Mashima had asked Фаны in March to wait until he can announce some "good news" since the first Телевидение Аниме adaptation of Fairy Tail ended that month. Mashima added on Twitter at the time, "It's actually not over yet. I can't say еще than this, but I hope Ты watch the rerun starting in April and wait for the день I can announce some good news. […] Аниме is not the end. Don't stop believing." The series concluded with a "To Be Continued" Название card.
Mashima also asked Фаны in English on June 7 to "please wait until Далее week. Ты will be surprised." However, that time he was not teasing good news, but talking about not discussing the spoilers in the following week's chapter.
