Natsu Dragneel and his friends have accepted the 100 Years Quest from the wizard Elefseria, vowing to find and seal away the Five Dragon Gods no matter what. Owing to its prequel’s immense popularity,Fairy Tail’s 100 Years Questhas high standards to meet.

Back in Season 1, the anime introduced many intriguing characters that left several fans mesmerized by the series’ plot and characters. Not to mention, the epic scene where the iconic trio, Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster, and Erza Scarlet, join forces to defeat a formidable opponent.
The iconic scene captivated fans, with the trio’s magical powers leaving them eager for more. AlthoughFairy Tail’s 100 Years Questhas returned, it has yet to make a strong impact on audiences; adding more standout moments in the anime could help leave a lasting impression.
WhyFairy TailStruggled to Make a Lasting Impact in the Shonen Genre
Despite garnering a massive fanbase worldwide,Fairy Tailsimply never took off the same way the Big Three did.Fairy Tailis seen by many as everything that’s wrong with shonen anime. The show had a solid plotline, but its execution fell short, mostly due to the series’ incessant fan service and predictable storyline.
Fan service isn’t inherently negative, as many anime include subtle elements of entertainment for their audience. However,Fairy Tailtakes a more direct approach, showcasing exaggerated character designs and revealing outfits.

Moreover,Fairy Tailfeels incredibly low-key. The stakes are rarely high, which is evident in the show’s generic and formulaic battles.
The “power of friendship” is a common theme in many anime, where protagonists often turn the tide in losing battles by recalling their bonds with friends and family.
While this ideaisn’t too far-fetched, and its inclusion doesn’t inherently detractfrom the story,Fairy Tailrelies on it as a form of plot armor repeatedly, making the series feel quite predictable.
