    The stage is "Harry Potter" and the character is "One Punch Man"

    Those who see this work will first see the "Harry Potter" work. To that extent, the stage of this work was taken directly from the stage of "Harry Potter." Sports, hats, capes, etc. That are given out during admission! This work very kindly tells us all about the characters' past and motivations through dialogue. There is no character explanation or directing, just "Ah!" "That person is that famous so-and-so." Ah... The only thing expected from the video production is action. The main character is the setting of the main story of "One Punch Man." The main character is so strong and dull that we just get away with it. So I have no expectations at all. It is a character from the "Harry Potter" stage and "One Punch Man," but there is something really disappointing about it. The directing is just action and the dialogue is just setting up the characters. If it had been directed a little more deeply, it would have been 8 points.

    Pretty average

    This is a combination of Harry Potter, One Punch Man, and Black Clover. Throw in some ultra goofiness and the power of friendship for a complete picture. If you're good with that it can be fun.

    The above stated, it does nothing new. That's not a problem if the familiar is well done, but it isn't. From the combat, quirkiness of the hero, villains introduced and friends found, it's all very much common and uninspired. There's some okay humor but it's exactly what you'd expect for anyone familiar with standard anime tropes.

    I hope there's more to this in the coming seasons, but as it stands right now Mashle is a forgettable experience.

    A Fun and Entertaining Shonen Anime with a Unique Twist

    The series follows Mash Burnedead, a young boy who possesses no magical abilities in a world where magic is everything. Despite this, Mash dreams of attending Magic High School, where he can learn to become a Wizard.

    The anime is a fun and lighthearted take on the shonen genre. Mash is a lovable protagonist who is always eager to fight for what he believes in. He is also incredibly strong, which makes for some exciting fight scenes. The supporting cast is also enjoyable, with characters like Lance, Dot, and Merle providing plenty of laughs.

    The animation in Mashle: Magic and Muscles is well-done, with fluid fight scenes and detailed character designs. The music is also catchy and upbeat. Overall, the anime is a fun and enjoyable watch that is sure to please fans of the shonen genre.

    However, the anime does have some flaws. The pacing can be a bit slow at times, and the story can be predictable. Additionally, some of the jokes fall flat.

    Overall, Mashle: Magic and Muscles is a 7/10 anime. It is a fun and lighthearted show with a likable protagonist and some exciting fight scenes. However, the pacing can be slow at times, and the story can be predictable.

    Here are some pros and cons of the anime:

    Pros:

    Fun and lighthearted shonen anime

    Lovable protagonist

    Exciting fight scenes

    Well-done animation

    Catchy music

    Cons:

    Pacing can be slow at times

    Story can be predictable

    Some jokes fall flat

    Overall, Mashle: Magic and Muscles is a solid anime that is sure to please fans of the shonen genre. If you are looking for a fun and lighthearted show with a bit of action, then I would recommend checking it out.

    Overall just missed for me

    Pros:
    • A lot of good action
    • Very clean, no sexual content at all


    Cons:
    • Jokes were overly repeated and not very funny to begin with
    • Overly copies Harry Potter, doesn't bring a lot of new material but does have some.


    • Character personality is fairly poor and quickly felt predictable. I didn't find myself very excited for any one individual to come on screen.


    • Every fight would be heavily interspersed with talking and flash backs which made things slow


    Overall I was just a little bored and found myself finishing more for the sake of checking off a box and finishing what I started than anything else. If you don't mind the heavy copying of Harry Potter and aren't too critical you may enjoy this one.

    Harry Potter of Harry Potter was a magicless meathead

    This anime is funny and entertaining and basically a parade of Harry Potter if it was an anime. From Quidditch to Draco Malfoy, it's basically mocking the entire magic school genre, with a main character with no magic, but instead of being an angsty, poor unfortunate outcast, he's a musclehead whose so dense he doesn't realise half the things happening around him, and the scenarios he ends up in because of it are simple hilarious.

    I'd recommend it, purely on its comedy chops, but the animation and voice acting are nothing to sneeze at either. I've only watched the dub, but the voice acting is also solid.

    I hope we get a 2nd season. I had a blast.
