Now you to can experience the incredibly generic and mediocre series that is black clover in glorious sometimes moving animation. Join Asta and his adventures with Fairy Ta... I mean the black bulls magic knights. He'll become the Hokage... I mean Pirate King... I mean Wizard King

 

[Robot Carnival]

feels a little early, thou I've enjoyed the manga so far. might want to wait til they have more in the story before going for the anime adaptation.

Hey it's at least it's not as bad as Fairy Tail...but not as good as early Naruto.

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

One day?

Was planning on catching up on some series since I'm subscribing to the Viz WSJ. I guess I should pass on this?

Sold.

I think its Magic Emporer.

I'm enjoying the blandness so far, I can't get disappointed if I wasn't expecting much from it to begin with.

 

[GoldCrusader]

As generic and easily predictable BC is, it's great fun! likeable characters and great battles.

If studio Pierrot does things right, backed by an awesome OST, Black clover is perfect for an anime.

I think its Magic Emporer.

The official manga translation is Wizard King.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I mean, it's certainly not a bad series. It's just not a good one either. So as I said painfully mediocre. It's not doing anything particularly wrong, but it doesn't do anything special or unique. And Asta and Yuno are about as cookie cutter and bland as a shonen protagonist and rival get. I mean some of the side characters are interesting, but the leading two are not exactly compelling IMO

And such a diverse cast too
The rival who is so wooden that you might as well replace him with balsa wood and nobody would tell the difference
The tsundere
The Goku/Luffy eating machine that tries to be subversive by being a girl
The guy with stupid hair
The guy that really likes girls
Cana from Fairy Tail.
The tough teacher.
The guy with the overly creepy sister complex that I can't tell if it's trying to be funny.
Characters introduced in a completely separate novel that you couldn't give less of a fuck about.

This is somehow a hit in Japan!

One day?

It's over man, we're not getting the Blood War.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Wizard King is what the official translations use. No idea about fan translations

 

[Ray Down]

One day?

Bleach is deader than Unohana.

Sold.

Not exactly the best praise, it's like saying yeah a punch to the gut is better than a kick the balls but neither are pleasant

 

[Defuser]

Makes sense. When I think of piss poor milked out shonen shows I think of Studio Pierott or Toei.

Which mean Black Clover could be huge.

Hopefully if it does it has staying power unlike Toriko.

 

[rrc1594]

I like Black Clover it's a fun read

 

[ArgyleReptile]

Bleach is deader than Unohana.

Still hurts. Unohana being dead, not Bleach being dead.

 

[Frozenprince]

Nobody is adapting that mess of a last bleach arc when it was getting lapped in WSJ by the likes of Nisekoi and Seraph of the End.

 

[Aaronrules380]

accurate

WSJ rather put money in a Assassination Classroom spin-off anime...take that L Kubo and Bleach.

 

[Frozenprince]

Red Sprite lapped it and that shit got canceled like 3 months later.

 

[A.J.]

To learn more about the anime, please read the Black Clover light novel

 

[Aaronrules380]

LMAO

 

[Strimei]

The name Black Clover keeps making me think of something else but I can't figure out what. Hrm.

Anyway though it just started I hope Demon's Plan gets an adaptation at some point.

 

[Sandfox]

Black Clover is a decent enough series. We're going to get a lot of filler though.

 

[Busaiku]

Isn't this only selling like 40k or something.
It's not even that popular. But then again, Weekly Jump hasn't really been able to launch a big property since World Trigger.

 

[Ray Down]

Well hopefully the anime staff is smart enough to give us some context to that ahead of time!

Yup.

 

[OniBarubary]

I mean, the manga is pretty much as flat and uninterestingly generic as you can get but it moves at a breakneck pace so it never rests on any of it's characters or plots or fights too long. As such, the decent art and fun powers can often carry you through the blandness.

It's not good but there's way worse stuff out there. It's just inoffensively whatever.

The fight with the Beast Magician was actually pretty boss tho.

 

[Kite]

eww Pierrot is making it.. please dun fuck it up like they did Tokyo Ghoul.

 

[Moaradin]

WSJ rather put money in a Assassination Classroom spin-off anime...take that L Kubo and Bleach.

Assassination Classroom was better than Bleach ever was so that's a good choice.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Hey it's at least it's not as bad as Fairy Tail...but not as good as early Naruto.

Or Naruto period. I really like the character design and powers but fights and the story is hilariously predictable. Just like Fairy Tail, but I'm permanently pissed Fairy Tail.

 

[Ray Down]

Assassination Classroom was better than Bleach ever was so that's a good choice.

True dat.

Honestly wonder how the Bleach live action movie will do, can it even eclipse or get close to Ass Class Live action movie money.

 

[Frozenprince]

I liken it to Fairy Tail that's not bogged down by 200 chapters that equate to nothing happening. Plus there's less creep factor.

It's inoffensively generic and isn't the worst out there.

 

[A.J.]

Well hopefully the anime staff is smart enough to give us some context to that ahead of time!

That's probably the reason it was written in the first place. The author realized he could write an arc as a novel parallel to the manga so their would be more content for the anime. The story could be fixed in post

 

[Meffer]

The setting and world is so bland. Milquetoast if you will.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Uhm, its volumes in the yearlies easily pass 220K, and just in 2016 it sold 1.3mln volumes. Saying its not popular is inaccurate.

But then again, Weekly Jump hasn't really been able to launch a big property since World Trigger.

This statement is also inaccurate. My Hero Academia started after World Trigger, is getting another anime season, and it also sold 5mln volumes in 2016.

 

[Qvoth]

this series is very generic
i'd be more hyped if hinomaru zumou or kimetsu no yaiba got the anime treatment

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

That looks like a thing I guess.

 

[janoDX]

Pierrot, ugh...

After Naruto The Filler Chronicles and Tokyo Ghoul FILL A...

I don't expect too much.

 

[Busaiku]

Oh yeah, I forgot My Hero Academia started after, that was a big hit.
And it looks like sales did pick, I guess, I hadn't kept up. I remember they initially did like 20k-30k when the series started.

 

[MrSaturn99]

I always see this and World Trigger in Viz's WSJ but they've never seemed the least bit interesting to me.

Is there any appeal to it or...?

 

[kewlmyc]

It really is the next Naruto then.

 

[Ray Down]

It really is the next Naruto then.

Jump wants it to be.

 

[kewlmyc]

Jump wants it to be.

Nearly everything I've heard about the series is "It's a worst Naruto, but with actual wizards now instead of wizards pretending to be ninjas". Apparently the art is nice though, but that won't translate to anime since it's Studio Pierrot.

At least My Hero Academia still seems to be going strong and doing the "we'll adapt what exists then go on break instead of doing filler" formula instead of going into Toei/Pierrot filler hell with their shounen.

 

[Mortemis]

It really is the next Naruto then.

Jump wants it to be.

If jump is stressing for a hit, they should somehow get Togashi drawing consistently, or if he really can't, find an artist to draw for him.

A steady release of HxH would make my dreams come true be a cash cow for WSJ.

 

[SigmasonicX]

It's possible that this will only be ~13 episodes, like most anime for new Jump manga have been recently.

 

[Noirulus]

I remember reading a bit of this a while back and while it's a bit bland and the plot moves and changes really fast (REALLY fast), it's not too bad imo. prolly wont watch it tho.

 

[A.J.]

World Trigger is great if you like slow paced Sci Fi.

 

[Ray Down]

This is studio Pierrot...

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

current crop of WSJ series is pretty shit tbqh

Promised Neverland is good enough though
