  1. But what was the point of making her fat? And why did her personality do a 180 with no explanation? She's annoying and acts annoying. And remember how she reacted to Deku not having powers or whatever? Ryuko and Satsuki had a better mother LOL. Orihime can heal everyone and she was used less than ideally at times. Remember how she was going to reject the Hoyoku from existence? Oh and Sakura the invaluable medical ninja. So... not revealed in the main story. That's how important it is and how much we can expect it to feature in the show. They didn't go far in the tournament at all. Invisibility should make that girl one of the most formidable heroes in the series. May I will give you. She did great, but for some reason chose to eliminate herself. Guess she figured she had made enough of a splash already. The jokes don't land flat for me. Humor is subjective. Hmm these arcs have been downright brisk compared to other shonens. Would any other series have dispensed with Licht that quickly? Most of those are meant to be jokes. The siscon thing is a joke/parody, though still creepy. I was hoping he'd move past that schthick after he got some development in the last arc. It's too bad he went back to it, mistake by the mangaka there. Though, I never would have made him that creepy to begin with. Which, by the way, Gauche, no longer one-dimensional. Basically none of the Black Bulls have been one-dimensional since they got developed and/or we learned their backstories etc. And we just learned the flirty drunk woman is a very competent mage when not nearly drunk to death all the time. Asta can be corny, but no cornier than Luffy, Goku, Deku, or tons of other shonen protagonists, and everyone loves them. Most of the fight scenes have been great, though Yami's are some of the best, I'll agree with you there. Well Deku was supposed to be powerless and use gadgets and cunning like Batman or Ironman, but the meddling editors at Jump fucked that up. It's not, though. Are you still watching it? I've yet to see many other shonens pull things off and handle things the way this series has. Beat the main boss first, who is weaker than three of his own henchmen?? Actual combo and team moves?? Women that don't suck?? How often do we get to see that? They are indeed good characers, some of them (there's plenty annoying as fuck ones like Mineta), but My Hero Academia not free from the shonen trappings, as we can see many of the tropes still in play and not the least bit subverted, not that they have to be, but it's worth some points at this point to see something done differently, and the women are still on the backburner (in the kitchen, lul.) Not saying that MHA is a bad show. Far from. But Black Clover isn't a bad show, either. It's underrated and over-heated, and excelling in areas MHA is not, and it's been a pleasant and entertaining surprise for me. I'm sorry you can't see it, or don't want to see it.
  2. Says the guy who claimed Gundam Unicorn was "fantastic" and that Audrey was a "fascinating" character. Lolololol. It was mentioned, but Yami, Noelle, some of the nobles have even shown to be more than one-dimensional cartoonish assholes. Solid wants to avenge Fuegolian. Before he just seemed like a snobby asshole. You say this... as a fan of One Piece. You're going to tell me the running gags their never get old? How about the time Oda actually had the chance to develop Sanji's personality and character, but instead had him lose the fight to bubble girl because he wouldn't hit a girl. How about how he and Zoro are STILL being douches to each other even after all this time? Or the panties and fart jokes with the skeleton guy... Talk about brilliant comedy that never gets old and not the least bit one-note. Sanji's whole personality is basically "FUCK WOMEN, DON'T WASTE FOOD!" And if you like Attack on Titan, those characters are all thin and one-dimensional as well. You're also forgetting the fact that it's almost certain that Black Clover is semi-parody. This means that you can still have serious moments, good character moments, but a good chunk of the show is parody and not meant to be taken serious. Hell, there was a whole episode where Yami made fun of all the Captains looks and their personalities and quirks, etc. These characters were deliberately designed and created, knowing they looked and acted silly and over-the-top, for Yami, a character the mangaka also created, in part, to make fun of. And I mean, this same thing goes in One Piece, too, people making fun of goofy looking and acting characters. Yami will sit there and make 4th wall breaking jokes all day, and they're hilarious. Then there's Asta. He screams all the time, has no magic, so had to train his body physically way more than anyone else to match up, he wants to be the wizard king, and he wants to try to marry a fucking nun of all people. Then he has multiple women with crushes around him that he is either oblivious to or not acknowledging. I think he at least must have a clue about Noelle. But, are you really going to tell me a character like this is meant to be taken 100% seriously? That is the most cartoonish shonen cliche of a main character I could ever think of. HE WANTS TO MARRY A NUN. And think back to Sanji... the jokes with him have wore thin as it is, but then when they start to affect serious character moments, and the plot... it's about as welcome as the out of place shitty art shifting comedy in FMA Brotherhood. Charmy fell in love with Yuno after HE SAVED HER FOOD FROM FALLING. Come the fuck on. No way that is meant to be serious. So yeah you either got a stick up yer ass, or you're clearly unable to perceive that Black Clover is a brilliant parody of the shonen genre, just like "Hunter x Hunter is a brilliant subversion of the shonen genre." =3
  3. And what have they done again? Besides provide fap fodder? Mt. Lady was going to be the female lead, but was changed to Uraraka for some stupid reason I can't remember. Something about the limitations of her power. Imagine not being creative enough to figure out how to use Ant-man/Giant-man as a main character.
  4. Black Clover Page 48 Discussion Last time on Black Clover, despite Noelle's heavy damage inflicted upon Vetto, he was somehow able to recover though some unnatural means, mythical beast or demon power, he regenerated his injury, grew a third eye, and became even more powerful. Asta is back in the fight after being healed a little by Kahono, who is barely alive herself. Finraal and Vanessa have jumped in and are helping Asta to engage Vetto, combining their powers for some ingenious team attacks. Noelle is attempting to look after the rest of the injured. Will this team finally be enough to defeat Vetto?!
  5. It's why I never listen to what reviews or other viewers say, and form my own opinions based on my own experiences and how I receive something. I don't let myself have any expectations. Indeed. I greatly prefer it over Hiatus as well. The world actually makes sense in Black Clover, and the characters aren't all semi-sociopathic unlikable scumbags.
  6. I really love Black Clover now. It's probably one of my favorite anime series. I don't know why people talked so much shit about it. Besides the obvious semi-parody aspects, the characters and storyline have really been great, and only improving as the story goes on. It was recently revealed that Noelle isn't bad at aiming, she simply subconsciously doesn't want to hurt people. She can aim just fine and is very powerful, and took out the arm and torso of a villain in one shot that the entire cast couldn't lay a scratch on. Vanessa is a very competent mage with useful ability, thread magic, that can be used to aid others in addition to fighting on her own, for great combo attacks. ALSO COMBO AND TEAM ATTACKS. YOU NEVER SEE THAT ENOUGH IN SHONEN! Gray turned out to be a shy, timid girl all along, and with different ways of using her transformation magic, even on other objects besides herself, and was instrumental in helping Gauche defeat the Eye of the Midnight Sun member he came across. Charmy showed an unexpected badass side which I can't wait to see more of. Right now, the Black Bulls and the Magic Knights have already defeated the leader, main villain, essentially, of the series, or at least current arc, and he's laid up in a magic bacta tank. Not only did they fight the big bad first, but he is weaker, and now they're fighting Vetto, his henchmen. With the voice of Fat Cat, troll powers of Aizen, and character design of a He-man villain, he is truly a worthy opponent! You'd never see this happen in One Piece, maybe Naruto or Bleach at times, had strong villains besides the main enemy, but they usually weren't fought after the main boss. Imagine if the Arrancar Arc ended with Aizen already beaten and the Soul Society having to take out Yammy's straggling troll-ass. Would Luffy ever fight the main boss, beat him, then take on a henchman? Would someone BESIDES Luffy ever land a crippling blow, much less defeat him? Nope. At least things changed up with the last 3 arcs on the bubble island, prison, and navy HQ, but still... we'll see if this continues or it goes back to comfort zone after the time skip. I still haven't gotten around to watching that far. The women in My Hero Academia have been irrelevant and weak, and done fuck all to contribute to the plot. Deku's mother's character design and personality did a 180, during the time skip from the childhood flashbacks, with no explanation, and is now an annoying obese joke character and second worst character in the series behind Mineta, who is completely pointless himself and only exists to annoy. Numo is stronger than Evil Idle Hands L, but Handsy L still isn't beaten. The art, animation, and production values, music, and comedy have all been top notch as well. For me, Black Clover is up there with Robotech/Macross, Dragon Ball, Bleach, Fairy Tail, SAO, Monster, Moribito, Kekkaishi, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist 03 and B, Ghost in the Shell, The Big O, Rave Master, as one of my favorite manga/anime series. I really hope Toonami renews it and continues it for the rest of its run. If they don't, I'll watch on FuniNow and then start reading the manga.
  7. Puar is male. My mind has been broken.
  8. LOL. And Bulma looks so weird in orange. Man. What is it that is so cute about the kicked in heels on girls?
  9. Don't tell him about the other porn you draw.
  10. No, it has been built up the whole show.
  11. Dude Ganondorf never trolled THIS much.
  12. It's doing a better job than Shonen Saint My Hero Academia...
  13. Probably a lab. Kid Vegeta is seen training against Saibamen on Planet Vegeta in the Bardock special. And I mean, if they were already defeated by Earthlings in the fight against the Saiyans, no sense in the Frieza Army using them later. If they were a Saiyan thing specifically, well it makes sense why they were never used again either.
  14. https://www.redthreadgames.com/ https://www.redthreadgames.com/dreamfall-chapters https://www.redthreadgames.com/backers/ https://twitter.com/redthreadgames https://twitter.com/ragso https://twitter.com/DFChapters https://www.youtube.com/user/RedThreadGaming https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redthread/dreamfall-chapters-the-longest-journey/posts/2287511 https://forum.redthreadgames.com/forum/topic/5103-kickstarter-update-115/ Left this post on their forum. Still considering other ways I might get ahold of them that might actually get a response - I still have not gotten my boxed Journeyman Edition, despite Red Thread's claim in this Kickstarter update that they got them out to almost all of their $110 tier backers. In fact, I didn't donate to that tier, but the $125 tier, and it's not mentioned anywhere in the update, and when I went to look at the Kickstarter page recently, it was conspicuously absent. I wasn't then nor now made of money, so I wouldn't have donated $125 over $110 if there weren't some considerable greater reward for doing so. I sent them this email at the contact information they listed, and have heard nothing back (left off my address in this post) - I have been very patient and understanding with the setbacks and other unforeseen mishaps that have gone on behind the scenes, but it's getting to the point where I'm wondering if I'm going to be getting my physical game copy. Unless they think I donated to the $200 tier, since I got the update about the Wonkers USB key. But, being the honest person I am, I didn't feel right just sitting back and getting something I wasn't entitled to nor paid for, especially when it might mean someone else didn't get the stuff they paid for. Of course, if I sat back and said nothing, I could also still just never get anything. I have no proof of this theory, just a guess, since I got that email about the Wonkers thing. I also see that they seem to have removed the forum link from their website, and in previous threads I read they said that Ragnar ignores anyone who asks about Dreamfall Chapters rewards on Twitter. It does not inspire confidence, to say the least. At least the game is good? Or so I hear? I still haven't been able to play it. My computer turned out to be too under-powered to handle it. It can't even get through the opening cutscene without constant unwatchable buffering. I can't imagine what the actual game would be like. And in any case, this game series is story driven. I'm not going to play a TLJ/Dreamfall game without cinematics. I, of course, have not had the money to buy a new computer, and every time I try to buy a PS4, either some financial setback happens, or we have to pay for something essential, or some other BS happens. It's really quite frustrating. I fell in love with this series and the genre of Adventure games late in the game, when I happened upon a copy of Dreamfall for Xbox on the shelves at Game Crazy. After that I got the set with TLJ and Dreamfall for PC. Love both of those games. Also got a game called Syberia II for Xbox which was quite fun. I had dreamed of years for a sequel to Dreamfall, that cliffhanger had me really wanting to see what would happen next, how things would turn out. So it saddens me that I'm not only unable to play Dreamfall Chapters after all this time, but the developers who I thought cared about their fans and about this game series, don't seem too keen on honoring their word and giving us what was promised. I didn't donate to this Kickstarter lightly. As I said, I'm fairly poor. Games are an expensive hobby and I have to pick what I want to play and what systems very carefully and deliberately, much of which I buy used these days. My last console purchase was a Wii U. I do sincerely hope this is just some sort of miscommunication or misunderstanding and that that email is bad or something, and not that Red Thread is simply blowing off fans and hoping no one notices or cares because of the relatively small fanbase for TLJ/Dreamfall and Adventure games overall. Either way, I hope there is a good explanation for this. Thanks for your time and I hope we can get to the bottom of this and get me and possibly others their game boxes and possible other physical rewards.
  15. I see... Could they have not... researched it better? Did companies just not communicate back in those days? Yes but... Puar is a cat. You really think being around a female cat creature is the same as human women or other humanoid race women in the world of Dragon Ball? Come on.
  16. I just don't want Toonami to to be catastrophically bifurcated again. We can't allow such careless mistakes to be repeated.
  17. http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Puar WHAT THE FUCK?! Still, female according to Ocean and Funimation. Not my fault! And can you blame me? But, I would just have never seen Puar as a boy at all. By the way, why is it a big deal that Tien and Chaotzu could fly if Puar could? And why did no one ask Puar how... *ahem* he flies? Is it done using magic unique to Puar that can't be taught?? But, Puar is still a cat. Advocating beastiality now, Mochi?
  18. After all the shit people talked about this show it's great to see it escape the shonen trappings in multiple ways and blow Naruto out of the water, among other series. Intentional semi-parody or not, this show is great in its own right.
  19. Vetto's trollface is off the charts. Hope he FINALLY gets his ass kicked next week.
  20. PLEASE do something about that trollfucker. Finaal can actually fight and use his powers in useful ways? Nice, using threads to alter Asta's movements. Love these combo and team attacks. Need more of this in shonen, and anime, period. Get tired of 1 v 1s.
  21. Vanessa is actually a competent mage she she's not constantly nearly drunk to death.
  22. "What fun would it be if you stayed tied up." Yes you are a fucking coward, you piece of shit. What else can't Vetto troll-shrug off? Just a hug??
  23. Warping guy is a confirmed piece of shit. Stood there this whole time and even thought of leaving.
