----------------------------------------
About time Vanessa became more relevant this arc. I almost forgot where she was but coming to help Asta made it worthwhile for her and everyone.

Also can't forget about Finral I guess even though he's still more of a goofy/comic relief character to me in this series. A clash of magic this week.

Vanessa's magic is cool.
That was a nice combo at the end.

Vanessa showed that she's useful for more than just fanservice.

The fight it pretty solid so far, but still rather lackluster compared to what other shounen have shown.

Vetto is really showing how powerful he really is that almost all the Black bull members are having a hard time beating him. This time its Vanessa, Finral and Asta doing the battle between him...

Yay, more of best girl Vanessa is always good. Her fight was short, but cool. Poor Sasuke wannabe, he didn't saw that comming.
Now they are all going to team up against Vetto? I hope it manages to be an awesome battle.

I died with the service magic. Petit Clover is a treasure from heaven.

So it seems we are gonna get a lot of Asta being dragged around by threads and portals trying to get the upper hand. This could be interesting, but Vetto should probably try targeting one of the others.

An almost 6 minute recap that had maybe 2 minutes of new content sprinkled in.....ridiculous.

Well the combo moves with Asta, Vanessa, and Finral were pretty cool I guess.

Ironically, the only part of this episode that I actually liked was the Petit Clover segment, and I usually don't care for those. More service magic please.

Wow. Talk about teasing, this episode dragged out didn't... Dammit! I gotta hand to Pierrot. They did this week right (the animation hasn't improved much -so I'm still waiting)

On another note, the author really needs to fix up the move names, 'cause this episode gave us:
•mythical beast magic; (insert random animals dying... Or gettin' some action),
•different dimension magic, and
•sucker the mana (something like that; when you hear the guy say it over reading the subs -subs said mana sucker).

P.S.
I've always had the feeling that finral is crushing on Vanessa... I wonder how far their relationship will develop

Vanessa is starting to rock right now and as for Finral the wuss, I don't expect much from him in the next. Way to go Asta for grazing that Vetto, their strategy worked like a charm.

I'm loving BC right now and i wished it wasn't 51 episodes.

they actually just shat on our faces with the 6min recap then slow shots then the usual 3min before time end.
I like the story and sometimes the art, but for the love of fuck, just have the show be 25 episodes, instead of 51 filler filled 10min episodes

Why is the anime of black clover becoming more and more like the one piece anime??? 1 chapter per episode rather than the standard 2:1 ratio which the anime was following till now. Prolonged intro and now they even started adding recaps!!! 5 minutes of intro+recap; 1:30 min of OST ; 1:30 min of ED and that petit clover stuff taking another half minute!!! Then how much time is left out of the standard duration of 24 min of an anime episode?????? I understand that the anime is reaching its end; but that's no reason.

6 minutes recap check
Horrible animation check
Beyond awful pacing check
Shitty Writing check
I honestly hope to god that this show doesn't get a second season and gets canceled because Studio Clown took a pretty average manga series that I will admit has some charm especially in later arcs and manages to completely screw all up to rabbit hole territory.
At this point, Studio Clown has given up on the anime.

Service magic is my favorite type of magic.
In same time, it's a good arc...
For what ? Because we don't have the "enemy of the week" who is defeated in one episode !

I honestly have less bad things to say as the show goes on. At the start and I'll admit that honestly even now it takes a lot of (a bit too much) inspiration from the classic tropes of the genre and kinda reminds me too much of the original 'big 3'.

However it has slowly began becoming something different on it's own. I think the turning point was around the kidnapping. Either way I could pick at it all day but it doesn't change that it is definitely getting better and whatever I say about it won't change the fact I watch it weekly and rarely miss the new episodes.

Story: 7
It is kinda predictable to some degree but there are some genuine surprises and it has shown to be more complicated an interesting as time goes on so as I can not give it a very high mark I can not deny that it is still good.

Sound: 7-1=6
I watch the dub because Asta's voice in the sub makes my ears bleed so I will judge the dub and just drop a mark for the pure fact that Asta needs to shut up. Otherwise the Audio is pretty good and I don't really find any flaws in it.

Characters:6
Like I have mentioned before it has gotten progressively better. I had originally had to drag myself through the anime because the characters were too, 2 dimensional (Eg. Asta being simply a not give up type, Luck only being a battle freak, and Yami just being a prick who's supposed to be badass). I don't think it's the backstories which helped as much (though the insight to their past was kinda interesting), but they did overtime show things in their personality which didn't show before. Asta as much as he has, maybe not so much but enough that I can see him being more mature in his thinking if only a bit. I like it though. People like Luck and Magna have changed for the better since Luck being a battle freak seems more psychological and other things I cbf going into and their friendship has actually gotten me happy to see them together. And makes sense. Yami...He hasn't changed a lot but now I have actually seen him be a badass so I'm happy. Plus he is a mate to the wizard King and I like that the friendship they have makes Yami treat the mission as something truly important.

Art style: 8
I can not exlpain it for the life of me but god I do not know why I like the art style looks so much. I genuinely can not. Maybe it's the hardness of the lines or the shadows but either way it looks good and I don't know how else to put it. It just looks good and seems like it suits the genre and setting.

Enjoyment: 7
I enjoy this. I have watched since the start and have kept up since. However there have been time I needed to drag myself through it I enjoyed it none the less and more so as time went on. Aside from what I consider a really bad start it is good now and I can say that I truly enjoy watching it and look forward to the episode to this day.

Overall score: 7
If this was done more towards the start of the series I would honestly have given nothing nearly as good a mark except the art style. But as I have said many times it has gotten better to a point that it is pretty much consistently good all around give or take some points in some areas. But yeah, I like it and I think it's good. That's it.

To think that Vetto's surface skills was not his true skills though. Vanessa's thread magic though sure was interesting. But she sure arrived in time to help though. Funny how Finral ended up assisting his friends despite the desire to run. Interesting teamup of Vanessa, Finral and Asta though.

Lol! It was hilarious when Finral gets all pumped up when Vanessa said that she'll hug him once it's over and he can cry all over her.

This teamwork with Asta as the main fighter along with Finral and Vanessa as his support is so damn good! Manipulating movements with those strings and teleporting with the spatial magic, so versatile and so awesome!

Wow, the Petit Clover in this ep is... THICC
