<p>Even though Wikipedia says 13 episodes, I have a gut feeling it ill be longer.</p>

<p>This is because the third episode was mainly a filler in many ways.</p>

<p>I think if the anime was 12-13 episode season or 24-25 season, there is no way they would have added a filler this early into the series.</p>

<p>So I'm thinking a good 50-60 episode series or it might even be like One Piece and Naruto a long running series.</p>

Yeah but 2nd episodes just elaborated on a cannon past so it technically is  not filler. Just a rearrangement of story from manga.

<p>According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Clover" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Wikipedia</a> it's 13 eps, <a href="https://myanimelist.net/anime/34572/Black_Clover_TV" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MAL</a> hasn't said anything and some say it's 50/51 eps.</p>

<p>Does anyone really know how many episodes the series is going to be? </p>

<p>Considering the slow pacing, I think it's going to be longer than 12/13 episodes... but I may be wrong.</p>

It's time slot, 18:25 on Tuesdays, suggests TV Tokyo wasn't planning it being a year long since most previous shows in that slot aired for three months with a couple being airing for six months.

The Wikipedia entry probably got updated from the Funimation site, which listed 13 eps.

According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Clover) it's 13 eps, [MAL](https://myanimelist.net/anime/34572/Black_Clover_TV) hasn't said anything and some say it's 50/51 eps.

Does anyone really know how many episodes the series is going to be?

Considering the slow pacing, I think it's going to be longer than 12/13 episodes... but I may be wrong.
