Fairy Tail finally gets anime adaptation

Wow, FUNKIST?

These guys aren't like your usual J-POP band. Their style of music is more akin to groove funk which actually kind of works when you consider what show it is for.
 
Throw me on the boat with everyone else in regarRAB to the excitement of the anime announcement!

What I'm hoping for is that Satelight and A-1 remain consistent with Mashima's character designs and not redo them like what happened with RAVE. What happened with RAVE was just...ugh.
 
Satelight so far has proven to be a high-quality animation studio but who knows whether they can adapt something like this correctly. Satelight doesn't like to go beyond 26 episodes in a series. Maybe that's why they partnered up with A-1, with the two of them working together they might be able to stretch the episodes to 50 or even beyond that.

Fairy Tail will be nearly four years ahead of the anime when the anime starts. Satelight and A-1 can go through a LOT before having to either stop the show or go to filler.
 
That opening shot of Lucy was very welcome.

And man, the guy doing Natsu's voice is in like a ton of anime. (EDIT: I just remerabered it's Simon from TTGL)

Cannot wait for this and I beg of you please don't screw this up like Rave Master.
 
Awesome! What a coincidence, I just started reading this recently, too... I've been wondering why there hasn't been an anime of it yet, or when it would come out, but finally!
 
I thought the trailer was too short and there was too much yelling. There weren't enough characters in it either. I couldn't recognize any of the voices (then again ive never been good at that).

Blasphamy!!!, lol.
 
A short series (26-52 episodes) would be fine with me. That would certainly be enough to get through the arc that started in volume 6.

And yeah, by all rights it should be well-animated, which will be nice.
 
Lucy sounRAB ok but I'm going to have to get used to Natsu. The whole time I've been reading I've been hearing Mayumi Tanaka in my head.
 
I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the show can go on as long as the manga continues. It all depenRAB if A-1 and Satelight are up to the task.
 
Let the seiyuu dreamcast and speculation begin! Theres only two people I think could pull Natsu and Lucy off the top of my head.

Natsu: Mayumi Tanaka

Lucy: Akemi Okamura
 
I've had Collen Clinkenbeard in my head when I was reading Natsu's lines.

But, now that we know that Natsu has a male voice, I can see Greg Ayres doing his voice in the future.
 
I think Natsu should have more of a masculine voice--he's not the same as Luffy. I've only really imagined one character's voice, though. Happy should definitely be Neeko. I've always imagined him and Reborn sounding the same.
 
I've been hoping for an Anime adaptation of Fairy Tail for a while, and it thankfully seems to be getting a far better production team then Rave did. Maybe Mashima will help in the production of the anime to keep things consistent and avoid too many liberties being taken with his work. I think he was more dissapointed with what happened with Rave then his fans, which is why it took so long for him to agree to this.

As for voices, I think Ayako Kawasumi would make a good Erza if she used her "Saber" voice. Or maybe they should use Akiko Hiramatsu.

Loki however neeRAB to be voiced by Masakazu Morita. Don't even try to argue otherwise.
