"FAIRY TAIL 100 Years Quest: New Cast Announced"
A new cast has been announced for the anime "FAIRY TAIL 100 Years Quest," a true sequel and entirely new work following the original "FAIRY TAIL" series, set to broadcast in July on TV Tokyo.
The cast includes the voice of Elefseria, the founder and first master of the ancient wizard guild 'Magia Dragon', voiced by Mugihito; the powerful Water God Dragon, Mercphobia, voiced by Yuichiro Umehara; the mysterious woman Karamil, who acts alongside Mercphobia, voiced by Yoko Hikasa; and the new member of the "Fairy Tail" guild, infatuated with the protagonist Natsu, named Touka, voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro. "FAIRY TAIL" was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Magazine" from 2006 to 2017, depicting the adventures of a colorful guild of wizards called 'Fairy Tail.' The series was adapted into three TV anime series in 2009, 2014, and 2018, with the final episode airing in 2019. "FAIRY TAIL 100 YEARS QUEST" continues from the supposed conclusion of "FAIRY TAIL" at chapter 545, serialized since July 2018 in the manga app "Magapoke" with original story by Hiro Mashima and illustrations by Atsuo Ueda. The story follows Natsu, Lucy, and Happy as they embark on the legendary '100 Years Quest,' a task that no one has yet completed over more than a century since the guild's founding.
Comments from Mugihito (Voice of Elefseria):
"It is a pleasure to voice Elefseria, the first master of the world's oldest guild, 'Magia Dragon.' I am delighted to participate in 'FAIRY TAIL 100 Years Quest' as it begins. This series will be enjoyable for both those familiar and unfamiliar with the 'FAIRY TAIL' series. Please make sure to watch it."
Comments from Yuichiro Umehara (Voice of Mercphobia):
"I am honored to join such a stellar cast. Mercphobia is a character shrouded in mystery, but I am sure you will find him intriguing. Look forward to it."
Comments from Yoko Hikasa (Voice of Karamil):
"I am Yoko Hikasa, and I am playing Karamil. It is very humbling to be a part of the historic FAIRY TAIL series. The director and everyone on the staff and cast have welcomed me warmly. Karamil's character and the detailed directions for each scene make it very enjoyable to perform. I hope you will feel the indescribable relationship she has with Mercphobia, and what it means for them to stand side by side."
Comments from Sayumi Suzushiro (Voice of Touka):
"I am Sayumi Suzushiro, and I am voicing Touka! It is incredibly thrilling to be involved in a series I admired and watched before becoming a voice actor. Touka is a new member of 'Fairy Tail' and is head over heels for Natsu. How she will intertwine in the story... When I first saw the original comic and script, the unexpected developments kept me smiling in many ways! I am committed to bringing high energy to this role, so please look forward to it!"
