All I want to say is that I would take Asta any day of the week over Simon Snow. Seriously, they are both magically challenged orphans who have cool wings, and Simon even used to have a cool sword. He didn’t dual wield, of course, because the Carry On series isn’t cool like that.
I case you accuse me of choosing a very unflattering image of Mr. Snow, there is hardly any fanart of him in a dynamic pose.
Imagine soft boi Harry Potter with Asta’s handicap without the drive to improve. And instead of Liebe he has racism against nonhumans and hates his dragon features he got as a consequence of magic gone wrong.
Reminds me of people arguing over if Gear 5 is more iconic than Ultra Instinct in a way.
Bruh I think that Blood Meridian is more Iconic than Carry On at this point.
If I had a child I would rather they read Black Clover over Carry On because Asta will inspire them to work hard to reach their goals despite their limitations while Simon Snow will inspire them to be complacent and want a vampire boyfriend.
Read the manga, had a great time! Not my favorite but it made me think of how few stories for teenagers made in the US and UK have the same qualities and appeal as shounen battle anime.
Did you enjoy it? I don’t feel like I would be into it but idk, sometimes I can be surprised lol
Yeah what is popular is very different in what stories get told compared to what we get over here, and it sucks because I really love some stories that get told in manga and anime
At this point if I wanna get real contreversial, I could say that Shin Getter Robo is better than Evangelion. It is a fact that EVA cobtains 0% Nagare Ryouma.
