour-long live stream, which featured everything related to "Fairy Tail."

The sequel series follows the events of the spin-off manga "Fairy Tail: 100 Year Quest," which was released in 2018. The manga is moving to its 100th chapter since it was serialized by Kodansha Comics.

To celebrate the announcement of the sequel's anime adaptation, co-creator Atsuo Ueda shared on Twitter an illustration of the fan-favorite characters of the series. The sequel's original storyboards are penned by Mahima, while its illustrations are being handled by Ueda.

Unfortunately, information about the staff, episode order, cast, production studio or release details of the TV anime adaptation are not revealed. Fans, however, have been treated with a teaser trailer.

"Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest" is available on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket manga app. Kodansha USA released its English version, with eight volumes, on Sept. 28, 2019.

"Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Erza, and the whole Fairy Tail Guild are back in action! And they've decided to tackle the '100 Years Quest' — a job no one's dared take on since the founding of the guild more than a century ago. A mysterious town, a baffling spirit, a ghastly new enemy … and a brand new continent to explore. When you’re with real friends, the adventures never stop," the official manga description read.

Hiro Mashima's original "Fairy Tail" anime had more than 300 episodes that ended in 2019. The original manga has a total of 63 volumes. The first "Fairy Tail" manga series inspired three TV anime adaptations (its final season aired in 2018), two anime movies, multiple video anime projects and a spin-off manga.
