Many people have a prejudice against anime, they feel that watching anime and being childish can be equated. The sentence I hear the most is: "You are so old and still watch cartoons!"
In fact, anime is the same as movies and novels, it is just the expression of the story. There are many nutritious, philosophical, and three-dimensional animations, such as "One Piece", "Natsume's Book of Friends", "Fairy Tail" and so on. And I was recently brought into the pit by the anime "Black Clover". This is a hot-blooded kingly animation, about the advanced road of a waste material who wants to break through the barriers of class.
The reason why I was brought into the pit is because of one sentence, the actor Ashtar said: "Even if I come from poverty, even if I am an abandoned child, I can become the Magic Emperor."
Really inspirational!
The background of "Black Clover" is a magical world. Everyone is proud of their magic power, and is divided into royal family, nobles, commoners, and pariahs according to the level of magic power. Living farther from the palace means more magic and status.
Maybe the author wants to highlight the difficulty of the male protagonist, and deliberately set the character of the male protagonist to be particularly sad: the male protagonist Asta is an orphan, abandoned in a small village on the border of the country, and has no magic power.
But he is such a diaosi, and he clearly has no magic and still dreams of becoming a magic emperor.
He wanted to prove to others that even if he was born in poverty, even if he was an abandoned child, he could become a magic emperor.
And he also wants to prove that he has no magic and can protect everyone in his own way, so that everyone will no longer be hungry and feel happy.

I don't know why, but "Black Clover" reminds me of the BBC documentary "Seven Years of Life" I saw before, which cruelly recorded the future development of children from different classes: a child from a wealthy family who watched the Financial Times since childhood, After growing up, they will still embark on the road of elites, and the next generation will also follow this trajectory, monopolizing the high-quality resources in the society; children from poor families still repeat the fate of their fathers and do their best to survive. Among the 14 children, only the ones admitted And read Oxford's counterattack.
The most fundamental reason is poverty. According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the physiological needs of the poor have not been met, because the poor must spend time thinking of ways to survive, and there is no time or capital to think about superfluous things. And "full, warm and lustful", the rich have met the basic needs of life, they can have time to think about other things, to satisfy their spiritual world.
Life is really cruel. But whose life is not half miserable and half happy? People work hard to be happy. So even if you know life is difficult, you have to work hard.
Maybe your efforts can't make you live like an aristocrat in your life, but you can always change from a "untouchable" to a "commoner", and let your children live a little better than yourself.
Generation after generation efforts should also allow your family to gradually become wealthy from poverty.

Anime gives people dreams. Everyone likes the story of Diaosi's counterattack.
Asta, the male protagonist of "Black Clover", does not have the ability to magic, so he can get the magic book of "Black Clover", and then he can control the sword of the demon and the sword of the old demon.
Therefore, a person's disadvantage may also become his advantage, and become the key to his bright life.
Although he envies that others can have magic, he has never given up hope. Others are using magic to do daily things, he is exercising, others are practicing control magic, and he is still exercising.
He uses actions to tell us that no matter what, we must do what we want to do and do what we want. So when the sword of controlling the demon and the sword of the old demon appeared in front of him, he could use his strong body to swing the sword.
He himself knew very well that his fighting style was "never give up". In the end, because of his strong body and never-give-up spirit, he was recognized by many people with high magic power in the Magic Knights.
This reminds me of a dialogue between Luffy and Kirby in "One Piece". When Kirby knew that Luffy's dream was to be the Pirate King, he exclaimed, "How is this possible!"
Luffy said: "It's not an impossible question, I think it's right to be, I'm determined to be One Piece, even if I have to fight and die for it, it doesn't matter."
So if you want to have an open life, you have to start preparing for it. Otherwise, when the opportunity comes, you won't be able to grasp it.

Noelle, the daughter of a royal family who is completely different from Ashtar, has powerful magic power, but she was mocked and scolded by her elder sisters because she could not control magic, which made her not want to face them.
It's like in real life, kids from wealthy families have their own troubles and hurdles to overcome.
When the arrogant Noelle came to the Bulldogs and met the male protagonist Asta, she was discriminated against at first because Asta was a pariah with no magic power. But because of Asta's perseverance that never gives up, I admire it.
And because she has participated in many battles with Ashtar, she has overcome her own difficulties and awakened her offensive magic under the influence of Ashtar's many language incentives and actual combat. No longer afraid of the discrimination of brothers and sisters, and even say things that the royal family will not say:
"Yes, I am a royal family, the most powerful family in this country, so I should help others. Those who are high above others and despise others are things that only people with an empty heart will do."
"No matter what kind of royal family, nobles, commoners, or pariahs he is, let's enjoy the grand event together."
People will become stronger because of others, and they will also make themselves more lovable and considerate of others because of others.

Many people commented that the anime "Black Clover" is too routine and the story is too cliché. Both the plot setting and ability setting can remind you of other animes. It 's like a hybrid of "Fairy Tail" plus "Magi" plus " My Hero Academia " plus "Naruto" plus "The Seven Deadly Sins".
I like and recommend this anime because of its positive energy and positive motivation of values.
There is an old saying that life is great because of dreams.
We just need to be like Ashtar, find what we want to do, persevere, work hard, strive for steady progress, and devote our most ardent enthusiasm to this goal.
Speaking responsibly, it is very likely that you will fail, but your enthusiasm will make you grow very steadfastly and steadfastly!
Many times we complain about the injustice of life and the suffering of fate. No matter what your background or ability is, you can give up on anyone in life, but never give up on yourself.
We must believe that there is always a gap between ideals and reality. Fortunately, there is still a gap. Otherwise, who would care about ideals?
