Black Clover will be getting the cover next issue (#27) and will reveal new visuals for the anime - I hope Tabata working with them helped the art style at least

The animation needs more work from the looks of the OVA. And please why Studio Pierrot? I hate them so much after butchering Toyko Ghoul :emocat

Xebec did an okay job but the character designs were horrid, I did like the VA's (not so sure about Asta's though) so I do hope Mars' and Yuno's stick - I do have little faith in Pierrot, so at least my expectations aren't high

Romi Park may be a good fit, but I'm just gonna see how it goes - we may get a voice we'll just have to get used to unfortunately, let's just hope it's decent as we'll have to deal with all that shouting

Those designs are way to clean and generic.

While I have issues with Black Clover's paneling, it's art is still recognizable and unique. This...isn't.

Asta's VA: Gakuto Kajiwara
Yuno's VA: Nobunaga Shimazaki

I'm not a huge fan of the designs, but they're still better then the ones from the OVA.

I just read about the new anime and it triggered such a roller coaster of emotion.

Black Clover anime..:pleased
Cruchyroll secured the rights..:wtf

Being made by Studio Pierrot.:8C

----------------------------------------------------

As a Black Clover fan that really hurts me.

Studio Pierrot takes good and great manga and turns them into mediocre to bad shows. It's what they do. Not saying there isn't talent in that studio but the focus there has been quantity over quality for a very long time. They are the Activision of anime. They acquire the rights to great manga then churn out lackluster adaptations on the cheap and hope the fanbases are fanatical enough not to care. Like Naruto's was.

They literally haven't made a good anime adaptation of anything in about 10 years. It's not just Tokyo Ghoul they've done this with. Sousei no Onmyouji and Beelzebub were the same way. Bleach and Naruto haven't exactly been treated well by them either. They even got essentially fired from the job of handling episodes of Legend of Korra because of how bad of a job they did.

You can already see from the character designs they are trimming them to make it quicker and easier to animate.:fail

Regardless of how most people feel, Studio Pierrot is still considered one of the top anime studio's in Japan, and quite frankly I think the anime will be pretty good considering the anime was announced in December of last year and has just now given information about it. That to me shows that Studio Pierrot is taking it's time making it so I'm hopeful it'll turn out good. On a little bit of a side note the Tokyo Ghoul anime still brought in a tone of new readers after it aired and it should be noted that Tokyo Ghouls author wanted the changes made in root A, also and this is just personal opinion I really enjoyed Sousei no Onmyouji since I don't read the manga I don't see a problem with the anime.

Studio Pierrot is very successful at what they do. In a way that's comparable to EA which is one of the most successful videogame publishers. But EA is nutorous for buying popular game series/developers and driving them right into the ground. Their success is not because they do a good job. It's because they acquire the rights to popular series, promote them heavily, and make episodes quicker and for less money than other companies do . Toei works the same way.

Just look at stuff that's handled a different way like Boku no Hero Academia by Bones or Gintama by Sunrise or One Punch Man by Madhouse. Adaptation that's done with the most effort the company can provide.

Pierrot does not respect their source material at all and have standards of quality that are lower than the rest of the industry across the board. They supposedly threw out the Tokyo Ghoul authors drafts for that series. Their filler arcs are legendarily terrible. And with their animation it's not just that they do bad work, which they do, it's that they alter art styles and fights to suit them. Almost always making them worse.

There is lots out there on how bad their work in Tokyo Ghoul Season 2 was. And their bad work in Naruto has reached mythic status.

​
Which is probably not due to lack of talent in their animation teams but due to lack of time and resources. The sheer amount of anime that comes out of that studio is amazing but it's not good anime.

As somebody that loves Black Clover I'd like to see an anime that shows off what I love about it. Studio Pierrot will not do that.

To be fair, that isn't bad animation. It just was waaay too out there for Naruto.

Manga like Toriko, Uratarou, and maybe even Kimetsu no Yaiba have that exaggerated feel that that animation could work with...but it doesn't work with one of the more intense and serious fights in Naruto's entire run.

Studio Perriot has the talent as seen in many of the Naruto episodes:



This style of animation would be perfect for the "rough" character design styles that Black Clover has, but that animation isn't constant and only used for special fights. If Black Clover had this animation director for every single episode, I think the series' popularity would skyrocket even further, despite it's current reputation. Especially if, like above, they can take some creative licenses and improve the fight choreography of the series and the general visuals.

That's just stockholm syndrome talking

It IS really bad animation. Even that gif is just ok animation. Few frames, poor detail, movement that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, no background work or particile work. Not saying they have never done good animation. The Garra VS Bone Dude fight was very well animated. As were some of Rock Lee's early fights.

What they were trying to do in the Pain fight was a kind of flowing freehand animation but they failed really really hard. Bones did the same thing with the Midorya VS Todoroki but instead of looking ridiculous it looks awesome because they did it right.


But doing that is difficult, time consuming, and expensive. So Pierrot tends to just half ass because that makes more financial sense for them

The animation looks pretty smooth and it looks, at least to me, like there sticking with the CGI for the magic which I'm actually pretty okay with.
