Black Clover is a unique case in the shonen world. While it has a reputation for "slow pacing" early on, the actual percentage of pure filler (episodes not in the manga) is surprisingly low (around 8-9%). However, the anime does suffer from canon padding —stretching manga scenes into long recaps or reaction shots. 1-28, 30-65, 67, 69-101, 103-119, 123-133, 137-140, 149
