So I was wondering why does this have such a low score ?
Especially compared to the manga.

I actually read a few chapters some time before and dropped it because it got an anime adaptation. But now with such a score is it still worth the shot to see it or should just skip it ?

Imagine Luffy screaming "I want to be the pirate king", Naruto screaming "I want to be Hokage", Goku screaming to become Super Saiyan mega blue-red-orange-rainbow 4 at the top of their lungs every second you see them. Now multiply that by any number you can think of. You might as well add every cliche you see in shonen anime while you're at it.

if you like hot blooded shounen, it's worth a try... it was embodiment of battle shounen and i like it the way it is...

I understand the low score, but to me Black Clover is quite underrated. People are getting upset at the cliché but that's the essence of the show and that's why I decided to stay. I'm having fun watching it.

As for me, I only give the score after finishing the entire series.

Okay, let's say the art style is not too bad and the animation didn't bother me that much?

For me, dungeons were more of a computer game concept than a story element in an anime. Therefore, I associate dungeons in anime with Magi. ^^"

Clichés per se are rarely the problem, imo. The problem is, when you don't use the cliché as a fundament, where you are able to build something on your own.

The reason i think Fairy tail is shit, is not because it is generic but because it has very weak uninteresting story, and also most of the fights are shit. Only good thing about that it has hot women that wear little clothes.

I don't have problem with generic anime. A lot of good anime that I like are generic


Hero Academia has way better fights and better story, more serious, and not many fillers like fairy tail. Even the main plot in fairy tail feels like a filler quality to me.


Black Clover is average so far and it is getting a little better in newer episodes (the last episode 15 is the best so far). It is not as good as hero academia or seven deadly sins, but better than Fairy tail in my opinion.

first 2-3 episodes were bad - lots of astas screechings, flashbacks, boring action. I guess lots of people dropped it with low score

It's pretty disappointing for me, even as a fan of the manga. The thing that makes the manga good is that it's so damn fast paced and it's the opposite in the anime. Studio decided to put in fillers from the very first episode for some god forsaken reason. The manga is pretty generic and all so the I didn't expect the show to be great or anything, I expected it to be average but this is just bad.

Simply put Black Clover is one of the worst shounen series ever made in both manga and anime.
Mediocre characters with a shitty male lead Asta.
Fairy Tail level of Worldbuilding where it's utter shit
Poor voice acting for the sub
Awful pacing for a shounen series
Mediocre visuals
It's to cliche for its own good.
The only thing saving this show is the dub but that's not saying much tbh.
Least Fairy Tail was decent until that horrific Grand Magic Games arc where the show becomes a dumpster fire of garbage

Disregarding the glaring issue with the execution with the protagonist's voice, the anime' animation seemed to have to degraded from the first few episodes. Especially the last episode where a pretty long battle happened which was quite distracting. Does not bode well when we are 16 episodes in a 50 episode series

Reason it's so low is because asta's voice acting. They don't want to hear the yelling of it so for some people because the Japanese isn't good that means it just isn't good. But if they were willing to watch the eng dub and get over themselves then maybe it would have a higher score than it does right now. So it's low because of the Japanese voice acting purists who think the only way to watch anime is through eng sub.

I agree that people hate Asta's voice and screaming. (if that's his name, because I read a bit of the manga and his name was Aster but in my country it's subbed as Asta so idk)

I also think it's very generic,so I understand why people hate on this show. I don't hate the animation tho, it's ok. I'll personally keep on watching it.

I'm going to say it is a bullshit score brought on by a bunch of haters whose opinions don't really matter. Yes, the MC can be annoying and it is very similar to Naruto. That doesn't make it a horrible anime. The animation is amazing and whoever doesn't agree needs their eyes examined or are watching out of quality. I think it is pretty good so far. It is entertaining. The animation is great. So I think the score is a bunch of bandwagon hate and people who just hate on everything. Then you have the people who actually just don't like it or aren't interested. The others just want to make a fuss.

The ANIMATION is LACKING and the pace is abysmal. The fact that they stretched out the first chapter across 4 episodes and added filler from the get go is dumb as all hell. I've seen just about every mainstream shounen possible and there is nothing you get from Black Clover that you can't get somewhere else with a better story and interesting ideas.

It's babies first shounen.

Honestly, I don't believe I've watched enough yet to give a proper opinion, but to the haters' credit, I do find Asta annoying as hell, and with what I have seen I'm already kinda bored. I recall rolling my eyes at the end of the first episode. I wouldn't mind the cliches if I liked the MCs better. Even Yuno's stoic character seems too much to me. I just feel like there's an overall lack of effort in everything from the plot to the characters, but as I mentioned above, I haven't watched enough yet to give a fair full opinion, so I'll shut my mouth now... Maybe it'll surprise me down the road (she says optimistically).

And since Asta seems to be the main topic of hate, I can't help but wonder what it would be like if his character was mute. You don't see too many mute MCs, let alone a hyper, over-the-top one. That could have been interesting, and on the positive side, even if they botched up the execution, at least we wouldn't have to listen to him. :b

Seriously Read the manga its great Probably one of the easiest series to read and get into. I look forward to black Clover chapter than i do a My hero chapter and almost as much as a one piece chapter. The anime is Trash with the pacing And Animation, Boruto's Animation look better than this the art's not as bad as Boruto's though Voice acting for Asta isn't that bad just gotta get used to it now it doesn't really bother me.

Now If you still wanna watch the anime I'd say do it along side the manga so you can appreciate the added scene's, if not the anime is bound to get Better about 30-40 episodes going by the anime pacing by that time they should be in my all time favorite arc gave me a bleach Soul society feel. Black clover is really amazing I wouldn't go outta my way writing this if it wasn't The anime just could've been alot better.

The main reason is because people compare this to other, better shonens which is an unfair way to look at the show. Through comparing it to other shonens people like it less because it's not a "HxH" or "FMA", but in reality it isn't that bad of a story, the anime is solid but lacks, in reality I'd recommend reading it for a shot.

Let's face it, it's a generic shonen anime that has poor pacing and has too much filler in the early stages, causing it to fail the arbitrary "3 episode rule" that a lot of people follow. I enjoy it, and a lot of other people do as well, but it's no wonder why people are rating it low.

Honestly I watched all 18 episodes and at beginning Astas screaming was annoying but after few episodes it really tonned down so I really started enjoying the show. I now love it it has huge potential. Everyone giving it 1 are fucking morons believe me. It's solid 8+.

The Main reason is that it takes the Shonen Genre and does exactly what other shonen do without trying to innovate or look for something new . It doesn't do anything really poorly but everything about it smells Generic , Asta / Yuno Rivalry is a Generic shonen-like Interaction like ; Sasuke / Naruto for Exemple . The Whole Moron Wanting to become something that should be out of reach ( Wizard King ) is the Exact same as Naruto Wanting to become Hokage and the Squads are Pretty the Konoha Teams Rip-offs .
On so Many Level "Black Clover" is Similar to "Naruto" and since "Naruto" is extremly popular it gives "Black Glover" a feeling of Deja Vu .

I personally like it quite a bit. I know most people hate it, complain about the VA, etc I've heard those generic Excuses a million times and people wanna fit the norm but whatever. I personally enjoy it, and the manga is (not to sound cliched) even better. It has a lot of promise, and its going to be around for awhile. The manga's done about 2.5 (51-episode) seasons worth as of now, and is nowhere near being completed.
