Yeah, I wouldn't say I'm a big fan of the manga, but the adaption so far isn't really selling itself as an improvement.

Stay strong, Asta.

I think Black Clover got a pretty solid OP/ED as far as music goes. OP is weirdly low-budget on the animated parts in places but I liked the book aesthetic- they could've done more with it.

THIS EPISODE ENDS LITERALLY ONE MINUTE IN REAL TIME AFTER THE LAST ONE LMBO THIS SHOW OWNS SO MUCH

THE ONLY THING I LEARNED FROM THAT FLASHBACK IS THAT ASTA HAS BEEN HITTING ON SISTER LILY HIS ENTRIE LIFE. HE DECIDED TO BECOME THE WIZARD KING LITERALLY JUST TO IMPRESS HER. SISTER LILY PROBABLY CHANGED HIS DIAPERS LAMO

I GIVE THIS EPISODE AN aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA out of aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just finished episode 1 so far, haven't read the manga and man I couldn't help but notice that the OP here left out the description which makes this show sound like yet another anime adapted from the never-ending stream of the most generic light novel trash ever despite not being a light novel??? Protag has no magic and is maligned for it, gasp, but SURPRISE he actually does have magic and it's the rarest (and bestest) magic ever!!

Also the screaming was annoying at first, then it clicked that it was just Shonen Screaming but for dialogue instead so it was a good gag... and then it just kept going and going and it became annoying again... and then he was doing one-armed push ups in a cavern and his internal monologue was screaming and it owned again.

Okay, there's episode 2 finished and.. it being mostly flashback was kinda ehhhh. The bit after the generic guy gave up trying to steal the pendant because, uh, reasons was sorta cute though and made me care more about Yuno than Asta, by far, though. I can totally see Asta being literally Shonen Manga Personified wearing really thin before too long but it gets the point across right now, even though the first episode did that as well, and a lot better. :shrug:

Hopefully now that it's gotten past the very beginning and things can happen, it'll pick up steam and get interesting. If nothing else, at least the exposition can't get any clunkier than Episode 1 Generic Villain's "here's what my magic does" speech.

Spawning giant magic-sealing swords out of thin air is still magic. I don't care if it isn't the same magic everyone else is using.

If you need an idea about pacing, the Black Bulls aren't even scheduled to appear until episode 6.

Jesus Christ. In the manga after what happens here in the first two episodes Asta does the Magic Knight test and literally meets the the leader there. How much bullshit are they cramming into this?

Yeah what. I like the series enough to watch. (Don't mind Asta's shoutyness ether.) But I don't get why they would delay the interesting stuff for so long.

they aren't trying to make it run indefinitely like the big name shounen fighting anime, are they? even if that was the case it would still be kinda strange to jump into filler and glacial pacing right away.

it's scheduled for 1 cour afaik, and i have no idea where that person is getting info that the bulls don't show up until ep6

it's ok. never really cared for the core premise (the arranged marriage) but outside of that it's been solid the whole way through

I actually only read the manga because I'd watched some of the anime first and it was abysmal, but saw people really mad about what they did to it

New Episode, they are going blisteringly slow as compared to the manga, I mean goddamn is it slow. I do enjoy the interplay of Asta and Yuno though.

i liked the laidback tone of this episode, compared to ep2 feeling like it was kinda spinning its wheels unnecessarily. this one did still have some weird stuff, like everything before the OP that just seemed like it belonged in different episodes. but we got a cool fight out of it!

Look, Pierrot, just because Jyushimatsu is one of the leads in your most popular anime is no reason to actually let him direct a show.

He is a Matsu. They only exist to gently caress up everything.
