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!

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.
