So Noelle is still going to be the tsundere of the group. I don't mind it tbh. Magna's ride looks nice. I didn't expect the boars to look like that. We might see our first villainous group for the first time. And I'm already intrigued, since they use ice. Wonder how Magna, Noelle and Asta will react to them

Noelle got her tsun back. I'm really starting to think that Mr. Slave is the best character (although sexy onee-san is up there).
That might be the worst dealer I've seen, sooo slow.
Asta and Noelle got their first beginner quest.
Dude coulda teleported them to the nearest city or node.
Crazy cyclone is strangely phallic. Not sure why it has balls.
Why do magic goons always wear hooded robes?
Not a lot happened this episode. But, looks like an arc is starting and we'll be getting a battle next episode.

Holy inconsistencies, batman. They reverted her character completely from last episode showing no growth whatsoever, last episode just useless filler now. How did she even get to base if she can't use a broom they had to break asta because he can't fly. she had to get there on her own. They at least implied that, if didn't completely spell it out.

It was a good episode. They could've done a much better job though. For instance, they could remove the annoying demon-wizard king intro and give the actual episode more screen time.


I 100% agree on this, the intro is so annoying for the first 2 episodes I get but now its getting quite silly

Man, Noelle still think of her Royalty, but if I'm not mistaken she was pretty much the lowest person on the totem pole of her royalty.

Thinking of dropping it, the adaptation was just okay before and this episode was just a big drag/filler. Still 40+ episodes left and i assume there would be more of those same unnecessary episodes. I guess i'll stick for a couple of episodes or mb till the end of the season.

The first thing that the knights do is cleaning then. Looks like the hardest task has to be waking up Yami though. Noelle really is a sheltered young lady huh. The reasons that their squad mates have for being magic knights sure is pretty varied. And just as varied are their specialties as well. So Magma and Yami's mission was gambling then. So the punishment from that game was to listen to his request which created this mission then. Hmm so Noelle can't use broomsticks either then. Considering her problems i guess its to be expected. Magma's broom sure looks stylish in addition to having an impressive name. Looks like this mission will be anything but routine though with the cultists and the flaming boars. An interesting episode though a slow paced one. Looks like their first mission will be interesting though.

I don't understand why Pierrot feel the need to unnecessarily drag out the adaptation when they have so much source material to work with.

Spending an entire episode on half a chapter seems totally wasted, I understand that they wanted to expand the initial chapters since they were very fast paced as an introduction to the series but there's no reason to do the expansion now that the introduction is done with. Plus the expansions they're doing are totally a waste of time and feel like complete filler material. Expanding on the fights or the more interesting material and even slipping in some extra comedy is generally not a bad idea. However when your padding dominates over the actual source material like what's happening here, that's not good.
To take examples from this very episode, the comedy on Crazy Cyclone was a good addition, but dragging out the poker scene and it's aftermath was not.

One of the good parts about the manga is that it's always moving forward at a brisk pace, to slow down a series that was meant to be fast paced in nature seems very counter intuitive.


Easy answer for all your concerns: Money.

You see, Pierrot REALLY wants to milk this series as much as they did with Naruto. However, I bet they don't want a repeat of the same catastrophe that was Naruto's filler hell. So instead of cooking up another filler storm, they decided to stretch the hell of the canon by adding as much extra detail as they can.

It's all about making bank, baby.
unfortunately, while Naruto had filler hell you can rewatch it and skip all the bad parts. Not to mention the occasional amazing filler one shots like mecha Naruto.

This? This just makes the show kind of suck. I hope the "wait for fate" thing is true.

So, they're naked and still want to bet...WAIT! DON'T DO THIS...oh, they'll just bet the Grimoire...

I thought they were going to cut the summary down at the beginning, but they were just saving time for the filler. They showed the gamble part which isn't in the manga, so, overall the episode was funny. I hope the fight will be good next episode.

I caught up on this anime in like the past two days, and I just want to say that I've been enjoying ti a lot. I know that it has its flaws, but they are also exaggerated.
That being said, things I think could use improvement..
- more variety in the voice acting
- diversity in what the characters say, I know that right now we haven't been properly introduced to them yet, but they could still say the same things in different ways. The side character with the most variety right now is the clown character, he always reacts to what others say in his own signature way, but doesn't repeat himself.
- Making sure the show in general doesn't seem on loop, also because of repetitiveness, when the same actions are done it all becomes the same.
On another note, I really liked the magic entrance exam of a couple episodes ago

why did this guy get a nose bleed while talking about his sister, if this means what I think nosebleed in anime means, I'm really creeped out. This has happened before, where he got a nosebleed from a picture of his little sister, this is so creepy. I assumed his sister thing was he just really cared about her.

Seems like she also going to be a hardcore tsudere :/
But I do have to agree that "broomstick" is LAME

Yami seems to have a gambling problem
Fun episode.... I don't think they're will be any focus on Yuno for a while...
But I find Asta more interesting than Yuno so


I couldn't agree more.

Tbh Iike when Asta is shouting, it gives you the idea like "I know life sucks and everything, but hey let's end it with screaming loudly"

I may be completely wrong, but I wonder if this is how the Black Bulls get a lot of their missions…by losing poker games and have the winners get free favors from them.

Just a normal day for Asta like nothings changed for him

The captain and Magna seems to have a completely serious "mission", Which leads to gambling lol weird mission they have there that part was actually kind of funny

Asta still warming up to the squad meanwhile Noelle still treats her members with the least respect just because she's royalty like that means anything in that squad.

This is the most shonen shonen to have ever shonen'ed the world of shonen- and I'm totally fine with it. For a simpleton like me, this is all I need to be happy from anime, and each episode passes by like a flash.

I think I understand the several low votes for these early episodes: most of them probably come from those who watched this while it was airing. There's still of course quite a handful of people who watch this now just to hate on it, but I believe for the most part that the dislikes come from those who watched this as it aired back in 2017. Because if I think about it, I too probably wouldn't have seen the appeal as it aired weekly. This is something truly to binge watch. Waiting a whole week in between each of these episodes (for me at least) would have killed the hype. For something like this, I have to watch one episode after the other for a continuous stream to have the full effect. Why? Because honestly at the moment it's just another shonen, an enjoyable one at that for me, but at the same time currently lacking any real substance. To go one week in between each of these episodes that are low on substance probably couldn't sustain me for long. But having them all available now, and I can consume them all quickly and all the little things each episode does adds up to become a proper meal to leave me satisfied. Not that I expect anyone to understand what I just said, but I just thought I'd lay out my thoughts here for now. Anyways, onto the next episode. Honestly if these early episodes which I am enjoying are the ones that are considered bad, man. I think I'm going to end up really loving this sh*t.

edit: And to any complaints of how slow it seems, bruh, when you consider the fact that it is very much the epitome of a shonen, this thing is moving blazing fast imo. We took an exam for 20+ episodes in HxH before truly getting down to business (loved the exam arc btw lol, don't get me wrong). Asta gets into the Magic Knights in but 6 episodes from the start. I was expecting it to take way longer. If Black Clover were 12 or 24 episodes, then yes this sh*t be dragging on. But it's not. It's 170 episodes bro
