Black Clover plus Mashle… FUCK YES!!!!

bleach

The animation is crazy

BZD

How have you watched this before Danmachi!?

Roro

i didn’t think you guys were going to react to this! let’s go!!

King of New York

Spring was full of very high-profile bangers but ngl I’m loving the hidden bangers of the summer. Season is very heavy towards romcoms and there’s a ton of shows by authors of popular series that I didn’t even know about:

Wistoria - By Danmachi author The Elusive Samurai - by AssClass mangaka Shoushimin Series - by Hyouka author Suicide Squad Isekai - by Rezero author Terminator Zero anime - by writer of The Batman Part 2 Oshi no Ko - by Kaguya Sama mangaaka (Although this is already super popular)

Joshua Miller

Black clover rip off let’s gooooo

Krype

Oui

Niko

trigun hasn’t uploaded yet or did I miss something?

The Sleep King

This is the closest we'll get to Danmachi (written by the same author) LMAO - Honestly, I'll take it

dear Roderick

also hold up i just noticed Sheera's hair !!! I love ittttt!!!!!

cyrus gudino

An MC with some pretty good Riz u know what I can dig it

Ren Lichtfoot

This ticks all the right buttons, here before the "this is mid" gang.

WillGlacier

Mashle without the clownery

zILovePelmeni _

yeah not every episode is gonna look like ep1 but considering Tatsuya Yoshihara is the director it will look good regardless. Yoshihara did 4 minutes of animation in ep 1 alone and did Episode direction + storyboard. truly a beast in his prime

pmreez

GAAAAAAAAAAAS

Grelk

🥱wow! Another magicless mc in a world of mages 🤯🤯🤯

Cheesecake

I just know the people who asked for danmachi reactions are seething right now

Koifull

I was not expecting this animation!! peak animation for a peak series!!!

Shiroja

I don't think he knew that was there. I believe that the reason he said he didn't need the familiar is Will was there with Kiki. It looked like he was watching through Kiki.

zILovePelmeni _

wheres your energy when the mc has an inner demon?? cause i know only 2 popular series that have a magicless mc lmao

Ryu

This is already PEAK! I hope you'll react to Danmachi someday, it's by the same author and Danmachi is really good.

danial javady

"I was home" bro is right what you mean whats wrong with him?!

Luhbabytay

Cause it new and they wanna be caught up with the newer shows that out right now that gonna gain more views. ( it a business thing )

Gregery stunt double

my guy just because a story is similar doesnt mean its a knock off. you cant make an entirely original story considering how many there are lmao

CleoKujo

As a BC I’m debating on watching this cause it’s a copy cat

BZD

It’s basically the exact same premise as Danmachi, except the mc starts off stronger.

Devin B

You can say that about most anime though, it depends on how well they execute it and honestly it's pretty decent

Vincent S Deluca

Perfect mashup of the best parts of Black Clover, Mashle and Danmachi and I'm here for it. Also from the Author of Danmachi which is cool for all of us who have been wanting it for years lol also dont think the teacher know this big dude was there, just that as long as they went to floor 6 where Will was, Will would make sure they are okay.

Animefied

cant believe they are watching a show from the creator of danmachi before they watched danmachi itself...

Orlandez Malone

They animated the FUCK outta this show! I've heard nothing but good things so I’m pretty excited to see where it goes.

Daylen

This isn’t really a suggestion but more an opinion but I honestly believe based on this reaction I think yall would really like ragna crimson

GigaDirt

Let's be fair here. All anime and shows in general are copycats of something or other, even black clover, anime has been around since the 60s and 70s, that's 60 ish years of anime with hundreds of anime of year. Black clover is not Unique, but that's not a bad thing. If you like it then watch it, if you dont then don't, it's that simple. There is definitely something out there that fits you if your willing to find it

Vincent S Deluca

Not a copy cat just uses a similar common premise of a Migicless kid in a world of magic, but at least so far is executing it better than BC lol. BC hes barely magicles with his demon and antimagic grimoire. this is closer to Mashle with the magia vander and raw strength no special powers

Jamaal Ellison

I've been reading the manga so I'm Interested in seeing the translation to animation. Some of these characters are mad annoying. Like Sion he's basically magic Bakugo so I can't stand him.

Saphthings

I've read this manga and was like "Oh well, I'll check out the anime". The manga is good, but I never expected them to make it look THIS good O_O... This is like, top tier animation... like movie level.... no way

Ash

I'm having deja vu hard right now. I swear I've heard the part where Sheera said he needed the points and Roshi goes oh so Elfie is the wand and he is the sword. (The matrix is glitching someone please fix it)

Ren Lichtfoot

Black Clover is actually a mash up of Fairy Tail and various other anime. So, idk , I don't think it matters.

Ren Lichtfoot

Maybe this will inspire them to go back and watch Danmachi, cause that show is fireeeeeee

greenb3ar

Damn now the real reason Roshi didn't fuck with Meshi comes out. He just felt bad that people were breaking in to those monsters home and were cooking them up.

Daylen

Eh as someone that has read this and ragna crimson I wouldn’t say too edgy tbh but I respect your opinion

Xavier Baker

facts,but Ragna Crimson is ALWAYS on that timing whether the characters are weak or strong ,the hate is literally on Muzan vs Demon Slayer Corp level of hate bro

Xavier Baker

I see why ppl called this the revamped Black Clover,but I think the comparison is unfair ,we cant say the series is trash because the studio is confused on what they wanna do ,but aside from all that ,i see peak in its future as long as it continues like this

Helpy

You say that like most modern anime is heavily influenced by classics, just like your Black Clover being like Fairy Tail

sim

AHH its nice seeing what the black clover team could do with a better schedule... but im glad we get to finally see what yoshihara can release on a good schedule this seems to be shaping up really nicee

Kd

lol why he lowkey looked like sasuke when he was blocking the rocks

King of New York

I think it's okay to call it a rip off and have it still be good. It's VERY similar to black clover (so far) but that's not really affecting my enjoyment. I still stand on business that Kaiju No. 8 is watered down AOT but I still enjoy it.

Giyuu

This must be how bronny feels being in the NBA

Jarrett Bethea

This is what Marth players in Smash Bros vision themselves as.

Kd

Man Will is Mash with a brain

Anon7524

Honest opinion: This is meh at best. The animation is solid, but the story is generic as fucking hell, with not a single thing in this episode interesting me besides the animation. It's kinda like 7th prince from last season in that way, but at least that show was funny.... I gave it a shot due to others comments, but this was 5/10 at best generic fantasy crap, with good animation

FreshxEli Tv

If you’re a fan of black clover I feel like you’d like it after all this is what they been doing making this while they gave black cover a break

King of New York

True, literally all fiction (not even just anime) is influenced by previous works, but this is like VERY similar to black clover. It also has the same director. JJK is heavily inspired by Bleach and Naruto but not nearly as many people called it a copycat of those because there's also a lot of differences and nuances. This isn't identical to black clover but it's definitely a copy cat. At the end of the day, if it being too close to black clover bugs you then don't watch it, but if it doesn't then enjoy it. I personally couldn't get too invested into 86 because even though it's great I found it way too similar to Code Geass which is one of my favourites. It's okay to like something because it's great and not because it revolutionized a genre.....Let's hope this show doesn't fall off though 🙏😭

Anon7524

I am not a fan of black clover unfortunately, but if I was I would listen to you😅

Zach

I highly doubt this will be as good as black clover tho. This feels like a mid tier black clover. Like a B movie

Jonathan Sessoms

Never seen this but pleasantly surprised started off strong so definitely down for this show cause of the black clover vibes but let’s go from here lol

JotaroDrake

Fake ass Yuji got sent to the shadow realm wtf

ComeTseMe

Someone finna make an AMV using the Black Clover Op 1 (Haruka Mirai) as the background music to the fight scene soon 😂

JotaroDrake

21:38😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

JotaroDrake

Nah Lupa right, ion think he would look generic tho cuz of his hair colors

A

i just hope the animation stays consistent

Dyastro

Ahhh I remember the days when people were shitting on black clover. Look at how far we've come......yall still didn't learn ur lesson~ Black clover got so much unnecessary flack that I didn't even watch it until like 4 to 5 years later..... once I started, I was so confused on how anyone could hate such pure HYPE and back to back action? Also it feels like a chain here. This anime is recommended if u liked black clover. And black clover is recommended if u liked fairy tail. Black clover really did fill that huge fairy tail hole. I love em both, and I hope to love this anime too.

Asellian

very generic but really good animation. I'll continue watching this with yall. :)

A

your comment literally describes Demon Slayer and yet....

Nick Vaughn

The Black Clover comparisons are inescapable at this point but let’s not act like other anime aren’t derivative of something that has come before to varying degrees. For me if the animation remains at this level the entire season then I will stick around for the ride

Scott Tyson

The animation goes so fucking hard I hope this keeps up.

B

YO WTF DID I JUST WATCH. ABSOLUTE HEAT ✨️🫴🏽✨️

Lsg_Lani

“You knowwww magic usersss…” funniest shit I’ve heard today 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mavereth

Brooo I been reading this since the manga came out. Im so surprised there’s an anime considering the amount of chapters. Is there a light novel being followed?

Mavereth

Yooo Lupa. What’s the secret for the hair growth 😭. Help a mf out

sadaholic

there’s bound to be overlap when an uncountable amount of light novels, mangas and animes release every year. this show is definitely unique

Michael Blake

The animation is beautiful, but I have a feeling this is about to be tropes the anime. I'm hype though the Author obviously love Harry Potter. They even got the fake Malfoy and Snape,

AzureSiegfried

This reminds me of a bunch of manhwa I read a couple years back

Zach

I havent read the source material but so far the premise is generic af and the characters were uninteresting. B movie version of black clover so far except the mc was super annoying for the first couple episodes

Isaac

Kinda judging this fast but like .. all I'm seeing and hearing when I'm watching this is just a bunch of annoying stereotypical anime. The animation is beautiful. The coloring looks awesome but I'm not feeling the designs and the way everyone is speaking and acting is already annoying me so this a skip for me, even with a reaction. Also I was never much into the magic school Harry potter anime stuff. Mashle was a miracle to keep my attention and even that was slipping.

Zoe

I read the manga for this one, it's amazing! The story and the characters just keep getting better! Can't wait to see more of it

Warui Yang

Omg they animated the fuck outta that episode ain’t no way the whole anime gone be like this but hopefully it will be. (I heard same author as danmachi btw)

big siah

Its funny because this show is similar to. Danmachi a show we've been begging for and black clover mixed

Arsean Wilbon

no the professor sent him for 4 credits, but the monster went up a floor instead.

Fraudkuna

Always has been. Once something proves to be successful, everyone wants a piece. Could be worse, tho. Could be the isekai genre. Lmao

Dune

Every anime can't be original. Look at how many isekai's there are. They all have the same plot but tell the story in a dfferent way. Obviously some are much better than others.

big siah

Found out this is made by the creator of danmachi. Alread gave those vibes but that minotaur fight Definitely felt like Bell vs the red minotaur.

Dune

"I wont stand for this!" Fight me then bitch lol the fuck.

Nick Baynes

Pretty much every series out there, anime or otherwise, is just a mash up tropes anymore.

sotonye ogan

I will say one thing I hate when the first episode of anime are movie quality cuz anything after it that looks decent gonna seem like a massive downgrade just unnecessary standards being held, but who knows maybe they gonna be consistent like Frieren.

Delinda Arts

the fight with the sentinel is so beautiful, but that sequence where Will is in Work's office and looking through his notebook and when he gets excited about the 10 credits, are incredible pieces of sakuga. VERY excited for this series!

beni

lol mash but more serious

Godrick

So he's basically Toji with a heavenly pact? But it's magic instead of cursed energy. Got it.

sotonye ogan

People keep on saying its by the author of DanMachi, Yeah i can fucking tell cuz that mc is that carbon copy of Bell lmao

Chelle

Close enough, Welcome back Danmachi!

NecDW4

Guys... THIS is why we've been buggin yall to watch Danmachi, Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon

Pan Cakes

no, danmachi won a couple polls a while back but they never watched it lol, its been a running joke

Anon7524

@A I mean at least Demon Slayer had a mystery element in it at the beginning, that is semi enthralling; this one's story is just straight cliche as all hell, which make sense hearing it's by the DanMachi author, as literally DanMachi s2 and after share a lot of these problems too. Animation wise though, this is solid, but Demon Slayer is on a completely different level than this ever could be😅. Seriously I don't even like Demon Slayer, but it's still loads better than this

Anon7524

@sadaholic Nah as there is nothing unique about this show so far honestly. Like you said there is bound to be some overlap, but every single plot point showed to some extent was taken directly from different works from different cultures that I think they just didn't expect the audience to catch (Euro Fantasy, Chinese Xuanhuan, Etc.). The goal nowadays is to use some overlap/influence, and put your own unique spin on it, and this show failed hard on that second part (based only off e1). I really say this specific show really is generic and boring while also kinda stealing since they didn't twist much from what they took

Jake

bro please check out danmachi

Pan Cakes

YOU GUYS HAVE TO WATCH DANMACHI AFTER THIS BRO, COME ON PLEASEE. THIS ANIME AND DANMACHI BOTH GOT HUGE ASS TOWERS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TOWN FOR NO REASON. Also this first episode is literally the same thing as bells first real fight.

Jake

i think if we spam comment danmachi on every wistoria post we might get a danmachi W especially since a new season coming out in fall

J

Dam the animation is so fluid like water 💦💧🌊 it’s really really good some parts looks like they used rotoscope.

CapnHook

@Danger Tomato Lmao there is a TON of originality out there but guess what people don't actually want originality they just want a good story. There a ton of super unique and original mangas and light novels out there that no one actually buys or gives them any time of day.

mal

“you knowww..magic users..”😂

mal

“BOMBOCLAAAT”😭😂😂😂

mal

yea this anime is beautiful. i hope it stays consistent like this, if possible.

Oliver

Danmachi people rise up for a trio reaction!

Aggtown_817

The writer is the same for Danmachi!!! We gotta bait them with this one here!!!!

lilllllllllil

Hoping for Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina one day

lilllllllllil

Also yeah, y'all should check out Danmachi if you're feeling this. Big ups to my boy Bell.

Dolfy

DanMachi in the chat

Nick

Whoever directed this episode knows all the sauce, damn. Hopefully it keeps this quality throughout

Josh

Surely they'll watch Danmachi. Right? Right?

Jacob

The writer was like aint now way im having jc staff do anymore of my work again

Bria A.

Genuine question here to all the DanMachi recommenders: Is the plot...good...? Because for a show that features representations of gods, the character designs are so generic and not on theme with said gods like, at all lmao

Guav

Caught up with the manga after watching the first episode on Sunday and it feels like black clover combined with danmachi, its so fucking fun to read, holy fuck my danmachi peeps are are showing the fuck up, god is good

Shawn

They’re just looking for reasons to complain or be upset about it. Sure the story is somewhat “generic” but it’s still pretty decent and nice to follow along with, the animation was just the icing on the cake. Tired of these anime elitists lol.

Ougi

It's pretty fun ig? The first and 2nd seasons feel super dated with the awful humour, you can tell its a LN adaptation from the 2010s. Plus all the tropey garbage, and the fact there are like 2 consecutive arcs where the bland mc saves a girl who then gets feelings for him just for them to essentially become harem bait. Typical 2010s LN trash but the animations pretty good overall and the world is a bit more interesting than the average fantasy anime, except the power system is also generic game-esque shit. Cool fights tho

Bria A.

Thanks for the insight! Yeah okay I guess I get the nostalgia appeal lmao, unfortunately for me my only real exposure to it has been guys being weird over the girl characters and that internet debate where people were trying to say their designs could go toe to toe with Hades which is objectively wrong. I saw Hermes in that damn Yankee Doodle cap and Ares with that janky battle armor and did a smooth pass 💀

Danger Tomato

Folks still suggesting danmachi like it's the cure for cancer and not hot shit

Takeshi Kovacs

I wish Will would have said “Get up Weakling” instead of “You’re not hurt are you”

Boogie's Games

Bro when Colette pulled up on Sian I thought she was gonna crack tf outta him 😭😭😭

Dud3 itsj3ff

the first season was pretty damn good! the middle seasons are like 6/10 but the newest season of dan machi was almost perfect fr. thats my opinion ofc, ppl are free to not like it.

Ragnar Pendon

the hook is so run of the mill that it's so fuckin' mid and if I find out they blew the budget on this episode alone, I would let out the smuggest goddamn laugh I'll ever have in my life.... however, I'm open to being wrong about this and would give it a shot monster designs are about as interesting as a tonsil stone tho

Ginger Dwarf

Bro this shit is movie quality????

Guav

you say tht when they enjoyed swordart online, 1st season of demon academy( we dont talk about season 2) and eminence

yuno

studio actas. they also made girls & panzer. one of those "cute girls doing cute things" type of animes with a military theme to it. really fluid animation. hope it stays that way.

Tj Denby

this feels like if Mashle decided to take itself seriously, and im here for it

OnePieceMan

First season is dated? Animation is still top tier today and writing and jokes are also way ahead of most modern anime.

Pan Cakes

The time has come for DanMachi fans to be finally heard after winning the poll.

Heavenly Demonic Emperor

One of my favorite manga but it only has 43 chapters currently cause it's been a monthly update kind of thing goin on but hopefully it gets its treatment... lookin forward y'all reaction man

Dyastro

Ohhhh is danmachi the "is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon"? I also heard Dan Machi in the comments but had no idea what it was, but the moment you said bell I instantly remembered lol. I remember watching the first season when it first came out. I didn't watch the other seasons tho (I had forgotten the first one by then, and then never found the time to rewatch). All I remember is that despite its obvious fanservice and degenera-cy, I liked the main character and it actually seemed like a decent plot. I just don't remember anything tho lol. So I still wonder why such a hard push for the reaction tho. I find it funny that I never heard it called as danmachi, but its full government name? Yeah, remember it perfectly appearantly.

Fraudkuna

I'm a fan, but I won't sugarcoat it... People are overhyping the crap out of it. It has a lot of potential, but is hampered by the harem shit. It's hard to care for the cast when some of them are there to simply fall for the main character after their introductory plot is done. Sometimes it feels like an isekai without being one and there's only like 2 characters with some actual substance despite their obvious motives. The underlying plot is interesting enough (when the writer remembers there's one... ), the main character is likeable, and the fights are entertaining. It's just not as good as the fans would like you to believe. And yes, Hades' designs are still unparalleled. Whoever said that Danmachi's had a chance against those was smoking some pretty cheap stuff. Lmao

Anon7524

lol who wouldn't remember the iconic name of "Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon?", DanMachi is too simple next it. Side note, does anyone know if he actually at some point in the story, picks up a random ass girl in a dungeon? All I remember seeing was all of the girls going after him when they are done dungeoning for a point

Cream_That_Corn

I can't hear sheera for shit in this reaction. Did Roshi not turn her Mic on?

Maxxy

so hes a souls player who think magic aint all that so he just parries and rolls his way to wins, what a chad

Cream_That_Corn

No idea. Also she got normal volume right after the beginning. Just the very start she was super quiet

Hueki Yuuki

OH MY GOD WAIT IS THIS THE ANIME WITH THE GUY THAT ONLY WIELDS A SWORD BUT LIKE, IT GETS COOLER RIGHT? AND LIKE THE TOP PEOPLE KNOW HE'S HIM?! WAITTTTTTTTTTTT IS IT THAT MANGA?!

Kars

holy fuck the level of sakuga that was in this episode was nuts. I doubt they can keep it up all season, I just hope it doesn't drag down too low lol

Jigga Man

Lol this looks cool but this just seems so generic, I'm good on this one

Yamahai

If Mashle, Tower of God and Kaiju No. 8 had a baby

Dragon

we need some danmachi

John Nesbitt

Its crazy how Sion got both his homies clapped in episode 1.

Seany Park

I just caught up in the manga, this series is gonna be PEAK

OldManMag

Idk how i missed this coming out here but man i hope y'all finally give Danmachi a chance after this. Same manga writer/artist. At least y'all finally see why we keep hyping up Danmachi although its older so not 100% as well animated as new stuff like this cause of tech. I also believe this was one of the first AI translated episodes since localizers kept putting nonsense translations in to match their personal politics and people got angry. (also possibly the reason crunchyroll stopped comments on the entire site as people were complaining.) "Workner" is just Wagner but it was changed for no reason.

SoggySoup

Wow I did NOT expect that quality. I hope it can keep it up.

Vayne

ya seeing them watch this fight made we instantly think theyd love danmachi honestly

Ivan Tsu

Does Danmachi get better later or is it just not for me? I'm seeing a lot of people recommending it, but I watched the first 2 seasons a long time ago and thought it was pretty average at best. There were some cool fights but not much other than that.

A. P.

They said Asta who? lol Dope character design & animation turned up to extra crispy, I'm sold

A1_MiLFshAkE

This is exactly how I feel with slime, but to your question my IRL was saying that the latest season was by far the best so maybe that's my sign to hop back in

big siah

Danmachi gets amazing you legit stopped at the season before the turning point when things got serious s3 & 4 were pure 🔥 especially s4 thing started getting dark I don't want to spoil or over hype it but please give it another shot

big siah

Been recommending it legit for years it's been in a bunch of polls over the years but always falls short

big siah

But it's not tho and it's funny because wouldn't mashel literally be ripping Harry Potter Black clover and opm?

Zachary Jackson

S3 onward gets pretty great. the movie is worth watching too. I still have a fondness for season 1 and 2 but admit that outside of a few moments they aren't spectacular but i dont think they need to be.

big siah

It's actually like Danmachi which is made by same creator and black clover mixed

Bria A.

Me sitting over here reading that argument like, “Give me any DanMachi character and I could not guess who they’re supposed to be to save my life — except maybe the Hindu pantheon specifically because they’re designed to look Indian 😭”

Jake Coulter

Large majority of anime is generic lol. I’m here for the animation and they did the job.

Gordon Lou

it gets a lot better in season 3 and 4. Season 2 wasn't good because it was rushed b

Anthony Chase

It’s literally Toji but a child and I like that.

Kingslord

True most manga not that popular until anime debut. I think past 6 years. I believe only CSM manga was that popular

kai

he will never be asta but he cool

QuitaMa

We all agree about the vibes

Anthony Chase

Yeah honestly should have added context now that I reread it. I love characters that are the crème of the crop among assholes like the magic users. Mash trained for it but this kid is just raw.

rando

The visuals look cool but it was boring af

Kale

😭idk man the idea of bro doin this for a season is more than enough to keep me locked in

Xan Acktor

Ive been holding out hope for yall to watch danmachi after it basically won a poll. Ive been waiting years patently waiting staying a yearly member. Yall havent reacted to anything ive been personally interested in sense MiA season 2 and Vinland saga Season 2. Its time a take a break from this Parteon. Ill check back on yalls yt every now and then but i feel like yall have done a disservice to danmachi fans for to long and watching this just show first would be like Watching platnum end before Death Note. Im tired boss.

Seth Gilliam

The animation is what makes this shit for me. Im a simple guy, if the fight looks good I can enjoy it. With animation this good Im willing to put how I feel about the story on the back burner. That being said I don’t think the stories bad, it’s just about as basic/cliche as you can get with these “talentless MC” tropes.

FictionalAlarm

Animation was movie quality. And it's created by the guy who made DanMachi. I'm in.

Ace

Ignore the others this is cliche asf. No type of originality here

Jxviq

Na this so real I’ve been hoping they’d watch danmachi but I still fw these guys. Maybe they’ll be interested in danmachi after this🙏

muxakara!

i first thought of asta as soon i heard him say he cant use any magic. so yea pretty basic but it has a nice tone to it

muxakara!

asta got demon powers and thats it, take it away and this guy would pack eem up.

Maxis Holst

2:20mins in and is it just me or does he sound like -bell cranel- 4mins in and nevermind i got to ahead of myself 22mins in... yah ths guy is bell

Earphone Jack

Just watched this episode! EPIC!
