Aside from the obvious relations between the two series (i.e. both are Hiro Mashima works), Groove Adventure Rave, or Rave Master in some regions, takes the Mashima art style and use of a wide variety of colorful characters and places them in an adventurous, comedic, and at times suspensefully dark save-the-world fantasy Fairy Tail fans would find both familiar and fun. Many concepts and characters/groups/magic designs in FT can be traced back to this series and its interesting to note how they are used both similarly and differently in each other to build the large and mysterious world Rave immerses you in. Also, for those who like a more linear storyline while still having the branching, yet interesting, story arcs FT is popular for, Rave never loses focus on the ultimate goal the heroes strive to achieve and yet, fortunately in my opinion, still find a way to incorporate other storylines that further develop character motivations and the overall situation the world finds itself in. If you can get past the very occasional slower moments in the beginning chapters of the story (as was the similar case as FT), Groove Adventure Rave will definitely pull you into a grand adventure that by the end will leave you laughing, crying, and most of all satisfied.
