Just watched the episode. Never read the manga, but Asta strikes me as the typical hot-blooded shounen hero, so the voice is kinda fitting?

clearing the Fairy Tail bar is not difficult
Like for real: One Piece has been going on for 9 years longer and has never bored me in the way Fairy Tail did (I dropped it at around the same time I did Bleach). Hell, Miki Yoshikawa (Mashima's former assistant) has gone on to do far more entertaining manga (while I'm not the biggest fan of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, Flunk Punk Rumble has a special place in my heart :)). Saying a mainstream comic aimed at the 8 to 13 year-old boys demographic is better than Fairy Tail is like saying that The Simpsons aren't as funny as they used to be before the turn of the century/millennium.

I was hoping that captain Yami would have Kazuya Nakai as his VA (Roronoa Zoro), but having Junichi Suwabe (Aizawa from MHA) is a good second choice.

if you want an idea of where this show is going compared to the manga, watch twin star exorcists
Was that good? I kinda stopped following the manga after Seigen gets benched

Also the author is great and i trust her (i think it's a lady?) to do good stuff.
Yuuki Tabata (Black Clover's author) is a dude.

THAT WASN'T AS BAD AS I EXPECTED

I LOOK FORWARD TO ENJOYING THE ADVENTURES OF SHOUTY-BOY ASTA AND THE BLACK BULLS

gently caress Fairy Tail forever. gently caress it in its stupid, fanservice-overdosed face. It's like they took that one Gintama episode where Tae suggests how to boost Gintama ratings by combining Dragon Ball, Bleach and One Piece in one horrible, ill-advised mish-mash.

Was not expecting a chem reference in an anime sub-forum. Well played.

Please read Dr. Stone, it's one of the best new series to pop up in Jump.

Far out! That looks extremely fun, not too mention :frogc00l: I'll give it a try!

I'm glad that, as of late, Jun'ichi Suwabe seems to get cast as older dudes more and more, because his voice for Yami was basically perfect.

Today's episode covered 6 pages of the manga and then was entirely filler. We are in anime episode 8 and one third through manga chapter 6. That's remarkable in its own way.
Holy poo poo, that sounds legit bad. Didn't the manga become a hit due to the fact that it's fairly fast-paced?

One of my coworkers has been watching and kept saying Asta is like having Franky from One Piece as the MC (voice wise).

Now I can't help but compare the two.
From what I've read and I can remember (and I might be misremembering) Franky was created to satisfy two or three criteria:
  1. Oda wanted a character based on Jim Carrey's portrayal of Ace Ventura
  2. Oda liked Kazuki Yao's portrayal of Mr. 2 Bon Clay so much that he wanted to create a Straw Hat character just for him.
  3. Oda wanted a robot/cyborg because BOYS LIKE ROBOTS :hellyeah:

So, apparently the VA for Asta has been making strides to get better?

what about every single other aspect of the anime
Dunno. I just got a message from my daughter saying "Black Clover is watchable! Sorta!", so I assumed. From the snarky posts you guys put on display I feel as though maybe I can ignore my daughter's opinion wrt this anime and just assume that her previous love for SAO has been supplanted by this.
