Hopefully Spring Weapon, and the colour and extra pages are a way to give it a big finale (because there's clearly someone high up that loves it enough to give it one).

Realistically though we don't actually need anything else to end, remember HxH took Poro's spot and now that it's on hiatus again there's a free space open in the magazine.

Isobe, HM, HxH. That's 3 already so probably nothing else I guess.

Why would HxH end? I don't think it has that much left as most people think but I don't see it ending soon.

What about World Trigger? It's on hiatus but can't WSJ transfer it to another magazine? D-gray man got that treatment right?

He means it's not currently in the magazine.

When HxH returns they'll just have something end at that point to open a spot for it, there's no point in keeping a spot open for a series that's going to be off for a few months at the very least.

Remember Poro got cancelled to make space for HxH, if the idea is still confusing you just think of this as a really late Poro replacement.

So BC ep 3 aired today and no one is talking about it? I mean it's a filler sure, but I didn't except anime-onlys to also not care

anyway

they expanded the fight between the magic hokage and the magic 9 tails but made both of them look underwhelming
studio clown burnt his budget in the first 2 episodes, so say goodbye to quality and say hello to QUALITY
the yelling is baAAAAAAAAAAAAAck

the interaction between Nash and Asta about how poor people are not allowed to dream in this world is covered in the first Black Bulls missions and again and again later in the manga every time a noble shows up, they beat you over the head with this and it looks like the anime will continue the heavy handedness tradition

on the good side, the filler made me like and care about the father more than Yelly McYellface which is not a hard thing to do

The Wizard King's fight at the beginning really didn't look good at all. I kinda thought they wouldn't show that, since they had the story of the Wizard King told to Asta and Yuno in the form of a story book in the last episode. Kinda makes that change redundant.

I liked some of the stuff that was added, but again, I didn't feel like I got a whole episode's worth of necessary material.

The first few arcs of Black Clover are terrible imo, so I'm not looking forward to what's to come when the pacing is this slow.

It was a cute episode and asta giving that inspirational speech to nash was inspiring. Its got really good content.

At this point I think I'll just wait until the Black Bulls are introduced and hope the pacing gets less awful from there, I actually quite like the early arcs from the Black Bulls introduction onwards but even I'm not a fan of the beginning arc before that, I have no idea why Pierrot thought it'd be a good idea to filler up the series before they've even introduced the main cast.

Imagine them getting Kimetsu no Yaiba and doing the same thing to its first 3 chapters that didn't even rank well.

The arc where they go dungeon hunting is probably the worst arc in Black Clover. Looking forward to it on 20 eps

^you are confusing sales with print size

Robot×Laserbeam #1 = 79,396 before exiting the top 50

Robot×Laserbeam #2 = 59,344 + at least 17350 = 76694
So RxL2 vol 2 sold at least the same of the first volume, but in less days.

More people should read RobotxLaserbeam, even if you don't like Kurobas, its a great manga.

I lost so much respect for Pierrot when they literally had a year of Naruto Shippuden fillers after the manga had already ended. It seems they take pride in being the studio most associated with fillers.

Its not that no one is talking about it. People are talking but the anime has not given us any new information into the world or characters that we didn't know. A majority of the information about the world was given in the first episode including a glimpse at the hierarchy of peasants and nobles. The focus has been put of Asta and Yuno. The second episode decided to expand on their relationship as kids and personally, expanding on Yuno's crybaby past was good as it gave him more depth than in the manga where he's simply "a cool, silent-type guy". However, BC works best with the Black Bulls. The long flashback really didn't need to take up the A-part and also go into the B-part of the episode. Cut down on the into recap and the flashback could have fit in the A-part and the B-part could have expanded on the fight with the chain guy. Asta has just been given a sword. Expand on the fight to show that he can't just immediately charge and take out a Magic Knight. Have him fumble a little and then make a comeback and take him out. This week's episode didn't need a whole journey montage B-part to further show the relationship Asta and Yuno have. While putting the A-part aside, the journey should have only taken at most half the B-part and spent the other half looking into signing up and looking around the capital and ending with the beginning. That is much more exciting that just reaching the capital.

The workplace must also be battlefield as this episode had 2 Chief ADs, 4 ADs and 1 assistant AD. It was also supposedly outsourced to Studio Drop. Keeping up the schedule and quality as the upcoming battles need some good animation is definitely going to be tough on the staff.

I think only a vocal minority complain about original story content, as most people still watched all the shippuden and original naruto original storylines, people even watched BLeach's Bount arcs and the living Zanpaktou arcs.. Same as most people have/will watch episode 2 and 3 of BLack Clover.

compare this jump thread to this same forums special BLack clover anime thread for episode 3.

The best thing about the first 3 episodes has been Yuno, who is barely passing off as a decent, less edgy Sasuke, and the opening. Episode 3 wasn’t bad, just boring. Studio Pierrot is cancer when it comes to filler but the expanded backstory was ok. Tired of Asta and his stupid screaming however.

I still can't believe Pierrot put almost 40 episodes of fillers before Ichigo vs Ulquiorra. That said I really enjoyed the Zanpakuto Rebellion arc and to this day Byakuya vs Kouga is one of the best fights in Bleach.

Who knows Bleach may never have had such terrible ratings that the anime would need to be cancelled if the series wasn't 45% filler. It may not be the cause of its low ratings but it definitely did not help the anime either.
