 The 39th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shounen Jump magazine, which was released today on August 29, 2016, has announced that this year's Jump Festa will feature a special anime episode of the manga Black Clover, as well as the previously announced special for Boku no Hero Academia, and special screenings of Shokugeki no Souma, Sousei no Onmyouji, and Isobe Isobee Monogatari: Ukiyo wa Tsurai yo.Synopsis Asta and Yuno were abandoned together at the same church and have been inseparable since. As children, they promised that they would compete against each other to see who would become the next Emperor Magus. However, as they grew up, some differences between them became plain. Yuno was a genius with magic, with amazing power and control, while Asta could not use magic at all and tried to make up for this by training physically. When they received their Grimoires at age 15, Yuno got a spectacular book with a four-leaf clover (most people receive a three-leaf-clover), while Asta received nothing at all. However, when Yuno was threatened, the truth about Asta's power was revealed, and he received a five-leaf clover Grimoire, a "black clover"! Now the two friends are heading out in the world, both seeking the same goal! (Source: MangaHelpers, edited) Black Clover has been serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump since February 16, 2015 by Yuuki Tabata. There are seven compiled manga volumes released so far, with the seventh volume recently shipped on August 4, 2016. Source: Nijipoi, Jump Festa Lineup News submitted by Jicetus Black Clover on MAL |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Oh yeah, this is the one that I've heard is a supposed "ripoff" of Naruto and some other shounen. I'll watch it for myself before believing whether or not it's a legit "ripoff," since many people love to throw that word around whenever something is even remotely similar to anything else (even though I've been guilty of that as well lol). It's only a matter of time before this gets a full anime. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| I was waiting for this :") |
| Sooner or later, i thought it would've been sooner. Kinda obvious that it's a promo for upcoming serialization, won't hype (i like manga quite a lot even as cliche as it is) it up until at least the studio will be announced. |
 |
| Oh no, another shitty battle shonen gets animated (and this one is shitty even for the shitty battle shonen standards) while dank stuff like Hinomaru Zuma is not animated. Why you do this World Shonen Jump ? |
 |
| So this basically means that it will get a TV show soon? It was an obvious choice, though a very bad. It's as generic as a WSJ title can get, and lacks any originality. If you saw Magi, Fairy Tail, Naruto and Bleach, you've seen it already. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| This is a sign for upcoming TV anime. I enjoyed the manga even with nothing "new" or "unique" than other popular or newest WSJ series. Welcome to the anime,Black Clover :) |
  |
| Been wanting to read this manga, so i would love an anime :3 |
| Best manga on that list is def Isobe Isobee Monogatari. But still happy for the fans of Black Clover. |
 |
| I really hope we got a right studio for do justice the animation... Since black clover art was amazing though. |
 |
| Really like the artstyle , but the plot is so urgh . |
| Oh wow, I just started reading Black Clover. Seems like a pretty decent Shounen so far. Should be nice seeing it animated, Wonder when they'll announce a full anime adaptation. |
 |
| I was kind of expecting this sooner or later, but knowing how the series will go I know I will dread this somewhat. Good for the fans at least :) |
TheLittleRedHero said: a ripoff between two ripoffs? considering how generic the first 15 chapters have been i actually think this is a valid statement..I heard this was a ripoff between Naruto and Fairy Tail, which while I don't know WHY so much, I do kind of assume how the plot is. I will go and watch it of course but I'm not keeping my expectations that high. I heard that the manga turned decent rather recently. i hope it's either toei or pierrot |
 |
| Finally, i can see one of my favorite manga getting animated!! :D |

Trash studio for trash manga. |
 |
| Full anime soon :) |
 |
| Black Clover manga fans; is this gonna be any good? |
TheLittleRedHero said: True but when it comes to good shonen adaptations, they're the last studio you should good go to. (ex : Ao no Exorcist, Magi, Nanatsu no Taizai)But A-1 Isn't shit though. I mean they're mediocre, that's just it. They can at least bring decent or good animation of course. I guess for BC I just don't really know since I haven't read the source material tbh. |
|
| Hopefully this is Toei, pierrot or A1. Good studios can have better shonen. |
| Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse. Now take a look at Berserk (2016). YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY. |
| Black Clover is a really fun manga, I'm excited to see the special, I hope it gets an anime by a decent studio. Please no Pierrot or Toei. |
 |
| Nice. Hope this means a full series soon. |
| Heard this manga was terrible, but I'll still watch this. Can't be worse than Taboo Tattoo or Big Order at least. |
| I know it! I read the manga, it's fun but somehow I got this similar feeling from reading Fairy Tail. Is it the plot? |
 |
Burger-Meister said: It wasn't good at first, but becomes better as the story goes. Plus, it MUCH better than Taboo Tattoo.Heard this manga was terrible, but I'll still watch this. Can't be worse than Taboo Tattoo or Big Order at least. |
| I haven't read the manga,but I have heard many people bashing it,because of its unoriginality.I'll watch it though,but I have low expectations about this. |
 |
| come at me bitches... you can tell it cliche or anything, but i love how fun and entertaining they are...

Simar said: a ripoff between two ripoffs? considering how generic the first 15 chapters have been i actually think this is a valid statement.. tell me how it is rip-off... it sure your usual hot blooded action shounen, but no, it's not just simply blatantly take another series plot... i don't know why black clover got attacked soo much when many series do the same as well... dunno why but i have feelings it will got picked up by BNP (sunrise). |

Kuma said: > judge a wsj series that usually desgned to be long run with 15 chapters... MAL never stop to amaze me... even a long running manga is supposed to catch you within the first chapter (that's why the first chapter is way longer than a normal weekly chapter) or at least in a very early phase. i liked neither the premise nor the characters hence i don't see the point of reading a manga with a bad base (not in general but for me). there are manga i've dropped much earlier which i don't regret dropping and manga i've dropped much later that make me think that i should've dropped it a long time ago and used the time to start another series (e.g. world trigger which is on my PTR).. |

Simar said: concerning the mc: his behaviour/design was natsu-ish and his "power" was naruto-ish (strong underdog). > 90% of nekketsu shounen MC is hot blooded... none of them is exception... as for other personality, both of them are complitely different... sure both of them thick headed, but in different ways... natsu is very aggresive, very concern about his surrounding, and very easy to provoke, when aster has more patience, less fuck to give about surrounding, and harder to provoke... as for power, as i mentioned above, naruto power is more well known in universe and not that sacret, when aster is totaly unique to it's universe and totaly mystery... because of that, he is actually looked down because how rely the universe with magic and everything measure with magic (unlike naruto)... MC does actually have reason to looked down... |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I really wonder what studio will animate it...maybe Toei or A-1 Pictures. |
 |
| It'll probably get an TV anime sooner or later. Honestly, I don't think the manga is very good. I mean, it's not the worst thing ever, but if you've read a couple other battle shonen series, then there is no point in reading Black Clover. It just does everything anything else does, but not as well. I'll remain cautiously optimistic about the future of the series in anime form... but it doesn't help that the source material just isn't good. |
| "Your guilt will be your past, and that will be your God." |
| I agree that it's not the best shounen out there but I guess it'll be nice to see this. I guess I'll pick up the manga again. |
 |
Key Visual First Look |
| i know expecting manga lvl artwork is too much... but this is kinda too bland... well... lets see how it goes... hope got more information about staff too... |
"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| It's surely not Toei.. Maybe A-1, because they like to make the style looks different from the original source.. |
| Isnt this that Naruto rip-off? If the original wasnt that good this must be AWFUL. |
