Since she appeared she rapidly overtook everyone else and now rules supreme and unchallenged as Best Girl in this manga.

Yeah I am just wondering why he is at the White Night Eye base when he should be pretending to be one of the Captains.

Oh right, I assumed he was imitating a real captain. His powers are imitation after all but you could be right. He might change into his Clover Captain alter-ego

Shout-man and Boring-man are the stars of the manga for some incomprehensible reason.

Yami is the best, same with the fire people.

Luck is fun, and the weird masked dude is fun.

The rest have been overshadowed and are no longer relevant.

I assume he is too. But he would have had to ether kill or capture the Captain he took the place of. Or else his cover would have been blown.

At first I didn't see anything wrong with it and thought you were just overstating how bad it was.

Then the middle stretch, yeesh. I wouldn't say that was rough art, so much as an unfinished draft.

I'm guessing this is because of the anime adaptation starting recently. The same sort of thing happened with My Hero Academia a couple months ago, iirc.

Their idea of expanding on the world and characters seems to be either adding flashbacks that don't tell us anything we don't already know or quickly learn and repeat the same 2 jokes over and over because you can't add in new character traits for filler material, OR, putting in all the poo poo that was skipped for the sake of brevity and good pacing. It'd be like going back to film conventions from the 40s and 50s where you had to show the process of moving from room to room or else the audience would think the characters are magically teleporting.

If they go to all the trouble of adding this useless filler and they don't fix the Witch arc by adapting the LN, I think I'll be embarrassed by how shoddy the production is even though I have nothing to do with it.

In this case the art is rough when Liar's illusions are on panel.

It's kinda like "What's the point of setting up big bads to have them effortlessly clowned upon" which would normally be weak from a story point of view but here it's just satisfying really.

Black Clover's Knight Captains so far are on an order higher of usefulness than say, the captains from Bleach. It's almost like...they're captains??

Electric Phantasm posted:

I figured Black Clover would be a really watchable battle shounen as an anime. They totally hosed it up. Pointless filler, crappy animation, glacial pacing. If you try it just watch the dub; the poor new guy they got doing Asta in the Japanese version is awful.

It takes 6 loving episodes to meet the black bulls.

I'm going to assume that all of the Third Eyes are still alive in some form. At the very least, Pana couldn't have been an original Third Eye, she was just possessed by it or something like that. And she's far too young.

And Langis seemed to have some weirdass Third Eye poo poo going on.

I do wish Liar would put up more of a fight. Most of the villains post-Vetto haven't really been too awe-inspiring.

I miss Vetto, that dude was the poo poo.

Zora more or less said he would be. When the guy copies someones magic he is does it better and stronger then the original.

Vetto was fuckin' wild and easily the best fight, overall, so far. Dude was a simple beast, but he was a goddamn monster and it took literally everyone to wear him down, beat him... only for him to come back immediately anyway to finally be put down by Yami. :iia:

Leona dunking on Liar is also rad and cool, but he's obviously going to pull something out pretty quickly to even it out - or even win outright - and that's probably gonna be before he does the third eye thing.

Only due to his extra magic power compared to most people

When hes sealed. They all looked terribly distressed when they had to reseal him.

I think they dont care and just hijack peoples bodies. Pana definitely isnt an original since she grew up in the diamond kingdom magical mengele place.
The way the third eyes and lackeys are talking it seems that the third eyes are already possessed and waiting to fully 'awaken', and the lackeys probably going to be fuel for it.

Licht is def the last survivor of the elves/demon clan and held on to his friends souls to revive them.
