Mashle: Mash Burnedead to Fushigi na Tegami

I am writing this review because I don't think the other reviews provide reasonable thoughts about the episode and are unreasonably negative. This is a recap episode for the first arc of Mashle in the form of a letter written by Mash to Regro. Most of the episode is reused scenes from the first six episodes, but everything new in the episode is of the same quality of the rest of the show. This episode is completely skippable but is just as good as any other episode. Some people were disappointed when the show was airing that this recap episode aired, delaying episode 7 until ... the next week. The recap perfectly sets up the next arc of Mashle. This is almost just another episode, but it does not progress the story at all, so I'm giving it a slightly lower rating than i gave the main show. 8.5/10

So, first and foremost, I absolutely love this show, it's refreshing, it's funny, it's just an overall joy to watch.
However, this special in particular is nothing but filler, the worst kind of filler, that is just copy pasted replays of previous episode highlights.
That's all it is, it doesn't add a new perspective, it doesn't add a new story, it's a replay, that's it.
Now anime studio's do this all the time, the gripe I have with this however is that we are only 6 episodes in, which means this is beyond milking it.
It's not worth your time to watch, it's literally a recap of the couple ... of episodes you've seen for the past few weeks, the only episodes that have been released so far.
If the animators needed to take a break in the meantime then it would've been better for them to just release nothing, instead of this..

I usually divide my reviews in different categories for the shows such as plot, characters, art, etc however I feel it is useless to do so in this title since it is a recap episode and I did that on my review for the main page on MAL for "Mashle". I will keep this review short listing just a few good points as well as bad points on it.

The only positives I can find in this underwhelming recap is that it is not simply a mashup of old scenes, although it still is in it's majority they make a couple of new scenes regarding Mash's ... granpa and make the recap be some sort of point of view through a letter Mash sent to him so it gives a sense of cohesion to it instead of it feeling massively out of place.

On the other hand this recap has nothing of value to offer the viewer, recaps themselves are at their core filler content and much less valuable to a viewer than a normal episode, however certain recaps in my opinion are of some use and excusable in a context of refreshing the viewers memory to events in previous season especially when a new season is announced and the previous season aired a while ago, but sadly, this recap in specific doesn't fit this niche use of recap episodes since for some odd reason it was decided to make a recap of only the first six episodes of the season instead of the entirety of the season making this recap basically useless and not worth watching under any circumstance unless for the sake of saying you watched it.

P.S. I know this recap was most likely made in order to give extra time for the studio to perfect the future episodes but this review is made with the viewer in mind and not the animators.
