This week Joey the Anime Man and AkiDearest give their thoughts on the Anime adaptation of Shounen Manga Black Clover. Neither of them like it. They think the voice actor is annoying, the voice is like fingers scratching on a chalkboard. It's not just the voice acting that's bad; everything is predictable. Some people like it, and the duo think people who haven't seen a Shounen before might like it. But if you've seen other Shounen Anime then it's boring because you've seen it all before;  that's where the backlash is coming from. They don't know what went wrong though because the studio who made the Black Clover Anime has made a lot of great Shounen Anime adaptations. What do you think?

BTS' 'Fake Love' is everywhere at the moment and for Aki, she is surprised at how big K-Pop has become especially in the US. Joey also recognises how influential and powerful the internet is behind the success of K-Pop, but what does he think of the music itself?

Getting into K-Pop as an anime fan
