Anime Shows Every Fan Of Black Clover Needs To See
By RAFAEL MOTAMAYOR
Mashle
Like "Black Clover," "Mashle: Magic and Muscles" is an anime about a kid who can't use his powers in a world full of magic users. It's also a funny "Harry Potter" parody.
Much of the comedy and plot involves Mashle being so physically strong that he appears magical to everyone else. The show also hides poignant commentary about discrimination.
My Hero Academia
"My Hero Academia" is set in a world where 80% of people have powers. Deku, a young kid born without them, is chosen as the successor to Japan's top pro hero.
A big part of the show's appeal is the idea of being a superhero as a profession and how sponsorship deals and celebrity status could affect them.
Hunter x Hunter
"Hunter x Hunter" is unlike any other action shonen as it explores different genres to the point where every story arc feels like an entirely different show.
Part of what makes the show special is its compelling and memorable ensemble of characters. Though Gon is the viewer's eyes in the world, he's never the story's center.
One Piece
One of the most renowned anime ever made, "One Piece" follows Monkey D. Luffy and his crew's search for the show's eponymous legendary treasure.
"One Piece" uses action and silly gags to tackle serious issues like bigotry. The show stands out thanks to its unique look and vast world with a detailed history and mythology.
Naruto
Considered one of "The Big Three," "Naruto" follows a young boy with a demon trapped inside him who wishes to become a great ninja and his village's Hokage.
Fans of "Black Clover" will recognize many familiar elements here, such as the protagonists' personalities, rivalries, stories of friendship, and their individual determination.
