Black Clover

Asta and Yuno were abandoned at the same church on the same day. Raised together as children, they came to know of the "Wizard King"—a title given to the strongest mage in the kingdom—and promised that they would compete against each other for the position of the next Wizard King. However, as they grew up, the stark difference between them became evident. While Yuno is able to wield magic with amazing power and control, Asta cannot use magic at all and desperately tries to awaken his powers by training physically.

When they reach the age of 15, Yuno is bestowed a spectacular Grimoire with a four-leaf clover, while Asta receives nothing. However, soon after, Yuno is attacked by a person named Revchi, whose main purpose is to obtain Yuno's Grimoire. Asta tries to fight Revchi, but he is outmatched. Though without hope and on the brink of defeat, he finds the strength to continue when he hears Yuno's voice. Unleashing his inner emotions in a rage, Asta receives a five-leaf clover Grimoire, a "Black Clover" giving him enough power to defeat Revchi. A few days later, the two friends head out into the world, both seeking the same goal—to become the Wizard King!

A fantastic shonen new gen and one of the best - obviously there are glaring issues with the animation and production issues but other than that I absolutely love this anime - I haven’t watched anime this long that has as many memorable charachters in a very long time - all the difference clans are so unique and diverse - the black bulls being a bunch of outcasts that grow as close as a real family is so worth it - the charachter development is outstanding and you really start to connect with each and every character as it continues - the story also gradually ... gets better and it has now been a very long time since anticipating a continuation - another positive is the soundtracks eg op/eds - absolute top class and some of the best music from an anime

Mixed Feelings

Black Clover is not a very unique anime. Even though the power system is good, you can compare some parts to other anime, such as Bleach or Hunter x Hunter. I really liked the first couple of episodes, a few in the middle, and the last arc, but the rest felt kind of basic. I can see why some people like the parts I thought were basic, especially younger people, but I still think there are better anime for them. Sometimes there were too many fights in a short period, making it repetitive. Overall, it's a good anime, and I'm excited for the next season ... in 2026.

Black Clover is the most over rated new gen anime. Idk how people say it's the best new gen. You have to be joking.

Black clover is the reheated nachos of One piece, Naruto and Bleach. Except it has nothing to offer. Those 3 animes have something in them that makes them special. They mashed up these 3 and expected people to like it. It's one of the worst new gen anime oat.

Aside from that Asta is the most annoying MC I have seen in a while. His voice is just so annoying to hear. The side characters are more interesting than the main character. ... It's lack luster. We have grown out from this trope a character trying to be "Wizard King". It has been done so many times. The new gens line JJK, DS etc have something special to offer. Don't even bother watching it. Your ears will bleed from Astas voice. You can not handle that voice for 100 plus episodes.
