Welp, Asta gets into trouble with some wild beast right off the bat this episode.

This episode was tense. We got Asta and his squad members dealing with some pretty nasty folks. I will say this though..even as I find Asta annoying, he's quite a brave kid for jumping in there and fighting the good fight.

The guy with the fog magic had some bad intentions...

Studio Clown at it again, ruining good stories with poor adaptations. I gotta say the animation in this episode was just awful and the amount of fillers, GOD. We're at episode 9 and they've barely covered 7 chapters.

Wow you made it seem as tho they put in some stupid shit in that episode that didn’t make any sense . I can see why they put that stuff in because to flesh out everything because the Manga is way too fast paced . It wasn’t even that bad . Episode 3 and 8 was bad in terms of filler but this episode made sense .

It was cool to see some fighting in this episode as things start to get more intense. Noelle should contribute a lot more now that she's found that resolve to protect the villagers. Good timing too, Asta and Magna can't handle this whole thing by themselves.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

I get what you mean but the reason the manga is fast paced in the first place is because its full of cliches and they have to do that so the people don't lose interest. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm rambling about this but I just think they should've done a better job.

I know how you feel because I feel like they could’ve done way better so far with this adaptation . Only adapting 7 chapters in 9 episodes is bad , I know why they’re doing it to flesh out everything and slow down the mangas super fast pace but I do feel they should speed it up a little bit because a lot of people will lose interest fast .

I'm so pissed of right now, the parts that are canon are so enjoyable. While Studio clown is at it again, ruining a decent show with stupid fillers. Ffs they have more than 130+ chapters to adapt, what in the muddy hell are they doing?

Noelle's resolve at the end was cool, I really liked the second half of the episode

someone please shut that loud mouth..

so, that Seyhe oldman is like Emiya Shirou version of Black Clover huh, his magic actually pretty awesome, can summon any type of weapon at his will and control it from distance.

Asta anti-magic are pretty useful in this situation.

Noelle got a new spell, and it looks like a water barrier type. cool

Finally they got into action. Actually, this episode was better than the last episode.. I don't mind the filler/expansion as long as it's good. For me that was a good expansion, because it explained the reason why Magna loved that place so much. Next episode should be the conclusion of the battle.

Finally a "Real" Mission, against "Real" enemy. Still, the target seems too soon for Asta and the other to fight against them. Isn't it? Or maybe something unexpected from one of them is going to emerge?
Yup, next episode it is. xD

I'm finding myself more disappointed about the execution than the pacing.

Many scenes lacked the impact they had in the manga.

The animation up until Noelle's protection spell was so subpar, the number of still frames was real..

At least the preview already gives me hope for better animation next week, so let's wait and see.

All that aside it was a good episode, so as long as the next episode shows me some good animation and execution throughout, all is forgiven.

But goddam, the studio acts like they don't know how to make an anime. Only hope that its doing well in Japan, cause I really like this series. Don't want the anime to drag it down.

Pierrot at it once again, The entire first half was nothing but pointless filler. 9 episodes and only around 7 chapters adapted. We're getting only around 1 chapter per episode, this is almost if not already a Toei level adaptation but at least for the latter we know they're doing it to avoid catching up to the manga. Here it's just a pure waste of time.

2nd half was decent, execution could have been much better.

I understand its a long anime but there has to be a limit. Its damn slow and they show only little bit of action in the last ( 10 sec ) doesn't feel worth waiting a week. Need more episodes per week or more action. the episode was ok if you just start wathing it.

some serious naruto-esque vibes today; they go for a simple mission
black clover- hunt wild boars
naruto- protection detail for bridge builder tazuna against bandits

some how becomes intense
black clover- fight in some magical mist against some "magic knight" level enemies
naruto- fight against zabuza of the hidden mist

i jus' clocked that this anime uses the same studio as naruto.... hmmmm, did that influence anything

The first four to five mins didn't have any new content.... Way to go Pierrot.

They could've not made the previous episode, it was useless.... If they'd kept up the actual pacing from the manga, the fight would be over in an episode but they will drag it on for 3 episodes, now, I quite like the back story they gave Sehye and Magna because that made me hate the White Night Eye guys more but come on, they could've skipped the first 2 mins of recap.

Well, at least they're trying to make even this inconsequential fight seem epic, that's a good point and I have always wanted the manga to address more of the class discrimination in Clover Kingdom and this show does that even though the manga doesn't.

The fights in this episode was poorly animated. It was mostly still frames, which made it boring to watch. Got to see some backstory for Magna. The mayor was helpful to him. Noelle got a new spell.

Fuck face ice boy is annoying as hell tho. Noelle was basically like oh I guess I can help since this little girl asked me. <= that's just bad writing. They didn't articulate it right! But I like her new spell :)

Eh after the episodes that got seemingly better, this episode wasn't really pleasing to see. Honestly I like the details and expansions from the series in this episode, but the action is... underwhelming, at best. Not good, not bad either. It was just... ehh? I kinda enjoyed it but then at the same time I was scratching my head.

Mediocre to decent episode at best, if I can be honest.

Great another half episode of filler that literally adds nothing to the show! What's the point of "characterization" and "backstory" if it's not even actually real and a piece of the actual story. Whatever, the second half of the episode was pretty solid

Not sure why we need a recap when we are only on episode 9... People are also saying the Magna backstory was filler, but I actually think that it was pretty good filler, and it made sense in the context that they were about to see the village being attacked. The animation was definitely sub par for most of the fighting as well.

Starting to dwonfall in pacing come oon Black Clover.

Have you not already dissapointed enougb people already? 7 chapters in 9 episodesis really bad.

Noel powers are pretty neat but the whole "Girl needsmy help..SUDDEN NEW POWER AND SPELL" felt pretty cliche.

7/10 meh

i just hate how the scenes in this anime doesnt give the same impact as in the manga, the animation sucked and the pacing is slow. for someone who reads/watch black clover for the action and the simple, straight to the point and fast pacing story tellling, this anime is ruining the series for me.
im feeling bad for the people who hated the anime and now wont give a chance to the manga because they think is going to be as bad as this.

4 minutes of recap + OP yet again.

This episode wasn't bad. I enjoyed the content quite a bit. The only problem was animation (still shots etc).

Not a manga reader here, but from what I have read from the posts above me, people are raging over the first 10 minutes of "filler." I would much prefer they spent time to explain Magna and the old man's relation than rushed through it. Just because the manga rushed through to draw readers in, doesn't mean that "filler" was trash and useless. Don't take the pacing of the manga as the absolute and perfect.

So Noelle was initially about to abandon everyone, not because she was scared (Which would've been understandable enough if that was the case), but because she's royalty...? Wow, Noelle, you're an egotistical bitch. And her saying a moment later that she has to protect the villagers because, again, she's royalty made no goddamn sense (And not to mention contradicting). There was no need to add the "I'm royalty" part that time. Just...ugh... -_-
