Fairy Tail Anime Episode Discussion Thread [Episode 165 and Onward]
It seems no one wants too make a thread for this awesome Anime. Well in that case I will do it instead.
Genre: Shounen, Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy Animation Production: A-1 Pictures and Satelight Expected Release Date: October 12 Website: TV Tokyo Cast:
Really excited about this and to boosts things up it's done by A-1 Pictures and Satelight. Which came like a surprise. I never expected them to do this kind of adaptation. Will edit the post when better scan or new information appears. Thread Guidelines

Question is will this turn out to be either a 51 ep series or a long running series like Naruto/Bleach/One Piece. As of right now there are 15 volume of manga material to use and when the first ep of anime airs this Fall another volume would have come out, they have more then enough manga material for them to make a 51 ep series without any filler and by the time it reaches ep 51 after a year they would have another 5 to 6 volumes for another 26 episodes and that's without doing any filler for the first 51 episodes. But I do think they'll be a few filler episodes here and their, stretching battles a bit longer then the manga early on, though that's assuming this is going to be a long running series.
Which would be a first for A-1 Pictures if it's a long running series. Satellite has been doing Shugo Chara for awhile now being close to 100 episodes. |

Yeah it would, even fillers are welcome since it's pretty fast-paced. Shares some similarities with One Piece art-wise but has its own unique touch to it as well, I still think there's not enough material for a continuously running series but I guess we'll wait and see^^

I've been waiting for a Fairy Tail anime for a long time and to see that two of my favorite animation studios in A-1 Pictures (Kannagi, Birdy Decode) and Satelight (Macross Frontier, Noein) is much better than I could've hoped for. Personally I'm hoping for an approach like Major, air for two cours (26 eps) and take a break for two and than come back on. Hmm the end of that arc in the mid sixties would be a good stopping point for season 1 if they took that approach. If they do this like Pierrot are doing Bleach/Naruto than I must say this is a bit more filler friendly in how it works, at least upto the point I've read.
But still I'm hoping for the Major approach since that means the animation should be top notch for most of it, I'm hoping that Ryo Timo is animating fight scenes in this and since he's worked with A-1 and Satelight a lot I think that's a good chance of happening. The dock battle in Noein is one of my fav action scenes in an anime. Here's a clip with some of his work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYLSMo5IEqM Also Erza is completely awesome, wonder who will voice her... someone like Nabatame Hitomi, Minagawa Junko or Romi Paku would be great for her. |

A lot of people said it back when the episode aired, even now people still have a hard time telling the difference between art and actual animation. I've even seen comments still talking about that Naruto Vs Sasuke fight while discussing Birdy Decode 2's infamous "quality" scene.

Fun fact they'll have more manga material to use then One Piece, Naruto and Bleach anime did.
One Piece Manga started in: 1997-12-24 (Japanese Vol 1) One Piece Anime started in: 1999-10-20 Latest One Piece Manga Vol: 1999-10-04 (Japanese Vol 10) Bleach Manga started in: 2002-01-05 (Japanese Vol 1) Bleach Anime Started in : 2004-10-05 Latest Bleach Manga Vol: 2004-09-03 (Japanese Vol 14) Naruto Manga started in: 2000-03 (Japanese Vol 1) Naruto Anime Started in: 2002-10-03 Latest Naruto Manga Vol: 2002-11 (Japanese Vol 14) Now lets look at Fairy Tail... Fairy Manga Started in 2006-12-15: Fairty Tail Anime Start in: Fall September? 09 Latest Fairy Tail Manga Vol: Vol 16 will be release sometime in August before the anime starts. So that's two whole volumes more than Naruto and Bleach had and 6 volumes more than One Piece had. |

I'm also wondering how many episodes this plans to be. There's no way they can tell the 15/16 volumes of material that there is in 26 episodes. So i'm hoping for what people have been mentioning, 50+. They can even do it in two seasons.
Can't wait to find out who will voice who. I already have some great choices in mine.

Since it's shounen, it will definitely be longer than 26 episodes.
They can probably stop it after the Tower of Paradise arc, which will probably be after 50 episodes, and that will be as good a place as any, with only one problem - Natsu's past will never be revealed. I don't like it when they introduce a story point and never address it, especially a major one like that, so I would prefer the show to be continuous. We don't know how long the manga will be, but if it doesn't go above 300 chapters, it can probably be finished in one 150-episode anime without many fillers. As for VA, I already made some suggestions in the manga thread. Here they are: Natsu: Mayumi Tanaka - can't imagine anyone else Lucy: Fumiko Orikasa - cute and sometimes bossy, just like Lucy Gray: Tomokazu Seki - youthful and manly at the same time Erza: Marina Inoue - strong and kind at the same time Gazille: Kazuya Nakai - pretty badass and manly Loki: Hiroaki Hirata - very smooth voice for a player Happy: Ikue Ohtani - cute and funny Gerard: Miyano Mamoru - fit for an evil genius Can't think of anyone else at this point...

Also people looking at stills and saying the art sucks are stupid. It isn't supposed to be really great detailed art. The character is supposed to be in fast movement and the art and animation tries to show that on screen. @Darklord_bg, oh hell no. As if the constent comparison between OP and FT isn't bad enough, you want Luffy's VA for Natsu.. Even though Tanaka is GREAT, I really don't want to see it happen. |

Besides, being similar to One Piece is a good thing for me - as long as it's not a blatant ripoff, which it isn't.
