A few spoilers (name mentions)
When I first watched Black Clover back in 2017, I wasn't that interested in the story as I saw it as just another shounen, and I was right, there was the main character training himself to become the wizard king and he was loud and obnoxious(which I really hated) but I still kept watching, feeling somewhere that it would get better. But eventually I dropped it at around episode 46, as it was getting boring and I had a lot of work coming my way.
I was sure I would never come back and watch this anime.
However, my brother kept nagging me to give it a chance, for 2 years, and when I finally got a break from life, I gave it a try again, ignoring all the bad aspects of the anime, (slow plot, just decent characters, animation etc.) and ploughed through another 20 or so episodes.
I have to say this.
I'm glad I listened to my brother.
Black clover had such a slow buildup that I didn't even realise it was a buildup till we got to the actual drop, and that drop dropped me from so far high up and I kept falling and falling and fell so hard in love with this show. Asta became from that obnoxious, loud and annoying brat to one I looked forward to and whenever Yami had screentime I would squeal in excitement. Yami is my number one character in this show. I LOVE HIM. HE IS BEST BOI from the very start, which was the only thing which gave black clover some grace in the early episodes, he single handedly carried the show, and that's a huge compliment. Gosh, I just loved the character growth, which is refreshing to see and the story just became so GOOD. I just lost it at the elves arc, and it only got better from there. That changed my whole opinion of black clover. Anyways I loved this show a lot, though here and there it was meh , but the quality rose so high that I had to forgive the beginning comparatively trash episodes.
I was hooked to the show and felt alive with the characters, and was super invested in the story.
Black Clover was one of those shows that I put on hold because of bundled up work and then felt really reluctant to get back to because of its average plot and characters. I thought it couldn't surpass itself in progressing the main plot or developing the story/characters, however it managed to take me by surprise, that it turned me into a massive fan. Waiting for more Yami and the crew.
Come on, make more episodes!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!
