Black Clover Does NOT Suck Anymore by Gigguk

I mean, I haven't watched your video but I have read the manga from the beginning. It has always sucked. Just because it currently sucks a little less or has some parts that aren't awful doesn't negate the overall generic craptitude.
OP
OP
This is not my video. Rather this is a video of one of my favourite anime reviewers.
No, I gathered, I just meant the video you posted / provided. I find Black Clover to be as run of the mill as manga can be, with utterly boring characters. The art can be nice, though.
Yeah it's a pretty good video. I disliked the anime at first but I've been enjoying it more recently, despite the occasional production issues (man I feel bad for the staff behind it). I still wish it was seasonal and the point about it feeling like a 2003 anime in 2018 is pretty fitting considering there aren't many recent Jump series with adaptations like this that don't take seasonal breaks. Though despite that, it's managed to find an audience (surprisingly popular on Crunchyroll) and got extended so their system works.
I do still much prefer the manga and I'm glad he recommends the manga in the video (also it's cool he likes BC more than he did last year). I would definitely recommend that version to battle shonen fans.

It never sucked in the first place. I like it a lot more than My Hero. Asta & Yuno > Deku & Bakugo.
Good video, agree with most of what he says. If highly recommend the manga if you're into battle shonen.
Standard shonen, nothing offensively bad but nothing stand out either. My hero academia at least has great moments even tho it lacks an amazing arc.
one piece didn't get good until Arlong park, that was kinda deep too.
Man, is it just me or today has been about summary-less video OPs... it's really not a good look.
Not much into this program.

Quoting myself from my post on this vid on the Black Clover OT
I don't agree that OP's intro arcs aren't good. I agree that the OP anime has exactly the kind of pacing issues that makes me nope the heck out of it from minute one.
But Arlong Park happens over a hundred chapters earlier in OP than whatever is going on right now in Black Clover's manga, and fully twenty episodes of anime sooner than content this video admits hasn't even been adapted yet.
I believe everyone is willing to give their first shonen series a lot of latitude in finding its stride, so I won't hold One Piece in either media as a master of efficient storytelling or arc progression.
But I get the feeling it becomes harder and harder to grant that latitude the more shonen you get exposed to. Black Clover might power through its major developments faster than most, but even this video reminds you that it's still bog-standard shonen in every dimension and the longer I've been reading/watching the genre, the less tolerant I am of going through the motions with its more familiar story beats, characterization and moments of fan service. And this applies to everything, not just the new stuff.
I've read the manga on-and-off since release and I still find it pretty dire, the shockingly bad anime was just the turd icing on the cake.
I have to agree. It was "okay" at first. Very bland typical shonen, but it's been a fun show I'd say for the last two seasons Still the animation is pretty rough at times. But its got some catchy OPs.
Do you guys watch this in sub or dub? Watching in English made a big difference for me. Ashta is a lot more tolerable.

Indeed.
The latest manga arc had some potential, but then they fucked it up and now it's all a bunch of boring Bleach-esque fights.
I mean, it's... okay nowadays. Entirely run-of-the mill, but whatever. I wouldn't recommend it over much, but I don't hate it either. At least it's not done anything more egregious than when it just chucked in those characters from a novel or whatever with no real introduction, and it's probably at its best right now, yeah. Like... I guess I'd maybe recommend it sooner than Reborn at least (Reborn has better designs, but I'd say Black Clover is at least more competently made than that one.)
(Didn't have time to watch the video yet, sorry.)

As of episode 53, it's still trash. Can't comment on the manga. Characters are still as surface level as they could possibly be without having sentient cardboard figurines flinging spells around.
I consider Fairy Tail entertaining trash. Black Clover is just straight up trash.
interesting video, but I still don't think that's enough for me to go back to watching it
its flaws really really bother me, especially the awful anime pacing, and hearing that the animation remains inconsistent just makes things worse
I don't really do the whole manga thing so I'm going to still have to pass on Black Clover
oh also I can never get through any episode that has that dude who apparently gets a boner every time he thinks about his little sister? that's what the nosebleed means in anime traditionally, yes? like haha incest pedophilia isn't that so quirky and funny? how about fuck off

bullshit, One Piece was entertaining from the beginning
I find it pretty amusing that Gigguk chose to make this vid shortly after the anime finished the last arc that I actually liked from this series. If I was an anime-only watcher I might be temped to agree with him, but everything after the Vetto fight has been mediocre to straight up bad.
The last anime arc of Black Clover was more interesting and better to watch than the provisional license exam arc in MHA.
I like it, magic tropes are fun even if the characters are a bit one dimensional. It's nothing unique but the shounen formula is executed decent enough

agree, thought fairy tail was ok pass time shounen when i have nothing to do, black clover is just awful
To me its like Bleach without the Banging art and soundtrack.
Bleach had weak plots but was carried by its art being fucking banging and the Anime was carried by the soundtrack like a mother fucker.
Also Bleach had a few anime movies that made me tear up.
The one with the Ghost girl who thought she was a soul reaper? ANd Her fading away at the end and being erased from everyones memories by the end? that shit fucked me up.
Black Clover makes me feel nothing. And It takes way to long to get Fairy tail level trash.
I don't know how they like any of the female characters in black clover. They are some of the blandest Waifu trash I've ever seen. MHA may not do alot but None of the girls are waifu bait and behave like rational human women with some slight personality quirks. Its one of the freshest things about that Manga.
It was never bad. The anime adapted the manga poorly. The early arcs are supposed to be quick and breezy to get through and introduce you to the main characters and set the tone of the world, but it's not supposed to take so....fucking...long.
The Seabed Temple arc is the culmination of the early parts of the story, after having developed half of the Black Bulls separately we finally see them work together, and Tabata shows us how this dysfunctional family solves their issues when together--how they believe in each other and rely on one another. It's solid stuff, and it's not even the best the series has to offer, with its coolest character yet to be introduced.
