Asta's voice is so unbearable I'm not sure how any of you managed to watch more than a few seconds into his first scene.

Jesus this show is completely unwatchable with the VA screaming every line at the top of his lungs. How did that get a pass in production? I know it's true to the manga, but it's not tolerable to listen to for any length of time.

idk why you'd ever listen to the general consensus of the internet but like you said it's 100% true to the manga for him to talk like that and the yelling was jarring for maybe three scenes and then i loved it and embraced it as the good dumb gag that it was

Dumb yes, good no. The character as is is unlikeable trash, and from what I've heard the yelling never stops. Even if I had managed to get past the first scene with Asta I'm guessing I'd probably have found just another cookie cutter shonen.

if you want to complain about something complain about the chains in the fight scene looking like cg amateur hour

Asta is actually super likable because he's an underdog that stays an actual underdog and claws his way to every achievement he gets instead of secretly being the inheritor of some dumb lost art or actually being the best in every possible way like 90% of shounen

He's just going to asspull a solution in every situation like every shonen hero ever. He obviously is the "secret inheritor of some lost art" given that an unprecedented 5-leaf magic book popped out of thin air because he believed in himself.

Asta yells a whole bunch so unless the new guy voicing him gets told to dial it back you're gonna need to get used to it to watch.

Black Clover is 100% a shounen and I don't think anyone will ever try to say that it's some unique take on the genre. It's a very good shounen because it has good characters and cool magic fights. It's a bit silly to expect things like "Asta gets a new power to solve a situation" to not happen, but at least the idea of people's grimoires getting new spells as they use it is already a thing established in the first episode and not unique to Asta. There's more things later on that do some neat things with what usually happens to a main character but in the end it is still shounen

Just watched the episode. Never read the manga, but Asta strikes me as the typical hot-blooded shounen hero, so the voice is kinda fitting?

Pretty much this.
Yes, it's a shounen. Shounen gonna shounen. But it's still fun, and does some things in interesting ways and adds fun twists to them.

There are side characters that you see and think, "man, they legit look like main characters of their own :krad: story", but then Asta and the crew does something awesome and you think, "but these crazies are fun and i wanna keep reading about them :allears:"

If you enjoy MHA, you'll probably enjoy this. It's just plain good.

i'm not a shonen expert but i did like how this one very overtly has the main character's struggle align with class dynamics. he's the underdog literally trying to supplant the lovely nobility in his kingdom.

Black Clover is aggressively okay and has some really good characters and some pleasant surprises. I don't have much faith in this adaptation given the studio involved and the first episode doesn't really fill me with confidence. We'll see though.
