Fairy Tail's Second Film Announced

Weekly Shonen Magazine in Japan has announced that a second film for Fairy Tail has been greenlit. No other information is available at this time, but as with most things, additional news is expected to leak out in earnest in the coming weeks.

Fairy Tail's first film was released in 2012, and while I haven't seen it yet (or any of the anime, despite owning a chunk of it), I am a huge fan of the manga, so I hope this movie turns out to be a good one.

Update: Fairy Tail and One Piece

Just a few news tidbits I wanted to throw out to you all, as we move forward.

I had planned to continue doing chapter-by-chapter reviews of Fairy Tail, but in doing so, it's taking up way too much of my writing time in comparison to other updates and my own personal original writing, not to mention just taking way too long to read it. Don't worry though, I still plan on documenting my journey through the manga – we're just shifting gears a bit here.

The most recent chapter review – Chapter 13 – will be the last, as it is the final chapter contained in Volume 2. The Fairy Tail reviews will continue onward in 'Volume' format from this point forward. This also means that I cannot guarantee them to continue coming out on a 'daily' basis anymore unfortunately.

In addition to that – you may have noticed that despite having two chapters each in the weekly Bleach and Naruto coverings, there haven't been any One Piece reviews as originally promised. This is because I overestimated how nigh-impossible it would be to review One Piece in such a form. I love the series, I've read every chapter and am completely up to date on it – but it's something that's way too in-depth, character-filled, and overall insane for me to cover in a weekly manner – at least not in any way that's worth reading.

As such, there will be no weekly One Piece reviews. My apologies for not being able to carry through on this one.

Thank you for understanding this shift in blog policy (for lack of a better word).

Fairy Tail - Chapter 13: Shinigami Laughs Twice

Synopsis: The military keeps people out of the train station, as they gather reports from from people who were ousted out of it by the Eisenwald mages. From the cart, Lucy points out that they took over a train, which she can't understand as it can only go over land. Gray points out it's high speed however, so they must be in a hurry to carry out their plans. Lucy says that the military is already pretty spread out, so maybe they'll get arrested quickly, and Erza remarks that she hopes so.

Fairy Tail - Chapter 12: Cursed Song

Synopsis: Erza despairs that she left Natsu on the train in an overly-dramatic manner, and Lucy comments that everyone in Fairy Tail is similar, but Gray claims he's more normal than they are. Erza attempts to get one of the train conductors to stop the train, but he refuses, prompting Erza to send Happy to pull the emergency stop lever. Lucy despairs over what a mess this is, and Gray agrees, but he's adding to the problem as he's somehow managed to lose his clothes again.

Fairy Tail - Chapter 11: Natsu Is On The Train

Synopsis: At the Magnolia train station, Natsu and Gray both continue to worry about why Erza might have needed them. They get into a fight over it, and Lucy shouts for them to quit causing trouble. Natsu asks why she came along anyway, and Lucy explains that Mirajane asked her to come and keep everyone from fighting with each other.

Fairy Tail - Chapter 10: Armor Mage

Synopsis: As Lucy looks over the request board for a good job to take, Mirajane tells her to let her know when she picks out one, as Master is out at a meeting. Lucy asks about the meeting, and Mirajane explains by borrowing a Light Pen (which you can use to write in the air) from another mage - she explains that guild masters from all the different areas come together to report about their guilds. The ten council members, who are connected to the government, are at the top of the food chain. From there, guild masters (like Makarov) are next, and often meet to notify each other about council decisions, and how to express the news to their guilds.

Fairy Tail - Chapter 9: Dear Kaby

Synopsis: As the scenery pans over the the defeated Duke and his men, Lucy reiterates that 'Day Break' is a book that the Duke of Evaroo forced Kemu Zaleon to write about himself (the Duke). It has such terrible writing that Lucy couldn't believe that Zaleon could have written it, which is what first made her think there was a secret in the book. Natsu doesn't understand, and they return to Melon with the book, who is surprised to see it.

Fairy Tail - Chapter 8: Lucy V.S. The Duke of Evaroo

Synopsis: The Duke is offended by Lucy's accusation that he's an enemy of literature, proclaiming himself to be highly educated. Lucy makes a crack about his taste in women, and he pulls on her arms giving her pain. He demands to know what the secret is, and Lucy's keys are out of reach on the floor, but she refuses to answer. He threatens to break her arms if she won't talk, but she sticks her tongue out at him. He says that both the book and the secret are rightfully his anyway, as he was the one who made Kemu Zaleon write it in the first place. Lucy is shocked at this, but before either can speak again, Happy arrives and dropkicks the Duke in the head, allowing Lucy to get away.

Fairy Tail - Chapter 7: The Weak Point of a Mage

Synopsis: The smaller Vanish Brother notes that the mages of Fairy Tail think highly of themselves, which the larger brother confirms saying they do hear about them a lot. However, they agree, a mage is still a mage, and are no match for professional mercenary soldiers. Natsu taunts them by lighting fire spelling 'Come on' on his finger tips, saying that he can take them both at once. The brothers don't like him looking down on them like that, but remain calm and attack. The smaller sweeps at Natsu with the pan, which Natsu dodges, only to be grabbed by the larger brother and thrown into a bookshelf and through a wall. Natsu grabs a stair's railway, but the smaller brother pursues him. Natsu has to dodge the pan again, and lands on the next floor down - apparently where the maids had attacked them and still lay - asking if it's okay for them to break their employer's house like this.

Fairy Tail – Chapter 6: Infiltrating the Duke of Evaroo's Mansion!!

Synopsis: Using Happy's 'Wings' magic to fly to the roof, Natsu asks Lucy why they have to sneak in. Lucy says that because what they're doing is basically robbery, they have to sneak in, despite Natsu's complaints that this isn't what he'd planned at all. Lucy says they can't just go blasting their way in because the Duke isn't a 'villain', but is an influential, albeit annoyingly perverted, man, and if they mess up the military will take action. Natsu brings up Lucy wanting revenge, and she says that she'll hide his shoes in addition to them burning the book, which Natsu and Happy find incredibly petty.

Fairy Tail - Chapter 5: Day Break

Synopsis: After thinking about it, Lucy decides that this job seems like it should be pretty easy, and Happy asks why she's so gung-ho about it when she didn't like it at first, to which she says it's because it's her first job. Lucy also says she's confident in her sexiness, so pulling one over on the perverted duke should be easy - however, she's still going to be taking most of the reward, at an 8:1:1 ratio, though Happy misunderstands and thinks she means she's only taking a 10% of it.

Fairy Tail - Omake 1: Happy's Little Job

Synopsis: One of Happy's favorite things is fish, and one day while looking at the request board at the guild, he found the perfect job for him. There was a 30,000 jewel reward to catch the extremely rare HanezaCana winged fish, which is considered a delicacy. As a bonus, the person who completes the assignment will get to eat the fish with the client.

Fairy Tail - Chapter 4: Stellar Spirit of the Canis Minor

Synopsis: The chapter opens with Lucy noting exactly where Fairy Tail's headquarters is before mentioning that she's found a place to rent that, while expensive, is in a convenient location for her. As Lucy gets out of a comfortable bath and looks over how nice her apartment is, she is stunned when she returns to her room to find Natsu and Happy there, eating her food. She kicks them both and demands to know why they're there, to which Natsu simply explains that Mirajane told him and he wanted to come visit her, despite Lucy's repeated pleas for him to leave. Natsu picks up some papers off of Lucy's desk which she immediately takes back and again demands he leave.

Fairy Tail - Chapter 3: The Salmander, The Monkey, & The Bull

Synopsis: After a page brief re-cap of how she got into this situation, Lucy is shown to still be inside of Horologium back in the Balkan's lair, as it hyperly dances around her. It still seems happy to have a woman, when suddenly Horologium disappears saying that time was up, and leaves Lucy alone with the monster.

Fairy Tail – Chapter 2: The Master Appears

Synopsis: Lucy marvels at how huge the headquarters is, before entering with Natsu and Happy. Inside, a large crowd of people are eating, and Mirajane (the female mage from Lucy's magazine) is acting as waitress. A man with a pompadour calls her over and blows a heart-shaped smoke ring for her, and asks if she'll go on a date with him. Exasperated, Mirajane does a hand motion, and transforms into the image of the man's wife, asking about her, and the man backs off.

Fairy Tail – Chapter 1: Fairy Tail

Synopsis: Inside of a large building, a black haired woman named Urrutia rolls a crystal ball up and down her arm, somehow breaking and mending it again and again. Across a table, a shadowed figure named Sieglein tells her to stop playing around during the meeting, but she complains that she's bored. A blue haired male complains of his own boredom, causing outrage with an old man who wants to know how they became council members in the first place, to which the male says it's because of how strong their magic is. Another unseen face hushes them both, saying that the Magic World has many problems, but their main problem at the moment is 'Fairy Tail'.
