I finally finished Black Clover after 4 months of pause

Everyone kept saying it gets good after episode 100. I got to episode 80 back in June and just couldnt keep going with the yelling. Picked it back up last week and forced myself through the next 20 episodes. Yeah the tournament arc was decent but I dont see why people put it next to Naruto. The animation dips are rough too. Anyone else take way longer to warm up to this show than expected?

Man I had the exact same wall at episode 80 lol. Asta's yelling literally gave me a headache and I dropped it for like 6 months. The tournament arc was okay but not worth the 100 episode hype train. For me it finally clicked around episode 130 when the time skip happened and they toned down the screaming a bit. Even then the animation quality jumps around so much sometimes you get these janky still frames that look like fan edits. I still think the show is good but people comparing it to Naruto pre-shippuden is wild to me.

@martinez.paul Same exact thing happened to me around episode 80. Got so sick of Asta yelling I turned it into a drinking game just to get through it. Bad idea. The tournament arc felt like a chore, not gonna lie. But yeah, post-time skip is where the show finally stopped screaming at me long enough to have a decent plot. The animation is a rollercoaster though, some fights look amazing and then boom, a talking scene that looks like it was drawn in MS Paint. Comparing it to Naruto is just setting people up for disappointment, theyre different beasts entirely.

Lol the drinking game idea is genius, would've saved me 6 months of ignoring the show too. At least post-time skip Asta screams at you instead of into your brain directly.
