I'm not sure if this is going to turn out great or not, haven't seen the first episode but read the first two volumes when they first came out and Asta got on my fucking nerves. Reminded me of a much more annoying version of Naruto. The premise is pretty dope though but to me it felt like your stereotypical Shonen.

Man. I actually really enjoy the manga, but Asta's voice actively annoyed me multiple times throughout the first episode. I'm gonna try to stick through it though

True Asta voice is really annoying, hope I will get used to it, but I will probably watch the dub instead.
I wonder what Japan thinks of his voice acting?
They haven't confirmed the date yet, but usually, simuldubs are 2 weeks later.

I made it about a third through the episode before I simply couldn't take it anymore. I'd like to know who thought it'd be a good idea to have the main character yell every single one of his lines in the most obnoxiously loud way possible because that person needs a stern talking to.
Apart from that, we have a shounen tale about a spunky short-tempered kid who dreams of becoming the next __________ but who has a hard time fitting in because he has no chakra/cosmo/ki/stand/magic/nen to speak of. He also has an edgy dark-haired childhood friend who is just too aloof and cool to show any emotions and who will more than likely become his rival in the future. Now, I couldn't even finish this first episode but I'm willing to bet that at some point it is revealed that loud protagonist-kun is harboring some sort of super amazing hidden/forbidden power that he won't manage to fully control yet until at least a couple of training arcs. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

That voice was enough to make me check out, whoever OK'd it must've been on something.
Still finished the episode, it's the most generic shounen plot you could think of. (As has already been detailed in a prior post)

Episode 2 was beautiful and Yuno so into hist Asta. I love how inspiration and and great it is and I think it looks good all the time.
Also love the idea of Asta saving the powerful Yuno, we need more.

There's really no reason for them to not just have all of chapter 1 in episode 1. We have a three minute recap. Then most of the episode is a flashback to set up a scene that has already been intermittently cut to during the previous episode/this recap that I think everyone understood the gist off. The fight itself looks nice, but it is just one hit. Really should have done this all in one go.
It appears that the next episode is going to be full on Asta and Yuno traveling, where in the manga chapter 2 jumps six months right to their destination. I knew I should have been worried when Yuno was all over the op/ed lol. Guess I'll have to wait until episode 4-5 to get to some of the more fun characters.
I like the OP and ED songs.

And thus, the pinnacle of shonen rivalry was born

Wow its Naruto.
Loudmouth hyperactive protagonist check.
Douchey stoic superiority complex rival check.
Wants to be wizard king/Hokage check.
Nobody takes him seriously and makes fun of him check.
List goes on and on.

I'm hoping that now that he has his grimoire the main character will calm down a little and stop shouting every sentence.

I've only watched a couple preview videos (mainly the memes sprouting from Asta's voice, lol), but I imagine I'll only appreciate the production values. The manga's nothing special and the beginning is especially tired. It's just Naruto and Fairy Tail mashed together.
Also, that we're doing the 2908325089th song and dance surrounding Nozawa's Goku is just...really? Really?
Up there with 4Kids Sanji as the worst miscasts in anime dubbing history.

Pierrot continues to get really good OP animations for their animes, liked it as much as I did with Twin Star Exorcists 3rd op -sync-
Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh
Studio Pierrot is going the "long lasting shounen" route with this series, with no seasonal/yearly breaks like MHA is getting. So yeah, expect the pacing to be god awful.
Even if the fight was one swing, I like that they at least tried to add some flair to it.
Hmm. If that is the case at least they seem to be a bit smart about it by putting some in now where it (kind of) makes sense, so we don't get a huge amount of filler all at once later on (though that point would eventually get reached anyways).

Black Clover could benefit from "filler" (IE adapting the light novel), I'm also not upset with them expanding Asta and Yuno's journey to the magic knight entrance exam. You could still do these things without stretching the canon content so thin like they're doing. This adaptation seems completely botched.
Oh yeah especially with the manga being fairly new the pacing is going to be bad if what bassforever said it's true both 1 and 2 could have easily been one episode

Here is a simple solution if you wanted to extend the first chapter into 2 episodes
Elongate the fights
Have Yuno actually fight with the bullies (it's what they are).
Have Asta have a longer fight with the thief, heck go nuts maybe have Asta free Yuno (or Yuno breaks free) and the two have to work together learning about the extent of their new powers together.
Another suggestion would be doing what One Piece did, start in media res perhaps at the
dungeon arc

I highly expect there to be original storylines (filler) since even Twin Star Exorcist, a manga that had less than 30 chapters at the time the anime came, still got an original filler arc as well as other moments in its 52 episode run from Pierrot.
Episode 3 will recap the previous episodes in entirety.

Ughhh I'm on the same boat... Every word that comes out of his mouth is an annoying yell or a complaint... His voice is the worse part of the anime to me as well. He sounds like a reject BlackStar lol. I figure it'll get better or ill just get used to the bleeding from my ears..
Funny enough Black star is a parody of heroes like Asta

I liked episode 2 as it gave Asta's determination to become Wizard King some sort of rationale. Also having read the manga, Yuno is
The earlier parts of the manga definitely channels parts of Naruto and Fairy Tail. The latter is a bit better when it focuses on the fun characters and the fights filled with teamwork and strategy. It also completely embraces it's cliche-ness but that is it's charm for me. It does not do anything new but it is a fun read. While Academia's recent chapters
sometimes bored me with it's pacing, I am still constantly wanting to read more of Black Clover.
Also regarding Asta being some kind of chosen one,
Does any one also know how long the anime will go for? One thing I can appreciate about fillers in this os that the side characters can be developed more. Black Clover's slower chapters are some of the best moments in the manga.
not just an edgy Sasuke clone. He respects Asta and treats him as an equal and is sometime partly humorous.

Also regarding Asta being some kind of chosen one,
He is a chosen one in the sense that he has the antimagic grimoire. But as stated by recent chapters he does not have any special blood in him aside from the fact that he has no magic.

Black Star post Mifune fight in the manga becomes genuinely great. Becomes a whole lot more competent and serious and his usual shounen boasts become no longer idle boasting.
He's definitely an exaggerated parody though.
Oh nice. Hopefully that means they will at least adapt through
seabed temple arc.
