Mashile: Muscles and Magic

Overview

This is a world of magic. This is a world in which magic is casually used by everyone. In a deep, dark forest in this world of magic, there is a boy who is singlemindedly working out. His name is Mash Burnedead, and he has a secret. He can’t use magic. All he wanted was to live a quiet life with his family, but people suddenly start trying to kill him one day and he somehow finds himself enrolled in Magic School. There, he sets his sights on becoming a “Divine Visionary,” the elite of the elite. Will his ripped muscles work against the best and brightest of the wizarding world? The curtain rises on this off-kilter magical fantasy in which the power of being jacked crushes any spell!

My thoughts

Is this the anime version of Harry Potter? It has so many similarities, but the show overall is a lot goofier and funnier than Harry Potter is. The main character has an odd obsession with cream puffs, and the side characters have individual personality, which a lot of shows like this seem to struggle with, for some odd reason. The animation is also very clean, and it has a very clear plot line. The show kept me interested in every episode I’ve watched. Another plus is that I could understand why each villain did what they did, instead of the typical random.

Rating 5/5
