Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry

Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry (Japanese: 劇場版 FAIRY TAIL -DRAGON CRY-, Hepburn: Gekijō-ban Fearī Teiru: Doragon Kurai, lit. "Theatrical Feature Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry") is a 2017 Japanese second animated fantasy action film based on the shōnen manga and anime series Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. It is directed by Tatsuma Minamikawa based on a screenplay by Shōji Yonemura, both of whom worked on the anime series, and acts as a sequel to 2012's Fairy Tail the Movie: Phoenix Priestess. Mashima himself also created a storyboard for the film and served as a chief producer.
Set between Fairy Tail's penultimate and final story arcs, Dragon Cry focuses on the members of the titular wizard guild infiltrating the Kingdom of Stella to recover a stolen staff of cataclysmic power. Tetsuya Kakihara, Aya Hirano, Rie Kugimiya, Yuichi Nakamura, Sayaka Ōhara, Satomi Satō, and Yui Horie all reprise their roles from the television series, with Makoto Furukawa, Aoi Yūki, and Jiro Saito co-starring as new characters designed by Mashima and Yūko Yamada. The film was released in Japan on May 6, 2017. It received limited theatrical screenings worldwide, with Funimation releasing the film in North American theaters in both Japanese and localized English-dubbed formats from August 14 through August 19, 2017.
