Shows that feel likeBlack Clover (2017–)

Asta and Yuno are two orphans who want the same thing: to become the Wizard King. Locked in a friendly rivalry, they work hard towards their goal. While Yuno excels at magic, Asta has a problem uncommon in this world: he has no powers! But, on the day they receive their grimoires, they surprise everyone. To reach their goal, they’ll each find their own path to greatness—with or without magic.

If you loved Black Clover, the closest series we have are Cardcaptor Sakura (1998), The Legend of Korra (2012) and Fairy Tail (2009). All three share Black Clover's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Kaiju No. 8 (2024).
