Seizure warning... for what?

Wow that's a fucking annoying commercial for TikTok.

Yelabitch hahaha. I would think she would keep up the act even in front of the students than expect them to cooperate and keep her secret. Very odd.

LOL no one like her would be into you. Sensei-o-vision lmao. Ah it's an act. Makes sense. Revealed it so fast though. Seems like we got one who takes after Fujiko with these tactics.

Irina? Talk about knockout. You mean knockers. Baahahahaa. Weak point #5: boobs. LOL those eyes and gelatinous arms lmao.

So that's his "disguise?" Yeah this show definitely isn't totally serious. Wow accosted by perverts! But Koro-Sensei rescued her!

Reminds me of The Last Jedi scene heh.

Is this from an earlier anime version? I don't know what all JoJo animes got made in the past.

Chariot Requiem? And the Boss switched with Bucaratti? Does this mean the Boss is dead or stuck in limbo? Yeah I still got nothing. Polnareff didn't explain things very well. Maybe things will be be more clear next week.

The arrow... can do what and did what? I'm so confused. This isn't saying the bosses weakness, it's just saying to use the arrow to beat him.

Polnareff is the turtle hahaha. But the turtle is probably dead now thanks to this? The arrow caused this? The Stand taking the arrow caused this?? Chariot gone rogue? But this was not one of its powers was it?

I promise I wasn't trying to cop a feel lmao. Mista is a smelly gross bastard apparently haha. I love hearing the characters/VAs speaking and acting as the people who switched into bodies. Nice range and a lot of fun.

I accidentally took the meds I'm supposed to take when I go to sleep when I woke up today. One of them doubles as a sleep aid, so made drowsy as hell. After hours nurse line for my clinic said I should be OK and to just not take them again tonight. Hopefully I'll be able to make it through the whole block. I took a nap or tried to. Also the schedule on the Adult Swim site was wrong. Made me think I missed JoJo and Assassination Classroom. Very odd. The block most definitely did not move up an hour!

New OP, or new version?

Some body swap shenanigans? Grew chesticles and lost dingaling lmao.

What the heck. This silver man grabbed the arrow and put the Boss, and everyone else to sleep, too?

I would put it more as an affectionate semi-parody/best-of other shonen than "soulless amalgamation." Black Clover definitely has soul and charm. I see things that remind me of things in other shows and I usually like it, because of the parody comedic twist, and/or actually improving on its inspiration. Plus the nostalgic aspect. For one thing, Asta and Yuno are actually convincing and enjoyable as a pair of best friends/brothers/rivals, unlike Naruto and Sasuke. The women in this show aren't incompetent or weak, like most of the women in Naruto. As for MHA, it had a stronger start than Black Clover, but it has disappointed me in some ways over time. The women have barely done anything in the series and many of the side characters seem pointless. Deku and Bakugo's development has been done well but it really seems like the author can't multitask and shouldn't have created all those side characters. Black Clover has done a good job developing the main cast as well as side characters, and the women in the show actually have screen time and battles and do things, and have a role in the plot. But yes it has improved quite a bit, as in how I've relayed in the thread, and anyone else who has been watching the show could tell you.

It seems like some people never gave the show a chance and had their minds made up before they even watched it. Then if they do actually watch a good chunk of Black Clover they don't seem to want to give it the credit it deserves. Not to mention how people always like to jump on a bandwagon and dogpile on a popular target of hate. Comes off as tryhard to me at times. Also some of these people seem way too jaded.

I thought you were going to compare to her Cana from Fairy Tail. Vanessa is a better done character than Cana, though. Vanessa's arc where she got the cat and told the witch bitch queen to fuck off was great! Though this all makes me wonder if women get "beer boobs" instead of the beer bellies men get! Edit - Also, Rangiku's hair is strawberry blonde, or light red.

You're really going to act like Seven Deadly Sins invented the dark side/demon side/monster inside concept?

I actually prefer Rave Master to Fairy Tail. It got really great past the anime cut off and had a great ending. I love Fairy Tail too but not as much as Rave Master.

Has it really been 3 years? I remember the reception the series initially had and the reaction to the Toonami acquisition. And I was ready to sit there and make fun of the show with everyone else. And I gotta say, Asta proclaiming his magic is never giving up was about one of the most corny and cheesiest things I have ever heard! But the first episode wasn't that bad! And I gotta say Black Clover only got better as it went on! And I warmed up to it more and more as it went on and now it's one of the shows I look forward to the most every week! We just had a wrap-up to that huge arc dealing with the elves and I'd say it was pretty satisfying after all was said and done. And I really like the progression and growth of the various characters. Noelle's arc has been especially satisfying to watch. I like how Asta and Yuno come off as believable and genuine best friends and brothers, unlike Naruto and Sasuke. There's also the thing that some people seem to miss, this show is a sort of semi-parody of the shonen genre and anime in general. So all those over-the-top gimmicks the characters have? It's intentional. Asta is the epitome of the happy go lucky determined protagonist with a handicap. He had no magic so he literally had to constantly work out and train physically to get strong. I do like that he is apparently not as oblivious as some other protagonists, as he recently seemed somewhat aware of Noelle's feelings for him, whereas Yami was totally clueless about Charlotte. Noelle is more ridiculous than any tsundere I've ever come across. She has arguments with herself inside her own head and even got jealous of a little girl spending time with Asta. But I think it's hilarious and adorable. And again, I've really enjoyed her growth and development over the course of the series. When she whipped Solid's ass it was so satisfying. Grey is the most exaggerated and over the top shy and embarrassed anime girl ever, which is just hilarious to me. If Grey doesn't prove the parody concept, I don't know what would. Yami. He gives no fucks and does he what he wants. Moreover, he makes fun of literally everyone and everything in the show, almost to a fourth wall level. There was one episode where the captains met and Yami sat there and basically made fun of everyone the whole time. Then he flat out asked Vangeance if he uses Light Magic. You'd never see that in other shows. Yami definitely proves the parody concept. As well, I think the anti-racist, anti-classist, general anti-discrimination message Black Clover puts forward, as well as how the women are handled in the series, is commendable.

I don't know what is wrong with these people. They must not have female cousins or sisters to have this fetish. Or if they do, they are even sicker fucks than I thought. Maybe it has something to do with living on an island. They are stuck on an island so they have no choice but to fuck their sisters, by their logic? I have noticed incest seems really popular in both Japan and Britain, both island nations. Or maybe their repressive cultures leads to more depraved perversions. Who knows.

Yami is pretty great, yeah. And I like his almost 4th wall level mockery of everyone and everything in the show. I was gonna say, there are a lot of fire users in this series for you to lust after. You know you want Mereoleona to grab you by the head with one of her fire paws and throw you around. 😧 Gauche, like many of the other characters, is meant to be an over-the-top turned up to 11 parody of his character type. Unfortunately, that results with a really gross and creepy pedo incest character, in this case. Though I don't know if we're meant to sympathize with or root for him. He may be on the side of the good guys but that doesn't mean he is a good person. The other Black Bulls have voiced on multiple occasions how they don't like his behavior. I had hoped Gauche would act more normal after his arc where we got his backstory, but alas... Hey now, Black Clover is actually better than Naruto, if you think about it. Asta and Yuno are actually believable and convincing as genuine best friends, and rivals, and this is pulled off in just a handful of episodes, when Naruto can't do this for its entire run. Naruto and Sasuke's relationship consists of them being little shits to each other and Sasuke being an asshole the whole time, 3 whole "friendship moments" the show constantly flashes back to and the characters constantly saying they are best friends. So it makes Naruto come off as either crazy or gay when he loses his shit over Sasuke leaving when their relationship was more like a coworker he was casually friendly with. And Sasuke isn't sympathetic at all as someone you want Naruto "save from himself," much less make that plot point go on for so long or be one of the end goals of the series.

I agree with the whacked out placements of those rankings others mentioned. No Mereoleona, and why the fuck did so many people vote for Gauche? I like the look of the U.S. rankings much better, haha.
