| Well that was really fun and exciting. I liked the characters a lot as well. I hope we can get season 2 very soon |
| Homura was cold. Gave it to her mother straight. Kurenai's fate was bloody hilarious, especially knowing it's Mashima writing this. I wouldn't have seen that in FT lol. No bs, just pure karma ready and waiting for the wicked. That baseball swing playing from 3 different angles kills me everytime lmao Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the adaptation. Elevated the experience in the ways I thought it really needed to, and I'm mainly talking about the voice acting. Glad that was done justice. Really made the experience. Mikakoshi as Rebecca and Fujii as Sister already makes it close enough to a dream team lol |
 |
| I've never understood why authors will make fanfiction of their own series and then pretend it's something totally new. If you want to use your existing characters in different situations go right ahead, but don't try to pass it off as a new work. Anyway I'm not sure if it would be better or worse to have have seen Fairy Tail before watching this. Taken on its own merits there's a lot to criticize, while viewing it as Fairy Tail: IN SPACE is also less than ideal (why are there two Wendys?). Well whatever, I found it watchable enough in the end so I guess I'll have to go with "if you liked the author's previous Anime adaptations you'll probably also like this". |
| Finally finished the last episode. Good series overall. Kurenai got what she deserved. 6/10 |
 |
| As dark as that scene was with the thugs, Kurenai certainly got what she deserves. Enjoyable season, even though it shares similiarities to Fairy tail and Rave master (even some blatant cameos), I like how it stands out with the space theme and even some dark moments. |
 |
| At first I was rather skeptical about the characters and setting with the practical copy paste of characters not only by look, name, but also how they react and progress the story. Though in the end this space opera version of what you could practically call a fairy tale alternative setting/universe was better than I first expected. Sure this could be because I highly prefer the space opera/sci-fi setting a lot more than the fantasy setting, but still the flow and pacing was quite lovely and for this first season with a direct announcement for a second I actually am looking forwards to see where this story will go! So all in all I quite enjoyed watching it. |
 |
| Was hoping Homura wouldn't just let her go but she even did one of those kowtow bows to her, that was truly disappointing and painful to watch. When I heard that EZ was darker I wasn't expecting them to just let the villains go like that. Well at least they now have all four shining stars and can head for the grand line.. Overall, I liked the overarching goal to find Mother and the role of androids. The space travel and visiting different planets has a lot of potential for different stories. Also really liked how the strength isn't so much about friendship power and how Rebecca shown some potential of not being completely useless in fights. That said, the series fell short in most other aspect. I went into this series trying to see it as its own thing without comparing it to FT, but it leaned too heavily on FT success which made it near impossible to not make that comparison. No matter how you look at it Shiki-Rebecca-Happy are just revamp of Natsu-Lucy-Happy. When you introduce such similarity then you can't blame people for comparing the two, and when comparing the two, EZ doesn't fare so well against FT. The characters, music, depth in its arcs, world with guilds and governments. Granted EZ only had 25 eps so far but we boarded the comparison train already. |

| hey it...wasnt bad. It was good. I'm waiting for s2. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Shiki used Kurenai's own missiles to strengthen his own attack. Karmic retribution came for Kurenai after meeting Homura. I almost forgot the Edens One captain was still with them lol So they don't actually need all four of the original shining stars to accomplish their goal, a position can be inherited/replaced since they came out of their own will. Thus, Homura becomes the new fourth member (maybe next time, Mosco!) |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| wow this series is amazing i love fairy tail and this series is also just also in love with it love Mashima Hiro's works now to wait for 100year quest anime and for season 2 of this and also soon an anime for gate of nightmares (also really good) till then will keep on with the manga |
| "one step at a time" |
| I still had hope to the very end that they would be able to save Valkyrie T-T |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Solid finale to what has been a fairly enjoyable show thus far! Homura certainly didn't hold back at all with that cold speech, it's almost bewildering how Kurenai didn't feel anything afterwards. Rather thankfully though, she didn't go unpunished. I don't think the rebels are up to any good honestly but it is what she started after all. Rest in peace Valkyrie, Homura's master, friend and mother. And congratulations to the birth of the new fourth Shining Star! Witch and Sister changing locations to finally let loose of their emotions was touching to see, machines with hearts for sure. I'm kind of hoping that Mashima Hiro-sensei doesn't bring Valkyrie back for all the reasons that Shiki went on to mention later on seeing how this troupe was abundant in the Fairy Tail franchise. All in all, this was an interesting arc that definitely raised the stakes and provided us with a taste of the dark turn that this series can (and may, for all I know) take. I've been hearing really good things about the arcs to follow, so I'm looking forward to what's next! On the downside, I can't quite say that the whole set of characters got enough screentime or attention to stand out by themselves. A strong point of the early Fairy Tail arcs was the cast and I feel that this series missed that. Rebecca received a fair bit of attention throughout but the whole B-tuber thing coupled with all the typical fan-service didn't really leave much of a good impression, lol. However, that's not to say, that it didn't other aspects to make up for it. World-building, the Ether power logic and the space setting all seem interesting and I'm curious to see where these will go. Strong 6/10 from my side. Oh, and rest in peace to the director too. Thank you for bringing the world of Edens Zero to life. @daft_mariner Cool, thanks for sharing your insights! I never really compared Edens Zero and Fairy Tail that accurately so I was kind of loosely referencing the two. Makarov v Jose was definitely more engaging because of the Shounen trope of an Op character finally showing his true powers and whatnot, lol. If what you say is true regarding the buildup, I'm looking forward to what's coming next! |

| Overall, not too bad, Mashima knows how to write impactful and emotional stories without seeming overbearing or forced to me, I'll give him that. That final crying scene was great. And the sense of adventure and discovery is a big plus, just like it was in Fairy Tail. 6/10. Too bad the author can't be arsed to get creative in other aspects of his work, the re-usage of skins, the same names, even similar themes and relationships (Deadbeat Mother who doesn't care for her daughter, where have I seen that?), there's too many to list. He really does come off as a one trick hack writer. But what sells, sells I guess. Anyone who says Fairy Tail and Edens Zero aren't similar are delusional or lying through their teeth. Reminds me of Shinkai and his same old story he spews out every now and then. I think I couldn't bare to watch Rave Master at this point as well lol... |

Rave and Edens Zero is darker Season 2 will be better than Season 1 The Manga is Awesome |
| Yo wtf was that ending credits!!! It looks dark as hell 😬😬 The Demon King/grandpa is alive?? My goodness. Also looks like Rebecca’s ability to slightly rewind time will come in super handy.. Gonna be a rough season two in April, but I’m looking forward to it! 8/10 overall for this season. And top tier fan service XD |
 |
| With thanks to my good buddies at netflix season 1 complete. Have to say, loved it. Onto season 2 which is now showing! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
