Black Clover feels like an amalgamation of the best parts of the Big Three:One Piece-level characters.Naruto-level heart.Bleach-level aura.It’s a love letter to its inspiration. No matter which is your favorite, there’s something fans of all three series can enjoy in BC.pic.twitter.com/vBlFXqXM4l
Inspiration isn’t copying as this user aptly pointed out.
This isn’t wrong but ppl misread obvious homages as ‘copying’ because they’re moronic.
This user had nothing but love for the series.
I LUV BLACK CLOVER with all my heart, the whole series is just so awesome and full of meaningful messages ~~~ And yep I totally feel all the Big 3 influences in this masterpiece !!!pic.twitter.com/OobBstVquY
In all honesty, the series is slept on as this user pointed out.
I think black clover is slept on way too much. It is one of my favorite new gen for a reason. The characters are actually focused on and improve unlike some of the animes in the big 3
Although Yuki Tabata’s manga is inspired by other works, the series is unique in its way.
Black Clover isn’t a run-of-the-mill Shonen anime despite its influences
Despite the unfair criticism, Black Clover excels as a Shonen anime. From its storytelling to its well-written characters, the series sets itself apart in the genre. Furthermore, itswell-written female charactersmake it different and superior to most Shonen anime.
Apart from that, Asta and Yuno’s rivalry in the series is healthy. While both characters are foster brothers, their zeal and passion towards their goal aren’t outweighed by their relationship with each other. Moreover, the well-paced plot and theoutlining of side charactersmake the series exceptional and remarkable in every way.

Black Cloverdraws inspiration from most anime. In doing so, the author has faced unjust criticism from fans. While most elements in the storyline come off as banal, the series outshines it in its way. Despite its well-written characters and plot, the series remains underrated. To say the least, it deserves its due recognition.
Black Cloveris available for streaming on Crunchyroll. The manga is available for reading on Viz Media.
