Why Black Clover is not more popular?

Although it is a generic battle manga with a lot of cliches they're executed pretty well and it has some good things:

- The manga has a fast pace and is improving with each arc.

- Good battles in which various strategies are used, the members of the group of protagonists usually work together and use various plans and combinations of powers to defeat the villains without using the "power of friendship". Asta can't beat most of the villans he's faced solo.

- A great cast of supporting characters and secondary with pretty good character development.

- The cast of female characters are great, with them having their own battles, developments, personalities and goals,in fact their female characters are much better used than those of My Hero Academy.

How do people ironically enjoy shit shows like this, HxH, and Naruto?

Over-the-top fighting in anime is just straight up disgusting and ridiculous. I guess the more shit you eat, the more it tastes good; but at the end of the day its still fucking shit.

If you're gonna watch Shonen, at least watch the good ones like Jojo and Mob Psycho.

>over-the-top fighting
Many people complain about it not having enough fights and often ending in anticlimaxes.

>latent ability
WQ made Asta's bloodstream more susceptible to anti magic. That's a perma buff in the middle of the fight.

Asta's bloodstream was already susceptible to anti-magic. Bitch Queen only removed the limiters AKA awakening latent ability

Too much sameface

Since that's going nowhere, let's say it's so. Then WQ still assisted during the fight.

>fast paced
Thats a bad thing, its like those shows for autistic kids that cant stop having loud music, weird sounds and flashing lights all the time with non stop movement to grab the kid's attention due to his lack of attention. Its really mediocre shit for autistic faggots and the fast pace is also there because if you stopped reading for 10min and started thinking about what you just read you would understand how trully mediocre it is.
>teamwork+strategy
Well i will give you a pass for the teamwork stuff, its true that BC avoids the terrible trope of having the MC doing all the work while everyone else just watches like a bunch of retards. But honestly i dont think it should be something to praise its the bare minimum. But there is no real strategy in the fights, you only get the bar minimum lvl trash that shonen shitters love so much because they haven't read any series with deep tactics and strategy. Once you start reading more mangas with real and more complex fights you understand how low tier BC "strategy" is.
>great characters
Ehh, i wouldnt call most of them bad but they also arent anything special they are pretty standard overall, some are better than others and some are trash but overall its average at best.
>females arent shit
Yes female characters arent terrible and are better than MHA girls, but again thats nothing worthy of praise. Saying that BC is good because the girls arent terrible would be saying that piss is better than shit, yeah its true but it doesnt make it good. Again having female characters who arent trash is the bare minimum.

Overall you are autistic to praise something for doing the bare minimum.
If not having trash girls, ok characters, ok fights and terrible pacing is what makes a grear manga for you, you should probably read more stuff cause those are very low expectations to consider something "great".

So? Ladros being assisted doesn't take away from Asta being assisted.

Black Clover is unironically the best modern shounen. It takes even the worst shounen tropes and executes them in a way that's satisfying.

Togashi should take lessons from Tabata

>started thinking about what you just read you would understand how trully mediocre it is.
I do this every chapter and that's never happened

It sorta does because Asta's imminent victory forced Ladros to get assistance which led to the witch queens help

Because for most people, it hasn't escaped from the shadow of its mediocre by the book shounen beginning. It still gets shit on by people who dropped BC at the start even though its gotten a lot better since then. Compare it to BHA which had a great start, but then peaked at AFO's big fight and has been downhill ever since, but still gets eaten up by people.

Slam Dunk, Black Jack, Astro Boy, Rookies, Kenshin, Touch. Want me to continue?

I'll only accept Slam Dunk, Astroboy and Kenshin out of those.
The others are mediocre

I just picked it up like a week ago and I already agree this is basically better than any other currently running big shounen and in fact better than many of the older big shounens before it.
Why is it not more popular, who knows.

Maybe Asta isn't whiny, emo and pathetic enough to draw in the demographic.
Maybe his negation power isn't flashy enough, or maybe the medieval fantasy setting has been over done.
Could be that most of the characters don't stand out enough and look kind of like background characters.
It's hard to tell really.
The anime is ok but the OST feels weak and I haven't seen any big emotional memorable scenes yet, everything happens too fast and it lacks the typical shounen long internal monologues that happen while something else is going on and time seems to stop so the MC can grapple with his insecurities, goals and find his inner strength.
Shit just doesn't feel personal for the most part, which might be what the shounen audience in general wants, not a big story or a well built world or even important fights but simply for fights to have a personal aspect at stake and so far I'm not that far into the series but for the most part they just seem like mercenaries without anything personal on the way.
Maybe it lacks a really powerful first arc to draw people in for the long run?
Sure not every series has that, but older series enjoyed a different landscape than today's.
Or maybe it simply lacks enough big boobs.

>The others are mediocre
Don't act like you've read them. Black Jack is easily more enjoyable than Astro Boy.

First impressions are everything.
Most normalfags only watch anime and don't read manga, and the first impression the BC anime gives is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

it's this
fights dont become personal until Finral vs Langris

Chad, he's challenging the God himself for her pussy

I'm glad you're enjoying it. For me personally I dislike the looks of the MC a lot (and the anime adaptation's voice actor has forever tainted him). The setting is a little boring to me. All in all I would probably like it if I gave it a chance but I'd rather spend that time on stuff that aligns better with my preferences.

and I'm not impressed by the girls. I do like my waifu material in shows every now and then.

Yah but that was really out of character when compared to his current character. Idk what the hell Tabata was thinking because that first impression drove people away. And Asta's not as whiny or annoying as, say Naruto was

>The setting is a little boring to me
This, the same generic fantasy setting with magic, elves and shit we have been seeing forever

I wish the setting was Hungry Joker

Based chadsta

I'd wager some part of it is the barrier of entry. When I started out as an animeonlyfag it felt super generic and annoying at first, but it gradually improved. This argument gets used tons of times and I guess it people are just fucking tired of it, but it actually is true for BC.

same unironically
I really love BC, it's my favorite series in WSJ right now but Hungry Joker was better in a few areas setting being one of them

>Yes female characters arent terrible and are better than MHA girls
Not even close. If you have to keep bringing up how good a female cast is then they probably aren't very good.

It's the Double Arts vs Nisekoi argument, original idea failed so they went for more generic ones

>Compare it to BHA which had a great start, but then peaked at AFO's big fight and has been downhill ever since,
This meme will never be true.

BHA already had it's shark jumping moment in O MY SIX QUIRKS
At least Black Clover is far from its sharp jumping moment

>I just picked it up like a week ago and I already agree this is basically better than any other currently running big shounen and in fact better than many of the older big shounens before it.
Nope and nope. That's the thing about BC is that everything it does you can find a modern shounen that does it better. It does absolutely nothing well its the fast food equivalent of shounen manga

Kys jimdim. Is there ever a BC related thread that you never shit up?

>shark jumping moment
Top it off with te fact that it was a popular theory for years. The only people who think it "jumped the shark" are retards who didn't pay attentipm hence why they try to discredit it all the time.

You really think them all having the same "Pining for blank tsundere" personality and goals makes them interesting? I'll give you that at least they are given fights which is better then 90% of what shonen do with their female characters but then its ruined by them all having Sakura syndrome.

>Why Black Clover is not more popular?
Because the people that read it can't even structure a proper english sentence.

Only three personlities

Stoick
Crazy
Tsundere

Sadly the females are only just given the one.

This isn't unique to Naruto, but holy fuck does the Naruto page look way better.

>I'll give you that at least they are given fights

Most shounen have female fights

That's two pages

good female fights that don't involve being saved or the enemy being fatally stupid

>good female fights that don't involve being saved or the enemy being fatally stupid
Well its not in BC because that shut happens in every fight.

I think the current generation of manga all lack in popularity compared to their predecessors because they take the wrong inspiration. They're all clearly influenced by Naruto, when they should be going back further and take their main inspiration from DBZ.

It's amazing BCtards actually believe this.

Noelle by default has done less than Pinkshit, just by the virtue of BC not being 600 chapters long yet.
Rukia was relevant all the way up till the final arc in Bleach.
Annie from SnK was literally in a fucking crystal comma for a year and was still more relevant than 80% of the male characters.

The fact that Ochako is practically see through does not make your female characters special or stand.

The story so far has been very safe and predictable, that's not bad in my opinion but if you're looking for praze then you're not going to get it.
At least I find very difficult to get personally invested in the characters. Maybe is because the cliche personalities or because the anime has horrendous delivery when it comes to emotional moments
While trying to avoid the overpowered MC is good and all, sometimes is frustrating seeing how Asta can never get anything done, he's such a reactive character. I would like him being the one starting something for once.

are you actually retarded? the three on the left are brothers and sister, the two on the right are brothers

You do remember she only actually one 2 of those fights?

MHA absorbed any of it's potential popularity

Because you are autistic or you haven't read much mangas.
Nice strawman, never said you can't have a faster pace than average but if you can't stop to breathe, there is a problem. You need to have serious attention problem if you can't read some "slower" stuff.
Another strawman, obviously having a pace too slow is terrible the same way a pace too fast it. Why are you bringing up One piss? Are you that insecure about BC that you think that anyone who finds flaws in it must be an evil MHA/HxH/MHA fan who only wants to shit on each others to feel slightly cooler about their favorite manga? Its pretty sad that you cant accept that BC has some genuine flaws and that criticizing BC makes you a shonentard fanboy.
Not really, shonens tend to have trash female characters and even if im not a fan of BC the author sure does a better job writing girls and most popular shonen authors, not to say they are the best, like i said its average.
I didn't bring up MHA i was just responding to OP's points, im not a fan of either really.

Every since I saw the main dude in Jump Force I have been considering it. What's it about? Does the main character do everything or do the supporting characters win important fights?

>It does almost nothing to separate itself from the pack
>Pierrot
I say this as someone who enjoys the manga. I'll never bother with the anime though.

>what's it about

>does the main character do everything
The supporting characters use their support powers to make strategies and help the MC win fights he couldn't on his own. The MC has only had 4 solo fights.

Duh, Noelle can't defeat Byakuya and Kenpachi, they're in separate series

I would say that its greatest strength is how well the supporting cast is handled in fights. Characters are rarely just window dressing.

Because people kept spreading the meme that it was shit years ago, preventing it from gaining much traction in the west.

To be fair there's also the meme that it gets good

I think we've officially found the shitist taste

one dimensional characters are boring. elemental powers are boring. first few episodes were boring. idk what else to say.

This. If only black clover had a memorable soundtrack for fights, it has some good OP and ED, but fight music is all over the place.
I could handle the visuals from episode 63, but that music choice was God awful for the first half of the fight.

Youtuber anime personalities gave it bad word to mouth and damage it's brand, turning it into a meme for some and hindering it's westward growth

it has a garbage anime adaptation.

the manga is no masterpiece, its still just a generic shonen but it plays to that well and seems not to fall into the traps that other shonen often fall into.

It's not good.

even MHA is less generic and trope filled than this

But OP

Nothing of what you said is true

It's mediocre to bad in all those aspects.

black clover has unironicly been getting better and better every arc while MHA has been shit for longer than it was ever good.

It’s bland and derivative even compared to other mediocre crap.

when i say black clover manages to avoid certain pitfalls what i mean is things like keeping its female lead relevant and interesting or letting side characters have good fights and not become jobbers.
or making friendship and teamwork actually matter(fights are never 1v1 you need to find out how to work with your team mantes and combine your magic and skills effectively.)
or the fact that(so far at least) Asta actually is just some nobody who set his sights on a very lofty goal and not a sayian, shinigami, uzamaki, etc

three 15 yos actually
remember that Nozel jobbed to Kivn which makes her captain level

I quit this thing a few episodes in because Asta was being too obnoxious so I don't really know anything about the series but I still want to drop in this thread and shill the 3rd opening some more because it's really fucking good and I like it

was this the anime were people complained that the mc was screaming 24/7

It's because it's ugly, the adaptation has everyone spew their complete thoughts out and destroys any momentum the action scenes could have, and Asta's voice actor could be replaced by a woman scratching a chalkboard, and it would be an improvement.

The only bad thing about BC is the lack of good straight porn.

he said Berserk was one of his main inspirations, stop being retarded you ESL

ahmmmm cause it is fucking trash maybe?

I want to like it but the MC is so fucking one dimensional it hurts to watch/read. I get it, and even like it sometimes but I can't stand it for too long, I can't have another shitty Naruto like character, it's too much.

>I wanted to make a manga like Berserk, but in shonen
Didn't that Black Clover

learn better english

My niggers I love this manga more than Naruto.

Shut up

Berserk is a seinen
Black clover is a shounen version of that.

It pays the most Homages to it and keeps the spirit alive more than any other ( as a shounen series that is )

You said literally nothing. You can't pinpoint a single fact or comparission.
I'm sorry, you are legally retarded.

So you didn't read the series and is shitting on it just because?
She couldn't be more different.

One of the NC characters, William Vangenace clearly had part of his charisma as a homage to Griffith

>- The cast of female characters are great, with them having their own battles, developments, personalities and goals,in fact their female characters are much better used than those of My Hero Academy.
O B S E S S E D

>Simple comparision
>"obsession"
weak mind

Holy hell the Haikyuu manga looks ugly as fuck.
Why do fujoshits always latch onto manga with the ugliest artwork?

Interesting. If there a fight I should watch on youtube, without context, that is cool and gives me the feel of the series?

Literally every single fight is animated terribly and has a horrible OST choice. The anime completely ruins any momentum and emotional impact the fights have in the manga. If you wanna try it then read it up to the end of Yami vs Licht. If you don't like it or care for it at that point then drop it. Although the team oriented battles dont start until the arc after that.

even bleach had better fights, it should tell you something

They have mental problems, you can see that because they are fujos.

Why is everybody screeching about BC using story elements from Naruto and Fairy Tail, yet nobody cares that part 1 Naruto is basically re-do of Hunter x Hunter.

>even
God you are retarded. Bleach fights are better than 99% of the competition. Its among the best ones.

goddamn the art is pretty great
I could swallow the mediocre writing for the sake of the art

because all those series are over while BC is still going so it makes better shitpost fuel and better discussion

>female characters are good if they fight and get power ups
Glad my mangaka is not a fightfag pandering to nardo refugees

kys

if you have shit like stats screens, levels or "adventurer licenses" then its basically just an isekai without an mc from another world

The ability to nullify other abilities is the most boring thing to give to your protagonist. Its basically One punch man but the author isn't in on the joke.

It's method of power ups.
>oh no pushed into a corner, I'll just instantly learn a new PLOTkai for this situation
There's some nice background lore to it, that's what I'm reading for. Under used characters who are just there for gags etc are also a problem (but then turn out to be super special/rare/OP). It's popularity problem I think stems from it's mediocrity, it's not so bad it's good, but it's not ground breaking or sufficiently unique to draw readers from older series. I have no clue if this is a generation defining series.
The action is meh, I have other issues with it (pretending early on that some characters could only offense/defense/support, doing two or three was rare/impossible), incredible vagueness with elemental rock-paper-scissors (instances of lolDontCareMyManaIsMaximum). Again being a mana based world, we have no clue on what cost spells have, how fast the MP regens, attempts are made to use it for tension building, but it doesn't really jive.

Based. She fight and smash and she's a wahmen UNGA BUNGA is what clovertards think good character writing is.

The anime was really shit at the start, no idea what it's like now but usually these shounen need a good anime to get huge if they weren't already huge.

Black Clover and MHA made me realize how bad Naruto was, is, and always will be.

People used to shit on it for that. But then it got worse on it's own, so calling it a copy of HxH was kinda redundant.

I agree the circumstances of it are terrible, the fact is it was foreshadowed. It would have been better handled over the training arcs where Deku talks to AM/GT (and all the others who know the truth) about the previous users, the powers they had etc. They had to fucking know 1+1=2 etc, it's Toshi who was the powerless fuck who could only use one power (technically two, because he can PASS THE POWER ON and use super strength). It's handling of 'awakening' each power now, just because Deku is 9th in line was terrible.

By getting the series signature 'convenient powerup when needed'. Also because royal and innately higher than most mana/output. No training, learning etc. Just a straight up desperation powerup coupled with lineage.
