  As a huge fan of the original Black Clover manga I feel like I owe it to this series to write a review so here it goes Story (8): Not much changed here from the original manga, not wholly originally but entertaining none the less. Art (4): I'm embarrassed to say the character designs were copied over in a very sloppy way and the animation was so stilted and awkward it look like a low budget game running in 30fps, it was garbage. Sound (5): The music wasn't awful but none of the tracks really stood out to me, the voices just didn't fit and it really hurtmy enjoyment of the OVAnnConclusion: For fans of Black Clover it's worth a watch while we wait for the official Pierrot adaptation but for anyone else, don't let this be your first exposure to Black Clover, it will hurt your enjoyement of it in the long run and leave a bad first impression you, the manga has much more to offer.

  This is my first review. Story: 8/10. The story is really simple, a magic world with powerful forces such the Magic Emperor and the Magic Knights, and the MC and his rivall aim to become the Magic Emperor. If you like Fairy Tail and Naruto, give it a chance. Art: 5/10. The weakest point so far, the really is fair creepy compared to the manga art, the characters were a bit uncharacteristic compared to the manga counterpart, especially Mars. Sound: 7/10. Decent soundtrack, looks like medieval songs, consistent with the story setting. Someone voice actors are good, especially Yuno voice actor. The MC voice actor is good, butdoes not match the character. The ending theme is really good.nCharacter: 6/10. Decent characters, but the lack of development is notable, but it's only 27 minutes.nEnjoyment: 8/10. As a reader of the manga, I really enjoyed myself, and I was excited to see one of my favorite manga animated, but I was a bit disappointed.nOverall: 7/10. It was good, but not so much. Recommended only to manga reader.

  Honestly, this is just a much much worse version of the episode where Yuno and Asta get their Grimoires. I was really hopeful to see something new or at least a little bit more story than what's shown in the original anime, however I was extremely disappointed. I'd say 3/10 at best. The overall quality looks like a 360p 3D animation and the voices don't match the characters(might be be cause I'm used to the main series after almost 200 eps). Just 3/10 across the board.Only watch it if you want to tick it off your list, but otherwise don't waste your time.
