Even after years of hiatus, Black Clover remains one of the most-watched anime on Netflix in 2024, proving that its popularity remains intact. A recent report from the platform revealed that the series secured sixth place among the most-watched anime last year, accumulating an impressive 138 million hours of viewing. This puts Black Clover ahead of current phenomena like Jujutsu Kaisen and Dandadan, demonstrating the charisma of Asta and his group around the world.

The series, which premiered in October 2017, had a successful run with 170 episodes before going on hiatus in March 2021. One of the reasons for the hiatus was the accelerated pace of production, which brought the anime closer to the manga.
Now, with plenty of original material available and the end of the story approaching, the time seems perfect for the triumphant return of Black Clover.
What can we expect from the return of Black Clover?
The next story arc is called Spade Kingdom Raid, and it promises to elevate the series to new heights. Considered one of the narrative's high points, this arc features exciting plot twists and the resolution of several previous arcs. Furthermore, Studio Pierrot, responsible for the animation, has been revamping its production to prioritize quality, which should result in more refined animation and fewer filler episodes.
It's worth remembering that Black Clover wasn't the only Pierrot production affected by pauses. Series like Boruto and Kingdom also faced similar challenges, but the studio seems to be reorganizing to deliver more consistent work. With Anime Japan 2025 approaching, it's possible we'll have news about the return of Asta and the Black Bulls soon.
