Personally, if someone were to ask me what Pierrot shows have I seen I would have no answer...yet all of my favorite childhood manga have been adapted by them. Along with the works of Toei Animation, Pierrot is the other half of my childhood. Shows like Naruto and Bleach were staples in my early manga reading days. Pierrot Animation along with Toei Animation I have notice the immense change of the shows that may have started to been animated in the 80s to 90s to more modern and fluid looking now in the 21st century.

It is pretty amazing that a studio can make these shows and I can have memories of them but not know the studio's name. In a way it shows to me how dedicated they are to the craft and not care too much of the publicity. They just make solid animations that everyone can enjoy. And with their latest show Black Clover the legacy continues of amazing shows.

Prior to Naruto Uzumaki's birth, a huge demon known as the Kyuubi, the Nine-Tailed Fox, attacked Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf Village, and wreaked havoc. In order to put an end to the Kyuubi's rampage, the leader of the village, the Fourth Hokage, sacrificed his life and sealed the monstrous beast inside the newborn Naruto. Now, Naruto is a hyperactive and knuckle-headed ninja still living in Konohagakure. Shunned because of the Kyuubi inside him, Naruto struggles to find his place in the village, while his burning desire to become the Hokage of Konohagakure leads him not only to some great new friends, but also some deadly foes.
