Nearly five years after the original anime ended, Fairy Tail is finally returning with a sequel. Fans don’t have to wait much longer, as the Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest anime just confirmed its July release date.
The show’s premiere was announced alongside the release of a new key visual that highlighted the anime’s main characters.
What’s more, three new voice cast members were revealed, and they will voice new characters that will play big roles in the story.
Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Release Date
Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail manga ended in July 2017, with the anime adaptation subsequently getting its finale in September 2019.
After the manga’s ending though, Mashima started working on Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, a direct sequel to the original.
Unlike other shonen sequels such as Boruto, which featured a lengthy time skip and new characters, the Fairy Tail sequel follows Natsu’s team once again, this time in a new adventure.
The 100 Years Quest manga started serialization back in July 2018. Then in 2021, an anime adaptation was announced to be in the works by J.C.Staff.
It has taken a while, but the anime adaptation finally got a teaser video back in March, which also confirmed its July premiere. Now, it’s confirmed that the anime will premiere on July 7, 2024, in Japan.
As for the three voice actors, they include Yumi Uchiyama (Pack in Re:Zero) as Kiria, Itaru Yamamoto (Adolphe in Kaguya-sama: Love is War) as Madmole, and Kenji Hamada (Teppei Kiyoshi in Kuroko’s Basketball) as Skullion.
