Completely different from fairy tail. The character designs are similar that’s all you should probably watch it before you say something like that

I agree with you, Hiro Mashima have always had similar characters design from his previous work. If you can look past that fact then I think you could enjoy the show.

Not really reusing. It's art-style thing. Many authors have this trait when doing different works. It takes time for art-style to change.

Atleast its not as long as Fairy Tail full of fillers. Read comparison articles, maximum times its proven Edens Zero storyline is better than that of Fairy Tail.

I watched 10 episodes from this so far and in my opinion it is better than early episodes of fairy tale. Also, there is no fillers


ALso, this anime is not like Fairy tale. Only similarities is that some characters look same, but story is different and this takes place in future (has spaceship and modern tech)

Dark?. It has edgy touches but not at all dark. although to a certain extent it is more "dramatic". since in the end no character dies. rebbeca always comes out changing the world or something. she is the deus ex machina of all history

Nah I don’t get where all the hate comes from for fairy tail and even more so hate for this story for simply being created by the same mangaka I feel like that’s pretty dumb and you should let your own judgment decide if something is enjoyable or not, the story gets pretty dark where as fairy tail would hardly ever dabble with the idea of death edenszero deals with discrimination, real world crimes like human trafficking and probably little hints were made to worst crimes. I like that the show feels like fairy tail but it’s not I feel like after 4-5 more arcs? I forgot which one exactly but a certain arc when animated I think will change people’s views on how they see the show

Could you define "superior"?

If we focus on how the 2 series attract attention, sales, popularity, etc. so no, EZ is not superior to FT, not even close to RM.

Now, if we focus on other aspects such as characters, theme, plot, subject, interests, style, rhythm, FT is much better in general. But, theme, plot, and theme-wise, EZ does so much better individually.

So let's ask ourselves the following question.
"If the reader didn't read the story, would they miss something?"

Well, in the case of EZ, what does this series offer that is original? The one that people compare the series with FT, OP, ReZero, even DB (the relics). This makes me believe that the series does not offer anything new. Except for shiki's ability (although his powers remind me a lot of "Gravity Rush"). I think that if someone didn't watch the series, nothing would happen.

Now with FT, what did the series offer at the time? Although at first FT was compared to OP because had similarities in the characters (gildarts) and also because it's from the fantasy genre. FT quickly showed its "originality". At that time, even now, the series stands out as one of the best fantasy series. Has also been considered one of the best shonen from 2008 to 2015. Competing with bleach, naruto, OP, HxH, KHR, etc and many times surpassing them in some periods of time. So if a reader didn't read FT. then if they could miss something.

When and in what way did FT surpass bleach, naruto, OP or HxH? In both score and popularity FT is the lowest of them. I have seen all of them and think FT is the worst one, and i am not the only one who thinks that way.

I don't think you know meaning of dues ex machine if your stating that. Rebecca shown she doesn't fixed each issue especially different moments. Also people have die and shown to be darker than previous works. It is doing things unique to itself compare previous works.

FT is still among Big 4. You don't leave that despite what happened to it otherwise we could say same about about Naruto and Bleach on their own issues and even some thing they are more compare to FT. Also MAL isn't accurate to use as a source when we know how biased people are.There still those who prefer it over the others and it's not one person either.

Edens zero is a failed fairy tail clone, it’s not doing anything special that even beats even the likes of Seven Deadly Sins, Edens zero is going to fail the same way Seven Deadly Sins did in the future, SDS was notorious in its prime then at the end of the day it failed in sales, popularity and quality so I’m sure by the time season 3 comes JC Staff will give Edens Zero to a bad studio to ruin, mark my words.

Didn't know you were talking about manga.
However it is not hard to be top x in a weekly, monthly list. It depends how many weeks a manga vol has already been released, how many vol there have been released in the timeframe and if they even released a vol at all ( cries in HxH).

You should use a list with overall sales if you want to compare the popularity of a manga.

The term big 4 or big 5 is well known. They are the most extensive and best-known series of both manga and anime.

In some sites or rankings they place the big 4 as:

OP, Naruto, Bleach and DB or OP, Naruto, Bleach and FT

and the big 5 as:

OP, Naruto, Bleach, FT and DB or OP, Naruto, Bleach, FT and Reborn


just look for it. Example: from the big 5 only FT and DB have a complete original translation into Spanish (I think FT is missing the third season and dragon cry. Although according to a Netflix report. It is already in the process of translation)


Links big 4/5:

However it is not hard to be top x in a weekly, monthly list. It depends how many weeks a manga vol has already been released, how many vol there have been released in the timeframe and if they even released a vol at all ( cries in HxH).

You should use a list with overall sales if you want to compare the popularity of a manga.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_manga



you did not see all the links right?

although I put many that were weekly there are others that are annual ._.
look at these that are more general

From these links I can see that FT surpased bleach with sales in 2013, but like you can see in my link FT is still behind bleach in lifetime sales. Then there is a link were bleach is also behind FT. In another link FT is before HxH on this random booksite. On another top 100 list FT is behind all four of them.

I will give you bleach, everyone started to hate bleach after the last arcs. But on none of these links surpased FT one piece or naruto.

I have never heard the term Big 4 before. And why is is one of the biggest anime and manga websites not an accurate source, this is basically the best source you can get. There is no FT bias an MAL, because you can find people how dislike FT everywere on the internet: reddit youtube twitter etc.
I am not trying to sh*t on FT, i think the show is ok, but there are valid reasons why people dislike it.


The term big 4 or big 5 is well known. They are the most extensive and best-known series of both manga and anime.

In some sites or rankings they place the big 4 as:

OP, Naruto, Bleach and DB or OP, Naruto, Bleach and FT

and the big 5 as:

OP, Naruto, Bleach, FT and DB or OP, Naruto, Bleach, FT and Reborn


just look for it. Example: from the big 5 only FT and DB have a complete original translation into Spanish (I think FT is missing the third season and dragon cry. Although according to a Netflix report. It is already in the process of translation)


Links big 4/5:

If the term is really that well known I would have heard it before. I asked some friends on discord and none of them knew the term.

The guys who created this term seem to not know what the Big 3 are, the most popular shonen manga at the beginning of 2000 until mid 2000. When the Big 3 were a thing, FT just started. Hitman was not as popular as the the Big 3, it also got its anime later. DB was long over when the Big 3 were a thing.

The big 3 were overwhelmingly known through all the 2000s (Mainly OP, Naruto, and Bleach, with a bit of DB in the middle), it could also be extended to the big 4 or 5. We cannot be blamed because younger people, that were little kids at that time, can't possibly remember that! The Big 3 were a hit in all developed world (that had access mainly to animes) If you don't know that or don't remember that it's your lack of knowledge! And it will not be because of that that the "big nr" term wasn't real, only just for the youngsters to be good with themselves -.-

ANYWHO!!...

Just an assumption, but he might've thought it failed because of the MAL score. I am probably wrong tho.
I think it is obvious we don't use MAL as how judge series given how it can be biased on how people can vote. Should see what they do when Animes try to go higher especially near FMA series.


That's a problem on MAL nowadays. If you see the people that are willingly downrating shows with overly low scores (1 - 3) they are all (or a major part of them) very new to MAL (from 2019 or soo to this day) which means that they are very new to animes or very new reviewing animes normally basing the animes with their personal tastes, being an anime they like a 7 or more and all the others 3 or less (normally 1).
A major part of those guys came from Twitter, Reddit, and many other places with too many toxic people, and that is transported to everything they do on MAL (sh*ty reviews, sh*ty scores, sh*ty forum replays, sh*ty talk, sh*ty etc).
There was a time that MAL was very good place to see if an anime was good to watch or not... At this point... Don't base yourself on those reviews! Good shows are downrated because ppl don't like the author, or previous works, or similar works from other authors or even other sources (What's with every isekai anime needs to be compared to SAO??). The worst part it's that those comments are showing on the front page of the anime page.
Right now the reviews (not all of them though) are a sh*t show of how dumb.zzes people are!

For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations.

I'm not a big fan of Fairytail. Actually, I hate it. Friendship or the meaning of friendship should not be a plot device / Deus ex machina. I'm more worried about Shiki being a Marry Sue than a ripoff of Natsu, (or vice versa). We got a cameo of the other cast members quite early making their exit. Perhaps it's symbolism for the disembarkation from the idea of the FT universe, replaced by the docking into this one.

The mangaka can't design characters outside of his niche work: this is an emulation or a review-based upgrade of Fairytail. I think the mangaka worked on certain things that went wrong or roadblocked FairyTail's story. The environment change from land to space for instance: he'll never run into a roadblock unless it's writer's-block. That being said, the mangaka cannot design outside of his niche. If that's limited to characters, we'll soon find out.
Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't.  Lie until you aren't lying anymore!

FT is still among Big 4. You don't leave that despite what happened to it otherwise we could say same about about Naruto and Bleach on their own issues and even some thing they are more compare to FT. Also MAL isn't accurate to use as a source when we know how biased people are.There still those who prefer it over the others and it's not one person either. Though we getting off topic on here as this isn't talk on different series especially these.

100 Years Quest -> Alvarez Empire

Final arc was trash or the last half at very least Many people didn´t like that arc I also think Zeref´s rematch fight was the worst fight of them all

Bleach had the same issues I´ve read the manga but I still like both series


Canon Sequel of Fairy Tail ( 100 Years Quest ) is fixing some of the main series issues

Less Nakama power

More Logical wins

Power Scaling is a bit better not messed up as Alvarez was

Characters actual losing.

The first 11 chapters or so of the sequel may give Alvarez vibes but it isn´t like that.

I recommend it and the villians are not treated as Jokes like Spriggans 12

Edens Zero is a progressive adventure toward a certain goal (along with new ones on the way) while Fairy Tail was a more passive type of story. Arcs build up on the previous ones in EZ while in FT they went to the guild to take missions and along the way we got hints at the real story about Zeref and Acnologia which was being slightly focused around most arcs, like Tower of Heaven and Erza & Jellal's story, or Gray and Deliora story used to foreshadow Zeref. Gildartz foreshadowed Acno... but even with that build up in FT, EZ is more focused.

That core difference is the biggest difference between them.

Fairy Tail in a sense used to be very enjoyable of a shounen story as the author is known for creating a rich world with different types of characters, but they are kind of like a stock market type of breed - mass produced, but enjoyable.

When Edens Zero ends it will most likely be a pretty good shounen to binge with how well it sets itself up for the future, with foreshadowing and intriguing events. The way the cast of characters are introduced into the story is also pretty original, like Weisz's past-future storyline.
