Back with black clover after a long time!,
the anticipation for this film by the BC fans is unreal!
To preface the black clover anime is infamous for its bad animation and annoying main character, the production for the anime was hell but it still managed to win over the hearts of millions fans despite its short comings in tough environment!

The movie :
the film's 1st half is rather boring and sometimes doesn't make sense but it does forget the stakes it brought up!!
the movies "revives" not 3 but 4 previous wizard king's and queen's and never forgets to show just how powerful they are.
I was scared ... that the way they are heading with this I.P its catering to more child audiences than teens but after watching the movie i realised that maybe it is but some aspects are just down right great!

---The Villans:

Conrad becomes a very interesting character in the 2nd half and his powers when combined with the "imperial sword" feels like
One for all meeting All for one. Conrad was executed well , heck all the wizard kings and their motives were top notch by the
end.
I have watched most anime original movies and the villians they fight are often very bad , which is why they are non - canon.
But this movies villians are really good and a strange conversion about how to rule a country which humanity had in real life!

---The 1st half:

this half was the boring part and felt really strange , with the limited run time the movie was trying to setup alot of things so
i guess its fine but it really did give me a scare cuz i thought the movie was going to the shitter!

Animation: an handful of great moments , alot of good moments and few bad moments! 8.5 /10
Plot : fine plot couldve been better for the 1st half but the 2nd half is what makes black clover! 6 / 10
Music and Sound : Maybe its just me but i couldnt really hear the voices clearly , the sound effects were good and the theme song is
just golden.

Black Clover honestly changed my life for the better!
in a year where everything was shit, in a phase of life where every single step I
take is stressful it gave me a fun and emotional outlet.

Story & Characters:
when I started reading the manga I was caught up with the anime and wanted more! I agree that when the series started it was generic, basic and at some points even boring but i still kept watching. I don't really know why I continued
watching it, but now as I reflect on the past i realize that it was the characters!
The characters were very memorable and their backstories were ... very believable
in the world the story was set. The Black bulls vs Veto fight was when I started
to feel kind of motivated to just do something productive...like exercising, studying etc.

I started to exercise even tough i recently had a surgery...my grades started to climb and everything just felt like it was going according to plan..and then dropped the show! Its because of the animation...
But after 6 months I picked up the Manga!

The Art:
I freaking love the art...and the character designs...especially Nero's.
God LvL.

Enjoyment:
The manga now is in the midst of an overseas arc where things are starting to get spicy! The story is just so bombastic that you just feel like you have clinical depression when you catch up!

Overall:
Asta has really been a role model in my life. Everything he does just makes sense.

I really think that this is a manga for every age group.
This manga is close to my heart.

A manga which established a lot of great troupes and Cliches.

Giving it a 9 is admittedly a bit too much but it is a solid 8 and a great entry point for people....

The only reason i'm giving it a 9 is because i discovered the series when i was a kid who was bit too into "Pokemon" and "Doaremon "..Hence its very close to my heart.

The art and the story are amazing...the author is such a good illustrator that I want to see more of his drafts for the characters.

TLDR,
Great series for ppl to want to get into manga.
