![]() ![]() The music can be fun, but it’s largely unexceptional, especially in comparison to Fairy Tail which I think everyone agrees had a consistently fantastic soundtrack. Everything about it feels deeply uninspired, even when the animation is nice. Edens Zero, on the other hand, looks dead inside. This may be hard for you to appreciate in 2021, especially now that other shounen anime have spend years copying and exhausting their style, but the look and feel of both Rave and Fairy Tail fit their era perfectly, their art styles were memorable, and their colors had sprit. While Rave and Fairy Tail had pretty bad animation and subpar directors who never did anything visually interesting with them, Deen and A1 did an okay job with their presentation. The visual aesthetic almost ruins it, though, because the artwork is just so unbelievably bland. You wouldn’t think so with JC Staff, but this show had a fairly solid production, and their most impressive core staff like Kenichiro Aoki really got to go crazy throughout the whole series. The animation isn’t bad, multiple fights honestly look great, and the backgrounds are fine too. I’m not about to oversell this, but I expected absolute garbage, and that’s not what I got. ![]() First of all, the animation is surprisingly alright. So, is Edens Zero good, yes or no? No, of course not, but it does have redeeming qualities. It’s the most basic-bitch, bare-bones, clichéd, hackneyed, battle shounen drivel that there has ever been, including Rave, by the way, which people have been accusing of ripping-off One Piece since before many of you were born. I'm sorry, but the main guy, Shiki, is a copy of Natsu? The big titty waifu, Rebecca, is a copy of Lucy? Then what about Natsu being a copy of Haru, or Lucy being a copy of Elie? I’m not defending Mashima’s shameless lack of creativity-far from it-but if people are out here acting like one of his cookie-cutter stories is better or more sacred than another because they have nostalgic bias toward one and not the other, then I’m here to remind everyone ALL OF IT is trash. FT was the series we first worked on, so we felt like we owed it a shot, but… Maybe next time should try creating original characters, not verbatim copies. “In case you’re wondering - we decided to drop Edens Zero. Are you seeing my point yet?Ī month after the manga began, the scanslation site, MangaStream, dropped Edens Zero, stating via Twitter: This fucking guy rode through not two, but THREE of Mashima’s manga series. The carrot-nosed Pillsbury Doughboy, Plue, was not only reused from Fairy Tail in Edens Zero, but was also a reused entity in Fairy Tail back from when he was a mascot character in Rave. When Edens Zero first began in 2018, and I first saw people whining and bitching about the blue cat, Happy, being reused from Fairy Tail, I just laughed maniacally. Does this sound familiar? Well, it did to the audience, because unlike Literally Who Gives a Shit, Fairy Tail was actually successful, and having learned his lesson, Mashima followed it up with Edens Zero: a generic, hot-blooded shounen action series about a guy with spiky hair and a blonde bimbo with big tits who go on a magical adventure to fight evil with the power of friendship. Fairy Tail is a generic, hot-blooded shounen action series about a guy with spiky hair and a blonde bimbo with big tits who go on a magical adventure to fight evil with the power of friendship. But Mashima didn’t give up, and in a matter of months, he came out with Fairly Tail. as this manga was not successful by any metric, it only ran for about a year. Rave was a massive, long-running success, and after it concluded, Mashima quickly launched a new series called Literally Who Gives a Shit, but seeing Rave is a generic, hot-blooded shounen action series about a guy with spiky hair and a blonde bimbo with big tits who go on a magical adventure to fight evil with the power of friendship. This man has only ever told one story, but that story isn’t called Fairy Tail, it’s called Rave. Anyone criticizing this show for being a Fairy Tail rip-off is totally missing the point.ĪLL of Hiro Mashima’s manga are a rip-off of the one which came before. ![]()
