The official website for the television anime adaptation of Hiro Mashima and Atsuo Ueda’s “Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest” sequel manga revealed four new cast members.
Tetsuya Kakihara, Aya Hirano, Rie Kugimiya, and Yūichi Nakamura join the cast alongside returning voice actors such as Sayaka Ōhara, Satomi Satou, and Yui Horie, reprising their roles as Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Happy, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Wendy, and Charle, respectively.
Shinji Ishihara, the director of the original “Fairy Tail” anime series, serves as the chief director for the new anime, with Toshinori Watanabe directing at J.C. Staff. Atsuhiro Tomioka supervises the anime’s scripts, and Yurika Sako designs the characters. Shōji Hata and Yasuharu Takanashi return as sound director and music composer, respectively.
The manga, published by Kodansha USA Publishing, follows Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Erza, and the Fairy Tail guild as they go on the “100 Years Quest” – a challenging mission that no one has attempted in over a century.
Atsuo Ueda launched the sequel manga in Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket app in July 2018, with Mashima providing the original storyboards. The 17th compiled volume was released on April 9.
The original “Fairy Tail” manga has inspired multiple anime adaptations, films, OVAs, and spinoff manga. The new anime is set to premiere in July.
