What Happened to Black Clover's Art Style?

[@ShonenOuji]

How would you describe Black Clover’s art style? How does it compare to other styles?

[@2triedforthis830]

Can you do hxh art style, I remember ppl being pretty upset abt it as the series went on

[@jayveeruzforce2322]

I love it, Definitely Top 10 Manga Artstyle

[@BlurBlizzard]

I kinda prefer the art style during the elf arc over the current art style. The characters are more simplified, most likely because its easier for tabata.

[@Grayson-Winchester]

Black clover art style was always really gorgeous for me. In the beginning it looked like a fairy tail book in manga fashion. Later it became more raw due to the characters getting stronger in the series.

[@ZackSNetwork]

Meh disagree with that one.

[@superbeanx2]

Do you mean fairy tale?

[@2tecci333]

Bro gorgeous is crazy😂 it was just normal not great not bad mid

[@certifiedboylover2546]

Black clover's art is one of the most consistent artstyle I've seen from beginning to end

[@Kaybee29523]

i may not be the biggest fan of black clover but the art is one of the best ive seen in a shonen series

[@namaenomore7831]

I’m big fan of black clover but I dont really like the early character art😂 (or at least the color pages)

Yuki Tabata’s art is one of my favorite manga art. I love how beautiful his drawings look.

[@jackalexande]

Naruto also has very beautiful spreads

[@magnus_artifex]

Gotta love someone finally talking about Tabata. The three things that I love about the art are the effects, character designs and as you mentioned, angles. My favorite artist, almost.

[@24kOwlz]

Black Clover is by far my favourite manga and amine series, complete perfection.

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Congrats on 15K Ouji and I think Tabata has refined his art over the years to a high degree for character design and especially with his double page spreads and backgrounds are killer

[@ShonenOuji]

Thank you Sam!!!

[@smirg2975]

I love the way Black Clover looks now!

[@rhysbailey8406]

In some of the final arcs chapters, Tabatas level of sperpective becomes shockingly good. Every chapter I feel like he’s holding back somewhat to save his best stuff for the really significant moments. However 😊every time those moments hit, the art is so good, it makes it completely worth the wait, specially with the double page spreads.

[@cobyphantom4447]

Black clovers art style is one of my favorites as well

[@nghiemxuanminh2459]

YOU HIT THE NAIL WHY I LOVE BLACK CLOVER ART MAN

[@Hikarisuzuki14]

Black Clover is my top 1 manga anime I loved the art style since day 1 it's so beautiful and detaild the characters design are awesome beautiful and easy to look at ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@yellow-vo8pn]

Black clovers art style feels like its grown into modern shonen in a good sense. Please talk about Blue Lock's art evolution next pls

[@fawazfaruqui5198]

gotta love Tabata mastering the use of colors in general, especially emphasizing the use of black and grey that still give the general idea of what color they're supposed to be in the story, even they're just black and white images in the more literal sense

[@Charle_Z]

Black Clover’s art style is definitely one of my fave art styles out of all new gen series

[@forgettableotaku]

a manga that i love to just look at how the art changes is yugioh. if you look at chapter one next to the last chapter they look completely different and if yugi didn't have that iconic and distinct hair you could easily not realise they are the same series and artist.

[@mangohead8606]

I haven't watched the anime, but this video encouraged me to read the manga

[@immulti2691]

tabata said in a Q+A that Charmy and Asta are his favourite to draw and it really shows

[@dominikamimari427]

The main thing I love about black clover is the art style Yuki tabata is so talented and detailed with his mangas and people say horikoshi has the best art style huh?? Plus the way he draw his demons and dark theme is 😍 so magnificent!

[@milicabojic9434]

These vids are your best ones yet. Excited for the next one. Undead Unluck would be great 🎉

[@ShonenOuji]

Thank you so much! And undead Unluck is definitely on the list.

[@Flam9727]

great video! While there is a lot more white space in recent chapters (pre jump giga) i'd say that has it's own merits aswell. Similar to bleach it can often be used to really drive focus onto the characters actions making certain moments bolder and can really make the detailed backgrounds that do appear that much impactful. I think a good example of this can be julius getting stabbed by licht and when he falls to the ground the background emerges.

[@niltendo8664]

great video, and i love the nier music you put there

[@sofyanjamal4980]

Black clover art style is very beautiful, the best new gen in my opinion

[@manuelesparesiii6825]

There is a slight changes in the quality of drawings of Tabata Sensei when after Lucius introduction where there is 3 months break. There is more quality to the line art and he draws more background compared in the middle era of art style of Black Clover. Overall i like the line arts the weight of lines and the variations of thickness.

[@kristoffaudain9478]

black clover's art style was one of the things that got me hooked on the story

[@spalex9271]

The fight scenes especially are one of the best in all shonen in my opinion . They are always full of detail and satisfying to read , i really love how full of greys the panels are and the characters always have blood and other signs of being hurt

[@keltoncino8420]

The art on the latest chapter is magnificent

[@jayveeruzforce2322]

Amazing analysis. Really comes in handy if ur an artist like me too 🔥

[@GMYSTERYICTNF]

It's amazing how Tabata has merged Western Fairy Tail art style and Anime art style to create the manga.

[@lzenonx]

i kinda miss the more detailed art and the sharp nose, eyes and chin style. also i think tabatas art peaked at the elf reincarnation arc, the art in that arc was just too beautiful but the art is still very good the new more rounded face and eyes style is just as good imo

[@Knight_fury47]

Fun fact: Tabata modeled Charmy after his wife (her personality that is) i think he said it feels weird when i write charmy cos it's like I'm writing my wife(I'm paraphrasing)

[@Tarnished5Leaf]

Great vid 😀

[@tinodollas4146]

Love Black Clover

[@Btd-Marc]

When I watched the anime the fights used to suck, but when I saw movements with sick moves. The animation definitely changed a lot

[@motokavsvlog7737]

Black Clover has a top tier art style.

[@wolf-zinstinct3655]

Kind of thought that you'd have considered the first giga chapter as the start of a new stage for his art.

[@MrXwingzerox]

Can you do undead unlucks art?

[@fuffythegreat]

Black clover is the only series that i think has better villain designs than bleach.

[@Itadori-yuji-222]

Oh no the bleach meatriders ain't gonna let this slide

[@RuiSen1]

As a Bleach fan I'd say theres a few more but I agree

[@fuffythegreat]

@@RuiSen1 Actually yeah I take that back, the major villains of black clover look crazy phenomenon but upon a bit of rereading I saw characters like the 8 generals of the diamond kingdom, and the dark disciples look very meh. The fracciones and lesser arrancar all have good designs. Kubo a walking W as always.

[@RuiSen1]

@@fuffythegreat To be fair, the villains that do look cool look amazing, like Licht, the Elves and most definitely the Devils. But then we got characters like Ulquiorra and the other espadas

[@fuffythegreat]

Yeah not to mention the sternritters (except for nanana😭). Jugram and Bazz B could low key be a kpop duo 😂.

[@ninxq11]

One of the things I think people also overlook is tabata's use of black, I think the only ones better than him in jump are kubo and ishida

[@BeastBoy557]

Tabata and Hori are definitely the best artists of new gen shonen

[@namaenomore7831]

the character changes might not have even been that consious, the newer designs align more with the anime so he either wanted to lean on that or the character designs changed in his mind while spending more time with the anime

[@hireathecho4]

This is a really nice analysis! A bit of feedback, I wish you would show less of your chibi character, and show more of the manga art instead. It’s a bit jarring to be looking closely at manga art and then cut to your character for long stretches of time

[@wolf-zinstinct3655]

If I had to guess, I'd say he's trying to avoid copyright strikes.

[@konabos747]

Sakamoto Days?

[@Kallakig]

Hey Ouji can you reccomend me a manga for yt vid?

[@merkize5861]

I love black clover but you can't really use background as reference for art style sense assistants do that

[@beatrixkaelin5120]

Here's a Fun fact that you won't recognize right away. Black Clover is Very much like Bleach. In Bleach, the Art Style shifted just as much. The In the start Backgrounds were well detailed, character designs starting rounded and slowly taking shape over time. Major shifts being between The First two arcs (Karakura and Rukia rescue), the next two (Heuco Mundo and Fake Karakura town), and then to the end (Lost Shinigami Representative and Thousand Year Blood War). In the first two, Detail is evenly spaced on character and background, And as each progresses, more and more focus is on the characters, with areas in the second arc being all in an artificial building and desert and the skies above town., and the last two having a lot more blank back grounds because the focus is on the movement and action, extreme detail on character expressions, and clear art shifts between serious and funny moments.

[@terrellrobinson1852]

Do you think the anime will return?

[@Angras_advocate18]

Can u please make some type-moon content it’s the strongest franchise in fiction with their base abilities giving them irrelevant speed. & my power scaling subscriptions r all the proof we need, my other subs also prove it has the best written characters in anime. Like generic anime channels shirou vid, it’s billion$ budget & ufotable even came together to give us peak animation of any year they drop

when i heard it was being called the worst shonen i avoided this series but then i saw some of its art i gave it a shot and boy was it a blast i wouldn't have like black clover this much if not for the art

[@swiggydswirl330]

You don't have to be an expert in a field to judge something. People tend to go way overboard with their hate, but, it doesn't take a food connoisseur to know when something tastes bad

[@fatman1498]

@@swiggydswirl330 right but an expert opinion usually leads with critique followed by solution if not multiple. On average someone without the expertise don’t leave anything but hate and it’s a lot of that around. So I’m saying yea you have your right to judge but before you check and see if you could do any better. It ain’t easy being the one doing it but it’s a cakewalk to judge it.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Black Clover is one of the only manga that I’ve only watched the anime, usually don’t watch an anime until after I’ve read the manga. netfix just got the anime here and I’ve had it on in the background as I read, I never realised how bad the animation is, I never noticed when I first watched it, but it’s absolutely terrible.
