Black Clover’s return is close enough for episode-one previews.

ComicBook reports that the official anime site released images and a synopsis for the premiere. Final Weapon also published an advance episode review, disclosing that Crunchyroll provided access. A review appearing now does not mean the season is already streaming.

Why anime feeds care: the television story is returning after a five-year gap, picking up its unfinished adventure. The newcomer version: Asta is the determined hero of a fantasy battle series. The returning-viewer version: this is a good moment for a recap, before October 3 turns into “wait, who was that?”
