Black Clover has quite possibly made me a professional autist... if I wasn’t already one before.

DISCLAIMER: Read the review at your own risk, be wary of not spoilers, but the possibility simply reading this will have your body next to my grave after the light of our souls are extinguished by the cultists. The approaching critique will shatter your mind harder than Sister Lily’s did in our favorite Black Clover doujins.

Let’s not drag things out any further or else it’ll stay much too canon to the show’s pacing and likely piss off the limited attention the fanbase has for anything good enough writing to qualify ... as a literary work. First and foremost, let’s start at... the show’s start. Were it up to the aforementioned fanbase, the start may vary from zero to twenty, or from zero to ninety episodes. Some may say it really doesn’t start until it’s somewhere near one hundred twenty alternatively known as the arc starring the Elven tribe (the reincarnation arc), and gains one more shocking layer of writing called “connections” to add coherency into the bootleg long-running shounen copy, raising the complexity to generous 1 out of 10. You may ask what to make of everything before?

“It’s just a little slow and starts off on the wrong foot.”

This, you might hear from a delusional fan that mumbles to form a proper sentence as he chokes on whispering to slight his favorite c*ck sleeve of a show. Consequently, such little negativity may have you bamboozled into thinking to watch one of the more recent and fresh long-running shounen’s readily available on your screen to gouge out your eyes, ears, brains, and heart for much else. The show resembles ASMR were it the ear-splitting screams of a pre-pubescent boy every time he seeks to conjure up more than a single fucking brain cell throughout the entirety of the monstrosity. The brilliant argument-annihilating and most certainly surprising response to this particular attack goes toooooooooooooo:

“youll git USED too after round 30 or 60 episodes to Asta moan, bro.”

You may notice the degradation of a fan’s lingual proficiencies in the struggle to defend Black Clover’s Omniscience. No, it is not the show that shall change to be nicer to its fans. It must be the viewer base, drowned in the sea of garbage repeatedly until your hidden masochistic urges emerge. This show, the one that had access to a voluminous plethora of content to kick-start itself decides to include filler in its first six episodes or half a cour to the average Anime watcher. The quality of its production value varies harder than the mood swings of a heroine featured in a highschool romance. From the MS Paint drawings we sketched in our spare time thoughtlessly to a few seconds of the rare well-angled shot in the forty hours I’ve witnessed. These above-average scenes you may find bombed in all of your searches when, god-forbid, questioning its art. Asta is, after all, a certifiable short-tempered muscle midget. But that isn’t what the antagonists are afraid of in the first sixty episodes. No, not at all. It’s them pissing about in wonderment for the sixty-ninth time that they find out the little fucking goblin protagonist’s got Anti-Magic. Tails between their legs, they’ll scurry in fear now that they’re practically useless. And may I comment that the subject of the show’s power system is conspicuously skirted everywhere? It’s fucking terrible, by the way. I’m sure you’d guessed by now. Faulty “real-world” logic to cover unbalanced diarrhetic scales of magical power.

In the end, I suppose it’s actually around a three to a four out of ten right now. Personally, as the average anime-watcher and my expectations tricked by the seductive lure of shounen and the show’s fans, I waltzed straight into watching. Only to be raped like one of the heroines in the Hentais that embody a tornado of cum, piss, and shit obliterating their consciousnesses ever so slowly. Therefore, I’ve given it a (I’m sure my score must surprise you) one out of ten. Most people seem to judge only by its latest arcs. Which are better but don’t raise the show’s score past a four. The show’s openings are pretty nice if there’s merit to be had. Otherwise, it’s a veteran all-rounder that had properly followed the 101 guides to be a shitfaced long-running shounen written and directed by the fantasies of a four-year-old's version of literary elements, such as character interactions and dark turns. I’d doom the show to be watched only by the most desperate of long-running shounen cultists if I should have the sudden urge to troll them. I’ve heard that it’s manga is a little better, so try to check that out. Apparently, the show only magnifies everything bad in the manga by a dozen. Expect only proper logic in Black Clover’s Anime quinquennially.
