Analyzing the series:
Black Clover is a series, which received many negative reviews in part for its similar plot to other anime like Naruto and Fairy Tail and for being too cliché, the anime touches on different topics like racism, social discrimination and teaches us that regardless of the circumstances we should never give up, both the atmosphere and culture tells us that the anime is developed in France or England, these being the places where the anime is based may have many things to improve but something is sure this anime came to stay.
Conclusion:
This anime still has a lot to offer, with several bows in the manga and a promising plot this will undoubtedly be an anime to remember, this is all for now I hope you liked my post and that you will be encouraged to watch it if you wish, do not forget to vote and leave your comment, until the next one.
