[up][up] It is majorly fucked up. I actually feel bad for Asta here.

Also shit I never understood why Yuno is so cold here. Its so unnecessary.

[up] Wait for it.

Black Clover is kinda like the anti-My Hero Academia. Whereas the latter breathes new life into tried and true tropes we're used to seeing in Shonen, the former just plays them painfully straight with no sense of irony or innovation.

Its kind of interesting that despite that, they're two of Shonen Jump's most popular series` after One Piece.

[up][up] Well there always have to be that generic series of familiarity for everyone to latch onto. It makes sense by that logic especially since Naruto ended.

Also these cg chains look weird.

And yea Rynecc I feel you, I really wish we got Kenkai Sensen too. That would have been a really great show to have on here.

[up][up] Well it is, we won't hold it against you. tongue

[up] God I hope we get that show eventually.

Okay now we get some introspection sorta.

And see Yuno does care.

Just dawned on me now, but this kid is Rock Lee with the backstory, personality, and motivation of Naruto. Egad.

Again see Yuno does care so I don't understand why he was such a douche to him earlier.

Not terrible, but I can certainly see why it's derided as generic and formulaic.

I dunno. I think that the strongest reaction I had in the whole episode was getting angry at the bad guy for hurting Asta so much. Literally kicking him when he's down.

It kind of reminds me of Blue Exorcist. Are we ever getting its Kyoto Arc?

The visuals are nice. That bad guy looks like someone out of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which is weirdly recursive for an anime.

Having jumped ship halfway through the first episode of the Japanese version. Eh, not bad I guess. I've seen worse.

[up][up] It be interesting if we ever get that show.

Also yes there are dark implications to Asta's grimoire but slight spoilers its been over a hundred chapters & its not really been touched upon much except for one moment.

[up] Hey at least its bearable. We actually got a competent voice director here.

Well, I don't hate Black Clover, so that already puts it ahead of some other shows that ended up on Toonami somehow.
