Hello anime fans
Because of my current schedule with life , as an anime lover , I recently finished seeing Black clover, and honestly? theres no regrets, whatsoever, none, this one earned its spot on my list.
Let me start from the obvious place Asta, is a boy born with ZERO magic in a world where magic is literally everything, so you think about that for a second, everyone around him has some kind of power, some kind of edge, and this guy has nothing but a loud mouth, a big heart, and a will that refuses to quit. I won't lie, in the first few episodes I was like, okay, is this going to be another one of those shows where the MC just shouts a lot and wins by plot armor?, But nah, Black Clover earns it, I mean every win Asta gets, you feel like you were in the trenches with him.
And that's really the heartbeat of this whole series , hard work over talent. In a genre where chosen one and natural prodigy storylines are everywhere, Black Clover said no, yes, let's do the opposite, we give you a guy who has to bleed for every inch of progress and thhat hit different for me, because life is like that too, no be everybody get natural advantage from birth, some of us just dey grind.
Now Yuno, Asta's rival and best friend that dynamic alone is worth the watch Itis not the toxic kind of rivalry where they hate each other, It's the kind where they push each other, where one man's success genuinely makes the other work harder instead of feeling salty. I loved that, it is rare to see healthy competition portrayed like that on screen, and honestly, more friendships in real life should look like that.
And 5he Black Bulls squad , they are chaotic, messy, full of misfits nobody wanted and somehow they became my favorite part of the whole show , because that's what found family looks like, they are not perfect people, but broken, flawed, weird people who choose each other anyway, Yami as a captain who doesn't coddle anybody but still has their back to the end? That man is built different.
See here, the show is NOT perfect, there were a lot of scenes that dragged, some fights went on longer than they needed to, and there were moments
I was just waiting for them to get to the point already, a few side characters got sidelined when they clearly deserved more screen time, I won't pretend those flaws don't exist, because they do.
But here's the thing, even with those flaws, I never once thought about dropping it, even with being busy with life itself, because plenty of shows lose me halfway through when the pacing gets shaky, but Black Clover just kept pulling me back in, episode after episode, because the emotional core never wavered, the characters always felt like they were fighting for something real, not just fighting for the sake of a cool animation sequence.
And can we talk about the magic system for a second? So creative, Grimoires, different magic attributes, the way everyone's power ties into their personality and backstory — it never felt lazy or thrown together.
At the end of the day, Black Clover reminded me why I love anime in the first place, seriously speaking, It is not always about the strongest character winning., sometimes it's about the one who refuses to give up, even when the whole world tells him he's not built for it.
170 episodes later, I'm not just satisfied i'm inspired and that's rare for a show this long to still pull off_ Solid watch...... No cap.
