It's not like Tabata didn't get through BC's first year by nearly constant borderline plagiarism or anything (Hungry Joker also was just a hodgepodge of tropes and panels from other popular series)
No one actually complained though...
Because the purpose of the poll was to gauge the reception of the forum, not the general internet. If we just let everyone vote then what differentiates this from a twitter or reddit poll?
Respectfully disagree.
Plagiarism? The first chapter of black clover is basically Naruto but the opposite.
Did you not read the later posts on this subject? It's one month, 30 posts now.I don't think I have had an account for six months. Will my votes not be valid anymore?
If that’s the main concern, I just personally don’t believe that significant amount of people are coming here from other places of the Internet just to vote in our pole. I’m sure maybe a few, but not enough to really make a major difference.
They are, which is why I brought this to everyone's attention in the first place. The 1st and 2nd position were definitely being manipulated by new no-post accounts.
But with the small userbase we have, even a couple counterfeit votes can/will afffect the results to a noticeable degree
Not worth my time to bicker, my point is that it seems very easy for Mashle to poke fun at Black Clover directly or write about things that make the content of Black Clover seem un-serious, and if that happens, I will be displeased. That is what I have to say on the matter.
Aaaah I see. Nevermind then
To give you guys an example, there's currently 17 voters who voted for One Piece who don't meet the criteria of one month old accounts with at least 30 posts. There's 40 votes in total for One Piece currently.
its actually a common thrope that is populair in japan, its a coincidence cuz hes a harry potter fan + hyper muscline is mostly seen as a gag in japan. i do agree its a slight shotfire against BC, but that alone proofs that bc made an new wave just like how mha is for zipman. btw tabata wouldnt care lmao, its all for funnniez

mwua, its rather a love letter for the shonen mangas he grew up. he wouldnt regret or feel guilty at all cuz he doesnt have to. Also he had do something to catch people attention of his previous flops so yeh..
Tabata's previous series Hungry Joker had all the same problems as early Black Clover so I don't understand the argument that Black Clover did something differently to catch readers attention.

Hungry Joker was just as safe and lazy though?
I know CSM isn't gag, but it's definitely action comedy. So it's not just gag that's targeting that kind of thing. It's something that seems to work really well in general, regardless of genre.
It's been so long since I've read it that I can't even really remember enough to counter this. Wasn't there a higher focus on science?
