TheVileOne 2,491 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 (edited) 2 hours ago, Eivion said: The current arc of Black Clover feels.....weird. Its a filler arc, but instead of the typical shonen you expect they have been focused on societal issues and extremism all building off of the general story and world that has been built so far. It might actually be the best arc in the show, but its also is decently beyond what they normally are going for. Its good, but it just feels so odd to see in this show because its very much a typical shonen. I think it's interesting, but it's also moving very slowly. I find it hard to find suspension of disbelief that you had all the top knights in the kingdom ready to pounce on the Magic Parliament traitors and the cultists, but they all still got away. Seemed like a waste to bust out all those big guns. They really had no way to counter them about to conduct a public execution on innocent civilians? And now we've gone in the complete opposite direction with the couple wanting revenge on Clover and wanting to do so by defecting to Spade in the hope of getting Devil Powers. And then you have the other cultists who worship Asta, but don't bend to the fact when he's telling them this is all wrong. Edited October 14 by TheVileOne Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't all the top knights, just a decent bit of them. They also couldn't pounce because the the cultists used the angry mob as hostages. 11 minutes ago, TheVileOne said: And now we've gone in the complete opposite direction with the lesbian couple wanting revenge on Clover and wanting to do so by defecting to Spade in the hope of getting Devil Powers.

While they have a great respect for Asta, they are way too angry to have his outlook. I think the pace has generally worked well. Its not the usually hyper action arc so things are taking their time to build. its also why the arc feels weird. Its not at all what had been standard in the show beforehand.

Eivion 3,653 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Its hard to be excited as I have already forgotten what happened in those films. 1 hour ago, Eoae said: Some outlets are saying he part 4 is going to be six hours long. The studio already said it was bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites

(I think I wrote a review of it when it came out on the prior version of the DVDVR board. It's a real confusing hot mess.) Link to post Share on other sites

The studio already said it was bullshit. Thank god. It seemed unlikely, but who knows. Of course, the last part may well feel like it's six hours long. The last episode of Evangelion certainly did. I liked the third Rebuild film quite a bit, although, yeah, I'm going to have to go back and watch parts 1-3 before I watch 4. IIRC, 3 diverged from NGE more than the first two films and was hard to follow. FWIW, I recommend Evangelion Rebuild highly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

LoneWolf&Subs 6,536 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Part 2 is great. It has one of those crowd pleasing twists that you don’t expect from the series. I don’t mind the dark outcome at the beginning of Part 3. My issue comes from them not subverting the bleakness like they did in the 2nd film. So it leaves you with a “That’s it?”.
