mangá creator Hiro Mashima announced at midnight on Tuesday that his Fairy Tail and Rave (Rave Master) crossover mangá is being adapted into anime. The animê will be bundled on DVD with the special edition of Fairy Tail's 39th mangá volume on August 16.
In the crossover story, Fairy Tail's main character Natsu and Rave's main character Haru are lost, so Lucy and Elie —the heroines of both series — embark on a procurar for them.
Mashima published the original crossover one-shot mangá story in the May issue of Kodansha's Magazine Special magazine in 2011. In addition to the material he already created for the crossover manga, Mashima is drawing the original artwork for new sequences in the anime. The new sequences will add Musica and Let, two Rave characters who did not appear in the crossover manga. Mashima posted the animation correction sheet below.
Upon Mashima's posting of Haru's animation correction sheet, Haru's voice actor Tomokazu Seki repeated, "Long time no see." Chihiro Yonekura, a singer of theme songs for both anime, also welcomed the news.
Mashima assured Fairy Tail fãs that they can still enjoy the crossover animê even if they have not read Rave yet — although he added that they will enjoy the crossover mais if they do know Rave. He noted that he is supervising all parts of the crossover animê personally.
Like Fairy Tail, Rave is another fantasia action mangá created por Mashima and adapted into anime. Tokyopop had published the mangá under the name Rave Master from 2003 until 2009, when Kodansha ended its contract with Tokyopop. Del Rey then announced at New York animê Festival in 2009 that it picked up the license. The animê premiered in Cartoon Network's Toonami block in June of 2004. The American televisão network Syfy then launched the animê during mangá Entertainment's Ani-Monday programming block in 2009.
Del Rey published 12 volumes of the original Fairy Tail mangá in North America, and Kodansha resumed publishing the mangá with the 13th volume in 2011. The mangá inspired a televisão animê that just ended on March 30 with the words "To Be Continued." Mashima added, "It's actually not over yet. I can't say mais than this, but I hope you watch the rerun starting in April and wait for the dia I can announce some good news." Crunchyroll streamed the Fairy Tail series as it aired in Japan. Funimation released the anime's fourth part on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in North America in February 2012.
