| Great episode! Mash-kun is funny. And such good son hahahaha. He just want to live with his gramps a peaceful life. Also the OP visuals great and the song is nice by Okazaki-san. ED is catchy too. All characters look amazing. I love the characters art style and designs. Seems like it's gonna be an amazing spring season. Looking forward. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| It's like Harry Potter. But Hogwarts is an ethnostate, and Harry Potter is Saitama from One Punch Man |
| Hey you! Yes you! Have a nice day! And best wishes for your life's journey! |
| that was better than i expected, animation was pretty good too, A1 delivered. the humor is a bit hit or miss and it wasn't groundbreaking or anything but i'm hooked, i really like the art style, the thickness of the outlines is exactly my cup of tea. solid ED as well, i might even pick up the manga. |
 |
| I originally wasn't going to try this but decided I would later on, So glad I did, was actually a really great and funny first episode. When Mash started dribbling the magic around like a football was funny, cant wait to see where this series goes! |
| Harry Potter, Boku no Hero Academia and One Punch Man walk into a bar... But the episode ended so fast and I will have to wait another week, sucks |
   |
| mash is a sweetheart, omg |
My 2023 candies:      |
| Aight first episode alr got me hooked cause it reminds me a lot of Harry Potter + similar lvl of One Punch Man's gag humor. Can't wait to see more Mushroom head in action yeh and W pops for being such a goodhearted dad and same goes for mash towards him as well :D |
 |
| some of the most crisp and clean animation ive seen in a while |
| I haven't read the manga but I was really looking forward to this one because it looked like something I was going to really like and goddamn, I loved it. Freaking One Punch Man x Harry Potter. Mash really started juggling and dribbling with that guy's magic lmao. It seems that Morlock can't say no to a child in need and is back this season xD. I'm interested in that girl who sleeps with a Mash plushie.... Hilarious start, excited for more. |
| Peek Comedy at its finest the OP and ED are bangers and the OST is also BANGERS. Mash is the GOAT. Great First episode. Comedy and world building, and the classic clear shounen goal revealed. Ya'll need to quit giving this bad ratings cause this is PEEK |
| this was really funny. had no idea this was a funny anime. liked it. kinda disappointed that mash didn't break that officer into pieces but guess he was needed to advance the plot so ok. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Fun episode!! The art is ridiculously good too! Can't wait to see some of the more combat heavy scenes going forward. |
| Hilarious! :D Came in without any manga expectation, since I did not read the manga before checking this Anime out. However the story lived up to all of my expectation of what this kind of story should go about. Anyone that liked One Punch style parody manga / anime story should have no problem with Mashle, because it's pretty much the same thing, just in a different universe where Magicians have the most power... at least until our MC made his appearance, LOL :D |
| I loved everything about this first episode.. hope it stays interesting! |
| So cheap lmao. Is this really A-1? Looks more like Silver Link. I'm not a fan of the manga (feels like poor man's OPM/Mob100 for me) and just wanted to see some of the scenes animated, but with this level of production? Hard pass. |
| Mash reminds me of Cristiano penaldo.. Always building muscle but lacks magical talent and can't even pass through a door properly without breaking it..can't follow simple instructions.. just like the penalty lord, penaldo |

| Finally Harry Potter Shounen Anime Edition. Jiji backstory is really depressing, it's too real it's so painful to watch. |
 |
| Heard this show was a mix of Harry Potter/OPM and people weren't kidding, this show fits that description to a T. Decent first episode, some of the comedy felt forced and cheap but a few moments got a couple chuckles out of me. I usually dislike emotionless and OP characters so having one as a main character is probably going to make it difficult for me to be invested in this show, but hopefully Mash will warm up to me. I can for sure relate to him with his love of cream puffs lol. Looking forward to the next episode! |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Chiaki Kobayashi, getting a little annoyed with hearing his voice frequently now, so many roles in a short period of time. Seems like a standard shounen series, with unfortunate garbage humor. Really dislike the whole "narrating the punchline", especially when it's overdone like this. Mash also being an idiot is not endearing or amusing, especially the whole stoic idiot thing, which has been played to death over the years. |

| Harry Potter, except the protagonist is a shounen himbo. Good start, though it feels like your typical shounen so far, but I don't mean that in a bad way, this is going to be fun. Soundtrack is a banger though. |
 |
| I was genuinely skeptical after reading the show's description. The fight at the end convinced me that this show has massive potential. The music and animation was fire. It meshed serious and goofy really well, which is pretty difficult to get right. Definitely looking forward to the next episode. |

| A world where magic is commonplace huh. Think of how convenient that would be. Guess Mash is someone that doesn't know his own strength while also not being particularly bright. Shining shoes with magic must be an easy job. The drunk cop was a barrel of laughs though. So those that can't use magic are treated as second class cits. Though they had great progress because of magic it came at the cost of treating those that can't use it with contempt. Mash really is the perfect counter to this rot within society though. Overall a fun ep that did well to intruduce a world where progress and skill are everything that which treats thsoe that don't have it like trash. Mash is a bit thin on the ground as a character but im curious to see how he develops. The premise kinda reminds me of Black clover. |

| Great first episode, I've loved this comedy scenes and I'm looking forward to watching this. Though it reminds me of Asta from Black Cover with all the protagonist without a capability of use magic, let's see how it goes. Seems like a fun ride, the design of other characters are really good and the animation is also top, replicating the one of the manga |
 |
| I was down to watch this anime ever since I've read the manga. I'm interested in how they will recreate the funny moments into anime form coz the manga gave a certain impact which I feel might be hard to make animated. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Finally this weekend a non iskea show. This I suspect is going to be fun! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Looks like this one's gonna be a good one |
| damnn the comedy is not flat and funny enough LOL this will be entertaining for sure |
| Muscle wizard is real |
| bruh |
