I haven't finished it either 😭

Anyway you totally should because Black Clover does everything MHA does wrong right.

Both shows have a big cast of characters 

With mha I could not tell you the name of any of them that aren't main characters if I tried and even if I could they all have about the personality of a blank sheet of paper.

With Black Clover, I can name every character in the Black Bulls right now. Asta, Yami, Vanessa, Luck, Gordon, Grey, Finral, Gauche, Noelle, Charmy, Magna, and characters that would be spoilers if I said their names. I can also name: Nozel, Mereleona, Leopold, Fuegoleon, Mimosa, Langris, William, Julius, Klaus, Charlotte, Dorothy, Jack the Ripper (I'm serious), Sekke, Lily. And each character has a strong personality and compelling story. I swear to you the entire main cast all has complex and compelling characterization. I could tell you but like I said spoilers. Even though I really want to.

Black Clover has the same multiple episode long battles but it feels earned because they don't give multiple episode long battles to arcs that didn't need it, they give them to main arcs with multiple episode set ups to them. Not two episode long set ups like the UA camp arc. These aren't short arcs they tried to stretch out they're long story arcs that took a proper amount of time for a good payoff.

There is so much that MHA does wrong that Black Clover does right.

Not to say that Black Clover doesn't have it's own host of issues what with the team working on it being really small so the animation is choppy at best, and also they are actually AHEAD of the manga, to the point where, to keep episodes coming weekly, they have a long long list of filler episodes until the next manga entry where they can finally get a few normal episodes before they're ahead of the manga again 😭

But honestly not a single black clover opening that wasn't absolutely amazing. The smoothest animation is in the openings because of the small team so they put a lot of effort into the recurring stuff like openings and endings. Not to mention, the songs are fire. Not a single one I did not vibe to. The openings are seriously so good.

Honestly since Black Clover got a lot more attention as the show went on, the recent movie had quite a bit of funding behind it and a way bigger team so it was really jarring to see such smooth animation from Black Clover. I got used to the choppy animation lmao.

Seriously it's really really good it's my favorite anime and I love it you ahve to watch it

And I've started watching Young Sheldon but never continued
