#Black Clover is a mind numbing cartoon with a few above average moments sprinkled in
Watched black clover as my 1st long shounen when I heard it's the most up-to-date one and it sucked, here's why (contains tagged spoilers)
The more the character is shown the worse and less interesting it gets, which makes the main characters absolutely horrible.
Yuno : Edgy power fantasy animeboy that people write as wish-fulfillment after they were bullied with belle as a living proof that the author never met a woman in his life
Noelle : Cringe tsundere who falls for the mc because of course, with nothing to justify her MC status
Asta : Average shounen MC with a small brain and a big heart that goes through 0 development, except the catch is that he's loud .. like REALLY
Good characters like Fuegoleon barely have screentime, and those who do like Yami spend their extra time doing the one major issue no on talks about
EVERY CHARACTER HAS ONE LINE THEY SAY AS "DIALOGUE"
Luck ? "I like to fight people" Gauche ? "I want to see my sister mary" Grey ? "That's so embarassing" (the list doesn't end) everyone has one line and one joke they repeat to fill time regardless of situation cause wtf is writing ?
Most flashbacks are the same "my family no likey :("
Takes a deep breath, well that was a long rant, can't say others will be shorter
Not much to say here, a lot of places just exist for a flashback and never on the real world, and even the world itself doesn't compliment anything nor does anything compliment it, we just get a funny map after a hundred episode that's vague asf and call it a day
It's insulting, just garbage,
The biggest insult that killed the author for me, in 170 episodes he successfully avoided all meaningful ways of comparing characters in power
Mf'ers didn't miss, everything is fire and/or fits the arc, openings slap hard and endings are p good too, Not much to say really
Definitely better than some of other long shounens, but everything lacks soul, there are like 4-5 fights I can actually say were well produced while the rest pretended to be, proportions feel wrong and everything is average at best, but not bad for a weekly show (which is one hell of a low bar).
Not to repeat myself but dialogue is straight up horrid, and so is the power system so if there isn't a fight or new character 95% of the time it's boring as shit and an absolute slog to get through, and I'd be mad to say it pays off, only like two arcs in the whole show actually do.
The dungeons are rarely explored (pun intended), an overwhelming majority of flashbacks are repetitive, boring and have no reason to be there, the political side and
And I'm being generous here, I planned to drop it so many times and enjoyment : time spent ratio is nowhere close, Only the first arc/s up untill Vetto I'd consider to have a good payoff, but the things I do to cope ig.
I don't encourage any physical harm or personal threats targeted towards any individual, or any offense in general ... BUT, I had to have that there with how bad he is at doing everything and it sucks more that he lacks any self-awareness while doing it.
oh and another note I missed,
Black Clover is a show that does nothing (but openings and endings) average or above, and it's even insulting at times, with how a fetus can write better than this, if you don't like it in the first 7ish episodes just drop, it does not get better and it's not worth anyone's time.
And before you say it, if I went back in time I'd advise myself against watching this show, as what it has to offer doesn't make up to the time spent, let alone the bad experiences and insultingly bad writing and characters
