Fairy Tail‘s highly anticipated sequel Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest is finally getting an anime, resurrecting one of the biggest shonen series of the 2010s. Fairy Tail was highly influential during its time, as evidenced by its eleven-year-long run, and its sequel has finally received an official release window and new teaser trailer.
First announced in September 2021, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest has finally been scheduled for release in July 2024. The series will be animated by J.C. Staff, who have also adapted creator Hiro Mashima’s other work, Edens Zero. The announcement was made via a teaser trailer posted on YouTube by the official account for 100 Years Quest, which has also been given its own webpage with additional information on the production.
According to the official website, Fairy Tail‘s original voice cast for Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Wendy, Happy, and Charles will be reprising their iconic roles once again. Fans can also expect the sequel to have just as iconic of a soundtrack as the original series with Yasuharu Takanashi in charge of the music for 100 Years Quest.

Overall, despite its criticisms over the years, Fairy Tail continues to be a highly nostalgic series that is beloved by many. Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest‘s anime adaptation has the chance to capitalize on this nostalgia and the wide existing fanbase that has been eagerly waiting to see more of the franchise and the beloved characters they cherish even a decade later.
