Interesting. I'm imagining this to turn into another ecchi manga though. He sure likes to work hard though doesn't he?

Great


Filler would imply that its either non-canon or made specifficaly to prolong the storyline.

Backstory of characters is a crucial part of narrative and calling it "filler" is outright ignorant.

Surprised this is being positively recieved. What sets Mavis apart from any other stock character?


Because she is from the time in the storyline we KNOW least about. Because she lived during time when


Its got less to do with who she is as character and more with in WHICH timespan that happens.

Good news. Looking foward to it. It still amuses me how some people hate FT, but still read it (for whatever reason they read it).

Ahh. Damn. I wanted a romance manga.

I can't say I'm interested in this, seems better if he would just do it in the original manga, since it's not like he has a plot to maintain. It can be added and be relevant to one of the next arcs, most of them feel like spin off adventures of the guild anyway.

Wow..FT is popular enough to have its own magazine. I hope the other authors of this magazine don't exploit the ecchi nature of the original manga and get overboard with the fanservice. -.-

On a side note, I like the new designs for the upcoming spring anime. & I gotta say I was surprised to see Aya Hirano reprise her role as Lucy. I guess this means the Haruhi franchise can be rekindled with new seasons & specials now that Aya-san can reprise her role as Haruhi.

I doubt Aya Hirano voicing as Haruhi has anything to do with it getting a sequel/special etc. But agreed, I was surprised too. Nobody can voice Lucy the same way now that the voice has grown in our hearts.

Same thing that sets Hashirama or Gold Roger apart from any other stock character. An important character of the background of the series that we know little about, who has been involved in important things we know little about.

Aya Hirano was always able to reprise her role as Haruhi. The limiting factor there is that the series author has released all of two volumes of Haruhi since 2007. For comparison, in that same timeframe, Reki Kawahara has released 16 volumes of Accel World, 14 volumes of Sword Art Online, and 2 volumes of Sword Art Online: Progressive. Mamare Touno has released 8 volumes of Maoyu Mao Yusha, and 7 volumes of Log Horizon. Ryohgo Narita has released 11 volumes of Baccano, 10 volumes of Durarara!, 5 volumes of Etsusa Bridge, and 3 or 4 miscellaneous other volumes.

It should be obvious from that why their publishers are pushing for anime series for them, while Haurhi's publisher is willing to leave the series languishing.

I agree! :) I think Aya-san's voice suits Lucy to a tee and no other seiyuu can outmatch her imo

Thanks for the clarification! I really don't know where to find reliable answers to my anime-related questions so I always turn to yahoo answers. The consensus to the discontinuation of the FT anime and Haruhi franchise was cos of Aya-san's scandal. I really thought that was a strange reason, if that was the case.

Slightly OT, now that there are 11 Haruhi novels released currently, there's hope for more Haruhi anime adaptations :D

Unfortunately it's not that simple, it's a combination of factors with the author's lack of output being the biggest. Here's a good rundown as to why we aren't getting more Haruhi anime:

Yup, quantity over quality. With 1 chapter a week I'd doubt FT would be any better though.
Which doesn't matter anyway as long as the the fans are pleased

If it was cannon, it should have been added to the main story.
Spin-offs are just side stories (see: Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals).
It doesn't seem so crucial to me if its not included in the main "story".

I will even take a wild guess and say that it won't even be backstory, it'll just be some random fanservice story about random things that happened to some random ppl during the past, using Mavis as a guise. Pretty important stuff.

Ignorance is bliss.

Instead of "working so hard" to make a lot of chapters per week or to make spin-offs specials etc.. He could spend this time working on the real plot and do less Fan sevice (it already reached an amount where you can say the manga is more fan service than plot)


At least he's a prolific writer unlike some mangaka who always ends putting his series on hiatus.

+1

u know that he have in stock like +6-7 chapters ahead the chapters that are published.
and according to what he said, he was working on FT plot when he still was working on Rave...
so he have his main story ready.
he draws very fast & other mangakas as kubo & oda said confirmed it and said that + his fast drawing he manage save the quality of his work

Elfen Lied has nothing to do with the fact that Fairy Tail is crap. Also, you're assuming that I add my favorites based on quality of the show, which is not the case. Elfen Lied>Fairy Tail quality wise, though.

Natsu and Gray are some of the most boring shounen protags ever.
