As a seasoned anime enthusiast who’s been around the block more times than I care to remember, let me guide you through the magical world of Fairy Tail! If this is your maiden voyage into the realm of Earth-land, fear not, for I shall serve as your compass and help you navigate the winding paths that lie ahead.

Fairy Tale is among the animes that have been running for quite some time, as evidenced by our list of extra episodes.

But what if it’s your first time tackling the franchise where do you start?

Here’s how to watch Fairy Tail in order, plus what else you need to know if you’re new to the show.

How to watch Fairy Tail in order

Start with the anime episodes and work your way through the seasons.

  1. ⁠Fairy Tail (2009) episode 1-175
  2. ⁠Fairy Tail (2014) – episodes 176-265
  3. Fairy Tail (2014) – episodes 267 to 275
  4. ⁠All other movies/OVAs (Movie 1: Phoenix Priestess, Movie 2: Dragon Cry, OVAs 1-9)

Regarding the OVAs, some of them are related to the primary storyline or at least share a similar universe, and there are others that don’t have a direct connection. For instance, “Fairy Academy: Yankee-kun and Yankee-chan” is set in an alternate universe, while “Fairy Tail x Rave” is a crossover with Hiro Mashima’s other series. If the timing is suitable, you might enjoy “Fairies’ Christmas,” which is the traditional holiday episode.

Regarding the movies “Phoenix Priestess” and “Dragon Cry”, we recommend watching them post the significant time leap event. There are numerous fan sites available for these series, including the r/fairytail subreddit where fans delve deeply into recommendations. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide how you prefer to experience the series – enjoy!

If certain characters’ episodes don’t interest you much, feel free to bypass those extra episodes. Back then, anime often had hundreds of episodes, but nowadays, it’s more common to have 12 or 26 episodes per series. With the manga available for binge-reading, immerse yourself and get that media reward!

What’s the plot of Fairy Tail?

Fairy Tail is a story set within the fictional world of Earth-Land, created by Hiro Mashima. This realm is inhabited by adventurers who harness magical abilities to assist its residents and earn rewards in exchange.

Fairy Tail tells the tale of this magical guild, where our protagonist, Natsu Dragneel, journeys through the realm of Fiore. Along his adventure, he encounters a budding mage named Lucy Heartfilia and extends an invitation for her to become part of the Fairy Tail team.

Absolutely, as the show progresses, it amasses more followers and both the characters and the overall production expand. This growth is evident across multiple platforms including television, online content, and spin-offs. The series concluded its broadcast in 2019. Additionally, there are movies and video games associated with it; some have already been released, while others are set to debut this very year.

How long is Fairy Tail?

As a dedicated moviegoer, let me share my thoughts on this captivating series that spans an astonishing 63 volumes, encompassing a massive 545 chapters! This epic tale is one you won’t want to miss.

If you’re keen on reading this manga, it’s important to know that Kodansha acquired the rights from Del Rey back in 2012. The last volume of the series was translated into English and published in 2018.

Additionally, there are several offshoot series such as “Fairy Tail: Ice Trail,” “Fairy Tail: Gaiden,” and more in the same universe.

In terms of the anime series, you’ll find a total of nine seasons, each consisting of approximately 36-40 episodes. Additionally, there are two movies and nine Original Video Animations (OVAs), similar to direct-to-video releases.
