ben0119 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the hell did it somehow become one of Toonami's better shows? https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/black-clover/episode-47/.136046 Rating: "B+". Yami's lack of participation does somehow make the intense stakes of this showdown seem somewhat lessened, but it's not like we haven't seen such things from the likes of Dragon Ball Super!

It's not quite as awesome as AOT, but they still have some CMOAs, like Vanessa's before the break. It's doing a better job than Shonen Saint My Hero Academia...

What's more, Naruto and Sasuke's relationship doesn't even come off like Kishimoto wants it to. They are supposed to be BEST FRIENDS, and the show and characters tell us this several times, but there's like a whole three actual friendship moments, and their relationship comes off more like co-workers who were on friendly terms, and Naruto loses his shit because Sasuke gets a job somewhere else. It would actually make more sense if they were gay. Also the fact that Sasuke was an asshole and they were mostly just little shits to each other, it doesn't make me sympathize with Sasuke, much less Naruto and Sakura wanting to "save" him. Sasuke has done more than enough that should have gotten him hunted down and killed or captured a long time ago. So, we're supposed to agree with Naruto and Sakura, and think eveyone else is wrong, but it comes off the opposite and Naruto and Sakura come off as crazy and delusional. And the whole Itachi retcon thing was a just a joke. Now, there have still been good arcs like the stuff you mentioned, but the backbone of the show being RESCUE SASUKE, is just... it's bad. Finally, upon re-watching "the good part", Part 1, it's not even as good as I remember. I can actually get behind Asta and his goals. Within the first few episodes, Asta and Yuno was already a better friendship than Naruto and Sasuke. Yuno is actually likable and not an asshole. The women being able to actually do things is certainly a plus. I have enjoyed the storylines and how they have gone outside of the usual formula, with Vetto, a henchman, stronger than Licht, and Licht defeated first, plus all the team and combo attacks. It's not often seen so I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen the whole show how she has difficulty controlling her magic and aiming her attack moves. We learn that she can aim just fine, but that she is subconsciously missing on purpose because she doesn't want to hurt people. She can't use her power correctly because she holds it back instead of just letting it flow. A giant display of power like that generally means there is something in store in the future, even if defensive. Think about Gohan. And I wouldn't call that ball entirely defensive, either. Point is, Noelle always had a lot of power, but just didn't know how to use it properly. We learned she has no attack spells, so I guess just hurling those balls doesn't count as actual spells? It's not clear. But yeah, now she does have attack spells, and they're badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
