Welp, this arc is finally ending with the collapse of the dungeon.

Asta and everyone else made it out alive and I guess he earned some respect from the others including Klaus. Tbh though, Luck felt like the breakout character from this arc as he stood out a lot more at times from his squad.

Lol, Klaus' hug.

it was a good ending to the dungeon thingy. I really like Yuno's new.. familiar(?) or is it just a new magic?

Another terrible episode of a terrible show. Post-2000s Shonen Jump stuff is just so awful and this show epitomizes a lot of what makes it so bad.

The quality in animation has really taken a huge hit towards the end of this arc, which is really disappointing to see. To begin with the flashy animation and interesting world were what kept me watching through the really crappy characters and dialogue...

I can't help but wonder if Studio Pierrot bit off more than they can chew (I mean they're not even bothering to do Petite Clover properly anymore).

I may end up dropping this one if it doesn't pick up again in quality.

This made me like Lotus a whole lot more. Meanwhile the others were busy killing themselves, he took all the treasure for himself and escaped relatively unharmed. He has became one of my fave characters of the series for that.

It has reach to a point where even Asta acknowledges he is loud. This show.

So that was the fairy's debut. She's so OP! Asta might be annoying at times, but this guy has a big heart. Mars regained his memory. His friend is still alive. Finally Klaus apologize for always looking down to Asta & Yuno. Next episode is one of my favorite moments in the manga, can't wait for it!

So they adapted Mars' backstory now.
t was good, wasn't as impactful(is that even a word?) as when I read it in the manga but still.

The arc ends... can't believe it took us 19 episodes to get to this point.

How does it feel like the whole arc (main plot + useless backstory + action that is depressing to watch) covers 7 episodes and feels kinda tacked-on?

That's Studio Pierrot for you, acknowledging that their prowess in shounen anime have come this far and only one word to suffice: lackluster.

So far everything feels subpar, not holding on towards the quality of the big 3 in their heyday, and crossing onto 20 episodes, make or break now.

Animation for this episode was horribly done. Mars' backstory was managed terribly as well. It did not hit the feels at all partly because of the animation partly because its 'sections' were not placed correctly. Moreover they even gave a flashback to Mars' flashback in the middle of the episode. I'll probably put it on hold and binge it after 3, 4 months, or maybe after it's finished airing.
Or maybe I'll drop it altogether.

I disliked this episode (but i submitted 'OK' on the poll)... it incorporate the three elements I hate to see the most in anime:
-powers getting handed to you,
-friendship is everything (more like a continuation from last week), and
-save your enemies (albeit not so much).

then it became cringy, when Asta and Yuno's team got together and were talking; all that acknowledgement and blushing etc.
although Asta has a fanbase now, which is a positive, usually the deuteragonist gets that sort of treatment (like sasuke FFS) -but to an extent Yuno still does get that treatment

P.S.
the 'Celestial wind ark' looked s**t this episode, as well as the animation in general... they must've blew their budget last week

This was an okay ending to an okay arc, but the animation was just bad. The magic Yuno used to beat Mars was interesting and a fairy appeared. Klaus hugging Asta and Yuno was amusing.

Okay so a little pixie 🧚‍♀️ bitch pops out and kills diamond boy....
Idk bro... but it seems like the arc is over!

I don’t think diamond boi is finished like... something is gonna resurrect him in the story! Classic shonen ... I don’t like his character so I wish he was done!
Also the background music when they were escaping sounded like that one Indian soap opera when she was washing the computer lol

Wow, they showed the exact same flash back sequence twice in one episode, the latter simply having a bit more additional scenes.

Also, how convenient the dungeon collapses after they defeat him and not while they're fighting. They would have made it more interesting.

Thought Yuno's new power was just going to redirect/push the sword away from Asta but nope, small gust of wind destroys the entire thing and blasts Mars away. Okay. Nice to see the little girl added to the opening though.

Oh and Noelle cleavage.

After 19 episodes, I still can't tollerate that at the beginning, the story of the one mage who saved everyone, is getting told.
Its not just this anime, but f.e. World Trigger. I hate it...
But now to the actual episode: I think that it was great that we saw everyone working together and we saw the new spell of the role. But honestly especially at the end, the animations were kind of cheap (in my opinion), what isnt that bad, but they could have done better.

Mediocre episode, but I figured they couldn't all be action-packed. Just typing up some loose ends. Since it's not really too important of an episode, it makes sense that the animation took a bit of a hit - save the budget for better episodes.

Overall, whatever. I'm just hoping we get another interesting arc soon after this, and don't have to sit through a bunch of random crap first.

Also, Yuno is Dio now?

When will the anime industry finally change and evolve to be more efficient with its production, staff, budget etc?

Like seriously, this level of pacing and animation shouldn't be condoned.

I really hope they will get more money later on for better animation. Yuno stopping time was pretty cool and tsundere Klaus is pretty funny. I've also realized how stupid Mars' backstory is. Why would the diamond kingdom spend all this money and resources training these kids just to have them kill each other?

Honestly, for some reason this episode felt kind of.....off. Idk what exactly is making me feel this way, maybe it could just be that I'm tired right now, but I feel like the way this episode was put together made it seem weird.

Anyway, this arc is finally over. Thankfully it wasn't stretched over an entire cour like the 1st arc. Still, it's quite ridiculous that only 20 or 21 chapters have been adapted in almost as many episodes. I appreciate the intention behind adding more shit to expand upon the manga material, but this is pushing it imo. I feel like these first 2 arcs could have been done within the first 12 or 13 episodes.

This is normally the part where I'd finish with something like "hopefully the pacing picks up in the next arc" but lets be real....this is a shounen manga adaptation by Studio Pierrot. The pacing will most definitely NOT pick up. Maybe they'll surprise me.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

It was an OK episode. I agree that the animation seems to be taking a dive, but story and characters are a little bit better.

Looking forward to the next episode where Asta meets a bunch of nobles
Looking forward to the Mimosa --> Asta <-- Noelle love triangle.

LOLZ at the very last script! Asta said: "Being loud is my magic!" Basically the whole point of this show! haha!
Yuno unleashed his limit break! nice one! seems like he entered on a different reality mode to stop time and that little elf girl helped defeat Mars cuz that what Yuno got from the scroll inside the dungeon.
You know what guys Black Clover has a fairly a nice plot...but it would have been much better it not for Studio Pierrot and a different studio would adapt this, this would be much reasonable to watch!
4/5.

Except for some of the still shots I thought this was a great episode. It wrapped up the arc, explained Mars' backstory, introduced Yuno's new power and had some good feels between the two teams. Loved the hug and apology from Klaus the most. We also know that the Diamond Kingdom is still a force. I'm really quite curious to see if Mars has changed much from his encounter with Asta.

Dunno how many times I've seen this "original" backround story.

Klaus acknowledging the peasants was a pretty nice moment.

Aster's determination sure came back after hearing Noelle's words. But it seems Noelle finally acknowledged Aster though. To think that Mars went through such hellish training though. Given that its no surprise his personality become like that. Their escape from the dungeon was pretty well done though as they had to cooperate to get through the debris. Their determination to save Asta was a great motivator. To think that Mars friend sacrificed herself to ensure he lived though. Klaus's attitude sure did a 180 though. Looks like Asta has Mimosa and Noelle chasing after him now.

Asta and Yuno both learned new (and pretty strong) magic. The end was a bit too cheesy but all in all I think it was a very good episode.

I don't usually see who's the staff involved in the anime being made, but this is so bad so I got curious... it makes sense to be bad.
So the Bulls that should have get the dungeon treasure since they were the ones that won, got nothing. Golden got the treasure(spell) in the end without doing nothing lol
