Creator of Fairy Tail Forced To Make New Series

[@drm726]

I don’t care what your opinion on his work is, you have to respect Hiro Mashima’s work ethic. Just working on one manga would be enough for most authors, but he is drawing Eden’s Zero, storyboarding FT 100 year quest, and can still find time in his schedule for other stuff. That’s impressive.

[@artofthepossible7329]

To quote a 2008 interview: "Q: You do TWO series? How do you do that? When do you sleep? Hiro Mashima: Whenever I can! (laughs)"

i mean given the quality of ft100 can it even be considered as a burden?

[@KanekiKen-vk6pb]

he already said before Edens zero will be longer than Rave but shorter than FT also this new manga his working is just a short manga that will serialized monthly probably the same as Monster soul and Monster hunter Orage that he also wrote during the serialization of FT back then but this time he said it's gonna be different from his usual story telling because the MC and Heroine are very different compared to Natsu ,Shiki ,Haru ,Elie , Lucy and Rebecca

Honestly I like the idea of Mashima making a FT sequel that’s more of a character driven story. Like if the story is about Erza’s son or daughter instead but with a more darker tone.

@@irish-italianintrovert.8600 by darker tone do you mean him pulling an evil jellal killing people?

[@irish-italianintrovert.8600]

@@oisinlynch8427 if you will humor me. Let’s say Erza’s son (Simon) has an incredibly large pool of magic energy since birth. The problem is that he can’t properly control it no matter how much he trains under Jellal and Erza unlike his older sister, so he‘s depressed and feels like he’s burden. Then add the feeling of anxiety because he believes with so much power he needs to live up to his mother’s expectations as well as the expectations of Fairy Tail. This is Simon’s belief of course because no one even considers him a burden and wanted to help him. Long story short Simon ignorantly takes an S class job to make Erza and Fairy Tail proud. Which completely backfires on him and results in a lot of people dead including some Fairy Tail characters (I will not say who). Seeing what he has done, believing he ruined everything, fearing the guild’s retribution he runs away attempting to embrace eternity when he is taken by a slave trader and forced to become a child soldier in a country that despises wizards on the opposite side of the world. Oh, and he’s 9 yrs old when this happens. If that answers your question.

Jeez, working on THREE series at once... thats impressive, I don't understand how Hiro Mashima can even keep track of all those characters. It's ridiculously impressive. I like that he's trying a different type of anime for his new series and, as a huge FT fan, I don't feel like I'm required to like it to respect the work he puts into what he does.✌

[@sensha5470]

Keeping track of characters isn't what makes it impressive. It's the absurd time commitment to put it to page. *Scripting* a chapter can take upwards of 4 hours even for shorter stories with not too much going on. Writing and illustrating it? Hoo boy single chapters of can take a full workweek + overtime to get done, even for simpler stuff like Slice of Life series.

[@theddae]

I have a love-hate relationship with fairytail. Liked the concept but felt that the writer kept things way too safe. I heard he wanted to make the series a bit darker but the editor and his fans steared him away. For Edens Zero he finally got to experiment with heavier subjects and a darker tone. I’m not caught up with the series but from what I’ve read I liked it more as a whole because it actually pushed the characters. Not to say FairyTail never did but in Edens Zero there was much more weight behind actions because of Rebecca’s time travel ability. To me personally, I hope the new series focuses on heavier subjects with a darker tone. Personally, I like those series best because when you do have things with friends and found family they tend to shine a whole lot brighter in that setting.

[@Dumbsourplum]

No I'm pretty sure he just Wanted to write something Lighter, Like Fairy tails Main identity was hugely made up of how lighthearted it was, it was like that from the beginning and it wouldn't make sense To Make it suddenly darker, That's not what fairy tail was about

[@huntertezz]

No he was not experimenting in Edens Zero. Rave was just as dark as Edens Zero and some if its twists were more tragic. It was Fairy Tail that was change from his usual style.

[@billyjoel23]

it was actually kind of the opposite hes way better at writing darker stories but he became depressed after writing rave and wanted to make a more lighthearted story for himself and thats why he made fairy tail

[@Dumbsourplum]

@Billy Joel Yep, He's good at dark stories, that's why he wanted a lighter one, It's also why he went back on killing Characters so much, he probably Thought he wanted to go back to dark Stories but then He probably just regretted it immediately when the pages published, The E.N.D storyline, The war arc, all of It was probably too dark for him to Handle so he rushed them to get to 100yq considering he already had 100YQ planned by Alvarez

[@huntertezz]

@@Dumbsourplum He didn't regret writing dark stories. Remember right after Fairy Tail he wrote Edens Zero which is much darker than anything in Fairy Tail.

Kishimoto isn't a good example from this. Because his writing has only been degrading over the years (definitely shouldn't have come back to Boruto, without second writer).

Which 100YQ has shown.

[@rorisangpitswane3595]

Unpopular opinion, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Imo Rave Master, Fairy Tail and Eden’s Zero are actually pretty similar(different franchises but similar tone and character design). It would make sense for Mashima to delve into something that he hasn’t done before. Personally I think it would be cool if it was a more darker series, sure all of his previous works have darker and more mature arcs but they’re overall light hearted. It would be cool if he would make something akin to a Tokyo Ghoul, Deadman Wonderland or Berserk, like a dark fantasy. It would be interesting to see Mashima’s take on that kind of genre, which would be the complete opposite and of what he’s produced thus far.

They better pay him good, man’s working a lot

A full-on romance drama, with no humor or cameos from the previous series: That is the only thing I could think of that would result in something the fans would "hate".

So little love for Rave, his best work :(

I'm excited to see what the new project coming our way might be though 🙂

[@phooter-boy6157]

Since most of his works is the structured like the Quiet Man film, It's been awhile that anyone tried convincing mashima to be versatile like Hunter x Hunter. And just insane thinking about this?!

[@aaronsmith7317]

I love fairy tail it's one of my all time favs. I only started it last year and can't wait for the next series. I haven't seen Eden zero yet but looking forward to watch it.

I honestly was hoping he’d reuse the same design/style his whole career. Does it get old? Sure, you can say it does. But it would be legendary if he did.

[@MrBeanzies]

I'm hoping that this new series being "different" means they won't try so hard to shoehorn good intentions on the baddies and make them join the good guys every season.

I am so Excited for FT:100 Years Quest and Edens Zero!

[@target3143]

Is there any official realise date for Fairy Tail 100 year quest?

[@flaming-will5545]

For the anime, no release date so far, some if not most speculates that mashima sensei is taking his time to make 100 year quest and not rush it just for the anime adaptation
