Mavis is adorable. It's amazing, little did people know at that time that she was going to be the founder of one of the most amazing guilds on the continent.

I have a question though, so is there going to be a episode 92? or does fairy tail 2014 end here and start at fairy tail zero? or is fairy tail 2014 and fairy tail zero just seperate shows?

there is going to be an episode 92, it's just a new arc. basically fairy tail zero is just an arc in fairy tail 2014.

It's part of FT 2014. FT Zero episodes are treated as an arc here, which connects to a later arc. All episodes now being called "FT Zero - *insert episode name here*, like how they done with Tartaros arc episodes, where the episode names were "Tartaros prologue/chapter/epilogue *insert ep name here*".

OH GOD MAVIS IS SO CUTE.



Anyway it IS Fairy Tail (2014), but the arc is called Fairy Tail Zero (even if the mangas are separate).

Mavis is so tiny!! They added fillers at the start of this but it seems like it like it’ll focus on Zero from now on. It was a pretty good start to the arc and hopefully it gets better from here, it is a very short manga though so I’m not sure if they’ll add more stuff to it to stretch it out since it’s the most likely scenario.

Man, with the size of those heads how do the kids not fall over?

This is off to a great start so far. Hard to feel much sympathy for Red Lizard, they got what they deserved, but Mavis' good-nature and sadness kind of did.

Really psyched to see where this goes. I wish the eye catch hadn't shown Zeref, I skipped the opening to avoid spoilers. Oh well. Still really psyched to find out about the origin of Fairy Tail.

Does anyone else besides me feel that fairy tail zero could have basically been a really good fairy tail instead of a side story. I mean I think from what i've seen that it could have been a really good series about a group mages starting a guild.


just a thought,still like the anime but like I said just a thought

Alright good to know, this is getting pretty exciting. I love how much story there is to Fairy Tail, and the fact that they're showing how Fairy Tail formed is too much to handle, so good!

Pretty good introducing to FT Zero arc. I actually like the animation and Mavis is sure cute. >.< I think they did a great job with setting up the plot with the backstory of FT. The part with Natsu and Happy were a perfect match. Usually I don't give FT ep. more than 3/5, but this one definitely gets 5/5. Superb ep.

I am also looking forward for this arc. I can, as one that have read the manga throughout, say that for those who only watch the anime should really look forward for this arc. I think it can be one of the best FT arc and definitely the best it had in a looooooong time. :)

If you are talking about the manga (Fairy tail Zero), then it's finished I think.

Well Fairy Tail Zero is part of the 2014 anime series, and not a separate series, since that is the case, I wonder when they adapt a later chapter of the main manga series,


I wonder
I understand not during that in the manga since the Zero manga is a whole separate series from the main manga series, that is not the case in the anime.

Glad Zeeself died. He deserved it. I would have left Zera in the rubble.

The manga escalated quickly. Nice to see Zera act like a bitch in the new scenes.

Nice start to the Fairy Tail Zero arc. I hope it ends nicely too.

"We never thought about what to do for training in the first place!"

That one sentence describes the whole anime.

"Seven years later" xD Do they know any number besides seven?

The giant heads bothered me...but that's pretty common in anime in little characters..

Well, I'm torn. The story is interesting, but did they really need to make Mavis into such a Mary Sue? You can only go so far that way, before a character becomes funny or worse, feels psychotic.
But I think it'll be a fun arc.

That backstory ;;
It was nice getting to see some of Mavis's past, and I'm happy that this arc is focused around her and the beginnings of Fairy Tail. After Tartaros, I seriously need some lighthearted Fairy Tail fun. One of my favourite things about this series is how serious it can get and then pull a 180 in the next few episodes. I like the balance between humor and seriousness too.

So Zera is alive? I thought she died.

Wow we go back in time to Fairy Tail Zero.

I was wondering how they were going to make the transition from the main manga series to Zero, and they had 7 minutes of Natsu and Happy hi jinx, I hope when this is over they adapt chapter 417, and I do wonder in this adaption, we will cut back to Natsu and Happy at times to pad out the episodes, Zero is only 13 of 20 page chapters, and this is going be 12 episodes, there will be need for a lot of filler and padding. And great to see them bump into the same species of Mavis pet.

I do like the opening, it looks like they are going to keep the Mavis / Zera bath scene, they have it in the opening, and I was worried they were going to spoil things about Zera, luckily it is very vague and not that obvious, I will leave it that or else I will spoil things.

So Mavis was Cinderella, a terrible life treated like crap, enough that most people would go insane or think of suicide, but Mavis keeps a positive up beat attitude, yup she is Cinderella, only without the happy ending.

Red Lizard is a guild that the old Twilight Orge or Phantom Lord would be proud of. I wish we got more of a backstory on what kind of relationship the Red Lizard master had with Mavis parents. On one hand did he hate them so much that he wants to make Mavis life measurable, but on the other hand he is being kind by not throwing her out on the streets.

We get a filler story on Mavis bring Zera her lunch, in the manga Zera didn't get much screen time in the 1st chapter, all we saw her off before the Blue Skull attack, and we never saw her interact with Mavis until that attack, so that adds the scene of them running away and her saying how mean she has always been to Mavis more weight, and we see an example instead of being told. And we get more of an idea of her character before that tragic night.

And the scene when Zera collapse, that was so dark, one moment it looks like Mavis might finally a friend, the next moment she is drowning in tears and when she said she might never meet fairies now, I lost it there, that was so sad.

Time skip 7 years later, because of course it is 7 years, why wouldn't it be? And we meet the other 3 founders of Fairy Tail, Percht, Warrod, and Yury and things end on a more upbeat note.

I love the ending song, it is so catchy, I have to see it again.

Next week, we begin the founding of Fairy Tail, as our 4 founders meet.

All and all, I enjoyed this episode, the anime really captured the heart of Fairy Tail Zero, so off to a great start, can't wait till next week.


Man i haven't read the manga but it is as obvious as it can be that she is dead already.

Personally, I would actually like Mavis to be the MC instead lol. Would feel a lot more interesting with this kind of start for FT. Then again, thats after over 200 episodes of Natsu and Lucy so idk haha

Of course Mavis has a tragic backstory; she's a Fairy Tail character. That's OK; I like 'em that way.

The scene with Mavis and Zera at the end was a bit too sappy for my taste until Zera dropped. That was an oh shit. :(

Was expecting Zera to be the other girl in the OP... guess she's not. RIP.

Why do Fairy Tail kids have omega sized heads?

Oh nevermind, watching the next episode preview evidently it is Zera. Fucking false flag smh.

Backstory arc, and off to a good start already. Mavis though, some harsh childhood she had, guess being one of the important characters already make it necessary to have one lol.

And Zera's dead? I'm not sure. Last OP and ED, and of course they didn't disappoint.
