I was equally confused. Didn’t really know it had “seasons”, felt like one piece where they just kinda keep pumping out episodes.

Season… 2? The first one was like 150 episodes long?

It was. Read my reply to the top comment for a bigger explanation.

Black Clover’s “seasons” are weird, as the show is set up to air every week without interruption. It technically has 3 seasons consisting of 51 episodes (52 in S3) with a 4th that is 16 episodes. Yet, it is all part of the first continuous (technically there was a production delay due to COVID that resulted in a break but that’s an exception) “season” before they went on hiatus after having caught up to the manga and not wanting to make the same mistakes as FMA by making filler and deviating too far from the plot.
And that’s not even getting into the fact each 51 episode season includes multiple story arcs.

Thanks for the thorough explanation. From what I remember, the arcs definitely felt like different seasons, as someone who binge watched the whole thing. The last arc especially felt like a new season. Anyway, glad it’s finally coming back.
