Oh yeah, that reminds me. Do you think the upcoming Black Clover game Quartet Knights might be cooler than the show?

So, is Light Magic evil in this show?

Yep, I'm still here.

@X: I see.

Also, does the show have to have Asta fanboying every time Yami so much as breathes?

Oh great, now there's a Not!Japan in the mix with their fancy katanas folded a thousand times.

[up]Yes it does, it has to establish how powerful Yami is so that we'll know how powerful Asta is when he inevitably surpasses him.

@ blue: It sounds like, if anything, Light Magic is just rare by Black Clover standards.

@ Rojixus: I mean, we have characters named Yami and Yuno amongst a more European-sounding sea of names, so I'd imagine those names had to originate from somewhere.

Good, Yami! You're looking good pretty cool!

What is with some of these key frames? C'mon, BC, your decent art and animation was like the only thing you got going.

Huh somewhat nice that Licht doesn’t hold shit against Yami for the crimes of the Clover Kingdom.

I swear, this show loves to introduce characters that would make better protagonists than Asta. Barring Gauche, of course.

So if I’m getting this right we have to slog through 20 minutes of shit art & animation just for the 15 seconds of actually decent shit.

...... Well that’s just prime.

[up] Well he’s not insufferable at least, just pretty damn boring.

Why should Yuno? He's boring as hell.

Oh, I get it! He's named Yami because he uses Dark Magic! This is some next level stuff!

All jokes aside, Yami is one of those characters who deserves a better series. Or a universe without Asta and Gauche in it.

[up] I think you need someone on the main cast to come from the slums like Asta and Yuno did to highlight the class issues inherent to the setting, but not in the hamfisted way Black Clover likes to paint 95% of the nobility as colossal assholes.

Honestly, all you'd have to do (IMO) is demote Asta from main protagonist and have Noelle as the lead (or alternatively do the same but erase Asta and put Yuno in his place), and you might already have a substantially better series.

Aw man, not the "nobility are assholes" again. x_x

How else are you going to know how bad and wrong pre-Asta society is? The nobility have to all be assholes so that they can act as a single identifiable target for Asta to purge when he becomes the Grand Wizard and leads the world into a new golden age.

Instead of watching Black Clover, I highly suggest thinking about Hellshake Yano instead.

I'm fine with them not being the protagonist. Mainly because 1) being an entertaining support character doesn't automatically mean one would make a good protagonist and 2) given how well he handles characters when they are sharing the main character spotlight, often drops the ball anyway. I figure it would end up ruining the characters.
