Did I just say that out loud~~?!!!
I'm just going to assume that Mashima is doing the thing that Hayao Miyazaki does and have the same "typecast actors" starring in all his works.

EDIT: Look!

Did someone say axe magnet?
That sure was some Mashima on full display right there.
Cat ears and bondage in the first chapter.

But hey, I'm fully prepared for another really REALLY stupid, fanservice heavy, friendship story. Let's enjoy this crazy ride.

I won this avatar on a technicality this thick.
I remember reading somewhere that Mashima names his male protagonists after the seasons. There is Haru (spring) from Rave Master and Natsu (summer) from Fairy Tail. What is Shiki from this new series? I know it isn't autumn (Aki) or winter (Fuyu). Has he even used the names Aki or Fuyu for anything?

This post is pathetic.
There's a note during one of the pages that says Shiki is a special name for him so he's using it again. Can't be too mad about that really.

...Why?

If I ever made a list of finished mangas that deserve a sequel, Fairy Tail would be at the very end of that list, together with Naruto.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Started off dismissive because of the really blatant recycled character designs in that color spread (not counting Plue and Happy, since they're mascots, so whatever) but I'll admit the change in setting got me a little more interested. Mashima may not be the most inspired writer of all time but I still enjoy the energy behind his stuff.

So is this actually supposed to be new or just Fairy Tail time skip 3: Kids Edition?
For some reason I think Fairy Tail had 3 time skips already in the manga but either way I left after the first one and never looked back.

I won't be following this but there better be a reveal that the tsundere bots told the new lucy and of their plan and she was just acting

fits the youtube thing and also means she can tell new natsu at some point to cheer him up so he can beat someone up

iirc the only actual casualty that didn't come back to life was... simon? I think that was his name

unless you count bad guys because apparently some of them inexplicably died off screen and got brought back as zombies

Lucy's father and Igneel both died for real, IIRC.

Simon, Nearly all of the demons, Nearly all of Hade's crew, about half of the Alvarez guys, Mavis and Zeref, and that's about all I can remember

The Zeref fight was rushed as hell and Natsu punches the poo poo out of the evil dragon guy with a giant fist of friendship.

King Golf and Dan-Doh kinda succeeded there.

Robot x Lazerbeam kinda lost me early on with the words most prozaic scotsman in literary history as its mc and golf not being particularly my bag.

But hey, kudos for it lasting a year, at least.

Well, Mashima clearly enjoyed Nier Automata and Gravity Rush, and still likes boobs and butts and bondage.

The kind of mesoamerican space dragon design was cool. A shame that the chapter ending lines are already sidelining Lucy.

I remember following Fairy Tail up until they transported to opposite land where Natsu there was good at driving cars. I read some of that guy's other series and it's incredible that he has so many and they're all the literal same series (deep insight). I lost interest though because everyone became a dragon slayer and also every fight was the most cliché power of friendship. I read some stuff on the wiki once and it just sounded horrifically convoluted the longer it went on.

those are all true about fairy tail and also rave master was better. this first chapter of the new series seems like more fairy tail to me, but the premise is kinda cool and I never disliked fairy tail enough to actually drop it so I'll prob check in on this occasionally too

on robot x laserbeam: I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did tbh
