it was a helluva fun ride to watch! non-stop action from start to finish, and of course the Black Bulls shined brightly as always. it was great to see the other captains (hey, Dorothy's wide awake now instead of always zonked out lol) in action. Also, Asta has the makings of a future Wizard King; and Yuno can take over Marks' role as his right-hand man once Asta finally takes over ruling the Magic Knights lol

8/10


Got this from another user, but here:

"Here's the lore about Wizard kings that was in the novels but they cut out in the movie, for anyone wondering (courtesy of Nite Baron)"

Conrad: Conrad was born into a noble family but due to his thief-like unlocking magic, he was shunned by those around him, leading to a lonely childhood. As he grew older, he discovered the true value of key magic but as people feared its power, the gap between him and those surrounding him was never bridged.
Conrad joined the magic knights, where he met a young Julius and a caring young woman from the forsaken realm, Lovilia. Conrad learnt to trust these two and as a result, began to open up to those around him. Conrad kept gaining achievements together with his companions and eventually became the magic knights captain of the squad “White Serpent”.
Conrad’s life was going smooth while married to his vice captain Lovilia, one day received a mission for his squad. However, it turned out to be a trap set by the royal faction, who hated him. Devastated at the loss of Lovilia and dozens of members of his squad during this mission, Conrad became consumed with anger. Despite Julius’s desperate attempts to persuade him, Conrad’s darkness deepened.
To eradicate discrimination and prejudice, and build a country where everyone can laugh together- Conrad, now the Wizard King, aimed to achieve his ideals. But he was unable to bring about change, and his despair only deepened. The only way to change this country is to “truly rebuild it”…?! The dangerous thoughts in his mind were not subdued and he immersed himself in researching ancient magic tools. Eventually he stole the natural treasure “Imperial Sword” and started a rebellion. However, he got sealed away by Julius and co. in the midst of his aspirations.

Jester: Jester was born into a noble family and grew up without any hardships and joined the magic knights. There, he met Tenor who came from a remote village near the Diamond Kingdom, and Raid, from the Common Realm. Despite their different social status and background, the three of them strangely got along very well, pushing each other to improve and grow together.
Shortly after Jester is appointed a magic knights captain, Tenor’s village is invaded by the Diamond Kingdom. However, the kingdom cannot make a move to protect a remote village. Jester and co. go off on their own to defeat the enemy nevertheless, but Tenor lost his life in the battle…
Jester, who achieved great success as a captain has finally risen to the rank of Wizard King. One day, Tenor’s home village is invaded again by the enemy. Jester rushes to the rescue, but it turns out to be a trap set by Raid, a spy for the enemy, in order to assassinate Jester.
After losing both Tenor and Raid, Jester, in order to prevent such further tragedies came up with a solution: “Conquest of the Four Kingdoms”. Despite being called “Mad King” due to his ambitions initially, he gradually earned the support of the people. However he fell into the trap of the royal faction who disliked his growing influence, and he lost his life in the process of achieving his goal.

Princia: Princia is born as the eldest child of a fallen noble family. The family hoped to lead a peaceful life and rule their land such way, but greedy nobles took possession of the family's lands. Under their relentless harassment, Princia decided to fight to protect her family and her people.
After receiving her grimoire, Princia was recruited into the “Blue Roses” magic knights squad. Being undefeated, her fame grew day by day and in order to strengthen their influence, the royal faction half-forcibly installed her as the Wizard King.
As the war with the Diamond Kingdom reached its final stages, Princia’s family and people from her land were taken hostage by the enemy. However, the generals, fearing that Princia would leave the front lines, decided not to tell her this. Thus, Princia lost something precious in exchange for victory…
Princia, exploding with anger towards her strategists, got stripped of her title as Wizard King and imprisoned with her magic sealed. The village where she was imprisoned got attacked one day by bandits, whom she decided to fight despite her magic being sealed, sacrificing her life in the process

Edward: Edward was a man with a promising future, but he had no interest in pursuing a career and spent most of his time in church listening to the sermons of priests. When he learns of the harsh conditions faced by those without magic power, he decided to leave his home and become a priest, taking in orphaned children and caring for them.
Ten years later, in the midst of intensifying war with the Diamond Kingdom, a sudden tragedy happened. Edward’s orphanage fell victim to an enemy raid, and the children lost their lives. For the first time in his life, Edward used magic with all his might to destroy the enemy, and decided to join the magic knights to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
Edward, who’s generous and always there for the weak, is well-liked by the people and eventually became the Wizard King. However, royalty and nobility strongly opposed his aim of eliminating the boundaries between the royal, common and forsaken realms. Through their scheming, Edward was stripped of his position as the Wizard King.
Having abandoned his faith in God, Edward formed a resistance to seek revenge against the royals and nobles who plotted against him. He continues to eliminate those in power, believing that it is the only way to save their corrupted heart. However, this was not long-lived and he was eventually captured and executed."

then fuck pierrot they just botched the story for sake of action i would have love to see all of these animated

oh, this is the movie that was reported to have movie-level animation LMAO but yeah undoubtedly had solid animation.
the story was extremely basic, just a bunch of cliches and it failed to make me feel hyped, unlike the show. but i liked seeing all those familiar faces, been a long time since i've consumed any black cover content, so i had forgotten quite a bit of the side characters. i forgot about his sword being called a demon slayer as well lmao, had me surprised when he shouted 'demon slayer!'
vanessa looked hot as always tho and the new character; funny bunny. great choice for her to be voiced by miyuki sawashiro.

overall a 6/10 for, it's just fine. animation is the only thing i find really praiseworthy, everything else is very forgettable.

eh. I enjoyed seeing Yami. I miss Yami.  But the story was basic at best.  I enjoyed Mereleona and poor UberFinril (FinrilTaxi?).  Honestly, it's been so long I had forgotten about the guy int he mask completely and had to refresh my mind of others.  this was like watching a movie made up of episodes of the anime with less storyline.

10/10.
They played Haruka Mirai.

Sakuga, the movie. Pierrot never should’ve made this cause now that we know what they’re capable of, I expect this consistently.

Story wasn’t the greatest, mainly felt like a vehicle to get us back into the world and get the characters back on screen with, but I thought the concept of previous wizard kings coming back was cool. Reminded me of Naruto War Arc. And ultimately who cares, I’m just glad to see my faves back.

Noelle, Mereleona, Yuno and the black bulls as a whole, got a lot of shine which I was happy with. Think they gave themselves enough room for the story to be canon or anime original depending on how Tabata is feeling tbh.

Conrad as a villain was kind of undercooked, but what can you expect out of a 2 hour runtime. Only so much development you can give.

Need the anime back.

there arent any limints to magic powers and ANime is like" it's magic" and that's it, the author just wrote anything he wants to and then gave it a name magic and that's it.

Putting the story aside, this is an excellent anime movie adaptation with the best quality of battle animation that can be made.

Hopefully we will get information about the adaptation of season 2 of the anime soon.

Man, had high hopes for the story of this movie but, it was just fights.
No proper explanation about the intent of the villian behind his actions and what was that explanation that Julius gave to Asta for how he was able to wield that sword that stored every type of magic when he himself possess the power to cancel about other magic. What does he mean by that all the wizard King lent him their power? What that makes no sense, atleast give an explanation.

Even after all this , I still think it's a good movie for the action part and the animation was just great.

Good movie! Enjoyed it. 

Pros:
- Animation was AMAZING
- Music was hype
- Good cast as usual (love me some Nero, Noelle, Yami etc etc)

Cons:
- Plot very predictable
- Follows typical anime filler movie structure (MC & cast lose to new bad guys -> they recover -> MC & cast beat bad guys who die/disappear)
- Asta (no offence if you love him lol, I find him super annoying and boring as an MC - again, no offence)

Solid 7/10 for me, almost an 8 because of those hype action scenes.

Asta really is one ugly SOB shounen protagonist, isn't he? God, he looks ridiculous XD

For a battle shounen film, it was pretty damn good, considering the standard of what I usually watch from similar shows.

In terms of animation and general fighting sequences, honestly some of the best I've seen in anime, incredible to watch.

Standard ridiculously idealistic antagonist, his actions and motivation not really convincing, considering the overall circumstances, both his and everyone else's. Generic, predictable story, but finely executed.

I did think that they showed off the power of a Wizard King extremely well for the most part, pleasantly surprised with the scaling and the fights themselves.

8/10 overall, I think I've only given a higher rating to maybe one Bleach movie and maybe one or two One Piece movies.

I just love this one, the action scenes are great and what i love here is that how powerful their enemies are on this one, as imagine the current magic knights are facing those former wizard king and great knights... and my fave here is asta vs conrad as they are so alike in many ways, and i like Conrads magic skills....

thanks for this movie, i hope the next time that i am to watch a black clover, its already the second season... yeah

ngl, I was expecting some average movie with borin plot and villain, I was expecting "I'm strong and bad, now kneel before me!" type of bad guy but I was pleasantly surprised he really respected Asta (even without him having magic) which is rare in this series and had logical reasons of why he is doing this. All antagonists were fun to watch, most generic was Jester but had "entertaining" facial expressions so for me he also wasn't boring to watch.

Plot was nice, definitely suffers from not being canon and being a movie but like I said overall it was logical conclusion by looking how many noble families and mages act in BC world.

Overall and no spoiler so I will say I really enjoyed this movie and would love to see previous Wizard Kings in manga so they would have chance to truly shine and could be developed more.
From me 8/10

Fun fuck: I was wondering how movie will "one up" Black Bull's headquarter transformations from manga and when I was thinking it would be funny if it started to fly... it's started to fly, I had to pause until I stopped laughing. xD

The only problem I had with the movie was the bad guys motivations but other than that I think the movie's pretty good for what it is a Shonen Movie.


I mean what's wrong with his motivation? Of course killing is bad but considering how many noble, royal families and mages are assholes to their citizens to the point of not having issue to kill them and seeing how even Wizard King can't change it somone would eventually conclude that "big reset" is only option.

They haven't shied away from using Haruka Mirai, and I'm glad that's the case. It fits the theme of the show pretty darn well. 

As for the story in general, I found it to be lackluster but it gave most of the characters some cool moments, so I'll take it. Didn't get to see much of Yami's "breaking the limit" moments here though and none of his interactions with Charlotte, dang it xD. Enjoyed the extra bit of focus on the Vermillion family's eldest though, the two looked like they were having the time of their lives. Sawashiro Miyuki-san's voice was so godly too, fudging loved it! Noelle with some shining moments herself and credits to the other Black Bull members for playing the anchor roles. 

Conrad, when you think about it, is a more or less parallel and somewhat extrapolated version of Asta down the wrong line. Not to mention, there's the obvious, "Not giving is my magic" statement of theirs, to make things crystal clear for us, lol. Having an episode like this ought to keep Asta from going through something like this himself, you'd imagine. But then there's the demon so you never know. 

Got to give it to Studio Pierrot for giving the goods too! Audiovisual experience was quite something with this one! Asta's voice actor giving us some of the more serious lines were spot on, they really elevated the stakes and tension of the battles. All in all, it was kind of like most of the Shounen movies in all fairness, but here's to a Season 2 in the near future!

Solid 7/10 from here.

Well, The movie is finally here; after a long wait.

Should You Watch This Movie: if you are a black clover fan yes; if not, you won't miss too much. The animation has improved but still won't reach the likes of studios Ufotable or Mappa. Over all, 7.5-8/10

!NO SPOILERS! as a manga reader, it was an interesting movie since it patched up some big plot holes and answered questions about main story elements. The animation was improved drastically and the movie's plot was ok 6.5/10. There a lot of foreshadowing for future arcs but a lot of novelty reserved for future arcs will be lost. Either future arcs build upon this movie's foundation or this movie was a canon important filler arc that didn't exist in the manga in the first place.

The amount of action sequences and the animation used by studio peirrot was top notch. The 3D rendering of the arena was also good. large scale attacks were also on point. the final fight with the protagonist was somewhat looking like an Ufotable Like colour scheme but wasn't made accurately.

Over-all, the long awaited movie is now released and it was upto the expectations. loved the efforts put by the animators and the team. would like to watch the coming season for spade kingdom soon.

This movie, while not being exceptional, is a treat for the fans. Yes, there is no plot, and the villains are kinda not fleshed out, but it's supposed to be a action oriented movie and does its job. In fact, if it was in the movie theater, I might have liked it more than JJK 0/
