I am really enjoying this show! Noel is a pretty annoying character though. I don't think your history should give you an excuse to call someone an "insect"

It's growing on me with each passing episode and maybe it's stolkholm syndrome or something, but I'm actually okay with Asta's voice now too.

I know it's obvious but I gotta say that the ending song is top tier and whenever it pops up at the end of a scene, it just makes that scene look like a masterpiece.

This was one of the better episodes imo. Was Astas nonstop screaming better this episode or have I just grown accustomed to it? lmao The first half was definitely enjoyable, then incomes tsundere Noelle-sama Like some of you said, the pacing of her character was pretty fast, I approve. I still hope the pacing picks up because it's not covering much of the manga atm :/

OMG LUCK. woo I'm so excited for the future episodes. I fucking love Yami too. Scratch that, I love all the Black Bull members :')

I'm glad Noelle's bitch phase only lasted an episode because if she was like that for multiple episodes it would be hard for me to eventually like her. Also, another solid episode for Black Clover, I hope they keep it up

Noelle went from a royal bitch to a happy member of the black bull family much faster than I expected, but I could tell that's where we were headed the moment Asta found her being depressed in the woods. This episode just feels weird. The character development pacing was very fast, yet the overall pacing still feels slow. I think it would have been better to develop her bit by bit over a couple episodes while also moving the story forward so that it feels like we are going somewhere.

This episode was actually pretty fun to watch. I thought the tour of the whole place was fun and quick, I also liked that Asta is already building strong relationships with everyone.

Noelle isn't a character I enjoy so far. Hopefully that changes.

Finally, Noelle makes her appearance, Perriot has done a great job on her I have to say. This should be fun

The one downside to this episode was that they could have put more effort on her "development", from being a complete asshole to blushing and calling Asta
by his name. Too quick for normal audience that hasn't read the manga


Well, if anything, if someone saved me from drowning, I would stop calling him "insect" :)

Late to the party. So we finally know who the girl is, which her name is Noelle Silva. I'm surprised that we basically know what is her backstory is already. So she is a tsundere in a sense, but she opened up herself. So I assume we're getting more action in the next episode then.
Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts.

Just started reading the manga recently and as I assumed, they adapted chapter 5 in this episode (while also, not surprisingly, adding in some anime-original scenes).


Chapter FIVE!?!? Somehow they've managed to spend 7 episodes on 5 chapters of manga. Wow.

I'm kind of glad this change in Noelle's character happened so quickly, I absolutely can't stand pompous, stuck-up royal characters (like sure you're royalty but you're still part of the shittiest group of Magic Knights so calm the fuck down a bit) so the faster she drops that, or at least tones it down, the better.


(not necessarily in response only to this comment, but rather the topic of her personality shift in general) I dunno, I see it as her putting up a front to make up for her lack of magic control, but she very quickly realizes that these are people she can comfortably be with. I think it's just meant as a way to introduce her as a character. The development will come later.

I like it. But honestly, I just kind of went into it expecting a run-of-the-mill shonen with not a whole lot to it. I immediately knew it was going to be a repackaged Naruto/One Piece/Fairy Tail, and that's exactly what I got. I'm satisfied

Yet another episode that fixes some of my problems with the manga. Back in Episode 3 we had a nice little travel montage that fixed the distancing issue in the manga of the capitol being a far away place, now we have an episode that really helps to sell the home base of the Black Bulls. I really liked everything that was added in this episode like the joke with Yami on the toilet and the idea of the interior of the base moving and changing like the Hogwarts Castle. Noelle hasn't really hit her stride as a good character yet though, I'd like some better characterization on her in the future, but other than that this episode is pretty solid.

Pretty chill episode i would say, this anime is nice and it has great potential but i think that Asta screaming all the time ruins a little bit the experience.
Noelle was introduced in this episode, typical tsundere girl xD but give her a few episodes ahaha
That ending was really nice, Nolle was so cute in that scene :3

Take a moment to appreciate this cuteness :3 So cute omg xD

Young thottie has already fallen for Asta. Raise your hand if you saw this coming.

Personally, Asta would be a more honorable character to me if he held on to his love for Sister Lily, but seeing as they realistically cant be together and this is a heavily cliched shounen anime, he's probably gonna end up with the young baka thot.

Noel's acting all high and mighty and she's the most pathetic member of the Bulls. Even IRL people that act like that are always covering up for their shortcomings.

Asta, an insect? I think not. He may have no magic power, but he more than makes up for it with his stamina and strength.

Okay, so let's get a quick summary of this episode

Asta is still screaming so much that my ears are bleeding

We got a new character that is a Royal bitch, but she turned out to be accaptable in the end. So far i am hating this show but i am hoping it will get better

Like the only characters i like Is the Captain and Yuno and the silent goth guy

Yuno got a nice room.
Yuno telling him to call him Yuno.
Klaus telling Yuno to show respect and call him Senpai.
That priest has no faith in Asta.
It's that girl who ain't suppose to exist.
WTF! She slapped Asta's hand away and called him an insect for no reason. How rude. At least insects are meant to exist so Asya is actually in a higher pecking order than you..
lol She's going to drown in her own magic.
Vanessa is back. Dat booty.
Dat Vanessa oppai.
Vanessa: "Jeez. Now I'm all wet." That's what she said.
You better call him by his name.

Best part was Vanessa.

Exactly. It's kinda annoying. She keeps bragging about she's a royalty like, who damn cares? She can't even control her powers.
