Black Clover Manga Thread

Highly likely not even shocked.

Yup, just send Rades in to earn his pardon and be like, "OK, here's Julius back, enjoy your anticlimax!"

I think Rades can only do that with the recently dead.

How "recently" though? Julius only died a few hours back at most.

New chapter.

Elf Langris continues to be actually less bad than human Langris and the muscleless Kenpachi does a thing.

<Shrugs>

Still a lot of nothing really.

But why bother to save that idiot of the king? Let it die, so nobody will cry.

I do not think Rades can bring Julius back to life honestly.

Rather glad were on the final battle.

This arc has been pretty damn long & I'm kinda tired of it.

Doesn't help that the elves aren't very fun antagonists so they made it feel more of a slog than it had to be.

...

Hope something interesting happens soon.

Oh, new chapter by the way.

Yeah, I'm a bit more forgiving of BC's flaws than some others here and even I actually yawned while reading this chapter. All it really did was remind us that the nobles are assholes.

...and the elves hate humans.

So far the only person who died who didn't really deserve it was the Magic Emperor.

Even Patry acknowledged he was a good person, but his general grudge against both royals and humans was far bigger.

Just read volume 14, which was pretty good. On one hand, the action is really well-paced, the teamwork effective and seeing Noelle wipe the floor with her brother just felt good. Tons of badass pages too. And I really like Zora's character.

On the other hand… I'm not sure why but I have a feeling that most nobles in this series aren't very good people… There are subtle hints here and there…

Speaking of which, does Langris die a slow and painful death later in the series?

Subtle being a giant hammer smashing into our brains?

Nope.

Hell Asta actually compliments the biogted prick & Finral wants to save him even after what he did to him.

Also Crunchyroll wrote another BC shill article.

Man do they really want to get their money's worth on this show.

I still cant blame them. You think a show will do well and what you get is the opposite of what you expected.

Then again the anime somehow has gained something of a devoted fanbase so its kinda unnecessary at this point.

Plus that title is purposely designed to provoke people. Could have just said "Why I think its a great shonen" but nope, ya gotta get those clicks.

I don't know how it got a fanbase considering it has all of the manga's flaws plus bad animation and abysmal pacing.

This whole "nobody should like Black Clover" line of reasoning can really get to be a bit much.

I think Black Clover the manga gets more shit than it deserves, but I honestly can't see anything redeeming in the anime.

It's just a really bad adaptation, I feel.

Its not that nobody should like BC, they can but its like I can't help but be a bit baffled by the people who are apparently very deeply touched by the anime.

Makes me wonder if we were watching the same show.

Like uh if you scroll down to the article's comments there's this scary one of a person recounting how they turned their entire anime club into BC fanatics, & how BC is one of the few shows to deeply strike a chord with them.

Its why all the people justifing its badness with only "it gets better" annoys me because you shouldn't take 50 episodes just to get decent.

Its a story that would actually benefit from more filler because it doesn't do enough for us to believe a lot goes on in the background from the main characters.

The novel was particularly bad about that because they just show up and we're expected to know about these three new guys.

The really annoying thing about the anime is that an MHA or AOT style adaptation would have done wonders for it, but they decided to handle it like Bleach and One Piece which nowadays is outdated. Hell it's probably worse than those considering they padded it out from the get go.

Well, Noelle is stepping up.

Always good when Asta isn't around to be Asta.

Still, the Elves are so one note...and so are the royals with a few exceptions.

The “highly praised Black Clover anime” & the game has “super gorgeous graphics”...........

Jesus fucking Christ what a bunch of compulsive liars.

And her brother & sister aren’t dead....... man that’s sad.

The Elves have the excuse of being little more than angry revenants. Their last thoughts in life were of pain and betrayal. Of course they're going to be entirely focused on getting payback.

As for the nobles and royals being one-note assholes...that's pretty common in Anime and Manga.
