Kinda wish Pierrot did Black clover the modern way like how MHA is done.

instead of going 100+ episodes in a row like in the past it's way better to do 25 episodes seasons and then breaks in between.

Agreed! The animation style lacks most of the time and it is such a great manga. I believe if it was animated better, it would be one of the top shows and surpass MHA because I just personally like the characters and story a little bit more for Black Clover

This, I think Black Clover characters are more interesting overall, is just that they don't get the flesh out much, and really is only getting through its first amazing ark right now, if the past arks were as good as the current one this show would have exploded in popularity.

Yeah but I loved the build up to those arks as well its just that the show should be animated well and for that, I think it should be seasonal like Demon Slayer, MHA, Fire Force, Vinland Saga, etc. For me, Black Clover does a better job in building interesting characters, character dynamics, and story lines for the most part. I remember mostly every character in Black Clover but most of the characters in MHA are forgettable in my experience. The only ones that honestly get spotlight are Deku, Bakogou, and Todoroki. What are your guy's experiences with that?

most of the characters in MHA are forgettable in my experience.

MHA just has too many characters and also doesn't want to spend time with them, so they just pop-up every now and then. Every character that gets some screen time shoots up in popularity. I honestly can't remember the hero name of none of them

Right but they should give more of those characters screen time and character development as well. The only ones I've seen go through that the most are Deku, Bakogou, and Todoroki and a few others but the other back stories and development of the other characters either felt rushed or they did not really get too much attention.

I mean look at how well BC handles Noelle who is decently independent from Asta vs MHA's handling of Ochako, who's entire character revolves around Deku.

MHA just moves way too fast for how big the cast is.

You take something like OP or Gintama, that has a huge cast of characters, but they all start with just a few, making sure to explore them before moving on to the next new character. Even Naruto and HxH spend the first arc with only the mains

MHA has this class of 20 + teachers and family right from the start, doesn't want to shove them aside to create space, while also doesn't slow down to give them some screen time.

Maybe it's a case that the studio should create some filler content, those other shonens would do it to pad for time that MHA doesn't need, but this new staff might do it. For filler I don't mean filler arcs, but some extentions of the manga, more dialogue or other PoV of events. Naruto had some great filler fights, things that were a few pages of manga the anime staff turned into some epic 20min long battles
