Boy was this disappointing.
And the writing where he asks why he isn't taught magic only when he's an adult like he was drooling while lifting his entire childhood.

Incredible first episode, I laughed and excited. It seems to me a mix of several works (Harry Potter, One Punch Man, Black Clover...) and it's great. It has captivated me. A world where if you can't handle magic you must die... Very interesting.

It's nice to see a (non-Isekai) fantasy anime with good comedy and Mash was really funny. 
Overall, it seems this one has a pretty slow pace - but in a good way. 

I hope I will like the school and classmates too, as it seems to be the main setting.

I've ready all the manga for this so far and the first episode of the anime adaptation did not disappoint.

It's jump, so I'll guess it will become better. Judging from that sick opening, I'm betting it will... still, this episode was very lame.

Throw Saitama into the world of Harry Potter and a Mashle you will get. The episode ended on such a cliff hanger that I am excited to see where they go with this as an anime only for this series thus far. If it keeps this up I just might have to pick up the manga!

Finally an anime for gym bros...

There is an Anime for gym bros called
"Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?

How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?"

This Anime doesn't look like for gym bros. The strength Mash has is pure absurdity

Overall disappointed.
The comedy scenes of 1st episode was poorly written and sometimes seemed it's forced. I mean what's with those pull, push, positioning the door comedy scenes it's just trashy comedy.
Mashle's father even don't know his physical capabilities and making comedy scenes out of his expression seeing Mash' action is just poorly written, indicating they don't have good communication and his father said physical exercise/Daily routine was for self-defense!!! Wtf does that mean, exercise boost your physical capabilities but don't give you techniques and experience for self-defense, you need to train for it. In their circumstance Mashle's father should have train his son self-defense from magic. Oh! Sorry Mash don't even need it, he just can do it because he is a cheap copy of other Anime.

The police super proposed him after getting defeated and Mash looks like trusted him that he won't harm his father in absence of himself is just pure absurd. Only good thing was background story of the father but he also disappointed me by not telling Mash what was their circumstances.

The Animation was not good at all. It suits the comedic scenes but not those action scenes, the thing is when the comedies are stupidity then it becomes garbage.
For example look at Demon Slayer it has different animation style for comedy and action scenes not just Demon Slayer every Anime with action and comedy follows the same rule.
Introduction to the world is like Fairy Tail and it's good.
Opening and Ending Song has good animation but those songs itself is not good at all.
It just looks like cheap Walmart knockoff version of One Punch Man and Harry Potter. Cheap because I hardly think it can give characters with depth and development but looking forward to it. BGM of the first episode was bad also. But I will try some episodes if it gets better in case.

Lol why was that person in the beginning montage practicing with floating blocks in the middle of the street while walking. Seems kinda reckless. It'd be one thing f they were practicing and keeping eyes forward at all times, but they were looking up the whole time.
I'm not too fond of the character designs-- for something comedic and set in fantasy, I feel like they could have added a little more pizazz into some of the designs. Like most of the characters you could say are actually from some other anime just with a robe on and a face mark and you technically wouldn't even be wrong. And I understand that it's a parody, but they still could do a bit better. Despite that, this was a fun anime that got me to laugh out loud quite a few times! I'm excited to see how our main characters interact with each other!

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

this one scene where it shows explosion in the house and then a flashback of him waving the spell off encapsulates all the "humor" in this show, squandered in epic failure. wouldnt it be 10 times funnier in real time, the closest thing in this episode that could potentialy made my lip flinch.

Common dude how can this show already gave me a lot of different emotions in its premiere itself!

Mashle seems to be nothing new and another cliche shounen anime on the surface, however that makes it easy for anyone to understand it & get invested into it from the get-go

Maybe because I went expecting some serious events into it, it caught me off guard with it's miss & hit comedy XD (I checked out the tags later), it's going to be fun ride

MASHLE is finally here!!! Many may be bashful towards the story such that it has some resemblance with other anime but this anime would/should be recognized because the manga is really good. I love how they look exactly the same in the anime and the manga, he's so handsome kyah. The story would just get even better so keep reading it. It's a story about a magicless boy fighting for his rights / to be recognized by the world but ever wonder who he really is? keep watching and we will have a good adventure again this time ^⁠_⁠^

it was so witty and enjoyable without even trying. most anime i see now draw out their scenes to the point that the comedy doesn't hit unless you were hyper focused to it. My tt infected brain can't handle those, but it can hadles this

It was a very good part. The basic lineup is enjoyable. The main character is very entertaining. It's like Harry Potter crossed with One Punch Man. The opening is also good, but the animation is acceptable.

I asked some friends who read the manga and they say it's much better after that. Because in the first episode you really only had one joke repeated too many times. Oh look how strong he is hehe. But then comes the harry potter school parody and new characters that make more jokes. So if the first episode was really average for me, I'll wait and see if it improves in the next episodes

This is a weird one, i feel like the jokes don't land, they are very dry, i don't know if its the delivery, the timing or that if you already read the manga the jokes don't hit a second time, lets see if it gets better

I kinda like the anime because of the fact that the MC are completely different from each other. He can't use magic, and surprising enough, he has a crazy physical ability by training. I know this is a comedy anime, but what kind of exercise did that grandpa give him just for self-defense? bro how??? And the comedy got me most of the time as a simple reminder. I don't watch comedy anime a lot, but this one kinda funny.

Synopsis didnt impress me but this is better than I expected. It's funny and amusing that the people using magic are just lazy weaklings because they became too reliant on magic.

Didn't really feel anything watching it, none of the comedy landed and it's just Saitama in Harry Potter's world. Not going to judge it based off only the first ep, but the start is pretty weak, I checked how many minutes left at least 5 times because it was that boring. Manga is probably better by default

All that cream puff makes me hungry again, ugh.

Magic missile! ....uhmm I mean magic wand projectile!

All these shock factor is already getting old halfway through the episode, but still interesting somehow what inanity (to the regular magi wielders' perspective) he'll come up next.
