And to nobody’s surprise, it’s the most hated series of modern Shounen-2014 and onwards, right after the era of the big three. This series received hate, backlash, and terrible reception since the onset of its TV anime. I’ve read and re-read its source material and, I can say it does improve-for a Black Clover standard, that is. I’ve been following the series since its inception. Thus, I don’t have any hate or resentment directed towards this controversial series. It’s a lackluster written series that exists purely for entertainment for people like me-who self indulges in battle shounen without a second thought-even if it’s the same type of blueprint that I’ve seen before, but with its own modifications. It doesn’t reinvent the Shounen wheel or elevates it. It lacks anything substantial or impactful. It’s the trashiest to mid-tier Shounen series out there that manages to gravitate to a certain group of viewers with its cliches, tropes, and generic power fantasy. Black Clover gets 10 grimoires out of 10.īlack Clover is not for everyone, I’ll admit. Loveable characters, an immersive world and amazing action sequences make Black Clover one of the only ongoing shonen that I enjoy. Yes, it has some inconsistent animation at times, but the story is genuinely the best in shonen. If you’re on the fence about watching Black Clover, do it. The long running anime model is dead, and doesn’t give animation staffs the time they need to make high quality episodes. Fortunately, the series is going on hiatus due to how close its getting to the manga, and I really hope Pierrot use this opportunity to make it a seasonal show after the movie. At points, Pierrot have literally had to beg on Twitter for people to help out with episodes. What has unfortunately been the big bump in the road for BC is the inconsistent production quality throughout. I’ve said numerous times that if Black Clover went seasonal, it would be one of the highest rated Jump Series. For the life of me, I couldn’t understand why so many people shit on the series or rated it lowly. I found myself in awe at the quality of writing and the magical concepts used. Episodes went by in what felt like a breeze. When I first got into Black Clover a couple of years ago, I was easily able to binge the first 99 episodes which were out up to that point in the span of a few days. There’s been no bigger underdog than Black Clover.įor me, the mark of a well written series is how well you’re able to immerse yourself and truly feel apart of the story. Everyone loves a feel good underdog story. It’s done so well in fact, that it feels like we’ve been on this journey right with Asta. is extremely satisfying and well written. Production qualities seemingly increased as the popularity increased as well. During that internal journey, we also watched the anime gradually evolve and get better as time went on. Asta goes from being the laughingstock of town to the literal saviour of the kingdom. Yet, the fans have stuck by it for years and as Black Clover’s story continues to surpass its limits, their loyalty is finally paying off.īlack Clover is a show that is in many ways the literal embodiment of its protagonist’s struggle. No long running show and fanbase has got as much disrespect as Black Clover(ok, Boruto probably has got more). A few days later, the two friends head out into the world, both seeking the same goal-to become the Wizard King! Unleashing his inner emotions in a rage, Asta receives a five-leaf clover Grimoire, a "Black Clover" giving him enough power to defeat Lebuty. Though without hope and on the brink of defeat, he finds the strength to continue when he hears Yuno's voice. Asta tries to fight Lebuty, but he is outmatched. However, soon after, Yuno is attacked by a person named Lebuty, whose main purpose is to obtain Yuno's Grimoire. When they reach the age of 15, Yuno is bestowed a spectacular Grimoire with a four-leaf clover, while Asta receives nothing. While Yuno is able to wield magic with amazing power and control, Asta cannot use magic at all and desperately tries to awaken his powers by training physically. However, as they grew up, the stark difference between them became evident. Raised together as children, they came to know of the "Wizard King"-a title given to the strongest mage in the kingdom-and promised that they would compete against each other for the position of the next Wizard King. Asta and Yuno were abandoned at the same church on the same day.
