The Absurd Story Behind Black Clover's Animation 

One thing that I find funny and heartwarming about Black Clover is that if you go to twitter you will see that there's a lot of fans that are aware of BC production issues and because of that a lot of BC fans on twitter end up respecting the fuck out their series staff member(rightfully so), to the point they won't tolerate any type of uneducated slender towards the staff, especially towards the animators

There are some genuinely amazing animated fights though. That magic captains tournament fight was soo good.

yoshihara loved bc and he pulled so much weight for the show. it’s sad that pierrot left the show to die but regardless of that black clover still has a strong fanbase

Oh god,I knew that Black Clover was a production mess,but holy fuck it's beyond that 💀 I never heard a series director doing In- betweening for this many episodes consecutively,it's sad how they were handling the production on scarps leftover by Studio. What can I conclude after watching this video? Yoshihara is a Goat 🗿

Even if the animation was a mess most of times , the story carried it 🔥

I feel like the tough production gave Black Clover it’s charm while it was airing. Never seen a community more positive and grateful than BC’s.

yes the quality of the animation was.... questionable to say the least, but black clover's animation also feels unique and it sets it apart from the rest. its also really nostalgic if u go back to rewatch the series. tbh im glad it turned out this way

Tatsuya Yoshihara is the goat all black clover fans owe him a big one🛐

I remember people question why tatsuya yotshihara didn't involve more in chainsaw man. Every time people ask that question i just say "black clover"

big respect to the black clover staff that actually wanted to make it good especially the director that called ppl to help

For me, Black Clover was so good that i barely even noticed any of the Unique animated moments, but for the scenes i did notice some "bad" animation, it didn't bother me much, i still thought the episode was pure peak (or almost peak, more leaning on the pure peak side for me), and now figuring out more of the "bad" animation i didn't notice when watching it for the first time, it really made and makes me realize even more of how much i enjoyed and enjoy it, and how much a story or a thing in general could be a master piece for someone, idk what did, but i remember being on crunchy roll, and then looking at Black Clover, and being like "Yeah why not" or something similar, idek if it was a anime I've been meaning to get into for a bit at the time, but the second i started watching it, my whole world changed, and i felt a magnitude i never felt betore, along with how happy i felt when watching something, specifically an anime i think. Almost everyday and night i could, i watched it, even in school for the few minutes i had, when i went camping, and around the night all the way till 4am or higher, god the Elf arc is something else, pure hype each episode, and even the fillers are amazing, i was getting excited a few minutes ago when typing this too! Black Clover is definitely the best anime of 2022 for me, and the 1st or 2nd best for me, when it comes to shonen, definitely the best for me, it has that magnitude that other shonens don't, sure back then, i was pretty interested in JJK or MHA at the time, but Black Clover is built different, Asta is the first character I cosplayed, i got his demon slayer sword, a mask, his wig for the cosplay, a black bulls pajama, and ik more is yet to come. When it comes to the 1st spot, there is an anime that really drawed me in, but when i was younger, so it also has a special place in my heart, but Black Clover might be in the #1 spot for me in general, and i feel like shouldn't even say "might" since it's that great. When finding some "bad" animated moments, it really makes me respect the anime more, and Yuki Tabata.

Ep 63 is definitely memorable you can say that much. It doesn't look good, but at the same time it's so unique you really feel like insane talents had only an hour to make an episode and that was the result. We'll probably never see anything like it ever again.

They even delayed the movie by 3 months 💀

Black clover was just done dirty for no reason at all 💀

My Question is Why Did Studio Pierrot Agree to Make this, EVEN Though they didn’t care, There a lot of series where they generally cared... yet for black clover, the heart is not there. This is one anime where I say THIS Needs A Reboot, Like A Reboot where the Animation is Done in house and The Animation Studio Genuinely Cares.

That moment when Studio Pierrot was putting more effort into Boruto filler than it did for actual Black Clover material. You had manga readers pissed off at how the anime was treated, some of which actually learning how to animate just so they can join the team to make it look better in eventual episodes, some of which involved in the Asta & Yami vs Dante fight.

black clover deserves more love tbh

And once again I am given yet another reason why this is my favorite anime adaptation of all time. I don't think any adaptation of a manga will ever surpass Black Clover in how symbolically tied into the series its production, reception, and development were. On all fronts, the music, the animators, and the anime itself overcame the FUCKING RIDICULOUS AMOUNT of obstacles in their way. They surpassed their limits.

The series director deserves at lot of props for trying to manage the anime's production to keep it from completely falling apart.

I'm surprised Black clover animation didn't end up like 7ds s3.

You could say that the Director Surpassed Their Limits 🎉

Trigun Stamepede is in its final arc and the quality of the CGI was breathtaking. You should do an analysis on that

Is it weird that I appreciate those weirdly animated fight scenes from anime? To me as long as the fight scene flow and remain consistent then it’s fine. The pain and Naruto fight to me felt fluid

Could you make an animation breakdown video for vinland saga season 2 once it ends? Doesn't really have too many sakuga-like moments but the overall consistent animation/visuals are phenomenal

MY FAVORITE INDIAN DROPPED LFG

This was one of the only animes that continued airing during the beginning of covid shut downs and through to the end of a lot of them including japans

I think if BC come back in TV series,it depend on how people react to the movie. In Jump magazines The ToC chart is so low and manga book selling is not good too. Is there a possibility that the studio won't continue due to the bad trend? and focus on other anime series?

Thanks for the animation analysis! The moment I watched this episode, I was like, "WTF is this?" and I don't mean it in a good way. I searched in reddit what other people's are saying, and it was like a 50/50 split. The ones saying it was good but with a special style in it and the other ones that said it looked straight up bad. I agree on the CG-Backgrounds and the 3DCG in general. It was not good at all. But I must say that a lot of episodes catched me and were good. How about you make an animation breakdown of the Fate/stay night Heavens Feel movies? I would love to see this a lot. My most favorite movies ever. Thank you for the video like always. ;)

best new gen. easily the most fun ive had watching any show.

Thanks for the video dude, i never knew black clover anime production was this messed up. Man knowing this makes me appreciate Tatsuya Yoshihara and everyone that involves with the anime production even more

another day another great video

I don't get why people so many people seem to shit on this episode, it's wierd, yes, but like you said it is one of the most interesting visuals ever, and god I honestly love this episode, it constantly feels like the characters are on the verge of exploding into a speed blitz of incomprehensible mass and I'm constantly on the edge of my seat while watching, did this episode have flaws? Yes. And even though later on in the yami and asta vs dante fight was more well animated (along with a few other episodes) this episode is just so interesting to watch that it holds a place in my heart as one of the most visually stunning pieces I've ever seen because no, it isn't art, it's animation, in its purest form and it is beautiful, thank you for reading this rant if you read it... to whoever is reading this, you're cool :)

Great video as always would love to see you talk about One Piece's Wano animation and how it became so good you don't have to listen to me of course if you don't want to that ok keep making these great videos.

Love your way of explaining ❤

Great video as always, can you make an animation breakdown of Garden of Words.

Honestly there were so many amazingly animated fights that after finishing watching all the current episodes I don't care about those episodes with awfuly low level of animation. Inconsistancy is very noticable, but It's one of those traits that establishes the show and makes it interesting and more hype because you can see how much things improved

good video, they just need to actually support it when it hopefully comes back next year(spring/autumn) and it can be very very good, the upcoming arc on the anime will be good so the animation needs to be consistent enough , easy as that

Hell's paradise was released yesterday. It's looks amazing, exept bluring. Can't wait for your review!

I wonder how popular black clover would be if ufotable decided to take over

Hope views will keep on that level. Wish you and your channel grow

Black Clover did have an animation producer, two actually (Maiko Isogai & Naomi Komatsu), they're just not credited as such for some reason but as Producer, they were working on Twin Star Exorcists before and you can notice that some of their connections were on Black Clover (Itsuko Takeda, Mifumi Tomita, Studio Cosmos...) I guess you got confused with the Production Desk role which was absent for ~20 episodes, although it was a major role too Also, the animators from TRIGGER (Ikarashi, Kato, Sannomiya...) on episode 63 were brought thanks to Yusuke Kawakami who was working on SSSS.Gridman at this time, not Yoshihara directly or the PAs Nice video though!

Great video as usual man❤️. Yoshihara is The Goat. Also 3:55 where do you can find these informations?

Well.. awesome video as always Also, can we expect a video on Vinland saga s2, campfire cooking,slime isekai or your thoughts on spy family as an overall finished product ✨✨

Please make video about The top production issues in anime industry such as black clover, wonder egg priority, jujutsu kaisen season 2 I love your videos

I loved the animation for episode 63 idk why but all the flashing and they way the move is so cool to me

I can't wait for you to make a video about the absurd story behind Jujutsu Kaisen season 2's animation after the season ends.

And yet, I still love it.

i literally just watched the latest video right before it got taken down

woahh nice video, btw, where do you get these informations ? I also wanna know more about this

the fact that even though the animation was definitely a mess loyal fans stayed loyal till the last episode and after episode 150 their patience was paid off

Luckily we'll all be able to see how Black Clover will look when it's given time to cook in the oven with the movie.

I hope the movie does well and we eventually see a 'black clover brotherhood' or 'black clover kai' type redo that gives the series the quality it deserves.

You should do a video on Studio Bind and Mushoku Tensei. It has great animation, especially for it being the first anime of the studio. Why was this? Are there certain well known veterans involved or has this talent just popped out of nowhere?

Let's hope when the anime comes back, it's seasonal and it's scheduled far better than before so Yoshihara and Tanemura can have all the breathing room they need so they can get all the best animators they can. And given how good the movie looks via the trailers, it's definitely a sign of what's to come.

Black clover had insanely good story which stood out from others but the animation became the very reason it didn't reach the fame mha and jjk did. Only if it had a good animation

7:22 and his mother??

Where would you rank studio pierrot as a anime studio and i feel like you could make a 1 hour video just talking about the black clover anime

i think for videos like this you should add captions on the visuals of the video, you talking about a guy at 5:08 and i cant tell what i see is done by him or not

Episode 100 was something special. Every department gave their best.

Can you make a video about kingdom animation?

what is texture? I still can't get the hang of this term despite seeing people mention it many times

Im new to BC and Im currently on the Witches' forest arc. Ladros vs. Asta brought me here. And tbh, I understand now.

For me animation was perfect specifically black and white moments and cube animation.

Never watched BC but i know that production was a disaster and from what u said it's even more bad than i thought lol not even aniP there to help them sheeesh it's rough but in the end yoshihara saved BC from completely collapsing as expected from him

nice info

I loved the animation.

It's clear as day that pierrot is forcing all there efforts on bleach tybw. Even boruto while not as bad as black clover also has some issue and the quality of the code arc is no where near that of the jigen/isshiki arc imo.

Thanks Yashihara

I'm waiting for you to make a kny season 3 first episode breakdown when it's aired

Don't forget bc is weekly anime

What did you think about jigo episode 1?

I have to admit that Black Clover is a good Anime even though the animation can be pretty bad at times.

If pierrot didn't care about Black Clover why not just cancel it earlier? 170 episode is really much while most of the animes are 12 or 25 episodes long. It just sounds really weird make an anime this long while didn't care how the episodes looks like.

"the only episode i'll talk about in detail is episode 63"" "for obvious reasons" 💀

Cool video. Good thing I read the manga I guess. But it is sad what happened to the anime adaptation. Hopefully, it improves later on. Also I would love for you to talk about Bleach like this. OG one I mean. There are some great episodes in that I remember. Even better than the new one(even tho overall the adaptation was mid for various reasons). Like episode 341, 219 comes to mind. Thanks

Really love your animation analysis videos. You are a really underrated youtuber. Considering you are a danmachi fan, I would love an analysis video of the series animation as a whole. Many consider that S1 is the best animated of them all. I wonder if you also share the same opinion.

Do a animation breakdown on hells paradise forest episode. It’s amazing first episode

I wish ep 63 would be reanimated by some studio like demon slayer jjk or solo leveling studios

I think the animations are great

Tbh black cover would be better as a seasonal anime

Thank you for the education :^)

Fico muito triste de saber que Black clover não teve a atenção que merecia e se depender tirando o filme que foi incrível quando o anime voltar ele talvez não tenha uma animação descente 😞😟

Make another black clover video BUT THIS TIME MAKE IT ON THE RECENT MOVIES TRAILER IF YOU CAN DO JJK YOU CAN DO BLACK CLOVER

The story was interesting to me so I never care about the animation of the show and it's in my top 10 . Interesting video

This is why I am reading the manga

A video on one piece should really be expected

Ngl I kinda like the style of episode 63

Japanese animation studio have a vision for they own project but the most of them is out sourcing but in America they do have plenty off studioand have so much source but didn't have any vision what a world

Wait did you actually take me suggestion

Bhai , apne country me anime jaisa kuch kabhi banega kya ?

“But shut up” 😭😂😭

Even if the animation is sub par some times I still will say black clover is a 9 outa 10

Still waiting for that kannada video

We a need different studio for black clover. I mean, they even gave up on Boruto. Black Clover Brotherhood anyone?

i got a request , can you make a video about sds season 3 and 4 and why the animation is so bad :)) ?

another example of a studio not careing anymore is My Hero Academia on Season 4 they just said fuck it we give mob psycho all our budget

Do one about the new bleach

7:22 I'm sorry did you just say an animator had to call in his MOTHER in order to do corrections?!?? I've Literally never heard of this happening before that is insane calling this production a shitshow is a grave understatement lmfao. Somebody please give Tatsuya Yoshihara a vacation for the love of God

yoshihara come back

Forget everything. The problem with Pierrot is they view everything as next Naruto. So instead of having a proper seasonal production they want to make it a long running continuous show. God knows what do they get from this. Long running shows are more risky than seasonal shows. I love BC, if only they have a proper seasonal production we would have gotten a decent animation all throughout with in between movies. But nah. Well it's still a successful show, atleast after 30 episodes it started to pick up fame.
