Black Clover season 5 is creating buzz among fantasy anime fans. The news come out from the official production house right after the season 4 premiere in March 2021 and now fans are impatiently waiting for another installment of Black Clover.
The adventure fantasy anime television series is directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara and Ayataka Tanemura, written by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu and Kanichi Katou, and produced by Pierrot animation Studio(known for Bleach new season, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Tokyo Ghoul).
Based on the Japanese manga adaptation of the same name written and illustrated by Yuki Tabata, the series follows a young orphan named Asta who is born without magical powers in the new world and aims to become the next wizard king.
When is the next season of black clover?
No, there will be no season 5 of Black Clover because the fourth season was confirmed to be the last season of the series. After that, no official announcements have been made regarding the release of any new season.
However, a Black Clover movie has been confirmed by the creators and is set to release in 2023. We will be able to see the adaptation of almost 20 remaining chapters in the latest film.
Where to watch Black Clover?
Black Clover all previous seasons are available to stream on Netflix.
Why was Black Clover cancelled?
Black Clover anime was cancelled after season 4 due to lack of manga material. The manga is having a total of 301 chapters, out of which 171 chapters have been already adapted into four seasons. It seems that the manga is left with 30 chapters which are not enough to produce a new season. Our hopes are up because manga is still ongoing.
Moreover, drop in manga sales is another season behind the show’s cancellation. The 27th volume come out in Jan 2021 but the manga sales doesn’t even cross the 20 million mark after its release till March 2021 and even today in April 2022, the manga has sold 17 million copies. However, the show’s revival depends on the mood of creators and they can bring a new season out of nowhere but chances of renewal are pretty slim.
That’s why the show makers decided to make a movie instead. This film will figure out if the anime deserves renewal or not. If they will get sufficient achievement with the movie then we will be able to see Black Clover season 5 otherwise just go to sleep.
How many seasons of Black Clover are there?
Currently, Black Clover anime is having four seasons which are available to stream on Funimation and Adult Swim. In terms of episodes, 170 episodes are available. Two seasons are having 51 episodes, third season is having 52 episodes while the fourth season is having only 16 episodes with an average runtime of 23 minutes.
