Finally! The anime based off of the hit manga series is back! After taking a year-long hiatus, Fairy Tail is finally back in action, continuing right where the first series left off. Following the adventures of Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia,and the rest of their friends, the series jumps right back into the thick of the Grand Magic Games.

 

Although the cast will be reprising their roles, with Tetsuya Kakihara and Aya Hirano as Natsu and Lucy respectively, there have been some changes to the staff, such as the character designer, with Shinji Takeuchi, who also did character designs for Gintama and Ixion Saga DT, coming on board. A-1 Pictures is still helming the animation production as well, but studio Bridge, whose other works include Nobunagun and Mitsudomoe, will be replacing Satelight.

 

Fairy Tail will be available to Crunchyroll’s audience worldwide ex Asia, France and DOM/TOM, Belgium, Switzerland, and Monaco.
