He unnecessarily makes every word longer with this annoying raven/parrot-like sensation and its irritating. First male voice actor I have issues with.


Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes!

I am not sure if it's the VA's problem or what he's been told to do. His voice is not that bad when he talks normally, but like I said in the episode discussion when he yells (which is the case 90% of the time) he sounds like a dying parrot

also every time he shouts he drags on the last word in the same repetitive fashion

Not sure how your ears don't bleed every time he shouts and screams like an idiot.

I suppose watching Black Clover would be a little more tolerable if you watch it with the volume muted.

Just 30 seconds of this video made me cringe. I knew this was going to be a poor performance ever since I saw it's the first role of this seiyuu. And this is actually the main reason why I'm not going to give this show a try (unless it miraculously ends up in MAL's top 500 but that's unlikely). Bad voice acting kills enjoyment.

If the character is supposed to sound obnoxious, then it's pretty great, that's for sure. This guy makes Natsuki Hanae sound like Junichi Suwabe by comparisson.
Anyway, I looked at the page of the voice actor and the quantity of hate there almost gave me a laugh.

The anime community is always so short-sighted. I'd be angry at whoever supervised the dubbing process and cast this dude and told him to play the role like that. The VA is just doing his job, and it wouldn't be in the episode if someone higher up didn't gave their OK or even demanded that kind of acting.

But yeah it does sound annoying.
I probably regret this post by now.

I like some of those angry kids, but Asta is on a "NOW, SHUT UP, KID"-level. Especially with that voice. Not against the actor, just... I can't stand it, tho it's good, when he spoke normal. Which wasn't so often, unfortunately lol No really, it wasn't bad, when he spoke normal.

Just because it works for Natsu's (FT) VA, it doesn't mean screaming will work for everyone. The first episode was insufferable, because his voice is already annoying and he screams 90% of the time, on top of that he also prolongs his screams unnecessarily. Obviously, the VA isn't the only one to blame, but knowing that the staff approved of this episode before it aired takes away all my motivation to watch this. If the manga is good I might read it, because it is silent.

Is the Voice actor from the TV series (Kajiwara, Gakuto) better or worse compared with the OVA Voice actor (Horie, Shun) ?

I found that with a really brief search (I only made a curious peek of the OVA, and have not read the manga) that the main problem is that the character sounds naturally like a noisy brat: screaming a lot, prolonging words, etc.
So maybe the problem is more akin to a failure in the adaption or voice directing of the character.

Isn't that how he's just been told to voice the character? Yeah, it's annoying, but that character is annoying and obnoxious, so you know. I'm hoping his voice will 'mature' as the season progresses.

It's the same deal with Sakurada Reset and their terrible acting, the voice actors can be great but when people complain about them they are also inherently complaining about the sound director, director, etc, since those are the people who picked and directed the actors in the first place, if the actors just plain sucked then they shouldn't have been picked, so the directors are at fault for actors that are plain bad too. And obviously there's also the fact that the voice actor signed up for this and knew this would be attached to their name, doesn't entirely mean you can fault them that much but if you voice characters where you'll end up being known as "the dude that voiced that super annoying character", I mean, that's a risk you chose to take. To take it further, you could blame the author for writing the character like this and them/the staff wanting the anime to be faithful.
I know most people probably don't think about that but that's more from lack of knowledge.

Yup the problem is not his voice, it's the non-stop yelling... Maybe it was done for comedy sake but I don't know since I didn't laugh a single time.
In the end he sounded pretty cool though, then again he wasn't yelling.
Well maybe a guy gets used to it, it's only 13 eps or so, it's tolerable I think.

Coming from a person that likes Bakugou from Boku no Hero Academia, I don't personally mind his voice. I will not lie though that he does yell more often than Bakugou, even more than other hothead protagonists.
Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts.

I don't actually see any problems with the voice acting in Sakurada tho? I gathered people were just generally complaining that two of the MCs were the kind of character who don't really get very emotional and who generally talk calmly no matter what the topic is. Which to me is more of a personality issue than a voice acting issue. There's a lot of things I think were done poorly in the Sakurada adaption, but that particular complaint never really resonated with me.
I probably regret this post by now.

The character's personality is overdone to the point of annoyance; it's not as if we've never seen characters like this, but paired with an eardrum piercing voice is just a double whammy. I can't see why anyone would like him it unless they're a die-hard shounen fan.

This is actually a very clear case where the voice actor isn't bad but the voice direction was god awful. Watch enough anime and you'll start to pick up on the difference between a bad voice and a good voice that was told to be bad. The guy clearly has the ability to do a decent enough voice, but whoever told him to perform like that needs to rethink how to do loud, boisterous characters, especially if that was his own decision.

With this said I don't think I can continue watching past the first few minutes. Even though the reason for the hate is misguided it doesn't change the fact that it is obnoxious to listen to. It's disappointing since I was looking forward to another power trip series. It's probably too late to do anything about the voice acting for the next two or three episodes, but hopefully they get enough feedback and alter the approach of his voice in the latter episodes.

I'll come back to this one later.

If you people are THAT bothered by his voice then just watch the dub when it comes out. God jesus the amount of whining I've heard all day about it gives me more of a headache then the screaming from the VA. The guys just doing his job and for what it is it fits with Asta's character and personality so I didn't mind it much, plus he doesn't scream as much after the first chapter so all you can finally shut up as the VA actually sounds decent when talking normally.

i read the manga but i had no expectations for Astas voice, all i wanted it to be was decent and yea this one isnt. It is really annoying. I just hate the way he drags his words too long when hes yelling (and hes constantly yelling) and you can kinda hear this gargling in his voice with it too. His voice seems okay when not yelling so it really seems like a poor production choice to make it like that. It really kept taking me out of it while watching. Hopefully they start to fix it later on cause so far this debut episode has been pretty good. The animation especially looks really nice and everything else ive seen compared to the manga has been good. Its only that one voice that kinda messes with things and it sucks that its the main characters voice too.

How come you can't hear that saliva of his gurgling when he screams like what the fuck? There are screaming that is really funny, but this one's disgusting, annoying, and unbearable. I mean listen to Yato screaming a lot -- that's bearable and you're actually asking for more of him screaming. Goddamnit.

P.S. Listen to Choromatsu screaming then compare Asta's screaming to Choromatsu. Lmfao.



And here's one for Yato screaming.
