"Elsie Crimson". xD
Honestly, I think Mashima should have just kept the OG designs and OG names from Fairy Tail and treated this as some sort of AU spin off story. Could've been interesting in it's own way to see a different take on existing characters. (Like in Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles)

Anyway, Rebecca got her guns. Somehow the show feels more comedic than serious in tone so far. Wouldn't mind if it stays that way.

So far so good, its been a while since we have these kind of anime. We've got enough of isekai already, finally a true adventure series!

Pretty much what I expected so far and is decently paced. Shiki has his first interaction with the human/space world and we see a bit of Rebecca and Happy's backstory. Gunner Rebecca is cool and comical at the same time and we are teased about Elsie, is she a friend or foe though?

The character designs may seems a little similar to FT, it's still all good as FT and EZ have the same author thus same art style, so I am not that particular. Regarding power of friendship, I don't think it is that strong here though Shiki does go about 'asking people/android to be his friends' throughout the manga so far.

NGL, was expecting a lot less, even tho I'm pretty sure this anime will have a awful ending (just like Fairy Tail).

For now Not-Fairy Tail is looking great, Not-Lucy seems fine I guess, though the ecchi scenes aren't usefull at all, all over again huh. Not-Gratsu looks better than Natsu tbh, even tho he wants to make friends he doesn't look for now that "friendship is the solution" and his powers in combat are actually fascinating. Might stay for a while, at the moment the Fairy Tail characters start doing bullshit out of nowhere I'm done, since Fairy Tail was already a disaster and hot garbage won't expect anything still.

His Gravity powers reminds me of Kat from Gravity Rush
if you are talking about the BS final arc then I agree it suck and the sequel manga of Fairy tail is a impovement the series needed Both Edens Zero and FT sequel is good

It's always like this, unfortunately. That's why I find it ridiculous that people didn't say anything when Fairy Tail started airing but attack Edens Zero.

The thing is though that Mashima has a lot of haters because of Fairy Tail so people are just gonna hate on anything he puts out unless it's hentai. Mashima has 2 solid works out of 3 (Rave and Edens Zero are stellar while Fairy Tail became worse) but people wont look at that and only judge him because of Fairy Tail

That's not people's fault, the anime industry only adapted 52 episodes of Rave and cut the anime pretty bad, in top of that the anime is old, and even then not a lot of people talked about it, and eden's zero is relatively new, while Fairy Tail got the last anime sequel a few years ago, and it keeps going with the 100 years mission bs, plus people were so crazy with season 1 and 2 that it became popular really fast.

Even keeping in mind that Rave was butchered and didn't receive any sequel/remake, it actually was better than FT imao. And, at least for me, all the associations with characters, etc. are going from Rave, not FT. Maybe people keep mentioning FT because they don't know about Rave

It was nice to get some backstory about Rebecca and how she and Happy first met. It was tragic but hey now he can transform into guns so Rebecca can pew pew people. Shiki continues to be ambitious in his goal to try and befriend everyone, but also knows when to get serious when it comes time to fight.

So far we've got Natsu with Grey's hair, not-Lucy, Happy of course lol, and now totally-not-Erza. If my memory of the small amount of the manga that I've read serves me correctly, to round out the reskins of Fairy Tail's MCs, we should be getting
next episode.
Not really doing much with bandwagon troll hate, bruh.

Shiki and Rebecca are not based on characters while Happy and Elsie are and even with that they are still different on their actions.

Also lol calling Homura 'Wendy'? You really haven't read manga if that your excuse are grasping on character designs when hardly similarities in that one. All characters will have different purposes the more you watch on. It take patience instead of judging on only few episodes lol.

It was really nostalgic to see all the Fairy Tail characters appearing here and there.

Innocent Shiki really just ran around genderizing people...XD

I know her name is Elsie but I'll definitely need time to get used to calling her that name...

About those backstory...it kinda felt rushed, I couldn't really sympathize with it, it was poorly done, the way it just appeared, the timing felt so cringy. And really how did happy turn into a machine? He died and naturally turned into a machine?

Really like the ED, its music is similar to Fiesta one of the OP of Fairy Tail.

At least I gave it a shot, but this isn't doing it for me. The action and humor isn't particularly good. And the amount of times 'friends' get mentioned is just absurd. Sounds like a fantastic reason to go to outer space to go look for those. But when a planet consists of just one small island I guess you don't have much choice.

Yea, pretty much that. FT was stacked with insane talent on the VA side, great soundtracks, OPs, EDs and the animation art was great for several seasons.
Rave was a budget show, same as this one.
I only managed to endure the FT manga to the end, could not force myself to watch it animated the last 3 seasons.
Pass from me on this one. It doesnt match the quality of the opening FT seasons that got me hooked. If you think you like this and havent seen FT - by all means go and try it out. Its better at everything, literally.

I watched the preair bad quality version I'll have to put this on hold for now until more episodes are available for me to watch as I'm back working anyway the character designs are nice and everything is fine if I had one issue it would be shikis voice actor it will take some time to get use to him but as of now I am not found of his accent the way he speaks would have been nice if they had given that position to someone with a lil more experience under their belt but i can understand giving work to new comers to let them blossom and grow so hopefully as the series progresses shikis V/A will get better and fit perfectly

One of the reasons I like the Shiki & Rebecca team up is because they're on equal footing; they both fight and can take care of themselves but when Rebecca's shooting skills & Shiki's Gravity Ether Gear are united it's one badass combo! They have a different dynamic than Lucy & Natsu and it works really well imo.

I'm glad the Fairy Tail character cameos are in the anime too cause it's really fun looking for them!

"B-Cube", "B-Cubers".... I can tell this story was written recently.

Shiki noticing parallels between his and Michael's friendship and Rebecca and Happy's friendship was rather sweet.

Pretty good episode! I am honestly liking the space fantasy type of world, we got demon lords and adventurers and shit, but in sci-fi. OP was pretty good.

Bruh, I had the same reaction as Shiki when Happy transformed into a fucking gun lmao. Rebecca got some mad aim, she must have been streaming CoD or something on B-Cube for those skills lmao, based B-Cuber. Ether gear is a pretty dope power, it has a lot of potential.

Rebecca with glasses is cute as hell, her and happy's backstory do be sad though, I wonder why and how they were abandoned.

Is Happy really the same Happy before he died? I don't think so.

And Shiki met Mother before, could it be before he arrived at Granbell, or happend in the future but with some time-travel trick the memory from the future sent back to the present, something I could see Mashima doing it.

Nice Levy, Jet and Droy cameo and we even saw a glimpse of Warren & Max as well.

The happy backstory was well done and the reveal of him being a machine now was surprising. Seeing Rebecca go on a rampage was pretty funny.

Rebecca's glasses look is pretty damn sexy as well.

They actually gave the "Erza look-a-like" the same voice actress. Didn't expect that.

I hope the animation of the fights movement gets better and not a freeze frame. like the punch Shiki did in Ep 1 against the robot Alvarez Makarov
Nothing the robot is anything like Makarov. What you talking about? Also fights are good so far and these are kinda easy enemies early on. You can't expect longer fighters until later like majority if not all anime series especially Shounen.

With attitude troll like that, your not acting out when these characters are different from any you stated. Art-Style takes time to change. Just look at different authors with that issue. Going on biased hate cause a past series is idiotic as your hating over something it isn't and hasn't shown. Got check this open-mind than think on the past otherwise we will be judging more authors on their past work than on their current ones.

It's not attitude troll tho, when the author has done the same more than once with the characters (Fairy Tail characters are the same in every aspect but hair color and magic than Rave Master characters) then you expect less and less from that person when it comes to the story or the characters.

If I was trolling I wouldn't even give it a try, and as I said, so far looks great, but comparing it with Fairy Tail is mandatory. Specially when not-Erza is literally in design, voice actress and personality the same than normal Erza.
And yeah, art style takes time to change, but the studio that made Fairy Tail: Last season isn't doing this anime, and the style looks the same, plus I'm pretty sure the art style from the manga looks the same from the one in fairy tail, maybe a little better since it's more recent.
