[Totsuka No Tsurugi]

It was previously announced that the "Fairy Tail" anime would be restarting, however, it was unknown when it would begin airing again. A scan from the upcoming sixth issue of Weekly Shonen Magazine will announce that the anime will be restarting April 2014.

The scan also has an excerpt from the director of the series, Shinki Ishihira. In it he states that the staff of the anime has changed and that they are working to improve the quality of the anime. The scan shows the cast for the main characters, which all remain the same, and a few members of the new staff. The staff include:

Director: Shinki Ishihira
Series Composition: Masashi Sogo
Character Design: Shinji Takeuchi
Studio: A-1 Pictures, Bridge

In this week's chapter there's a color page with anime announcement stuff on it. I asked vox to give us a short summary of what's on it to share with all of you, so here you go:

Hello everyone! Voxanimus, your FT translator here. This week's chapter had a rather exciting announcement for those of you saddened by the fact that the FT anime got the D.Gray Man treatment. It seems that the weekly anime is starting up again this coming April! The main cast's seiyuu are all reprising their roles, and the original director, Shinji Ishihara, is also returning. The preview announcement includes a few shots of the updated character models the series will be using, which you can view here.

As of right now, they are keeping further details under wraps, but the announcement does heavily allude to the fact that the series may not begin exactly where it left off, i.e., in the middle of the Grand Magic Games. They do say that they will continue to provide more and more information in subsequent weeks, which we will of course provide you with as it becomes available. I'm pretty excited about this announcement, to be honest; it's not everyday that an anime that has been effectively canceled for over a year starts up again. What are your thoughts? Leave a comment!
