This special existing is the reason I had to watch Rave Master. For that alone I almost want to give it a bad grade, I really didn't enjoy that show. Rave was like a proto-Fairy Tail with a lot of the same character archetypes and plot points and the same generic fantasy setting. Having the two coexist now in the same universe felt weirdly natural and unnatural yet the same time. I guess if you've just been a long time fan of Mashima and his work you might get a kick out of this, but as established I was not and had to do myhomework just to understand what was going on.

Here's to the inevitable Fairy Tail x Edens Zero special sometime down the road. 7/10
