@ slim: In Kishimoto's defense, he did drop clues that the Uchiha clan was going to be a big deal in the long run, but I will agree that the overall execution left something to be desired.
@ Beary: He's also Neji. And Hitsugaya. And Banagher. (Among others.)
Maybe it's just because I'm fairly decent at picking out voice actors I'm familiar with, but the dude's got a pretty distinctive voice.
"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStar@ slim: Well, mostly the Sauce, considering the other "main" Uchihas are death by the end, but his writing didn't do any favors to the others, I'll give you that. (It doesn't help that Kishi slapped a Hereditary Curse on the entire clan to explain why so many go off the deep end. That being said, the real Madara was never particularly sympathetic in my eyes, even if one argued that Tobirama's pragmatism in regards to everything—the Uchiha clan included—had its faults).
As much as I'd like to stick around for the end of Radical Edward's grand debut and GitS, I'd best follow Beary's example and call it a night.
"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarI'm going to turn in for the night as well. Good night, friends!

Shit were gonna be stuck with a mediocre show for 51 weeks.
At least SAO was only around for 24.
We really have to wait for DBZ Kai or Hunter x Hunter to end before we put on anymore long-runners.
Though its nice the time-slot is extending.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."As someone who's only hearing if Black Clover for the first time now, what are the issues with it?
PSN ID: FateSeraph | Switch friendcode: SW-0145-8835-0610 Congratulations! She/TheyIts a very, very mediocre shonen that rips off from everything under the sun but doesn't do anything interesting with them creating a rather average experience.
While the anime has slow pacing & the Japanese VA for the MC constantly screams in a way that will make your eyes bleed & cry out for the sweet release of death.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."From what I've seen and heard, Black Clover is literally just popular elements from other shonen thrown into one series. The whole thing is quite formulaic. Asta's gargle screams in the anime are the only noteworthy thing about it.
And now it's getting a Toonami slot? God damn is it getting pushed now.

From what I've seen, it seems like the show has gotten more free advertising from people complaining about it than anything else.
This song needs more love.

Hence the words "was pretty consistent overall despite a few bumps."
I'll agree the first few arcs were by no means perfect (the pacing was definitely... off), but the complaints about Shippuden tend to be aimed at its back end more often than its beginning since the (admittedly foregone) Myth Arc hadn't overtaken nearly everything yet.
