Black Clover: la spada dell'Imperatore magico

It's a black clover non-canon movie, so you get pretty much exactly what you'd expect.

The movie's story is pretty mediocre. It doesnt really create any major plot holes and is self contained, but it doesn't do anything good either. It is just very basic, with quite a bit of bland and stupid dialogue, but it at least doesn't hurt to watch.

The action is what you should really come for. The movie starts with a battle, and pretty much continues with them all the way through. Powerscaling wise, some of them are a more than a bit questionable, but personally, I didn't find it distracting from the fun you get in return.

Lastly, the animation is decent enough. It's a movie, so of course a lot of the fights will look pretty good, but don't expect anything mind-numbingly amazing. There is quite a bit of CGI used in this movie (especially for backgrounds), but it's still okay, and it doesnt affect the major fights. I'd say the animation isn't at the level of the best black clover episodes, but it is definitely very enjoyable. Again, compared to other modern anime movies, it's pretty okay.

Overall, this movie is fun to watch if you go into it without expecting a deep, compelling story or fights reaching new heights in the industry. You will not be blown away, but it's good fun.
