Let’s start with the negatives, which are undeniably more numerous than the positives.

The characters suffer from something that’s pretty common in older anime or anime with this kind of aesthetic: they act, behave, or come across as extremely exaggerated or cheesy—whether in their poses, personalities, or the way they talk and carry themselves.
Another issue, and in my opinion the worst aspect of the entire anime, is how all the heroes behave towards the villain. They all feel like sheep being led to the slaughter, doing nothing to save their own lives, and passively accepting every terrible thing done to them. ... It’s genuinely frustrating how many chances they had to get rid of the main villain, Nanase, but they just stand there with clueless expressions, watching her escape—only for her to come back and do something even worse the next time.

I’ve never seen a pair of detectives as incompetent as this one. First, why does neither of them have a weapon? Second, Detective JR can’t take two steps without falling over. And third, their total and utter incompetence in any kind of physical fight or chase is laughable. This ties directly into another complaint: the anticlimactic showdown in Episode 9. Seriously… Nanase was standing with her back turned, and they could’ve easily thrown a rock or a piece of wood at her head and killed her. But no—they try to grab her, and when she gets possessed, instead of taking her crossbow away, they just stand there, admiring her.

Now, onto the positives:
In my opinion, the best thing about the series is the relationships between the characters. It’s fun to see them interact and grow closer over the course of the series. Instead of locking them into fixed groups, the show creates different dynamics, with each character interacting in unique ways in various situations.

Another positive is Nao. This bundle of cuteness was the one thing that stopped me from dropping the anime entirely.

Finally, I appreciate how the series tackles really heavy themes without fear and without excusing the characters who do something wrong. There’s no attempt to justify their actions with some tragic backstory. It’s made clear that, no matter what someone has suffered, it doesn’t give them the right to hurt others. Ironically, the episodes dealing with the darkest themes turn out to be the best ones.

With all that said, it’s a 6/10 for me.

Bom vamos começar pelos pontos negativos que estão inegavelmente em maior numero que os positivos.

Os personagens sofrem algo que é bem comum em animes antigos ou que tem essa estética, os personagens se comportam, agem ou aparentam extremamente caricatos ou canastrões, seja nas poses, personalidades ou maneira de falar e se comportar.
Outro e na minha opinião o pior ponto de todo o anime, é como todo mocinho se comporta em relação ao vilão, todos parecem ovelhas para o abate que não fazem nada pra salvar suas próprias vidas, e aceitam de bom grado toda e qualquer maldade feita a ele, chega a ser irritante a quantidade de vezes que poderiam ter se livrado da vilã principal a nanase e simplesmente ficam la com cara de sonsos vendo ela escapar para fazer algo de pior na próxima vez.

Nunca vi uma dupla de detetives tão pateta, primeiro não entendo porque nenhum deles tem uma arma... segundo é o detetive JR caindo a cada 2 passos e terceiro a total e completa incompetência deles em qualquer combate físico ou perseguição. Isso ja se liga diretamente a outra reclamação, que foi o climax broxante do ep 9, serio... a nanase de costa, poderiam facilmente tacar uma pedra ou madeira na cabeça dela e matar a miserável, mas tentam agarrar ela, ai quando ele é possuída, no lugar de tomar a besta dela, ficam olhando achando o maximo...

Agora aos pontos positivos

Bom, a relação dos personagens na minha opinião é a melhor coisa da serie, é legal velos interagindo e ficando mais próximos um do outro ao longo da serie, não fechando eles em grupos, no lugar disso fazendo diferentes dinâmicas com cada um deles interagindo de uma forma diferente, em situações diferentes.

Outro ponto positivo é a Nao, esse poço de fofura conseguiu me fazer não dropar o anime.

E por fim, gosto de como eles abordam temas muito pesados sem medo e sem eximir os personagens que fazem algo errado, sem tentar justificar isso com o passado triste do personagem, fica claro que mesmo tendo sofrido, isso não te da o direito de machucar os outros, os eps que abordam os temas mais pesados são inesperadamente os melhores.

Dito isso um 6

Alright, let’s start by separating the wheat from the chaff, as always, beginning with the negatives. Let me shine a light on the worst offender: dragging things out. The entire romance could have been resolved by episode 3, allowing the show to focus on exploring the relationship between the protagonists from that point onward. However, the anime insists on stalling until the very last second of the final episode to give us what we’ve been waiting for—and even then, it doesn’t deliver properly. Not even a decent kiss, just a shadow of one.

Another downside is the constant double meanings and ... misinterpretations the characters seem to cling to, creating a chain of misunderstandings that prevents the story from progressing. And let’s not even mention all the unnecessary drama and drawn-out final arc of the protagonists, which needlessly extends the plot. This makes the feeling of frustration outweigh any sense of empathy. Honestly, all I wanted was for it to end as quickly as possible.

Now that we’ve addressed the negatives, let’s move on to the positives.

The anime does present a romance with a relatively closed and satisfying ending. The female characters are quite charming, especially the protagonist, who reminds me of characters like Sawako—shy, with low self-esteem, and incredibly endearing.

Another highlight is the character design. Each one is unique, and even the secondary characters are well-crafted and nicely drawn. It’s also a short anime that flows well—if you overlook the over-the-top drama at the end.

All in all, a solid 6.5.

Bom, vamos começar como sempre separando o Joio do Trigo, começando pelos pontos negativos, ja venho trazer a luz ao pior deles, enrolação... Todo esse romance poderia ser se desenrolado ja no Ep 3, e dai por diante explorado a relação dos protagonistas após isso. Porem o anime insiste em enrolar até o ultimo segundo do ultimo episodio, para nos dar o que queremos, e pior, sem sequer um beijo decente, sendo apenas uma sombra.
Outro dos pontos negativos são as duplas interpretações que os personagens insistem em deixar, fazendo uma cadeia de mas interpretações que nunca deixa a historia progredir, sem falar em toda a enrolação e drama desnecessário no plot final dos protagonistas, alargando ele de maneira desnecessária, fazendo assim o sentimento de irritação ser maior que o de empatia, tudo que eu queria era que aquilo acabasse o mais rápido possível.

Bom agora que foram elucidados os pontos negativos, vamos ao trigo.

O anime tem um romance que a certo modo tem um final fechado e satisfatório.
As personagens femininas são bem agradáveis, principalmente nossa protagonista que me lembra muito essas personagens como Sawako, com pouca auto estima e extremamente fofas.
Outro ponto positivo, é o design dos personagens, são todos únicos, e até os secundários são bem feitos e desenhados.
É um anime curto e até bem fluido se tirarmos o drama final.

Dido isso, um solido 6.5.

Animation: 5/10

Now, let’s break down this anime.

If you're looking for a light romance to pass the time, this is a great option. But remember, nothing memorable—just a nice way to kill some time.

Let’s get into the flaws: the characters are one-dimensional. They are exactly what they appear to be and nothing more—no layers, no depth. The whole concept of the anime revolves around misunderstandings. Elianna misunderstands something, gets upset, gives up on everything, only to find out she was wrong. This pattern repeats itself and gets tiring.
...
The main characters don’t experience any growth throughout the anime. Elianna is the best example of this—she starts and ends the anime naive, believing whatever people tell her. Their romance could have progressed more, but instead, the time is wasted on misunderstandings. They could have focused on something more meaningful.

That said, let’s talk about the good: the romance itself is enjoyable because it doesn’t take long to happen, although there’s little development after that. The characters, especially the main ones, are beautiful, and the setting is pleasant.

In conclusion, this is an anime just to pass the time and enjoy Elianna’s cuteness and how pretty she is.

Solid 6/10.




Vamos ao superficial

Animação: 5/10

Bom agora vamos ao que foi esse anime

Para você que busca um romance para passar o tempo, este é uma ótima opção, mas lembre, nada memorável, apenas um passa tempo legal.

Vamos ao joio, os personagens são unilaterais, ou seja, todos são o que são e nada mais, não possuem camadas ou facetas diferentes, todos eles são exatamente o que aparentam e se resumem a isso.
O conceito do anime gira em torno de mal entendidos, Elianna entende algo errado, faz drama, desiste de tudo so para descobrir que não era bem assim, isso se torna repetitivo e começa a cansar.
A os personagens principais não tem evolução alguma durante o anime, Elianna é o melhor exemplo disso, começa e termina o anime ingênua e acreditando em tudo que falam.
O romance deles poderia ter tido mais avanços, no lugar de tanto mal entendido, poderiam ter usado esse tempo para algo mais proveitoso.

Dito tudo isso, vamos ao trigo, a parte mais agradável é o romance em si, porque não enrola muito para acontecer, embora tenha pouca evolução.
Os personagens principalmente os protagonistas são lindos.
A ambientação é agradável.

Com isso chegamos a conclusão, que é um anime meramente para passar tempo e se divertir com a fofura da Elianna e o quão linda ela é.

6 cravado

Let’s start with the “bad” part.

The anime continues to have certain issues from the first season that bother me, such as the excessive explanations. It feels like the director and writers see the audience as a bunch of illiterate fools who can’t understand anything without detailed explanations, which isn’t necessary at all.

The fights remain static due to this excessive talking/explaining. Battles like Wahlberg’s could be much better if the anime didn’t pause every 10 seconds to explain something.
...
Now that we’ve pointed out the bad, let’s get to the good.

The anime has greatly improved in terms of magic, and as a result, the fights have also gotten much better. They’ve stopped being a repetition of the same magic over and over and are now exploring and utilizing the concept more effectively.

The comedy remains very good, though I laughed more in the first season.

The characters are still fun and charismatic, which is great for an anime where comedy is the main focus.

Now for my favorite part: as a satire of major global blockbusters, Mashle is full of references, some of which are to Naruto, like the Death Reaper Seal, Edo Tensei, and Susanoo. The main source of references is Harry Potter. I found myself recalling various scenes and feelings while watching. The Dumbledore curse, the villain’s loss of humanity exactly like Voldemort, and even mentions of Horcruxes.

Overall, the second season is superior to the first in some aspects and a bit inferior in others.

Rating: 7.8

Bom comecemos pela parte "ruim".

O anime continua com certos vícios da primeira temporada que me incomodam bastante, como o excesso de explicação, me parece que o diretor/roteiristas, veem o publico como um bando de analfabetos burros, que não conseguem entender nada que eles forem passar, como se tudo fosse muito complexo ao ponto de necessitar de uma explicação detalhada, coisa que não é e nem precisa.

As lutas continuam paradas, por conta desse excesso de conversa/explicação, lutas como a de Wahlberg, poderiam ser muito melhores, se o anime não parece de 10 em 10 segundos para explicar algo.

Agora que pontuamos o joio, vamos ao trigo.

O anime melhorou muito no quesito de magia, por consequência as lutas também melhoraram muito, elas pararam de ser uma repetição da mesma magia eternamente, e agora todo o conceito é melhor explorado e utilizado.

A comedia segue sendo muito boa, embora tenha rido mais na primeira.

Os personagens continuam divertido e carismáticos, o que é ótimo para um anime onde a comedia é o foco principal.

Vamos a parte que eu mais gosto, como uma sátira aos grandes blockbusters mundiais, Mashle é repleto de referencias, sendo algumas delas a naruto, como o selo do shinigami da morte, edo tensei e susanoo, e tendo como principal fonte de suas referencias Harry Potter, me peguei relembrando diversas cenas ou sentimentos enquanto assistia. A maldição do Dumbledore, a Perca de humanidade do vilão exatamente como voldemort e até menção as horcrux.

No mais a segunda temporada é superior a primeira, em alguns quesitos e em outros é um pouco inferior.

Nota: 7,8

Let's do a quick analysis:

Animation: 7
Soundtrack: 8
Plot: 8
Comedy: 9

Now, let's start with the "bad" part, which for me was the whole concept of magic. Although inspired by Harry Potter, the magic itself is very limited. The character who summons swords only does that, the one who uses gravity can only do that, and so on. All the characters have only one type of magic.

Another negative point was the fights. Although funny and somewhat well-animated, they were limited to a particular wizard using just one ability repeatedly.
...
Now that we've addressed the chaff, let's separate it from the wheat.

The main positive point of the series is the comedy. Most of the comedic scenes worked for me. I found myself laughing out loud a few times, like during the burial scene. Mash's personality brings great laughs and very entertaining moments.

The plot is coherent and well-executed throughout the anime. The story flows well—so well that I finished watching the entire first season in just one day because I couldn't stop.

The characters are the best part of the series. Each one has a completely warped personality. Even the seemingly serious and normal characters are totally broken, which gave me lots of laughs.

Overall, Mash is a great anime to watch and pass the time. I guarantee you'll start watching it and, before you know it, you'll be at the end.

Final score: 7.5

Vamos a uma analise rapida

Animação: 7
Trilha sonora: 8
Enredo: 8
Comedia: 9

Agora, comecemos pela parte "ruim", que pra mim foi todo o conceito de magia, embora inspirado por Harry Potter, a magia em si é muito limitada, o personagem que invoca espadas faz só isso, o que usa gravidade só consegue fazer isso e por ai vai, todos os personagens tem somente uma magia em si.

Outro ponto que achei negativo foram as lutas, que embora engraçadas e até que bem animadas, se resumiam a um determinado mago usando apenas uma única habilidade eternamente.

Agora que abordamos o joio, vamos separar ele do trigo.

Como ponto positivo principal da obra eu trago a comedia, a maioria das cenas cômicas funcionaram comigo, me peguei gargalhando algumas vezes como a do enterro, a personalidade do Mash rende ótimas risadas e momentos muito divertido.

O enredo é bem coeso ao que se propõem, e tem uma boa condução ao decorrer do anime, a historia flui bem, na verdade flui tão bem que terminei de assistir essa primeira temp em apenas um dia, pois não conseguia parar.

Os personagens são o melhor da serie, cada um com sua personalidade completamente deturpada, até os que parecem personagens sérios e normais, são completamente quebrados, o que me rendeu varias risadas.

No mais, Mash é um ótimo anime para assistir e passar o tempo, garanto que você vai começar a assistir e quando menos esperar estará no fim.

Nota final: 7,5

Far superior to the first two, this season can be summarized just like that.

Let's start with the wood and leave the gold for the end.

Starting with the worst part of this season, which were the musicals... they were just there to spoil the mood of the scenes. They were so forgettable that I can't even remember how many there were, but I remember one with particular disdain—the one on the rooftop—ruining the perfect atmosphere that had been created.

Another problem is the lack of excitement in the battles; all of them are very slow and try to force themselves to be comedic, failing both as comedy ... and as action. And I must mention that all this friendship power nonsense has irritated me since Fairy Tail and kind of ruined the final resolution, as everything seemed to be resolved in a very trivial manner.

Having said all that... now let's get to the pure essence of it, the pinnacle of what a romance anime is.

As action or battles, the anime is weak and bad... but when it comes to romance... my friends, it is an audiovisual masterpiece. This season came to fully develop all the romantic relationships of all the characters in the story at once. And it did so with excellence.

As a result, several characters benefited from these resolutions, gaining new layers and becoming much more interesting than they ever were. Daleth and Water were perfect this season and starred in the best romantic scenes as well. Everything was very cute, fun, and extremely delightful to watch.

The entire emotional weight of our MC and Alice was perfect; I shed tears watching it... it was so anticipated, so beautiful, and the best part, they didn't ruin the scene with a crappy musical.

Finally, we have the resolutions for all the characters, each in their proper place, without the need for more explanations—a closed ending, something that many authors and publishers should learn to do.

It leaves a taste of wanting more, like some OVAs showing their daily lives together, but still, I finish my review extremely happy and satisfied with an ending that was a great gift for those who have been following the story since its first season.

A solid 8, no doubt about it.




Para os brazucar

Muito superior as duas primeiras, essa temporada se resume a isso.

Bom vamos começar pela madeira e deixar o ouro para o final.

Começando com a pior dessa temporada, que foram os musicais... que estavam la e existiam meramente para estragar o clima das cenas, eram tão esquecíveis que nem lembro quantos tiveram, mas lembro de um com um certo odio a mais, que foi o do telhado... estragando o clima perfeito que havia sido criado.

Outro problema é a falta de empolgação nas batalhas, todas elas são muito paradas e tentam forçar para serem cômicas, ai nem funciona como comedia, nem como ação. A vale lembrar que toda essa balela de poder da amizade me irrita desde Fairy Tail, e meio que estragou o desfecho final, pois tudo pareceu se resolver de maneira muito banal.

Dito tudo isso... agora vamos para o suquinho de quero mais, o puro suco do milho, o apice do que é um anime de romance.

Como ação ou batalhas o anime é fraco e ruim... porem no que diz respeito a romance... meus amigos, é uma obra de arte audiovisual, essa temporada veio para desenvolver completamente todas as relações românticas de todos os personagens da obra de uma vez só. E diga-se de passagem fez isso com primazia.

Com isso varios personagens se beneficiaram dessas resoluções, ganhando novas camadas e se tornando bem mais interessantes do que jamais foram, Daleth e Water foram perfeitos nessa temporada, e protagonizaram as melhores cenas de romance dela também, tudo muito fofo, divertido e extremamente delicioso de se assistir.

Todo o peso final do nosso MC e da Alice, foi perfeito, derramei lagrimas vendo aquilo... foi tão esperado, tão bonito, e a melhor parte, não estragaram a cena com uma merda de musical.

Por fim temos os desfechos de todos os personagens, cada um no seus devido lugar, sem necessidade de mais explicações, um final fechado, algo que muito autores e editoras deveriam aprender a fazer.

Resta um gosto de quero mais, como alguns OVAs mostrando o desfecho do dia a dia deles juntos, mas ainda assim finalizo minha critica extremamente feliz e satisfeito com um final que foi um presente e tanto para quem vem acompanhando a obra desde sua primeira temporada.

Um solido 8, não me resta duvidas disso.

A promising start, but just that.

I have mixed feelings about this season. On one hand, the interactions between our protagonists continue to be great. It's enjoyable to see their relationship unfold, even though it causes a lot of distress because the curse prevents them from getting closer.

Regarding the secondary characters, they remain fun and charismatic, especially Daleth with her stalker-like interactions and her love for Walter, which led to numerous amusing situations. We also had good development between Cuff and Zain, which started off quite satisfying but became lukewarm and somewhat annoying as Zain's personality unfolded throughout the episodes.

As for the story, this season was ... the weakest so far. Despite the character development and the backstories, I felt a sense of disappointment. Everything seems too easy to resolve. The main plot unfolds very quickly and simply. Sade, the main villain and the greatest witch, doesn't manage to create any discomfort or threat. She seems like a weak villain who doesn't command any respect, which makes the anime quite weak.

The animation remains consistent, not losing quality, and continues with its 3D style.

In the end, the season was a 7 or 6.5 at most, lukewarm, saved only by the good characters and the perfect chemistry between the protagonists.

Let's start with the animation aspect. For a romance anime, it is quite satisfactory. The animation is fluid when necessary, well-executed, and cohesive with the anime's overall proposal.

Characters: This is the best part of the anime. Every character is charming and entertaining in their own way, not just our protagonists but also everyone around them. Each character plays their role in a fun and captivating manner.

Story: Here lies the problem preventing the anime from being an 8 or 9. I felt stuck in a loop multiple times, as if trapped in a time paradox for several episodes without any notable conclusion or evolution. Even when ... it seemed like the moment of progression was approaching, when a glimmer of light finally lifted me from this vicious cycle of stagnation, the writers and director would completely crush my hopes.

I finished the second season with a sense of beginning, as if I was just starting the anime rather than finishing it. I don't understand the Japanese obsession with never progressing their couples, probably due to fear of having nothing left to do or losing fan interest. However, it would be quite the opposite. It would be far more interesting to see their life as a couple, the dynamics and problems that would arise, and the entire evolution of their relationship, just like what was done in Horimiya, which was exceptionally satisfying.

In conclusion, like any generic romance anime, the word that best defines Uzaki-chan would be "procrastination." And when I mention procrastination, it is not just any kind; it is the pinnacle of what the word represents. The second part of the anime also ends without a conclusive finale—not entirely, but without being clear and explicit. However, it is filled with charismatic characters, beautiful design, an interesting plot, and a lot of stories to tell. That said, I hope the upcoming third season does justice to its qualities.

A Romance anime with a conclusive ending is an extremely rare gem amidst so many others that don't even bother to continue, serving merely as advertisements for their manga.

Let's talk about the animation: for a Romance anime, it's very well done, putting to shame those anime that needed better animation despite being Shounen or Isekai. Isn't that right, Goblin Slayer? The characters remain as beautiful as in the first season, with subtle design changes.

Regarding the secondary characters, they ended up without any real development, although, honestly, they weren't missed, considering that 90% of the anime's charm comes from the protagonists, Masamune and Aki, along with ... Yoshino.

As for the plot of this second season, and consequently the possible end of the anime, everything flowed well, although it remains trapped by various mannerisms and clichés of the genre, such as the absurd delay in concluding the main couple's resolution. However, with slight breaths of progression in our protagonists' relationship, the anime holds up well until the end. Yet, I must say it would have been much superior if the final resolution had happened earlier, around episode 9 or 10, allowing for better development of the two and, of course, a treat for the fans by showing more of their relationship beyond just a mere kiss at the end.

In conclusion, I must say I finished satisfied with this delightful teenage journey, filled with cute and loving moments, along with light touches of humor. Even though I feel a bit wanting more regarding the protagonists, I am extremely happy and satisfied seeing a rare case of a romance anime with a beautiful conclusive ending.
