"They don't see how powerful I am. They are guilty!"

That is... the most non-motivation for a villain I've ever heard.

@slimcoder

You have such a strong idea of how to improve the show's dialogue!

Exactly what I'd expect from my rival!

I'm not asking for complex dialogue or characterization, but these characters are so unacceptably one-note you'd think this was an Abridge....... no an Abridge would do better because they'd actually try with their jokes.

Its like the people writing this are deliberately not even trying.

Oh c'mon a recap literally after a commercial break, really? [tdown]

Why can't one of the fire mages just light this villain on fire? It'll be a one-hit kill, seeing as he's made of straw like every other villain in this show.

Because Asta has to beat him! No one else is worthy of defeating evil, only Asta! He alone can wield anti-magic and that's what makes him superior to those backward magic-users who are dependent on magic instead of good hard work like Asta is. But that hard work only works when it's Asta, so don't get any funny ideas about other characters surpassing him.

Wait, that's supposed to be blood on Asta's cheek?

This animation is so slow and stilted.

And is that zombie called Jimmy? What kind of name is that?![lol]

Wow did they expend all the budget on those magic spells at the start of the episode?

They didn't even look that expensive to begin with.

Is there a point to any of this besides having Asta wave his big sword around?

@ slim: Isn't one of the prevalent fan theories that everything's so rushed and most characters are so painfully flat/clichéd so that the mangaka can just skip straight to the fight scenes (which are apparently the best part of Black Clover)?

MAKA CHOP!

[up][up] The sad thing is were actually at a fight scene.

And its just as lazy & terrible as the plot & characters.

So that's not even a good excuse.

I've heard that the author had a previous series that got cancelled early, so some people think he's compensating by making something really generic and safe.

And he said it. x_x

Janky-ass spinning animation + the magic words from Asta = orz
