The ninth and final season of the Fairy Tail anime series was directed by Shinji Ishihara and produced by A-1 Pictures, CloverWorks, and Bridge.[3][4] Like the rest of the series, it follows the adventures of Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia of the fictional guild Fairy Tail. This season contains two story arcs: the first seven episodes continue the "Avatar" arc (アヴァタール編, Avatāru-hen), which adapts material from the final chapter of the 49th volume to the second-to-last chapter of the 51st volume of the Fairy Tail manga by Hiro Mashima, depicting Natsu, Lucy, and Happy's journey to reorganize their disbanded guild; the remaining 44 episodes form the "Alvarez" arc (アルバレス編, Arubaresu-hen), which adapts material from the last chapter of the 51st volume to the manga's conclusion, depicting the guild's war with the militaristic Alvarez Empire, and Natsu's final battle with his adversaries Zeref and Acnologia.
On July 20, 2017, Hiro Mashima announced on Twitter that a third and "final" series of Fairy Tail would air in 2018.[5] The final season premiered on October 7, 2018 on TV Tokyo,[6][7] and is simultaneously released by Funimation with a broadcast dub in North America.[8]
The anime contains eight pieces of theme music: four opening themes and four ending themes. For episodes 278 to 290, the first opening theme is "Power of the Dream", performed by lol, and the ending theme is "Endless Harmony", performed by Beverly.[9] For episodes 291 to 303, the second opening and ending themes are "Down by Law" by The Rampage from Exile Tribe and "Pierce" by EMPiRE, respectively.[10] For episodes 304 to 315, the third opening and ending themes are "No-Limit" by Ōsaka ☆ Shunkashūtō and "Boku to Kimi no Lullaby" by Miyuna.[11] The fourth opening and ending themes, used for the remainder of the season, are "More Than Like" by BiSH and "Exceed" by Miyuu.[12] "Snow Fairy", performed by Funkist, is used in episode 328 as an insert song.
