I find some small solace in the fact that just about everyone else in this show thinks Asta is annoying as hell.

[up][up][up] I'll second that notion.

What's this? That girl doesn't like Asta? Either she's trying to pretend not to be attracted to him or she's a villain...who's pretending not to be attracted to him.

Okay, so I'm not sold on this whole "I'm gonna be the Wizard Hokage of Pokemon Master Pirates" thing. He has no magic, but he has a sword, and he can do cool stuff with it. Do something else with your life.

You don't see Batman going, "I'm gonna be Superman's successor!" Because Batman's talents are not suited to that role. He's still awesome, because he's the goddamn Batman.

I know shounen has this obsession with "prove everybody wrong" and "do the impossible and follow your dreams," but isn't it MORE inspiring when a character without magic can hold his own against mages WITHOUT trying to be one of them?

She actually kinda is interesting, relatively for this series.

She doesn't get Sakura-ed TOO much either for the most part either.

[up] That's TOO intelligent for this series. It really is too much to expect here but Goddamn are you right on the money. [tup]

Gee, I wonder what archetype is our new female character here.

I'm gonna call her "The Satsuki Kiryuin" for now.

I honestly can't help but get the feeling that when this show completes its run on Toonami, I'm probably going to rapidly switch between smiling and frowning, like The Nostalgia Critic did in one of his reviews.

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

[up][up][up][up][up][up] I highly doubt she'll be anywhere near as cool as Satsuki.

So...how long before she defrosts and starts falling for Asta.

@ Lennik: It's a valid message, but not one everyone wants to hear, and a series as formulaic as Black Clover surely isn't going to preach it.

@ slim: I think Batman's cool, too, but people saying the opposite is a not unpopular opinion either. It's all subjective. (shrugs)

@ Moth: "When Doves Cry" would make for a pretty awesome-sounding Stand name IMO.

@Prime Next episode Asta rescues her & that's when she starts falling for him.

So wait next week for that to happen cause its literally the next episode.

[up] Ya got a point there.
