Fairy Tail is a Japanese anime television series produced by A-1 Pictures, Dentsu, Satelight, Bridge, and CloverWorks. Based on the manga series Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima, the series premiered on TV Tokyo on October 12, 2009.[1] The series follows the journeys of Lucy Heartfilia, Natsu Dragneel and the Fairy Tail guild through 328 episodes, concluding its main run in 2019 before transitioning into the sequel series, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest.
Plot

The Prologue and Phantom Lord Saga
The series introduces Lucy Heartfilia, who joins Fairy Tail after Natsu Dragneel rescues her from a fraud. The guild's first major trial is a war against the Phantom Lord guild, initiated by Lucy's father. This arc establishes the guild's core principle: that their bonds of friendship are more powerful than any magic.
Tower of Heaven and Battle of Fairy Tail
The Tower of Heaven arc explores Erza Scarlet's past as a child slave. It introduces Jellal Fernandes and the R-System. Immediately following, the Battle of Fairy Tail sees Laxus Dreyar attempt a coup, forcing Natsu and Gajeel to team up for the first time to protect the guild's future.
Oración Seis and Edolas Sagas
Fairy Tail leads an alliance of four "Light Guilds" to dismantle the Oración Seis, a Dark Guild seeking the morality-altering weapon, Nirvana. This leads into the Edolas Arc, where the guild is sucked into a parallel dimension without natural magic. This saga is pivotal as it introduces Wendy Marvell and explains the origins of the Exceed race (Happy and Carla).
Tenrou Island Saga
During the guild's S-Class promotion exam on their sacred island, they are attacked by the Dark Guild Grimoire Heart. The arc marks the first appearance of the legendary dark wizard Zeref. The saga ends tragically when the dragon Acnologia destroys the island, causing the guild's core members to be frozen in time for seven years.
Key of the Starry Sky Arc
Following the seven-year timeskip, Lucy receives a mysterious clock hand from her deceased father. The guild must find the remaining pieces of the "Infinity Clock" while being hunted by a reformed Neo-Oración Seis. This arc bridges the power gap created by the timeskip.
Grand Magic Games and Eclipse Saga
Fairy Tail participates in a national tournament to regain their status as the No. 1 guild in Fiore. The tournament is revealed to be a front for the Eclipse Gate, a device intended to change history. The arc concludes with a massive battle against seven dragons that travel through the gate from 400 years in the past.[2]
Eclipse Celestial Spirits Arc
In this filler expansion, the twelve Zodiac Spirits revolt against their masters, seeking "total freedom" at the cost of their own lives. The mages must enter the Celestial Spirit World and perform rituals of sealing to return the spirits to their original forms.
Tartaros Saga
The guild battles Tartaros, a guild of demons created by Zeref. The demons attempt to use "Face" to wipe out all magic from the continent. This arc features the death of Natsu's father, Igneel, and results in the temporary disbanding of the Fairy Tail guild.
Alvarez Empire Saga
The final saga depicts a global war between the Kingdom of Fiore and the Alvarez Empire, led by Zeref. The arc reveals Natsu's true identity as E.N.D. (Etherious Natsu Dragneel). The series concludes with a final battle against Acnologia's physical and spiritual forms, ending with the guild reuniting for a new journey.[3]
Production
The production of the Fairy Tail anime is notable for its shifts in animation studios across three distinct "Series" cycles. Season 1 (2009–2013): A collaboration between A-1 Pictures and Satelight. This era featured a lighter color palette and the consistent use of "Magic Circles" (Mahōjin) during combat, a visual trope later phased out. Season 2 (2014–2016): Following a hiatus, the show returned as Fairy Tail (2014). Bridge replaced Satelight as the co-animation studio. This run introduced a darker, more saturated color scheme and sharper character designs to better reflect the manga's evolving art style.[4] Final Season (2018–2019): CloverWorks (a former subsidiary of A-1 Pictures) joined the production to finish the series. This era utilized advanced digital lighting and cinematic effects for the final war against the Alvarez Empire.[5]

The anime, also titled Fairy Tail and directed by Shinji Ishihira, premiered on TV Tokyo on October 12, 2009.[6] The series ended its run on March 30, 2013,[7] with reruns beginning to air on April 4, 2013, under the title Fairy Tail Best!.[8] Forty-one DVD volumes containing four episodes each have been released.[9] The Southeast Asian network Animax Asia aired the series locally in English.[10][11] On January 18, 2011, British anime distributor Manga Entertainment announced on Twitter that the company would release the anime series in bilingual format at the end of the year.[12] On April 21, 2011, they had confirmed that the first volume with 12 episodes would be released in February 2012;[13] however, they later announced that the first volume would be released on March 5, 2012.[14] In 2011, North American anime distributor Funimation Entertainment announced that they had acquired the first season of the ongoing series.[15] The series made its North American television debut on November 22, 2011, on the Funimation Channel.[16] The anime is also licensed by Madman Entertainment, who streamed and simulcasted the series on AnimeLab in Australia and New Zealand Melanesian Region (Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu), Polynesian Region (Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa, Tonga, and Tuvalu).[17] Funimation announced that the ninth installment would get the DVD/Blu-ray release on March 25, 2014.[18]

Reception
Fairy Tail has received a positive response from critics and viewers alike. In Southeast Asia, Fairy Tail won Animax Asia's "Anime of the Year" award in 2010.[59] In 2012, the anime series won the "Meilleur Anime Japonais" (best Japanese anime) award and the best French dubbing award at the 19th Anime & Manga Grand Prix in Paris.[60]
In reviewing the first Funimation Entertainment DVD volumes, Carlo Santos of Anime News Network praised the visuals, characters, and English voice acting, as well as the supporting characters for its comedic approach. However, Santos criticized both the anime's background music and CGI animation.[61] In his review of the second volume, Santos also praised the development of "a more substantial storyline," but also criticized the inconsistent animation and original material not present in the manga.[62] In his review of the third volume, Santos praised the improvements of the story and animation, and said that the volume "finally shows the [anime] series living up to its potential."[63] In his reviews of the fourth and sixth volumes, however, Santos praised the storyline's formulaic pattern, though saying that "unexpected wrinkles in the story [...] keep the action from getting too stale," but calling the outcomes "unpredictable".[64][65]
