The anime's first film, "FairyTail the Movie: Phoenix Princess," was in Japanese theaters in August 2012. In July 2016, Mashima revealed in that he is directly working on a new anime project but with no more details as to its specifics.

"FairyTail" is an action-fantasy, manga series written and illustrated by Hiro Mashima. It is his second major publication, subsequent to RAVE. The "FairyTail" series has been published in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine since 2006 and produced 48 total episodes. A-1 Pictures produced an anime adaptation of "FairyTail" which started airing in 2009 and ended in March 2013, reports Otakutale.

"FairyTail" is a story about a guild of young, powerful wizards who call their guild as "FairyTail" family. It is set in an imaginary Earth where a boy named Natsu teams up with an unlikely friend, Lucy Heartfilia, as the latter hopes of becoming a potent wizard.
