The upcoming Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest is not an original anime series nor it is an original feature film. It is an adaptation of a manga series by the same name, just like the main Fairy Tail series that came before it.
In fact, the original manga was actually first published back in 2018 with the official English translation published in 2019. Interestingly enough, while the story is written by the original author of Fairy Tail,Hiro Mashima, the art is drawn by an artist named Atsuo Ueda.
9 It Is a Sequel to Fairy Tail
It Is Not a Spin-Off
When the news about a new anime series called Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, many people assumed that it would be a spin-off series of the original Fairy Tail, just like the highly popular Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online or the new Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

The answer is no, it is not a spin-off series. Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest is a direct sequel of the original Fairy Tail, taking place right after the end of the main series. Unlike most sequels which usually simply continue the main series, however, like Dragon Ball Super or Boruto, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest will focus solely on the eponymous 100 Years Quest. This means when they finally conquer the quest, the series will presumably end as well.
8 The Definition of the 100 Years Quest
The Most Dangerous Quest in History
In the world of Fairy Tail, there are five different types of quests that can be submitted to a magic guild. These quests are classified by how difficult it is and how dangerous it is. The types are as follows: The Normal Quest, the S-Class Quest, the SS-Class Quest, the 10-Years Quest, and finally the 100-Years Quest.

Although Natsu is undoubtedly the main character of Fairy Tail, he always works together with these four mages, especially when it comes to tackling difficult quests. Erza is usually the sole S-Class mage of the group. After the end of the main series, however, Team Natsu as a whole is pretty much an SS-Class mage team at the very least.

He Failed and Nearly Died
Team Natsu is not the first mage who challenges the 100-year quest. They’re not even the first mage from Fairy Tail who tried to tackle this legendary quest. Lots of powerful mages have tried their luck with this quest and most of them were either died or heavily injured.
The last mage who tried to tackle the 100-year quest was none other than a man who was known as the most powerful mage in Fairy Tail, Gildarts Clive. Unfortunately, Gildarts nearly lost his life during the quest. In fact, he lost his left arm and left leg along with unspecified injuries to some of his organs.

The quest is quite straightforward. Scattered across the continent of Guiltina are the Five Dragon Gods. Each and every single one of them has a strength equal to the Black Dragon Acnologia. The quest is simple. Elefseria wants Team Natsu to seal those five dragons away.

1 A Journey Across the Continent
An Adventure Across the Continent of Guiltina
The Fairy Tail’s guild stands tall at the heart of Magnolia, a metropolis city located within the Kingdom of Fiore. This kingdom is a small part of the continent of Ishagar, which is in the eastern part of the Earth Land. On the western part is the continent of Alakitasia, while on the northern part is the continent of Guiltina.
Most of the story in the main Fairy Tail series happened in or around the continent of Ishgar. This 100-year quest, however, will take place mostly within the continent of Guiltina. From the underwater temple near the coastal city of Ermina to the vast and vibrant city of Drasil that was built on top of a hibernating colossal monster, Fairy Tail: 100-Year Quest will take the viewers on a magnificent journey across the northern continent that we’ve never seen before.
