If you think that you can enjoy this anime as long as cliches don't bother you, think again. There's a reason cliches exist- when done right, they work. The problem with black clover is there literally nothing there OTHER THAN the cliches.
The characters are very hollow, 1-dimensional and completely unrelatable representations of your usual cliches. Not one character brings any unique flavour to the anime. They are merely sock puppets repeating the same lines every episode, who were made only to complete the typical character checkboxes to get the series funded. You have to watch this for many episodes to really
...
appreciate how dreadful they are, as nothing has changed in the 22 episodes released so far. THEY STILL RINSE AND REUSE THE EXACT SAME 1-liners AS THE FIRST EPISODES.
The voice acting becomes uninspired as there is no reason for the voice actors to become invested in these excuses for characters. The back stories are shallow, the main character is as bland and boring as you could imagine with a dreadful screaming voice used for 95% of his lines.
The art and animation gets worse with every episode- to the point that poorly drawn stills are used for "action" scenes in what is supposed to be the CLIMAX fight of the arc. Frames are reused on loop to save time and money. The fights are terrible and poorly conceived. I recommend the viewers save their own time and money and stay away.
