Watch the main series in release order

Fairy Tail is best enjoyed simply in release order. The 2009, 2014 and Final Series runs are one continuous story following Natsu, Lucy, Erza and Wendy as the guild grows.

Where the movies and prequel fit

Phoenix Priestess is a standalone adventure that fits neatly around episode 125. Dragon Cry comes later, after the 2014 run. Fairy Tail Zero tells the guild's origin — you can watch it after the 2014 series or save it as a prequel treat.

Continue with the sequel

Once the Final Series wraps the original story, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest picks up immediately after, sending the team on their most dangerous job yet.
