Fingers crossed it's a good story. Glad that Mashima providing a skeleton of the arc and character designs. Was necessary, they are only 60 chapters ahead, the way this team animates, thats between 30-45 episodes, they would have caught up in less than a year and i doubt an anime would live through a second hiatus. Honestly kind of hoping that Mashima is thinking about wrapping up the manga soon so that the whole thing can be animated. But i am probably in the minority there.
