Mashle is a hit comedy-fantasy anime released in 2023. This is an anime like Black Clover, One Punch Man, and Harry Potter combined.

The MC of this show, Mash, is exactly like Asta. In a world where everyone is capable of magic, he is not. So, he trains his body to the point he can beat anyone with pure muscles.

But after revealing his true talents for magic he got on the good side of the students and grew close to their hearts.

And what’s more, Glen and his students Sistine and Rumia, gets caught in the evil scheme of the Nefarious forces hidden within the empire’s wall.

What’s similar?

Firstly, the wide variety of magic. Both Black Clover and Akashic Records of a Bastard Magical Instructor have all sorts of magic like fire, water, wind, etc.

Another part about this anime that makes it similar to Black Clover is the fact that there are villains who use magic to create chaos, and also that the protagonist can negate magic around him.


10. The Legend Of The Legendary Heroes

The Legend Of The Legendary Heroes

MAL Score: 7.72

Episodes: 24

Aired: Jul 2, 2010 to Dec 17, 2010 

This is an anime like Black Clover in terms of the main characters.

“Alpha stigma” bearers, are mages who can analyze and use all kinds of magic.

However they are despised and hunted by the people as they are believed to be only capable of death and destruction.

Ryner Lute, a talented mage and an alpha stigma bearer who has sworn to make the country peaceful, journeys along with Ferris Eris, a talented swordswomen, in order to find all the legendary hero relics.

What’s similar?

The main characters of both the anime are out-casts.

Both the anime have similar adventurous feel.


9. World Trigger

World Trigger - Anime Like Black Clover

MAL Score: 7.65

Episodes: 73

Aired: Oct 5, 2014 to Apr 3, 2016

If you decide to watch this anime, then do me a favor and watch it in Sub. Because the English dub is an absolute trash. It just ruins the reputation of the anime. It’s an abomination that should have never existed. So, yeah. Watch the sub.

Now that I’ve got that out of my lungs, let’s move on to the usual summary.

In a world where war goes on between humans and creatures from another dimension, called the “neighbors”, the last hope for humanity is the Border Defense Agency, who uses special weapon called “triggers” to fight off the enemy.

Osamu Mikumo is a trainee BDA agent who gets caught in the invasion of a neighbor and is forced to fight them with his low grade trainee gears.

While he was having a tough time with the aliens, the transfer student Yuuma Kuga makes short work of the aliens, shortly later revealing the fact that he was one of the Neighbors.

What’s similar?

While there’s no concept of magic in World Trigger, the use of “triggers” to gain special and unique abilities is kind of similar to the magical abilities displayed in Black Clover.

Similar to the captains of the magic knights in Black Clover, there are extremely powerful S rank agents int World Trigger who lead units.


8. UQ Holder!: Mahou Sensei Negima! 2

UQ Holder Anime Like Black Clover

MAL Score: 7.15

Episodes: 12

Aired: Oct 3, 2017 to Dec 19, 2017

The story takes place in the future world where magic is commonly used by everybody.

She reveals the truth about their “true nature” (i.e. how they can’t die) and then they decide to go to the UQ.Holder – a group of immortals who work in the name of justice.

It has interesting characters, decent plot, funny moments and ofcourse quiet a few fan service moments.


7. Soul Eater

Soul Eater

MAL Score: 8.01

Episodes: 51

Aired: Apr 7, 2008 to Mar 30, 2009 

In a fantastical world, filled with all sorts of mystical creatures, it is the job of “Death Scythes” to keep them in check.

Soul Evans, a demon scythe from the Death Weapon Meister Academy, aims to become the Death Scythe by devouring 99 evil spirits and 1 witch’s soul along with the help of his wielder Maka Albarn.

(Okay, I’m saying this anime is like Black Clover purely based on the “feelings” that I got while watching both the series. So, I can’t logically explain what part of Soul Eater is similar to Black Clover, but you’ll just have to trust me on this one.)


6. Hunter X Hunter

Hunter X Hunter - anime like black clover

MAL Score: 9.12

Episodes: 148

Aired: Oct 2, 2011 to Sep 24, 2014 

Hunter X Hunter is one of the top rated Shounen anime ever to ever exist.

It follows the adventures of Gon, a 12-year old boy, who’s dream is to become an official hunter just like his dad (whom he has never even seen before.)

He sets off to take the Hunter examination, which is held once a year to officially select the Hunters. Along the way, he meets his future friends Kurapika, Leorio and Killua.

They go through the trials and tribulations of the hunter exam together and develop a strong bond between them.

The Hunter examination arc is really interesting, but his adventures has only just begun. He faces several perilous situations along with his friends, and faces off against the world’s worst criminals, the Phantom troupe.

If you’re in for some mind blowing adventure anime, then HxH is just the thing for you!

The very fact that this is a Shounen anime, makes it similar to Black Clover. Both the protagonist pursue their dream, fight with criminals and protect what is precious to them.

Radiant is a classic Shounen anime. This anime has a lot of similarity to Black Clover in terms of its strengths and its weaknesses. Both Black Clover and Radiant are critisized for their cliches and “unoriginality.”

But there are quite a few people who love such cliched moments and watch the anime only for the feels, like you and me. I mean, if you’re even reading this article, then you must’ve liked Black Clover, right? I for one, love it!

“Radiant” is fabled to be the source of monstrous creatures called “Nemesis” that fall from the sky and destroy towns. Sorcerers are the only ones who can fight the Nemesis, as the normal humans die when they come in contact with a Nemesis.

However Sorcerers are despised by people and are treated like trash and are even hunted by the Inquisition.

Seth, an aspiring sorcerer dreams of becoming a great sorcerer and destroying Radiant, so that he could stop this discrimination that prevails and bring forth a peaceful future.

What’s similar?

Both Asta and Seth have very similar personalities.

The plot and the world expansion in both the anime are similar.

Like Asta, Seth has a dream that he wants to realize. That is to bring peace to the world by destroying the Radiant.

That’s it! These were some of the best anime like Black clover. Hope you liked this post, and see you in the next one. Laterz~
