My Anime List describes the anime’s plot like this:
The 100 Years Quest: a mission so challenging and hazardous that it has remained unaccomplished for over a century. While countless mages have attempted to take on this grueling objective, their results ended in either overwhelming defeat or worse.
Nonetheless, Natsu Dragneel and his friends—Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, and Wendy Marvell, along with the exceeds Happy and Charlés—ambitiously embark on the quest.
Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest is based on the manga series of the same name written by Hiro Mashima and illustrated by Atsuo Ueda.
It is a spin-off of the original massively popular Fairy Tail manga by Hiro Mashima.
Toshinori Watanabe (Twilight Out of Focus) is directing the anime, with series composition by Atsuhiro Tomioka (screenwriter of the original Fairy Tail series), and Yurika Sako (Edens Zero) in charge of character designs.
The anime series is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
