Movies based on established properties. Some of these franchises have more than 10 movies, so for variety sakes I'll be limiting it to 4 per franchise. I'm also excluding movies that are canon (eg: End of Eva, Mugen Train, DSoD, JJK0) and movie adaptations (Berserk, Hokuto no Ken, etc.) hence I'm only counting filler.

Fairy Tail is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiro Mashima. It was serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine from August 2006 to July 2017, with the individual chapters collected and published into 63 tankōbon volumes.

The manga has been adapted into an anime series by A-1 Pictures, Dentsu Inc., Satelight, Bridge, and CloverWorks which was broadcast in Japan on TV Tokyo from October 2009 to March 2013. A second series was broadcast from April 2014 to March 2016. A third and final series was aired from October 2018 to September 2019. The series has also inspired numerous spin-off manga, including a prequel by Mashima, Fairy Tail Zero, and a sequel storyboarded by him, titled Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest. Additionally, A-1 Pictures has developed nine original video animations and two animated feature films.

By February 2020, the Fairy Tail manga had over 72 million copies in print, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time.
