I left the first episode thinking its not good but its gotten me curios enough to stick around to see where this goes.

This episode made me think that I'm going to like this series. Quite the impressive turn around.

Asta's voice was less annoying, they delivered exposition that also sounded like some Foreshadowing.
I didn't get all the answers I wanted but I got just enough that I can make my own theories about the how this world works and its history.

I really loved the relationship between the two mains felt well worth the price of admission.

The opening and Ending are good on their own. But I do have a minor nitpick after watching the 2nd episode in that the Op feels misrepresented. If I were going to watch this just based on the Opening I would have no idea how developed the relationship between these two really is.
The symbolism is nothing new but it works out fine, but you have to watch the ED too really understand what these two characters are really about.

This show feels like its simply in love with its genre. I'm curios to see where it goes with its tropes.

less screams but there's so much wrong with the episode. Maybe it's the source instead of pierrot's fault but...

2 episodes in. I think I like it. I'm watching the dub by the way and the voice is tolerable, but still lots of shouting.

I also feel like black clover is like the mix of everything -

Naruto - Naruto and Sasuke's rivalry, wanting to become the Hokage/Wizard Something
Blue Exorcist - Some magic, demons, sibling rivalry
My Hero Academia - Quirks / Magic Power

Kid Asta's voice is just as obnoxious as the original one...I wonder if it was on purpose, curse you Pierrot!!

I dragged myself through this episode and I'm definitely dropping the series now. This episode irritated me because: Asta's child voice is almost as annoying as his normal voice, the "villain" that attacked the kids was so forced and unnatural acting, the extremely cliche "never give up motive, the stretched out segment of their life as kids, Asta's obnoxious headache inducing behavior, and the nearly 3 minute recap at the start.

3 and a half mins of recap.
This was 10 years ago? How old is Lily?
The Wizard King is the most important after the King? If anything, they should at least be equals.
Lily side oppai.
December 12? LMAO I'm watching this on December 12.
Rape face.
This dude stealing from kids and fighting them. smh
Dat pound.

My goodness. Young Asta's voice was so annoying that I had to lower my damn volume. Anyway, OP and ED sound okay. As for the visuals...terrible.

The OP is actually hype! And the ED is great too.

So this ep is one to show Asta's and Yuno's backstory and how their rivalry came to be, it's quite generic but it's alright though. I'm still interested in what has to come next in the story.

The animation for the fight was quite cool, since this is a long series, I hope the animation quality is constantly good.

You've decided this after 2 episodes? Lol. Not here to change your mind though.

My only other question would be, "Do you like Deku?" Because I don't. At all. *shrug*

Opening was okay and the flashback was meh and went for way too long.

"My magic is never giving up" is so cringey tbh. At least the animation looked cool enough.

Got to see Asta and Yuno's childhood a little bit. Looks like both are planning to become the Wizard King. We'll see how that would go. Loving it so far. Both OP and ED are amazing as well.

🇭🇰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Normally I give some anime series high score rating, but this series is not good and uninteresting since it's one of the worst episodes and terrible premise I've seen such! Now I disliked it so much but I hope it will get better and currently it's 7.87 MAL score rating while it will finished 170th episodes/the final episodes. It's so long episodes and Asta journey will start.

🇩🇪Normalerweise gebe ich einigen anime-serien eine hohe Punktzahl, aber diese serie ist nicht gut und uninteressant, da sie eine der schlimmsten folgen und schrecklichen Prämissen ist, die ich je gesehen habe! Jetzt mochte ich es nicht so sehr, aber ich hoffe, es wird besser und derzeit ist es eine bewertung von 7.87 MAL, während es die 170. Folge/die letzten folgen beendet. Es sind so lange episoden und die Asta-reise wird beginnen.

So this is where Asta's potential is finally coming through the OP song is somewhat catchy not gonna lie

Flashbacks when they were just kids and what happened in the past, Yuno was fragile and a crybaby back then, and Asta well you know is still a troublemaker but he just doesn't give up on it, So they were close when they were kids Yuno was just treating Asta like a rival to this day, And damn with that single blow he was able to take him out like that

Glad to see them in each of their wills and inspirations intact and be the best Wizard King win, The ED was introduced as well kind of a calm vibe.

They already showed us the main part of flashback in ep 1. I don't know why they would drag it out in ep2 itself. And just for that they used the word rivals I expected a bit more actually. It was not bad but not great either.

I feel bad for sister Lily having to reject Astra's proposals through all these years. Flashback felt bit too dragging but the friendship was wholesome to see and the short action scene afterwards was cool.

Oh!! I didn't know that sister lily was way older than asta & yuno. Asta finally got his grimoire book, and both of them defeated the chain user. Excited for selection and cant wait to see black bulls:)

Not exactly going to appreciate having two minute long recaps at the start of each episode, but as long as they are the same length every time, I could probably find a timestamp in which to skip too. If the recaps are of varying lengths, well, first world problem but, that's gonna be a pain.

Looks like we're going to have the relationship between Asta and his brother Yuna be at the core of this story, driving everything else forward. Any good story needs a strong core, and it looks like this has exactly that.

Maybe it's because I braced myself for what could've been nothing more than pain, but this isn't so bad, I'm actually still enjoying this quite a bit. Seems a lot of people are giving it a lot of flack, both those who watched this when it aired and even people right now. Maybe they just have their expectations through the roof for some reason. It definitely is some generic shonen as of right now, but it's doing quite a good job imo of what it has set out to be. Maybe I really shouldn't be talking until I've watched more episodes and have truly gotten a feel for this show, but right now it still looks very promising.

Or maybe it's because I've already gotten over Asta's yelling. I think once people get past that, what they get is something rather solid. Now onto the next episode, which apparently is filler, as labelled by MAL. No biggy, I'll be watching all the filler anyway.

The opening was good

Bruh two kids were screaming and yelling and nobody came out to check what all that commotion was?

Well, I guess Asta defeated that guy. Won't he be reported to the authorities or smth?

ED was amazing!

Asta and Yuno have that type of brotherhood I like, even though they're not related by blood, they feel like brothers. I also like how they treat each other like rivals.

I really liked how the flashback of asta and Yuno showcased how close they actually are and that even though asta doesn’t have magic he is still very strong through his own hard work and so far I am really loving this them in the show so far.

I knew they just show the backstory of Asta and Yuno. They were so cute when they were kids and when Yuno's in danger from a random drunk guy who is stealing his pendant, Asta saves him. So I guess he just saved him two times in the past and in the present day. Btw this is child abuse for the drunk guy beating up Asta cuz he's a kid. COULD SOMEONE CALL THE COPS OR SOMETHING?!?!

This is such a cute touching moment when they want to become wizards kings, but they needed to know who can be the one and they made their promise to each other.

Asta's screaming is even more annoying than last episode. It did well with explaining the dynamic between him and Yuno. Made them both more interesting than the first episode did.

OP song is something the Black Clover franchise will remember for a long time in the future to come. Nice second episode, Asta is really a, "I will never give up" character.
"All things, be they divine or mortal, find their ultimate end. 
                      It is not a harsh punishment, but a merciful pardon."
