Fairy Tail: 100-nen Quest

For over one hundred years, a special quest has been waiting for a wizard skilled enough to complete it. On the northern continent of Guiltina, there are five immensely powerful Dragon Gods who possess great destructive force that can only be quelled by sealing them away. Natsu Dragneel and his friends from the Fairy Tail guild—Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Wendy Marvell, and the exceeds Happy and Charlés—consider this the perfect challenge to take on.

The Fairy Tail mages are not the only ones searching for the Dragon Gods. Diabolos, a guild exclusive for "Dragon Eaters," seeks to enhance their Dragon Slayer magic by devouring the dragons. Meanwhile, Fairy Tail's newest addition, Touka, appears to be hiding something sinister from her new companions—and her secrets may bring disaster to the guild while its strongest wizards are away.

The announcement of Fairy Tail's continuation was a big surprise!

The essence of Fairy Tail remains the same here. It's fun and full of ecchi. I didn't expect anything less. However, this season feels more "serious" in terms of the storyline, in my opinion.

The 100 Years Quest is really interesting and consistently surprising! If you want to see something similar to the previous seasons, definitely watch this!

The animation is nothing remarkable, but it's not bad either. The soundtrack is the same as in previous seasons (and it's very good). The ecchi remains unchanged, with no censorship or anything like that.

Overall, it was a fun season. I ... enjoyed almost every moment watching it. The only negative point is the convenient plot, as seen in other seasons, but this is the essence of Fairy Tail, after all (although I would like to see this element change a bit at times).

Mixed Feelings

If I could describe Fairy Tail: 100 years quest with few words: a decent anime with flaws.

Story: The plot was pretty easy to follow, and the side events didn’t feel so out of place. Even so, the comedy was overtaking the plot and while the gags were funny, it kind of made some ‘serious’ moments seem like another joke. There were one or two exceptions that did feel like they were taken seriously, but those scenes are very few.
Another issue I found in Fairy Tail: 100 years quest is how the fights are handled. In this series and even on the past seasons, ... there are occasions where an opponent could effortlessly overpower the main cast, but is then quickly defeated out of convenience. It unfortunately feels less immersive to know that the threat is all bark and no bite. There is one character that feels very intimidating and I hope that she doesn’t fall in this genre of antagonist.
On the other hand, there was a lot of improvement in romance. 100 years quest was amazing at creating instances of cute romance, some were even touching. I would even say that the romantic subplots are handled way better than the action. There was also an expansion on the worldbuilding which made things more interesting.

Art: Although the art didn’t stand out at all, I do think that the simple pastel shonen look fit well with Fairy Tail: 100 years quest. Since this series is slightly more lighthearted, it makes sense that the art looks softer.
The issue comes with the wonky fights. Wonky might be a harsh word, but looking at J.C.Staff’s other works (like Danmachi) make it seem like they didn’t take the animation as priority. Supposedly hard blows don’t feel impactful, it’s like the character didn’t have intentions to attack at all. It’s the case for quite a big number of confrontations. Even if the animation looks stiff at times, the fighting choreography is fluid and natural. The backgrounds blend well with the characters and look pretty decent, but nothing out of the ordinary.
There isn’t a drastic change in the character design, but I found the Diabolos designs to be memorable and decent. Both the human and dragon forms of the dragons were pretty good too.

Sound: There is not much to say about Fairy Tail: 100 years quest Japanese voice acting, it’s the same VAs for most characters and they know them like the back of their hand. The VAs that voiced new characters did a really good job and felt fitting for their personalities.
The Ost was actually really well composed. But while most songs blend in, there is one song in the action sequence that stood out. I’ll describe it as a music filled with hype that could bring motivation at the gym.
The first opening felt as good as Fairy Tail’s previous openings; it really was a jam. Unfortunately, the second opening didn’t live up to the first and felt forgettable.

Character: Because of the romantic aspect, there was changes, subtle or not, about some relationships. I liked how it wasn’t just fanservice, the characters had more meaningful interactions and we got to see a lot of those, even on side characters. New characters like Mercphobia and especially Suzaku were likable and had solid personalities. I also found Selene’s personality and aura intimidating and powerful. Although some could be kind of annoying, but I’m pretty sure that those unimportant characters were not made to be anyone’s favorite.
Surprisingly, there was a lot of characters that I never thought would show up again but did. The best part is that their appearance made sense and they still had the same charisma.

Enjoyment: It was an ambivalent watch. At moments, I was rolling my eyes and on others pausing the episode out of happiness. I have to admit that some episodes were on the brink of being tolerable and those are more than the ones I enjoyed. Fairy Tail: 100 years quest is an anime that only long-term fans of Fairy Tail can enjoy watching but that’s probably because of the coupling and that we have an attachment to Fairy Tail in general. I’m not confident to say that it’s the same for people that don’t love Fairy Tail or those that expect the same quality as the previous seasons.

Preliminary (13/25 eps)

With high hopes that Fairy Tail would improve as it is coming after a long long break, I was excited to jump in without any delay. But this shit never fails to disappoint. I'm so frustrated that it became even worse (at least up to this point) and its focus on fan service.

Animation is good, fights are average. I think it is taking its fans for granted. Characters power comparison is ridiculous. Pretty lag in every episode. I feel like skipping all the time, just to complete the episode. Big fan of its music and except for it, everything else is complete shit.
