Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (147/170 eps)
Ok so I have finally caught up with the show ( after dropping it a number of times in between). Seeing the hype currently created by the show, I would like to talk about it. It wouldn't be long so let's start.

Plot 8/10 . Art 9/10 . Sound 8/10.

Out of the 4 basic aspect of an anime, Black clover excels in 3 of them. The plot is really good (though it sometimes feel like a basic shounen plot) as it's based on the manga by the same name which is also great. Animation of the show is top tier and the soundtracks ( especially op) are amazing.

Character 1/10
That brings us to the 4th aspect of anime, that is characters. The characters in the show are absolutely ridiculous. First of all , I don't understand how much the show is gonna copy Naruto. You have got Asta for Naruto, Yuno for Sasuke, Noelle for Sakura, Yami for Kakashi , Wizard king for Third Hokage , Maereoleona for Tsunade etc... The entire Black bulls is full of the most annoying characters in the world who have been given the most cringe dialogues and cringe scenes in anime history. Voice acting for some characters (Yami) is good while for others , it's pathetic (Magna). The show arguably has the worst bunch of characters in shounen anime.

Overall 6/10

The overall score gets very much affected by the characters. Another problem in the show is that it's rushed( mainly the latter part). The whole reincarnation arc was rushed so much it was difficult to understand what the hell was going on. Even the final villain boss was not given any screen time.

If the characters improve over time the show has the potential to become amazing but currently it's not.
