| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well this was refreshing, more so than the previous arc. It feels different because it explores some of the other parts from the show in more details. We got a new OP song as well featuring characters like Mavis in it. The artwork is still pretty much the same although I think the music got a bit more funky? Hmm, well the character designs does show some of them as kids because of the timeline. But yeah, it's nice to know more about Mavis and her past including parts with Zera. Fairy Tail Zero is actually fairly important considering it covers the foundation of the series. Looking forward to more. |

| A lot of filler and padding in this episode but I quite liked it. Being Mavis was painful. Too bad she never got to go to school. New opening is cool. RIP Zera? Although judging from the opening she's fine. |
 |
| First episode I could watch through in a very long time. Mavis's arc is just so good. The ED song was so nice<3 |
 |
| Eh, I don't really care for the new opening. I guess it'll be kind of nice to learn more about Mavis, as well as Fairy Tail's roots. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Rather small detail, and i'm assuming most of you caught on, but did you notice the recurring theme of the number '7' which Fairy Tail loves so much, in '7 years later'. Cute little detail. |
 |
| Pretty chill episode, looking forward to see how they adapt the rest of Zero. And even though the part with Natsu and Happy was filler you feel as if that was exactly how it went down before they actually started training, wandering aimlessly doing completely nothing. |

| I love the new OP and ED~~~ It was sad episode though, I felt bad for Mavis because they were treating her that way........... But it was nice seeing some of her past, I can't wait for more! |
| Fairy tail ZERO is here. <3 I like the new OP. It's refreshing Mavis.. You made me cry so hard. She's such a sweetheart and very kawaii. |
 |
| So I guess Fairy Tail is pulling a Bleach Back to the Pendulum and One Piece Luffy ,Sabo and Ace arc, interesting more better then filler hell in Naruto. |
 |
| an entire library handed to someone for "7 years"...no doubt she became The Strategist |
 |
| The OP was good, but the ED stood out the most. I like the story so far. I'm looking forward to the next episode to see how the it progresses. |
 |
| That girl is Zera in the OP. Bud didn't she die??? |

| Nice new opening and ending, little Mavis was so cute and positive. Mod Edit: Removed quote referencing edited post. |

| at last they start FT zero. i'll watch fairy tail again, just for this arc. my fav arc :3 the seiyuu did a very good job. noto mamiko has a very soft voice. and it's rare for me to hear hanakana like that. |
| Sugoi! We will know the Makarov's dad, remember of Warren and the second master too! |

| Awesome first episode to the new arc. Can't w8 to find out more about the foundation of FT. I also loved the OP, much more than the previous. |

| Amazing start to adapting FT Zero. Loved how they connected it to the present day plot by having Natsu and Happy travel back to Tenroujima. The new opening and ending themes are soooo good. Mavis is one of the best characters in the show, extremely adorable. |
 |
| Great start to one of the best arcs. Zera's death was sad, right after they became friends.. |
 |
| Nice. I loved FT zero's manga a lot so glad they'll be adapting it. Mavis's cuteness overload was too much <3 How the hell can anyone have the heart to abuse such an adorable girl. They all deserved to die. Assholes! Zera's voiced by HanaKana? Noto Mamiko and HanaKana being together? Is that a first? Cuteness overload incoming. ED was great |
 |
| I don't think Zera is dead but we will know afterwards whether she is or not still love how mavis backgroung does not affect her |

| guys please stop the spoilers >.> oh i love this  |
| Mavis looks pretty cute :3 But since I read the manga, I knew that she would be mistreated :( Still, I guess they pulled the same trope as most other main FT guild members - one or both parents died. Still, I like how Mavis is still positive even on the verge of crying...and poor Zera :'( Kana did a pretty good voice on Zera, it suits her a lot. And the best parts from Natsu and Happy's wandering about in Tenroujima island are their shocked reaction from knowing that they never trained themselves yet, and...Natsu's stung face from the bees xD New intro and ending songs are pretty nice. |
 |
| I loved the episode. The filler with Natsu and Happy was nice and funny and appropiate to tell the events of the arc. About Zero in general, I love it, Mavis is a cutie now, and also in her childhood, God, I love her so muh <3 And Zera is voiced by Kana Hanazawa? That was surprising, HanaKana in FT... is like a dream come true. Her death was sad, she was a jerk with Mavis at the beginning, but when she died, her dead was pitiful :( Nice opening and endings. I'm hyped to see Zeref's moments of Zero animated. Barion-Zara said: Actually, it's not the first time that Mamiko Noto and HanaKana are featured in the same anime. They also played roles in Akame ga Kill, but that thing didn't ended well...Zera's voiced by HanaKana? Noto Mamiko and HanaKana being together? Is that a first? Cuteness overload incoming. |
 |
| I love to OP and ED anf this arc seems like it's going to be pretty good :'3 |
 |
| I don't read FT manga, but I happened to have read Fariy Tail Zero thinking it wouldn't get adapted... Knowing the story already, I couldn't keep myself from bawling my eyes out this episode TT.TT If only I didn't read it... I wouldn't have even flinched.. |
 |
| the OP is kinda cool god dammit man why are they mean to her fo no reason that's just messed up she's only six years old and damn this is gonna be awesome |

Axelucard_ said: the OP is kinda cool god dammit man why are they mean to her fo no reason that's just messed up she's only six years old and damn this is gonna be awesome You gotta remember that in the times this is set, there's no "magic council" or any sort of coherent structure for guilds. Its a chaotic world where those with magic take what they want. Those who form magic guilds don't do it for "fun" or for "peace". They do it because they can consolidate power. So its not surprising that people like that would be the kind of people to treat a kid like that. To add to that, Mavis is there because of her dead parents debt. She IS pretty much nothing else but a useless slave. |
 |
| Natsu and Happy travelling to Tenroujima was a nice addition. How can you treat something so cute like that ;A; Little Mavis is pure diabetes <3 Poor Mavis crying ;-; Loved the new ED. OP was pretty decent too. Adaptation looking good so far, can't wait for the next episode! |

| i'm looking foward to this. becasue this story is the one that i'm looking foward into, from all of the arc. Mavis, Zeref, what even happened in the past, i really want to know more of that. and tbh, i really like the op, but i don't know about the ed. just okay i guess. and this episode somewhat felt so sad, tbh i almost cried. seeing mavis's past to be like that. |
 |
| So much sadness and cuteness in a single episode. :'( |
| I'm at like episode 30 of fairy tail but i watched and read this part so i skipped the other episodes for later. I remember how Mavis was bullied but what hurts the most is what'll happen later :'( Sniff sniff |
 |
| ayy the new OP and ED are fantastic. The proportions for Mavis and Zera's heads looked incorrect to me. Some filler but oh well. I think this arc will be quite sentimental, having read the manga. For some reason this episode made me feel quite nostalgic too, reminded me of the old FT. |
| The OP is pretty decent. |
| Fairy Tail Zero, finally. The part featuring Natsu and Happy at the beginning was a great introduction |

| My Brother told me this is gonna be gud. HE was right :D |
| It's weird not seeing Lucy in the OP at all. Typically OP's last for 11-13 episodes so I wonder if we will be getting a new OP after Fairy Tail Zero or if they're going to extend the episodes out. That aside, they did a wonderful job adapting from the manga and I think that the filler scenes were pretty funny. I'm really excited for this. |
| I was really excited for this and so far with this first episode I can say I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see the next episode. The first part with Natsu and Happy felt kind of like a filler but other than that, I loved the OP and ED and omg Young Mavis is sooooooooo cute! It was really interesting to see how her life was before Fairy Tail and can't wait to see what happens now that the founding members of Fairy Tail are all there! Here is my full review on the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_ihZuPqy94&feature=youtu.be |
| The OP was better than the Tartarus arc. |
 |
| Great start to Fairy Tail Zero. Fairy Tail's openings are always so good. |
| Mavis was so cute <3 . I'm really looking forward to Zero, It's a nice change from the original. |
