A fun little nonsensical story that plays up all of the character's biggest stereotypes/personality flaws. Chibi mecha Black Clover. Asta and Yuno try to solve the mystery of who's turning everyone into robots. Dunt dunt dunt...
It's funny, and entertaining. A quick and enjoyable watch. Silly characters doing silly things. I'm totally going to be calling him "Wizzy" from now on!
If you generally enjoy BC and are looking for content you may not have seen before, this will certainly satiate you for a bit.
And to make it even better, it's free to watch on Crunchyroll.
And omg that opening is fire. (All of BC's openings are fire,

Boku no Hero Academia 4th Season

***DROPPED***
The worst BnHA/MHA season to date. Could not finish. Here's the deal: I've *never* liked Deku. The only times I've liked this show is when the "ensemble" of characters all played a large role. When the ensemble is the focus and not useless Deku (eg, the USJ arc, Sports Festival arc, Provisional License Exam arc, etc). This season is no different. Deku still sucks. It feels like he's hardly progressed at all in 4 seasons. Still incredibly weak and overly emotional (BORING). The big arc this season is the Overhaul arc. And I thought some of the ensemble characters were pretty good/interesting (Mirio, Red Riot, Nighteye, ...

Here's the deal: This show is *MUCH* better than its rating. MUCH BETTER. However, that's not to say that the criticism it receives isn't also true.
I think the plot, animation and music are pretty great overall. The supernatural Nazis in modern-day Japan plot was interesting. And the metal rock music during much of the series is a fitting touch. It is somewhat confusing, especially early on. But they do explain things further as the series continues. I also think some of the dialogue/monologues are kind of cheesy and unnecessary. This is a plot-driven show; I have no time for your "feelings". So I fast forwarded through those ...

Boku no Hero Academia 3rd Season
(Anime)

The show is solid. Not great but good.
However, Midoriya is awful. LOL. I do not like him. I can't see how I'll ever like him. A hero that can't fight. Just an awful MC. Are we supposed to feel sorry for him? Because I don't. I want to like him. I want him to become a Pro Hero. I want him to realize the full extent of his powers. But he still can't do diddly-squat with his powers and he's still a pathetic weakling. At this point, I think the manga/anime will both end and Deku/Midoriya will still be working on mastering 8% of his power. ...

Definitely better than season 1. The sports festival arc is really good and learning more about All Might's origin story is also interesting.
As for characters, again, I just don't like Midoriya. Don't think he's a good MC. There's just nothing about him that draws me in. And being so awful at using his own power just makes it even worse. Can't fight at all without TKO'ing himself every time. Much prefer Mineta, Bokugo, Eraser Head, Todoroki, All Might, Froppy, Ochaco, and Momo. I generally don't care about the "art" in anime unless it's just awful, and MHA's art is fine. The music is alright, but not memorable ...

Hunter x Hunter (2011)
(Anime)
add
Decent anime but I didn't find it to be that great. No desire to ever go back and watch it.
Simply put, I think Gon sucks. Just a very low IQ, annoyingly, pseudo altruistic character. Impossible to like because he's just feels so fake and is static/monotone as a person. If he wasn't hanging around Killua most the time, the show would be unwatchable. With that said, let's discuss the arcs: - Hunter Exam: Thought it was pretty boring - Heavens Arena: Definitely interesting, learning how to actually use their skills - Phantom Troupe/YorkNew City: Could've been good but kind of meh, thought Chrollo was neat ...

Black Clover

TL;DR:
When I watch other anime, this is the show I compare them to when deciding how much I "enjoy" them. Some have come close, but none have quite matched the pure "entertainment" I get from BC. For me it knocks it out of the park, hence my 10/10. LONGER VERSION: **No spoilers** It is my favorite anime of all time. I enjoy everything about this show. It's fun and entertaining. **My review is largely based on the English dub. So Asta's voice was never an issue for me. I have, however, watched 20-30 episodes with the Japanese voice actor. I managed just fine, but can understand why some ... |
