THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Jesus Christ, Black Bull has some crazy members. No wonder their guild is infamous.

Good luck to Asta for him to even try and make himself a place there. Pretty much an episode focused on them as Asta is starting to get used to his new lifestyle Ha, I like their captain though. Probably the most badass guy out of them all. Vanessa has a sexy vibe to her character lol

Black Bull apparently has their own way of "initiation".

The atmosphere at the Black Bulls base reminds me of Grand Blue. Yami and Magna are hilarious. Magna just firing baseballs everywhere and missing Luck. Gauche's sister obsession is something refreshing. the whole main cast is fun to watch.

Magna just started to bully Asta, the initiation reminds me of Rock Lee and his hard work routine.

Yami- stop breaking everything. Proceeds to break down a whole wall of the base.


I felt that the animation in this episode was better. The anime can only get better.

Finally! the pace is picking up a bit, I really liked this episode, it gave me lots of nostalgia. The cast seems really quirky compared to where Yuno is.

Fairy Tail rip off time. Almost every character too, happy flying around, drunken cana, elfman obsessed with sister, fat droy, , popular loke. Seems annoying natsu was combined with cool gajeel.

Lets repeat what the narrator told us 3 times.

Hilarious introduction episode, best one so far for sure. Pacing was a lot better this time and was funny how even the Black bulls told him to shut up and stop screaming so loud.

But a fairly enjoyable episode.

I'm surprised that Vanessa is voiced by the great Nana Mizuki. Anyway as expected from anime version of shonen manga every episode pace will be very slow, much faster to read the manga.

Anyway regarding Asta voice actor, really just differ from people to people. Some thinks its annoying, some doesn't mind or care; You think its annoying, doesn't mean everyone have the same opinion. Kinda like that all around.
The problem literally same with Natsu(Fairy Tail) at that time where many people think his voice was loud also with the difference of Asta is wayyy louder, well everyone will get used to it as time past.

I think now we're at the part which makes the manga fun to read.... The extremely hilarious yet unique cast. That initiation sequence's battle looked well animated and since this is going to have 51 eps, if they pace it well, we could reach the part of some serious battles....

I am hoping we get to at least the undersea temple battle arc.

Nice episode.

It was hilarious how every Black Bull member was introduced as a 'Good Guy'. xD
Vanessa and Noelle. <3

Asta vs Magna was pretty well animated and nice to see.
Glad to see Asta getting that robe and officially being accepted as a member of the Black Bulls.

I just hope they reach it this season. A lot of people have been trashing this anime and with good reason too but if they got a taste of the battles that come later then maybe they'll stop. The battles at the Undersea Temple and the witch's Forrest were amazing.... Generic but amazing.

The Black Bulls are introduced and, like someone has said above, it looks like Fairy Tail 2.0 (we have Natsu+Gajeel, Cana, Loke... and Hughes from FMA, this time obsessed with his sister instead). Cannot say they are not likeable, at least they seem funny. Magna especially. It's hilarious how a delinquent who shouts a lot of all people is the one who tells Asta to shut up xD

The Petit Clover segment at the end was pretty hilarious, I have to admit.

Female main character appears again, and her first impression of Asta is... negative, to say the least.

The members of the Black Bulls are very crazy. One of them didn't say anything at all, he was huge. Asta passed his initiation and is officially a member of the Black Bulls. The robe looks nice.

This episode was pretty good except for the narration. It was simple to figure out was going on between Asta's and the captain's inner monologue. Hopefully that'll be just a one off.

Lol Yami, you're not the only one who wants Asta to shut up.....

The Black Bulls are definitely an.....eccentric cast of characters. One thing is for sure, it's probably impossible to be bored around all of them with how crazy they are.

Asta's initiation battle against Magna was pretty good, and the animation didn't look too bad either. Nice to see he has officially become a member of the Black Bulls.

Also, it pains me to hear Ayumu Murase's voice in this show on a character that ISN'T Asta, who I was expecting him to voice. Instead, we're stuck with the guy who sounds like a race car......
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Well, If you said like that, Fairy Tail was actually looked like Straw Hat Pirates wearing mask and doing some magic lol. So, Gauche ≠ Elfman (what's make them look similar??? Did you hear Gauche yelling about "a real man?" lol), Finral ≠ Loke (as you will see in the future, they're really different), Grey ≠ (Fat) Droy (unless you've read the manga, you know nothing about Grey, ok?) I don't even know with whom you compared Happy with =_= Charmy? well, she's just a cute girl who loves to eat. Magna with Natsu & Gajeel? maybe, but not that much.. For me Vanessa and Cana were the only one that are similar. I agree that the Narrator was kind of annoying though...

Well the typical guild crazy guild members and it also seems that that riche bitch girl is in the Black Bulls as well... uggghhhh I sorta do want her to be a elitist tsudere character but I guess that what happening.

The "hazing" process was fun to watch! There probably a ton of other stuff that sword can do as well!
The show has confirmed 51 episodes as well!!!! I'm excited even if it's amazing! I like Asta and Yuno

The members of Black Bull,tho,no wonder this is called generic xD But the episode wasn't bad, Asta had a squad internal test and got accepted by his new comrades. The other new member, Noelle one the other hand doesn't think highly of him(yet).

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

A whole chapter? That's a great improvement. I hope the pacing keeps going at least at this speed.

The episode was good but I feel like the characters a somewhat a tad boring right now, the black bulls each seem to have only one quirk which felt like they were repeated throughout the episode like “oh I like to fight” or “I eat lots” which was a little annoying.

Other than that the fight was good and the episode was paced quite well. Overall I’m willing to give the new characters a chance to develop further and become more interesting in further episodes an look forwards to it happening!

Best Episode yet. Its been a bit of a climb from episode 1, but this is the episode that definately puts the series in the same with other big long-running action-adventure anime. The lovable mellow energy that made the manga a snap to digest is starting to show off in the anime much better than before. I loved Magna in the manga and his and Luck's masterful anime debut really captivated me along with Magna vs Asta and hypes me for the next episodes more than all of the past episodes so far.
