THE BEST PART OF THE EPISODE WAS WHEN THEY CUT TO THR CHURCH FOR NO REASON. EVEN WHEN WE'RE SO CLOSE TO ACTUALLY STARTING THE STORY WE GOTTA STICK TO OUR FILLER ROOTS.

I feel like I got some sort of wishing on a monkey's paw deal on this anime, because when I read the manga I always hoped the anime would add just a little bit of filler. One of my complaints about the manga was that the pacing was so fast it didn't give me any time to build an interest in any of the characters.

ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.

The one bit of info we got about the Black Bulls is not a good sign for the quality going forward. So, the Black Bulls are just wholesale the Fairy Tail guild, huh? When you're taking ideas from Fairy Tail, though... that's a pretty worrying sign.

Like I said earlier. This series is just Fairy Tail with less fanservice.

I find it better then Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail did have a decent premise anyway just poor execution.

I find it and it's characters different enough as well.

And since he's in another squad (minor spoiler) now he gets to be shelved for a while, while we get to meet and greet with the REAL good characters of the show : The Black Bulls.

I am pleased that the series is seemingly done with the bullshit, and finally made it to the Bull poo poo. I may start watching again after bailing on the second episode.

gently caress Fairy Tail forever. gently caress it in its stupid, fanservice-overdosed face. It's like they took that one Gintama episode where Tae suggests how to boost Gintama ratings by combining Dragon Ball, Bleach and One Piece in one horrible, ill-advised mish-mash.

I tried to stick with it but by the time I reached the timeskip I realized I just wasn't enjoying it and was mostly bored, so I dropped it. I can't put my finger on exactly WHY I lost interest.

Pyf hazardous chemistry is a fun thread to read even without the academic background. Unlike the last third of Fairy Tail, give or take. Started off generic but fun, and did fine like that until it ultimately collapsed under the author’s inability to add anything to the formula, buried alive under the dozens of NPCs and nigh identical fights congealed into an undifferentiated mass and smothering what life remained.

I remain moderately hopeful for Black BullClover so far. 50 eps would put the natural ending around the sea temple arc I think? Be a good spot to go out on if that’s all we get.

Feels like it's good to mention that this motherfucker shouts too much, and it's not even for like a parody reason, meaning they thought it was a good idea.

It isn't.

This is just tailor made to destroy the voice actor's throat

the thing is, the black bulls aren't really known for causing mass destruction. they are known as being incompetent troublemakers. heck, giant, catastrophic destructive magic is sometimes presented as a point of pride for the more elite magic knights because it is only possible due to their innate magical capacity.

you know that part in pokemon s&m where team skull try and fail to steal a bus stop sign

that's the black bulls

I feel like Asta's voice has gotten much less annoying in recent episodes. I heard his Dub voice is also less shouty.

Supposedly the English voice actress for Excel from Excel Saga seriously hurt her throat trying to duplicate Kotono Mistuishi's pitch and intensity. I'd imagine the staff in charge of dubbing try to reign things in a little to avoid that happening again.

I just watched the first episode dubbed and the dub voices are all pretty good. I'm probably just going to wait a few weeks and watch that as it comes out instead

A good episode because the Bulls are what make this story excellent. Asta's OK but really the rest of the team are the fun characters. Magna and Luck especially.

Also the Anime makes Gosche seem less creepy thus far, which is good.

Gauche is really bad in the manga. Literally the worst. The siscon thing is bad enough, and then you learn she's - at this point in the story - 9 years old. And I'd hope any good adaption would remove that, but then if you do... Gauche kinda has no personality.
