As we all very well know, Black Clover is notorious amongst anime fans for a number of not so good reasons. The writing is cliched, the VA screams too much, and the anime's production quality is quite horrible at times. It's the last part that keeps many people justifiably away from the series still, even when the VA and the writing have improved (subjectively of course).

The problem with the production quality arises due to a number of reasons:

The production of the show started very late. It has a special section of Pierrot working on it and they were busy with Twin Star Exorcists up till April 2017, just 5-6 months before the premiere of Black Clover.

Pierrot was already busy with multiple other projects when they were tasked to handle Black Clover. This meant that most of their staff were busy elsewhere and could not join Black Clover. Furthermore, the very short period of time they were allowed for pre-production meant that the small number of people working on the show had to rush and take on multiple tasks immediately in order to meet the deadline.

With a looming deadline and lots of work, the staff ended up being busy with what they had and could not recruit the staff they needed. This ultimately led to the existing staff finding the task too much to handle, resulting in the show imploding. The director himself apologized for his failure at the start of this year, with the blame actually lying on the producers (Shueisha, TV Tokyo, and Avex) who had put the staff in such a situation.
