| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Whoa, out of all the episodes of this arc, episode 63 turns out be one of the most dynamic imo in terms of the action content. It only took a few minutes but Asta immediately jumps into action to show how serious he is in his fight. Best episode in this arc so far imo, maybe even the entire series. If there's one thing, Asta really let his anger erupt ...literally. |
 |
| OMG!!!! PHENOMENAL EPISODE! Godly animation, insane action, pure sakugafest! Better than the manga imo, best anime episode of the year material here |
 |
| Holy shit I think that were the worst animations in anime history but so epic!!! |
 |
| They tried to pull a Mob Psycho 100, but eh, not bad for a continuing series. |

jwinter01 said: Fate Apocrypha flashbacks in this one. At least with the Fate episode I could keep track and know what was going on, they looked to give the camera movement for this episode to a 4 year old for about 5 minutes, the plain artsyle does make for smoother animation but this didn't get good until about 9 minutes in for me when I could actually keep track of the fighting Definitely not the type of content I'd see in what others are calling "The episode to change shounen anime forever!" |
| Great episode. I like how Asta can fully control his body, and the reason why he's getting berserk wasn't because the villain hurt his friends. Next episode should be epic as well.. Vanessa will be the key character (as shown in the preview).

Well you know fans, they have a tendency to over-hype stuff. Nothing is ever going to be a true game-changer, especially just 1 episode out of an ongoing show such as this. But eh what can ya do? All ya can do is just look through the hype & smoke and judge for yourself an honest opinion on what ya saw. |

Oh so you were just giving hot takes. Continue then. |
Netami00 said: We got a glimpse of what could this show be like if it had a proper budget and not 100$ per episode. Of course comparing to some high quality shows out there in the ether it was still subpar but for Black Clover standards it was a 11/10 episode. We got some answers, some slight humor, awesome fight and then more questions and a cliffhanger. For how mediocre the show is I wish it had more episodes like this as there's clearly potential in the source material. The problem isn't the budget but time. The production for this episode started before episode 59 meaning they were working on this longer than the other episodes in this arc. |
| Wow so many people here don't know what animation is, it's sad Go search "sakuga" and "webgen animators" and educate yourselves |

| Best fucking episode yet, it was amazing. |

| That has to be the trippiest shit I have watched since Fate/Apocrypha, and I absolutely loved it. It was insane as heck, but very cool. Also Asta didn't go berserk as I thought he would, he seemed conscious (and he was at least towards the end of the fight). That might change now that the Witch Queen has controlled him, betraying everyone, to nobody's surprise. |
 |
| Episode was nice but again animation was terrible. |
 |
| Tatsuya Yoshihara = God One of the most impressive episodes this year. Great surreal cuts, action scenes with great sense of scale and even fun character acting scenes, this episode had everything. The animation always offered something new and you could really tell that everyone working on this had a blast animating their cuts. True that. Everytime an episode like this airs, you can count on anime fans shittalking the episode and staff. |
| Pierrot once again shows that they can really turn it on and make this show look good when it counts. I just wish these episodes weren't so few and far between. This was probably the first good-looking (not perfect, but better than what we've been getting lately) episode since episode 49 (and ffs, people are saying this episode looked bad....do people even know what sakuga is?). Overall, I enjoyed this episode, and I don't say that a lot with this show. Hopefully we won't have to wait 15 more episodes to get the next decent-at-the-very-least episode.

I think he probably meant the episode didn't live up to hype in terms of being "the episode to change shounen anime forever," and it didn't (idk what went through peoples minds to even suggest that in the first place). Btw, do you have source for what you said about this episode's production starting before episode 59, because I'm curious and interested in that. "Anime fans actually hate animation." It's a sad sight to behold when people flat out say the episode looked bad. It wasn't perfect but it wasn't absolutely terrible. It's pretty astonishing, the amount of anime fans who seem to know very little about even the most basic aspects of the industry (I'm no expert, but I at least know some stuff). |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |

I misunderstood then. That was just CR baiting people to watch the episode. I can't remember exactly but it was from an animator that worked on the episode. Saw it in NarutoSakuga discord channel. |
| The fight was cool, that power was amazing! The Queen needs to be taught a lesson! |

Yeah that's what I meant. Never meant that the episode was bad, just that people can overhype shit far beyond what's actually reasonable & within the realms of reality. Though damn "anime fans hating animation" boy are lot of people are idiots. Sad thing really, people talking smack without any idea of what their talking about. Plagues every level of society. |

jjcrowx1 said: this was bad. half the time i couldn't even tell what was being shown on screen, just felt like random colors flashing. Same. It was actually so bad in some parts I literally felt nauseous. I'm very weak to that style. I hope they never do that again. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| i get this was meant to be the episode were they finally add good animation but like it still mainly shit (still better then all the other eps though) |
| They've been hyping this episode for the last week, so I went into this with extremely high expectations. And I was not disappointed. The animation style isn't for everybody, but man do I love it! |
 I love to talk anime and manga, feel free to message me! |
| Finally we get to see Asta's devil form in action! The animation was amazing although the art style and choreography could have been slightly better but overall the episode was great. |
| That was some crazy animation. Definitely a mob psycho vibe like others have said. I was a little hard to follow tho. It was like all pastel colors and the backgrounds were not very detailed with weak lines. It's partly a stylistic choice I'd say, but you can't expect crazy detailed backgrounds while having super fluid animation of characters zooming around -at least not from black clover. Usually backgrounds would be blurred in these kinda scenes, and maybe they should have went with that, but this is still way better than usual. Anyone that says this is bad animation has no idea what animation even is. I mean even just the character animation was leagues better than usual. Even something as simple as Mariella turning around in a random side scene was done very fluidly. Anyway, I really liked like art and animation in mob psycho, so it's a shame black clover couldn't have had this kinda style since the beginning. Imagine how much better it could have been if it was a little easier to follow. |
| I call it a paint animation, still wondering why any mangaka in Japan risk his material with such a Studio like Pierrot. |
| Meh I mean I enjoyed the fight and i think it was well-animated, it reminded me of Sieg v Karna of Fate Aprocypha But everything else was bad No emotion, pointless motivation, waste of a plot point(You mean to tell me that such an important transformation is used against a nobody and has no build up whatsoever?, weird tone, no coreography and i felt Nothing I watched the fight, i didn't experience it If this is the best moment of Black Clover, then... (Kill me if you want) |
| May our sweet and Merciful Madoka be with you |
Klips said: Looked like shit most the time and impossible to follow. To all the smartasses talking shit about the people for saying the animation was shit, you know damn well what they mean. Animation may have been good, but it was fucking disguting to look at. Yeah, we know what they mean, cause plebs always manage to get it wrong. This thread is another proof for MAL's shit. taste. |
