Well done Asta, you've become self-aware. Now do something about it and calm your ass down.


Was this in the manga? Would be cool if this was 4th wall breaking as an response to peoples complaints of previous episodes.

It was an ok episode with ups and downs. Still find it watchable, I'm sucker for wizard setting

As expected of the capital magic really is more prevalent here. Despite seemingly not caring about Asta its nice to see that they actually do. The entrance exam sure has a lot of people hoping to pass and join the knights though. So even news that Yuno was granted the four leaf clover has reached the capital then. Its funny that even the birds don't think Asta will get far in the exam. Seems that even among the knights some of their squads are rather infamous too. Never expected that all of the captains will be here to observe the exam though. So the first test is flying with magic the basic of basics it seems. So it seems that even in this world there are royalty too. Nozel seems to detest his sister though. Asta's lack of magic power though is really hurting his chances in magic related tests though combat will be a different story. And with this display of strength the impression of Asta has changed fully.

nah, it's anime original, but it does oftenly very meta, but not parody...

Because there is no spoiler under the spoiler tag. You just repeat what you already said that I am wrong. You never explain how I am wrong or what will happen. So there is no reason for the spoiler as it contains no spoiler info, so is a trol.

you said to "confirm or infirm" your question in a spoiler tag. and so i did. don't contradict urself. oh yeah, and it is considered a spoiler since i technically revealed something that has yet happened in the anime. that's spoiling. oh and btw, the spoiler only refers to one of your predictions.

Asta fanboying was so cute. Haha. Ugh. Yuno fucking smiled. I'm not okay. Hahaha. He's so handsome.

So, you can eat a snake!?! What. Ewww. Haha. What the fuck are you eating, Asta!?! Lmfao. "Anyone want some grilled purple snakes that I just happened to catch somewhere or other?" Hahaha!

Did see it coming that Yuno will be some sort of idol here. Hehe. I guess the five-leaf clover grimoire is not that popular or remarkable, but the guy from the first episode freaked the fuck out, though. Or that reception guy didn't see his grimoire clearly? Hehe. Heck, it really is filthy.

Those birds flocking to Asta was so hilarious, of course nothing will go to Yuno. Gah! Even the birds are so done with Asta. Haha.

That eyeliner guy is so gay for that big guy who hurt Asta. Hahahahahahahahahaha! Alright, I'll stop now.

Wow. Nice seeing those captains. These captains are special then and one of them can be the future Wizard King. I want to see the current Wizard King, though. Damnit.

Asta's unfortunate yet hilarious moments during their exam. Haha. Just when I thought Asta finally found a friend, but it turns out that blond guy is belittling him all that time. Fucksake. Poor Asta, heck, that blond guy got what he deserved. Omedetou, Asta!

I wonder if that girl will be somewhat special in this anime especially to Asta and Yuno. That motherfucker of a brother telling her that her existence is unnecessary, though. Wow. Fuck you, maan. Don't let that get into you, girl. Your existence matters. Fuck him!

5/5 for this episode. And somehow I finally got used to Asta's voice. So, I can survive watching every episode of this anime. Hehe.

I laughed so hard when he said that. Haha. I love Asta. Lmfao.

This is not bad as people are making it out to be, even if both main characters are a bit weak. Eagerly waiting for the next episode.

Asta's sword seems Tensa Zangetsu rip off though (Shikai with bankai colour scheme). I haven't watched Naruto so can't on similarities on that front.

This was a really great episode. We finally get to see more characters and I like the designs of the captains, except the Violet one. Nozel gives me Byakyua feels. He even got the little sister. Speaking of her, this is the first time we've seen the girl from the OP. Wonder what role she's going to play. IDK which Captain I like the best yet. Also Sakke is a butt, but Asta beating him was obvious. I wonder how the captains will react when they see Asta's grimore. For some reason I think Asta's going to end up with Yami and Yuno is going to end up with William.

4/5

Holy crap. A episode when most people that watch it loved it? I didn't seeing that coming at all :|

Compared to other manga it was fast paced. The current arc is nearly double the length of the second longest arc (sports festival arc). Those two arcs are the only arcs with more than 20 chapters. 15-17 chapters is pretty short for an arc. It's not fast paced in the way tbat things are rushed, but rather that the content is cut short. Stain Arc is probably the best example of an arc that would've been longer if the manga was slower paced. If you've read the current arc, it is obvious that the pacing got slower with chapter 115. The current arc is way slower paced and has way more content than the ones before.

hmm. That's a good point, but I still feel as though it's only "slow" because we have to wait a week between chapters |'D
That said, I did catch it still updating during the previous two arcs so I believe you do have a point. They do have more things fleshed out in the newer arcs than the previous ones.

That still said, I'm still dead convinced the pacing for this anime is ok 8V Nobody can convince me otherwise.

I've been up to date with the manga since chapter 45 which is the first chapter of the Stain Arc. So I needed to wait one week for a new chapter back then as well. Up until the
the arcs didn't feel as slow as the current one. Not that I mind that the current arc is longer, it's actually better than all arcs being as short as the previous ones.

I also never said I'm not fine with how it's paced. The pacing of the anime is perfect. I don't mind pacing as much as others as long as it isn't too slow or too fast. The previous pacing wasn't too fast and the current pacing isn't too slow.
Despite not having that much content, Horikoshi was able to create enjoyable arcs with really great moments. Now that there's more content, he fleshes out the arc more and adds a lot more details, characters to work with, etc.

I really like the way Horikoshi is handling everything and I hope he continues that way.

As for Black Clover, the manga's arcs gradually got longer over time, not such a sudden jump the way Boku no Hero Academia handled it. I think I enjoyed it the most until Arc 4. After that, I didn't enjoy it as much, the most recent Arc (Arc 8) had a few great moments though. But it's noticeable that the story writing has quite a few flaws. There haven't been any plotholes so far, but I wouldn't be surprised if it will end up having lots of plotholes.

Boku no Hero Academia's story writing kind of feels more similar to One Piece while the story writing Black Clover has to offer feels more similar to Naruto. I feel like Horikoshi knows exactly what he is doing and what he wants to do while Tabata (mangaka of Black Clover) doesn't really think that far ahead. I feel like Tabata might only write the story of the next arc right now while Horikoshi is already 3-4 Arcs ahead or even has the vast majority of his story written down already.

Oda for example already had the story of One Piece written down for the most part before he even started his manga and is only adding more stuff, changing up a few things, etc since then. Kishimoto on the other hand didn't even know how to kill off the final antagonist of Naruto, so he just introduced an even stronger antagonist 20 chapters before the manga ended. The first time that character got mentioned was about 50 chapters before the manga ended. So basically, he had no plan how to wrap up things within the story. This is a big issue when you haven't planned out your story beforehand or planned everything out during the release of the manga. I haven't read or watched Fairy Tail, but I believe that Fairy Tail had the same issue, but it was even worse from what I've heard.

Felt like I was watching Naruto + Fairy Tail + Bleach at the same time.

The background characters really liked to hype things up, made me cringe to be honest, a bit worse than what Fairy Tail did.

Very predictable, I hope next episode will be more interesting at the very least.

Oh bahaha I didn't mean you specifically XD
I made that note as a general comment to everyone who thinks it's going too fast.

Also I think I've read somewhere that Horikoshi actually has up to the end of BNHA planned out (I believe it may have been an interview). He just modifies/edits the chapters depending on the situation.

Just here to bring up the 5/5 poll average. I don't know why people are giving this anime such a hard time. Okay it's not original but it's decent. Maybe it's because I haven't seen much shounen anime that I'm not sick of this story.

YUU KOBAYASHI IS IN THIS ANIME!!! AHHHH! Fangirling aside, this almost makes up for Asta's ear-grating yelling. Almost. So glad to hear her, the last time I heard her in an anime was Attack on Titan Season 2.

The characters are eccentric, but there's too many of them and the purpose of the squads hasn't been made clear. I wonder which one will take Asta. Also I swear the bug guy is the one who attacked Asta, Yuno and those guys from the village. He's got that overly-villainous looking face.
