“Black Clover” is a new TV Tokyo “screaming shounen” magic battle anime that is based upon a shounen manga. In a world where everyone has some level of magical powers two baby boys are left at a poor country church. Fifteen years later the boys have grown – one is tall, handsome and very capable at magic, the other is runty, loud and incapable at any sort of magic. When the time comes for 15 year olds to receive magic grimoires the tall handsome boy receives a spectacularly special grimoire and the runt receives nothing. But when an evil magical thief attempts to steal the special grimoire its the runt who suddenly obtains a demon grimoire and can save the day.

Studio Pierro and the mangaka have found all the lowest denominator factors to put into this anime. This is paint-by-numbers story telling at its most banal. To add to the waste of time, the runt character screams more and louder than most TV Tokyo shounen action MCs have ever tried before. There are no redeeming features here. My final rating is C- and I'm forgetting about this immediately.
