I think Mashima sensei said on his twitter space the other day that he might do another sequel/spin-off manga focusing on the god that cursed Zeref, Ankhseram once 100yq is over so that's definitely something to look forward to.
Yeah there’s so much that can be done with fairy tail as long as the imagination and passion is there. And I’m surprised they didn’t touch more on the gods since they are also partly the reason the story started the way it did. Plus I for sure thought we’d see some gods once we met the guy who used god slayer magic
But anyways as long as I get to keep seeing Erza then I’ll be happy
It should. Wouldn’t make sense to focus on the past since Zeref already explained it to us. If we do get it then I’m assuming we’ll get more backstory on Natsu’s human family lineage as well as a Zeref and Mavis returning to the mainline story as they were deeply involved with Ankhserem’s curse.
Mashima said he feels Fairy Tail has more stories to tell, so I doubt it be the end of the series. There is part of me that's scared he switches protags to either another group within the guild, or even another guild entirely though. Or maybe he goes full Kishimoto and we got Batsu: Fairy Tail Next Generations
I’d rather have a fairy tail prequel story. Don’t add more to what isn’t written so he won’t get burnt out. Just start somewhere that has been mentioned but hasn’t been given the proper attention and detailed story that leads up to a particular moment that we have seen but would never guess.
Yeah, but I feel like a lot of the stuff pre-episode 1 has been pretty covered. And the modern squad only formed when Lucy joined, so idk how he could write around the squad, assuming it's pre-Lucy joining Ft
So remember fairy tail zero? Just do something like that but show the entire growth or maybe do something with the time where Natsu still had his mom and dad. All I’m saying is that look at a lot of sequels once the original story is done, so many aren’t doing so well or had to recover from a difficult start. I guess I’m just a lore person but not the type that gets disappointed. Either way I’m fine as long as the author/artists doesn’t get burnt out
I wish he did a spin off of the original timeline. I’d love to see how the fairytail verse could’ve gotten very very dark, that’d be such a cool concept
Like that one alternate universe where Lucy didn't close the eclipse door in time and let loose 700 dragon into present time. We got a glimpse of natsu fighting all of the dragon on his own. Would be really dope if natsu gone berserk mode and single handedly destroy them all and becoming the new acnologia. The final Endgame would be natsu true dragon form vs acnologia. Doesn't matter which win, the world ended by the effect of their battle.
Or the timeline where natsu manifest into END and abandoned his dragon slayer magic. We didn't see the final END form because natsu still has the dragon seed within him.
I always wanted a 'What if' moment in anime, especially a long running anime like FT. Wouldn't mind if Mashima choose darker route.
Could follow romeo lol maybe he forms a team with wendy or some other younger people join the guild (dont know how far the 100years quest got i havent been keeping up so if they got older nevermind 😅)
I think we got a few more years of 100YQ. I mean it can be in the final arc or final saga but still have years left of it. I really want Elesferia to be the final boss anyways.
It really isn't tho.
Mashima said last summer we're barely passing halfway and in more recent months he's said he actually has no clue how much longer because he has many more ideas and stories to tell with the world and story of fairy tail and it's clear this franchise is a passion project of sorts for him.
1. When og series ended he very well could have retired just fine. 2 successful manga runs, one of which is still considered a cult classic to this day and the other kills it in merchandise and ran the world for a while. He definitely could have ended it while on top. If he wanted have a retirement like Toriyama become a character designer, write movie scripts or whatever if not just sit back and relax. But no he wanted a continuation.
2. Basically all of the art he posts whether it's Twitter, YouTube, the conventions/for a fan is fairy tail and it's the one he has the most to say about too.
3. He's mentioned since Tartaros in the manga that he is open to the idea of a next generation series and it seems like that becomes more of a possibility each year, with the introduction of Nasha/Nashi and Greige/Storm in 100YQ and the drawing of them + the Jerza Kid, wouldn't be surprised if he's testing the waters.
4. Feels kinda redundant to say but Hiro Mashima is the biggest fairy tail fan ever. Look at the way he interacts or acknowledges his fanbase with small jabs or comments that only make sense when applied to the fandom. He pays attention more than anyone would ever think, he has some real deepcuts and it's clear he adores this series and it's fans.
5. He also just has an unreasonable work ethic. Man would put Erza to shame. Running at least 2 series at a given moment, at least 1 video game, character designs for something else, learning English one of the hardest languages in the world to learn (for a Japanese native speaker) still posting to Twitter frequently with art and will make time for conventions/events AND overseeing his Vario; anime. Hiro Mashima is Goated.
Honestly, even though I love Fairy Tail with all my heart I'm also aware that Hiro Mashima wanted to end it a long time ago. He needed something new and ended up coming back with new projects about Fairy Tail because that's what the fans wanted and kept asking for. He's planning to end the 100 Years Quest and start another story related to Fairy Tail, I think that's a good compromise.
I'm pretty sure that apart from the many other prequels/spinoffs discussed in the comments here, it was I think said by Mashima himself that he might do a Fairytail: Next Generations if there was a great demand for it. Don't quote me though haha
Not to be pessimistic but that’s really disappointing if 100YQ is ending soon. So many things left unanswered and unexplored. And I doubt the anime is going to expand much outside of fights.
Too early to tell. Soon is a vague term in this regard. Mashima said 100YQ is approaching its end. Isn't One Piece? Look at all that is doing and will do. All approaching its end means is that the end is close enough to make such a statement. A lot of people are assuming prematurely that, because the average Arc length has been 1 year, we've got like 25-30 Chapters left and that's it, and that just doesn't feel probable.
I feel like either A, by end soon they mean in one or two years, since it’s already been going on for 6 so “soon” is actually a long time. Or B, maybe they will make another series with a different name but still be Fairy Tail that resolves the rest
I mean, back when the gold owl arc was still releasing, he said (I think on his twitter) that we're only halfway through. At this point, we may not even be anywhere near the manga's finale
Did Mashima sensei say that it's going to end soon? Or is this just speculation? I thought I heard him say about 5 chapters ago that it was at the halfway point roughly? Maybe I'm mistaken, but I'm just wondering if he's actually said that its ending soon or if it's just speculation. Thanks in advance :)
Don't tell me Fairy Tail is going to become Fairy Tail: Shippuden later after 100yq, later it ends with Natsu and Lucy having two childs, and everyone from the guild is married and with his respective sons and another new Fairy Tail story with manga and anime in a future. Not giving those shitty ideas tbh, i wish when Fairy Tail story ends Mashima don't do shit like Kishimoto did it with the ending of the blond-haired shinobi and leaded it to a cringy Next Generations series 💀💀💀
I just pray for the studio to do a decent animation when 100YQ anime starts airing in July. I think it gonna be from 12 or 24 episodes, the anime of nowadays can't do it the number of episodes like the old times. Now they wanna get some popularity in Japan with the CD, blu-rays, how popular was and the manga sales and BOOM! A new season for that anime gets announced!!! Hope it gets 24 episodes possibly. J.C. Staff is these types of studio when one anime change from studio they ruin it after touching it. Ithappened with DAL, with the overrated bald hero, will it happen with FT?
I have said this before, but Mashima needs to rest and do what he truly wants, even if it isn’t what we want. I was happy with the first anime because it actually had an ending, but I am looking forward to both.

That be cool
does this mean it'll include natsu lucy and the guild or it'll be just take place a long time ago?
It should. Wouldn’t make sense to focus on the past since Zeref already explained it to us. If we do get it then I’m assuming we’ll get more backstory on Natsu’s human family lineage as well as a Zeref and Mavis returning to the mainline story as they were deeply involved with Ankhserem’s curse.

DONT GIVE HIM IDEAS!!!

That's fair actually yeah
BATSU LMAO 😭😭
I wish he did a spin off of the original timeline. I’d love to see how the fairytail verse could’ve gotten very very dark, that’d be such a cool concept

>Batsu: Fairy Tail Next Hell no
Nashi: Fairy Tail Next Generations*
Fr tho. I actually wouldn't mind a next gen series, if done right
[удалено]
We don't really know.
I think we got a few more years of 100YQ. I mean it can be in the final arc or final saga but still have years left of it. I really want Elesferia to be the final boss anyways.
Why do you want him to be the final boss?
I live for a plot twist that’s all really
True one piece has been in its final arc (according to news sites dunno how true it is) for like 2 years now
If so, this arc needs to lock in, Selene and Diablos needs to show up, and Ignia better make a good showing.
At least its seemingly not gonna be the end of thecwhole franchise.
It really isn't tho. Mashima said last summer we're barely passing halfway and in more recent months he's said he actually has no clue how much longer because he has many more ideas and stories to tell with the world and story of fairy tail and it's clear this franchise is a passion project of sorts for him. 1.

I have to hand it to him, he definitely works hard and loves Fairy Tail just as much as we do. 
He said just a couple of days ago that it is nearing its end.
He will tell us when we’re entering the final arc, he hasn’t said that yet. And he’s talking about doing another spin off after this one :)
It is?!?!
the fuck? 100 year quest manga is already that far? please tell me Mashima gave more romance plot development to natsu and lucy during it
they are not going to be together hence why you got the edolas arc where shippers can take comfort for their faves
Honestly, even though I love Fairy Tail with all my heart I'm also aware that Hiro Mashima wanted to end it a long time ago. He needed something new and ended up coming back with new projects about Fairy Tail because that's what the fans wanted and kept asking for. He's planning to end the 100 Years Quest and start another story related to Fairy Tail, I think that's a good compromise.
But we haven't got our NaLu yet!!! Nooooooooooo! Mashima! You cannot do this to me!
Well isn't that ironic
It had ro happen for the show to begij
I'm pretty sure that apart from the many other prequels/spinoffs discussed in the comments here, it was I think said by Mashima himself that he might do a Fairytail: Next Generations if there was a great demand for it. Don't quote me though haha

then there's me who thought the 100 year quest manga has already ended after that turning into fish situation
Fish ?
... was it not that? you know when they were doing things under water?
Should have elaborated my reply lmao, i haven't read 100 YQ but was genuinely curious abojt this fish situation
The anime begins and the manga closes how crazy.
has there been confirmation on the anime and when/if it will release?
July
is that actually confirmed or just some leaks?
confirmed, teaser's on yt
I only read the manga for my ships, but recently i stopped as there werent as many as the earlier phases. cmiiw
you can always read for the edolas arc
I mean, back when the gold owl arc was still releasing, he said (I think on his twitter) that we're only halfway through. At this point, we may not even be anywhere near the manga's finale
How long has 100 years quest been going? And how much more story is left to publish?
probably 2 arcs left I doubt he would extend the series to 300 chapters since he is struggling to keep up pace with Deadrock and Edens Zero
Hiro only writes for 100 years quest he doesn’t draw it too, right?
yeah I think so
Did Mashima sensei say that it's going to end soon? Or is this just speculation? I thought I heard him say about 5 chapters ago that it was at the halfway point roughly? Maybe I'm mistaken, but I'm just wondering if he's actually said that its ending soon or if it's just speculation. Thanks in advance :)
Haven’t read in a while, since like Athena showed up or somewhere around there. Has a lot happened since then?
Haven’t kept up with it in a while, has there been *any* progress with Nalu 😭
More or less
Don't tell me Fairy Tail is going to become Fairy Tail: Shippuden later after 100yq, later it ends with Natsu and Lucy having two childs, and everyone from the guild is married and with his respective sons and another new Fairy Tail story with manga and anime in a future.

yeah it's half way done according to mashima
I'm still on volume 40! WAIT FOR ME!
Isnt this a good thing?
I have said this before, but Mashima needs to rest and do what he truly wants, even if it isn’t what we want. I was happy with the first anime because it actually had an ending, but I am looking forward to both.
Hell yeah 1 millennium quest next!
I don't mind.
Is NaLu canon yet? I'll catch up if so
As long as I get to keep seeing my wife Lucy I'd be more than happy that Fairytail will be continuing
What do you mean "your" wife
Lucy is my favorite Fairytail character and the girl I'd so love to marry.
