Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2017] - Discussion and TOC Talk

I dropped it after 6 minutes. Asta's VA is too annoying to sit through 13 episodes of his constant yelling.

First episode looked good and went well, but holy shit Asta is terrible. Dude was legit screaming for at least a quarter of the episode. Besides that I see why people get Naruto x FT vibes now. Wizard King? Magic Entrance Exams? Rivals that grew up together? Magic and wizards? Demon that resides in the mc? Am I missing something?

 

[conankudo]

Why should I even watch BL Clover when Im reading the manga- it would be a waste of time. Anime adaptation nowadays are so bad.

 

[xAsum0x]

Lmao I couldn't do it.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Damn, that's amazing. I haven't even watched the episode yet but I'm already getting turned away from it lol. His voice didn't seem that bad from the PVs.

Don't forget the orphan MC, and the fact that the rival is "cooler and better" than him.

For me, I don't have a great memory of things I've read so the anime works as a refresher. I only remember the most things that happened, so the anime fills in the gaps better than reading the manga again would (MHA for example). As someone who's watched, read, and reread One Piece, I still think I forgot a lot of things.

I'd say check it out for yourself. But the first 8 minutes were literally just Asta screaming, which was a super turnoff and kind of made the good parts hard to focus on. But after the grimoire stuff it was cool for me.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Holy shit, you're not kidding. At least it's not super obnoxious in the manga, but he was literally screaming the entire episode and you couldn't ignore it...

I do have to say it seemed fine production-wise, and VA choices for Yuno and Asta at least were good. Odd they decided to split the first chapter just like MHA did, but I'm not entirely against that practice, I feel doing it all in one episode is rushing a bit much. It's about what I expected for Black Clover though, not impressive, but I think Pierrot did a good job of it. The only issue is having the obnoxiousness and corniness of the manga vocalized...

No older volumes showing up in the amazon rankings..

I bet on this having a boost like World Trigger, no older volumes showing up in the TOP 50 Oricon weekly ranking, but it will go from 100-150k volume sales to 300-350k.

 

[ChocoBar9]

^Its still kinda early, I'll say give a week.

 

[Tamil]

Haven't watched the episode yet but apparently

 

[SkerllyFC]

So no one´s gonna describe the production of Black Clover? How good it is?

Is that good or bad

 

[De La Croissant]

Did you ignore the rest of my post because you didn't have arguments for it? You are repeating yourself since I already answered it in my previous post.

Maybe you're right, maybe I did not get your point. But the fact that you used Hyouka as a comparison shows that you did not understand mine either.

^This answers your question. It was fine as expected but the main problem was Asta and his voice actor. Needs to calm the hell down and in a hurry. Also no OP or ED was odd, but just gonna assume it's cause this was the pilot episode.

Usually when there are a lot of ADs on the staff it means the production is suffering. The replies to that tweet show that quite clearly.

Some of the great web-gen animators Director Yoshihara works with are currently on another show (Fate/Apocrypha), so yeah

 

[Mammo]

I predicted the shouting and how annoying Asta will come off but still watching the episode got me like

 

[tirakai]

I figured Pierrot would screw it up. Oh well.

 

[ChocoBar9]

Come on guys its his first role ever and there's really nothing you can do to make Asta sound tolerable.

I figured Pierrot would screw it up. Oh well.

No this is exactly how the manga went. Pierrot is actually blameless this time around.

Thanks, was just about to ask about this.

Eh, I figured that Pierrot would do fine with it. I'll hold my opinion until I actually watch it.
