One Piece was my first anime I ever watched, and this astonishing creation inspired me to work harder and build new friendships. The show highlights the importance of friendships and perseverance, two valuable words which I hope to have in my adventures in High School

(P.S, new episodes come out every Saturday at 9PM) (The new episodes are a must watch!)

Black Clover, a fantasy adventurous world where magic is everything. Two orphaned boys, Asta and Yuno, are raised together in a small church at Little Hage Village. Even though Asta was born without magical abilities, he was determined to become the Wizard King, the highest rank wizard in the country, the greatest man ever! Asta knew from a young age that he would be the Wizard King! When they turn 15, both boys receive a grimoire, a magical book which allows the user to cast unique spells. Yuno obtains the best grimoire given to humans, the four leaf clover, a symbol of great magic power, while Asta receives the five leaf grimoire, the useless grimoire with no magical power. Asta trained 10x as hard as before, increasing his physical strength while practicing to be a swordsman. Determined to prove himself, and become the Wizard King, Asta joins a group of powerful wizards, who are known throughout the country to have destructive behavior, the Black Bulls, led by captain Yami. Asta learns many new skills throughout his time with the Black Bulls, and he eventually embarks on dangerous missions and battles dangerous enemies. As Asta vastly increases his strength, Yuno grows even stronger and becomes extremely skilled in using magic, with their hard working skills and determination, both boys become power wizards and fight to defend their kingdom from powerful and dangerous enemies.

Black clover changed my mind-set about motivation and determination. It taught me that motivation is useless without discipline, motivation will only take you 1% of the way, while discipline and determination will take you 110% of the way. It taught me you must win, whatever it takes, and keep calm with a clear head.
