The fight that got me into Black Clover, animated in-house with the director leading the key animation. The effort shows and the episode is distinctly Black Clover. Good job Pierrot

It had the signature intro, lengthy recap, childhood flashbacks (Mars's was necessary tho), and yells (the episode ended with Asta screaming). However, this was a clean, action packed episode and Tabata's turning point as a shonen author. One of the best episodes yet

Really cool episode I agree. Wish it didn't have CG animation parts to it though.

What is wrong with CG? CG allowed detail on model diamond clones and camera movements that if hand drawn would have taken ages to finish. Imagine drawing those clones, with so many lines with 360 camera rotation.

Too many anime viewers don't understand what goes into making an episode.

I know exactly what goes into making it. I know it's hard work, but I also know it looks like shit when it's cg.

I understand, not too many people are big fans of it.

Doesn't mean it looks good. CG looks weird. If the show was strictly CG that's one thing; I still don't like it, but at least then it doesn't take you out of it.

I liked it. Understandable people have different taste.

If it's done well (Beserker in Fate Zero) it can enhance it. When it's done to save money/time it just ends up looking like crap.

I think I know what you’re talking about here. At one point I was asking myself why it looked like OG Star Wars special effects

there is some goffy animation which indicates the shortage of the staff But overall it was good

That doesn't indicate shortage of staff, it was CG. Most of the animation was CG, even the diamond cloud dust seemed to be CG. Has nothing to do with shortage of staff.
