"Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry" was released in 2017 as an anime film continuation of the popular "Fairy Tail" series. Featuring beloved characters like Natsu Dragneel (voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara) and Lucy Heartfilia (voiced by Aya Hirano), the movie followed their journey to the island Kingdom of Stella to unveil dark secrets and combat powerful new foes. Upon its initial release, the film received mixed reviews; fans appreciated the continuation of the story and vibrant animation, but some criticized its pacing and felt it didn't capture the depth of the original series fully. Over time, however, "Dragon Cry" has come to be appreciated more fondly within the "Fairy Tail" community. Although not universally acclaimed, it is now often regarded as an underrated gem—a satisfying expansion that appeals particularly to dedicated fans for its action sequences and character moments, even if it doesn't reach the heights of the main series. Its status is more as a cherished companion piece than a dated relic or full cult classic.
