Since I've gotten a few comments about this - I'm pointing this out - The footage looks the way it does because I would prefer to NOT get copyright struck. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but I wanted to talk about this series I've fallen in love with, and I'd prefer to not get punished for talking about it.
everyones had that one school exec that let rich jerks get away with a bit too much I guess... hits hard cause it feels like something my not so sane half bro would say in middleschool. dude hated bullies.
Mashle has a lot of great banger quotes Personal favourite is: "It doesn't matter if there's meaning to my life or not, I'm still unstoppable. So gimme your best shot."
Because it resonates with some folks we all had that one teacher or school official we wanted to do this to them. But we couldn’t because we would either get in serious trouble or thrown in jail.
From what I gather, one of the reasons why Merry Sues/Garry Stus are so reviled is because they’re written like the universe revolves around them, that everything clicks into place for them without so much of an interesting conflict. In the case of Mash, it’s the exact opposite. The universe is against him and he’s using his strength (metaphorically and literally) to get around in a spectacular fashion
Pretty much why i still never did like Black clover, which sure, maybe some people liked it but considering BOTH it & Mashle are magic-based medieval fantasies, you can easily see the night and day difference on how each of them handled thar own power systems. Since literally Asta gets dunked on for not having `normal magic` yet got some weird tome that summons swords that just conviently negated magic. Which realistically, should of fking been considered magic, him just having a `weapon deployment magic` of sorts, yet they act like its not magic. Then he start pulling crap like flying, looking demonic and so on, yet in a number of cases as far as my brain even can remember of that series they still wanna say it `aint` magic. Didnt help either they just over-dozed on fk-wadery with magic shenigans in more ways then one. But of course that series was literally being called something that wanted to vaccuum up as many shounen tropes by being both asta supposedly is an underdog yet he exclusively has one of the most OP gimmicks that should make everyone see him as: Oh fuck, i probably should just kick his ass with my fists instead of constantly throwing magic at the hyper-caffienated kiddo who if i actually had a brain, should be trying to restrict his limbs or criple his arms instead of constantly throw magic baseballs at him. Atleast in Mashle`s case, its not that he is IMMUNE to the magic, its more like a case of magic & physical values NOT being treated as entirely separate so someone with enough strength could brute force spells that `have` to take a physical form of sorts to function at all, especially for offensive/defensive or utility based means. Which is definitely a nice underlying way to treat magic instead of how some shows just unconditionally treat `hero awakening powers`, `magic spells` or `isekai based materials` as being the equilvent of slamming titanium quality axes straight thru rotten pieces of drift wood when put up against `conventional metals.` I seriously miss stuff like GATE which makes stuff like high grade ordinaces and specialized military equipment clearly effective against what was likely medieval grade weaponry or in the case of dragons, likely trying to puncture several CM thick layered plating helicopters equipped with heavy grade flamethrowers or something, hence the problem on taking one of them down was a lack of firepower for dealing with such threats, where a fighter jet equipped with higher caliber rounds shot thru a machine gun & missiles for punching thru tanks would be able to puncture thru said scales more effectively. Well, atleast with Solo-leveling also being present this season too, its a bit more understandable in some cases, being used against all kinds of monsters which really upscale to some dangerous stuff then simply being humans from another land or something. Which the protagonist of that series depending on how far they go into it, definitely gets quite a few tricks to justify how crazy things get and the whole thing with `normal hunters` still have to make use of equipment acquired from the `dungeons` to improve themselves since not every one of them got amazing stuff and even the amazing ones need some strong equipment for dealing with VERY dangerous stuff.
One way I know a character is a Mary Sue is when they hate someone without any other sign that character is evil, and it becomes so clichéd it is not only predictable it also ruins the anticipation for the conflict.
Yes, people who think Mash is a Marry Sue are mad that the story of Mash is about Mash. If he was a Mary Sue then the _world_ of Mashel would be about Mash. If I made a documentary about Bob Dylan it would not make him a Marry Sue. Sure the story revolves around him but it his story, by definition it revolves around him.
@@BladeSerph I see a big problem with how you see black clover, yeah Anti-magic is technically magic from the demon world BUT is NOT Asta's magic, it belongs to the demon in the grimoire. Anti magic isn't treated as if it wasn't magic, it actually does treat it as magic having it's limits and everything. Also Asta isn't inmune to magic, yeah he can negate magic when using his Black form and Devil-Union but for him to do this, he needs to be Stronger than the magic that he's trying to destroy, also they are multiple time in the whole series where Asta is hurt BY MAGIC and enemies who attacks asta physically, it isn't just "Yeah i'm someone without magic that got the power to destroy everything and can instantly use it at is full power become unstoppable" instead there's a reasonable progression in how asta "OP" powers grows, for example Asta was basically powerless with just a big heavy sword and later a more normal size one that can destroy or reflect some magic, if he were to loose those swords or loose a way to use them, he becomes pretty much an useless character and even when he unlocks the black form he REQUIRES the swords to draw Anti-magic in his body and etc etc.. I think i have wrote more than enough.
Im so happy people ended up loving Mashle, ive been championing the manga since it came out. Even the manga author was surprised the series got an anime, i think he said something like "I honestly didn't think I'd make it this far" on Twitter
I completely forgot Magic and Mashles got animated. This series was funny as hell for me. Whether it's the shrunken faces from seeing Mash's power, him mistaking Lance for a lolicon over a picture of his little sister, or the point where the giant skull horse reads his mind and finds nothing but cream puffs and struggles to actually place him in a proper category, _and especially the scene where he shows he believes in gender equality,_ Magic and Mashles is a fun ride the whole way through.
Cream puff. Also, Mash is a likable character because he's technically fighting for change against a massive societal structure while also being absolutely right. Don't know man, I probably just like protagonists that are good people.
Villain mc’s are kinda annoying to me tbh not to say they’re all bad but they’re never really done right. Like some a lot of the times their morality isn’t I’m “super evil” it’s “I’m good but also I’m gonna use slaves to help me” If you wanna make a villain Mc just make them a downright asshole make them act as if they’re playing a game of rim world.
Mash stands for M- Mob, A- Asta, S- Saitama and H- Harry lul and this creampuff muscle head is awesome and loved the comedy plus the characters even though some of the gags dragged on sometimes too long but started reading it early on and stuck with it pretty happy the author was able to end it on his terms I feel and hope. Not to mention the anime is back from it's first part/cour and I recommend you Witch Hat Atelier Kamen to try out.
Even if Mash has some of the qualities of a Gary Stu I don't care. Just seeing all the creative ways he'd literally brute force his way through problems in the Manga never failed to make me laugh. One of my favorites is when a mage trapped him and a metal box and he literally made a door in it by poking holes with his finger and then proceeded to trap the caster in it.
I loved the entrance exams where they gave him the text to dechiper by stopping the letters from moving, and Mash solved it instantly by just scaring the letters into standing still
Nah bro one of my favorite points in the manga is when he finally takes off his wrist weights and gets serious. Its like we thought he was getting serious all these other times then he just takes off his 20 ton wrist weights that break the ground and it likes 😨💀
He's the Harry Spotter, the boy who lift. I just love seeing the "shock" reactions when he deflected or beat them all without magics. Saitama would be proud xD Also Lemon is adorable!!
I think what made Mashle great was how ABSURD his solution to the issue at hand. That's how the series keeps on giving. One of the best running joke was that he usually carry a shovel in case he wanted to or accidentally killed someone. Another best thing about Mashle was his rebuttal trash talk or action. For someone who barely talks at all, his comeback was like Katt Williams level of roast against a villain.
Mash kinda reminds me Yu Narukami. Mainly the hair. Also having watched Food Wars. That show’s cast would fucking go nuts if they saw Mash make any meal into a cream puff.
Oh my gosh! MANGA’S COVERING MASHLE?!!!! I never thought I’d see the day. Glad you started watching this wonderful series I love so much since everyone on Twitter misses the point of why people love it so much (not that it’s perfect tho).
i dont think i've laughed out loud so hard at manga than with mashle, this made me fall in love with the series i should be the latest volumes, it's been a while
Mash reminds me of Captain Carrots sword in Discworld. In that universe, Carrot has a completely mundane iron sword. Not particulary sharp, just well maintained by Carrot. In fact the sword is specifically stated that there is NO magical properties to it at all, and there in lies the issue. In the Discworld, everyone and everything has even just a little bit of magic in it. The weapon having NOTHING magical makes the sword especially REAL in the Discworld. Allowing Carrot to do things with it worthy of a "king", like thrusting the sword INTO a stone.
@cameronjensen9397 Yeah, it kind of inforces mundanity onto a world of magic, thus causing a calculation error for what it interacts with, spell don't work and enchantments don't function right.
Mash is not a Marry Sue beacuse... he has lots of flaws. One he is very narrow in how smart he is, he can do an advanced job but if he was tested on other things he would just fail. He is also a total abrasive jackass and important people hate him. Oh and not to mention... he has magic, sure it is nonsense martial art magic but he shatters the laws of physics, that is magic.
No, a Mary Sue is a character that basically IS the story, everything HAS to be tailor made to be just about THEM, the story only progresses thanks to THEM and THEM alone.
@@Aaa-vp6ug because he is the main character of the story. Yes all stories with a main character will relate to the main character. But the world of Mashle doesn’t revolve around Mash, only the story of Mash does because it has to by definition.
I love how its the complete opposite of special one in a normal society trope. You got Mash, a normal dude with extreme physical strength in a middle of an all magic society and that said society hates normal people because they are defects.
Creampuff, I like the new ending music, nice choice, it's more easy listening, and the while the symbols are a bit strong over the clarinet, it draw more attention as a result.
Mashle always reminds me in a way of Mx0. It's a manga about a guy who's just good at fighting and applies to a magic high school (he doesn't know that's what it is, as it's a secret) but fails to get in. However, due to circumstances, he accidentally gets confused for a student trying to skip class and is dragged into the school proper, through a magical barrier, by a teacher. He ends up getting enrolled in the school somehow, despite having no ability to use magic, and through a combination of sheer circumstances and aid from various characters who know his secret, keeps getting confused by other students for being an incredibly powerful magic user. It's great.
i had a nice time watching the video. although the intro and outro music both had me tripping on nostalgia. never expected a video to bring out My will to fight the knight and then make me remember the old days of wizardry.
3:13 when it comes to Yuji, his journey stared of of saving everyone in order for them to die a proper death, but due to Sukuna(who was inside his body and doesn’t care what happens to Yuji) being responsible the destruction of Shibuya, he had a mental breakdown and his ideology changed thanks to Mahito, who killed Junpei before Shibuya, Nanimi and Nobara.
Mash is a great protagonist humble almost all the time, creative, and good friend 😄 SPOILER: the chapter 74 when he study with his friends is my favorite chapter in the manga, because mash wanna give up but his friends keep chering him up, till him do it rigth and that feels Human and Real. (Sorry for my english)
Is it just me or does Mash look like Yu Narukami from Persona 4 only with black hair? Edit: Okay just finished the first episode and it’s official: I’m hooked. That first episode made me cry. What can I say I’m a sucker for good father and son stories. Alright I know what I’m binging now.
Interesting insights, love your content as always thougb I was surprised that you don't often find an anime that catches your eye these days, I would've thought you'd definitely be a demon slayer or jjk fan
As a big MP100 fanboy, i'm honestly planning on watching this one just because this guy looks and feels like a direct opposite, parallel universe version of Mob LMAO. Bowlcut dude with no magic powers and mad muscles and confidence to make up for it. It also looks funny as hell and the 2nd season opening is a total bop.
I had zero expectations for this show. Saw the trailer a week before it came out and thought it looked like a cheap Harry Potter parody cashing in on Hogwarts Legacy. I was very wrong and it ended up being one of the few shows I was looking forward to each week
(Cream Puff) Also, the DnD comparison is one reason I love Playing Human Fighters in most campaigns I get the chance to play. I love being just a dude with a sword and a dream in a world of Magic and Dragons.
Its fun seeing how even with characters that curb stomp the world, there are very human stories to be told. Saitama actually develops as a character and his story mirrors that of the author in many ways. He starts the series depressed. He has no real challenges and thinks a real good fight will solve his problems. But its later in the series where that isn't relevant anymore. Even fighting Garo who can finally match him, he doesn't care. He's built a circle of friends and cares for them. Its they that gave him new purpose
The reason it works is he's not a victim and earns his ability to kick ass by working harder than everyone else. A lesson people REALLY need to learn these days. Mash could have cried all day on twitter because life didn't treat him as a god... Instead he lifted
After Mashle, I hope we will get an anime adaptation of Mahou? Sonna Koto Yori Kinniku da! Very similar premise, with a likeable main character who focused on muscle training in a magi dominated world, to a point where he became immune to magic. Instead of being an asshole about this or the people around him looking down on him, Yuri (the mc) continues being his own goof ball self and wins the respect and admiration of people through his actions. While his goal is to inspire more people to work on their muscles, it is down right funny just how extreme his training regime is.
The difference between Mash and a Gary Stu is that one is protected by Author-sama while the other is fighting tooth and nail to keep himself and his friends alive. Note that 90% of Mash's downtime is either spent eating cream puffs or sleeping to regain energy for his workouts. This guy is the definition of grindmaxxing.
My major problem with Shonen Protagonists is that they will often fall on the stereotypes that I'm just tired of seeing: Young adult who is overlooked at first but after a certain event gain powers to beat the crap out of his enemies, often relying on "Power of Friendship" where each arc have a villain with a much higher power level forces them to trains in a short amount of time to get a new power boost and often enough awakening a new transformation/Evil Side Power Up where they have to often battle against it unless they want to become Hot Topic incarnated with the options of said protagonist being as dumb as a rock overall and/or being a black hole of obliviousness about the female(s) advances on them. I already saw that once in Dragon Ball and after finishing Naruto, everything else feels like "Second Verse, Same as the First".
back from.watching it cause about 1/3rd through the vid I HAD to binge it. you are absolutely right This show was amazing and I will be binging the manga. especially after that season 2 hook YA CANT LEAVE PEOPLE HANGING like that it should be criminal for animes to do this! lol. wonderful vid all round man!
As much as i like the series for what it is, I feel like it just didnt have enough time to come together. I really liked the Harry Potter parody a lot, but we never really got to see much of the world or characters that live in it or what the school was really like. It always just feel like it was blazing towards its conclusion. Especially after the obligatory "tournament arc" where the main bad guy just sort of "shows up". While a decent bit of the laughs is how things abruptly begin and end (ala OPM, which this series cribs a lot from), theres just not enough downtime for the characters to breath or get to know. I think i completely forgot what magic the little brother character does because he never uses it until near the end of the manga. Just a shame really.
Finn? His magic is support type, mostly on healing and it's pretty powerful too. But sadly it never got used properly other than the fight with his brother :(
I kinda want to see the alternate Universe where Mashle just says No in episode one and slaps the official across town. Bigger and bigger bounty hunters would just keep showing up at his door and getting beat down. Mashle is an immovable object once he gets worked up... at least in his world. He didn't really have to agree to anything... he is just nice enough to only beat up people who really need it.
Hey Kamen, have you seen 'The wrong way to use Healing magic'? It's about this guy who accidentally gets isekai'd along with two schoolmates who are to be heroes and uses healing magic to get demonic physical strength.
Out of all the funny fights and great parody in this series, I think some of my favorite parts are whenever he gives a simple physical attack some magic attack name, and when someone calls him out and he gets so nervous that he'll be found out.
What I like about it too is when there is not much action happening the comedy, even if it's just anyone talking, nicely fits. It feels like actual friends roasting each other or them hanging out but it doesn't feel forced either.
I HAVE HAVE THIS BOOK FOR 2 YEARS AND I HAD NO IDEA I EVEN HAD IT UNTIL 8:45 WHEN YOU SHOWED THE COVER im gonna read it for the first time (i never read it i just have it)
I really appreciate your more moderate take on anime. Every year people seem to get more and more pretentious and critical instead of just enjoying something. Sure when something different or mold-breaking comes along it's fantastic, but that doesn't make everything else bad. Like, just fuckin enjoy the ride instead of trying to be the Roger Ebert of anime. At a certain point the only thing killing your enjoyment is your own shitty attitude.
Based on what you are saying I think you would love the Kingkiller Chronicles magic called Sympathy. It is versatile but has roots in realism. Sympathy is basically physics without ropes and pullies.
17:38 I mean, yeah, that basically a part of the Hero's Journey, which is a story pattern that's been used since the beginning of time. It's used so much because it's familiar to every single human society.
Mash is such a great protagonist because he's such a great person. He's decided the way his world works is wrong, and it has to change. He basically feels like this worlds Superman, bro showed up and started doing anything he could to improve the world around him.
Since I've gotten a few comments about this - I'm pointing this out - The footage looks the way it does because I would prefer to NOT get copyright struck.

@cameronjensen9397 Yeah, it kind of inforces mundanity onto a world of magic, thus causing a calculation error for what it interacts with, spell don't work and enchantments don't function right.

Mash is not a Marry Sue beacuse... he has lots of flaws. One he is very narrow in how smart he is, he can do an advanced job but if he was tested on other things he would just fail. He is also a total abrasive jackass and important people hate him. Oh and not to mention... he has magic, sure it is nonsense martial art magic but he shatters the laws of physics, that is magic.

No, a Mary Sue is a character that basically IS the story, everything HAS to be tailor made to be just about THEM, the story only progresses thanks to THEM and THEM alone.
@@Aaa-vp6ug Yeah and it’s why Mash can’t be one. Many parts of the story hate him. The story is unable to revolve around him due to that.
@@n0etic_f0x that’s still linking back to Mash.
@@Aaa-vp6ug because he is the main character of the story. Yes all stories with a main character will relate to the main character. But the world of Mashle doesn’t revolve around Mash, only the story of Mash does because it has to by definition.
A. Loving the new avatar, B. I just love how you handled this manga. Thanks for helping me feel validation for loving Mashle, love ya Manga
I love how its the complete opposite of special one in a normal society trope. You got Mash, a normal dude with extreme physical strength in a middle of an all magic society and that said society hates normal people because they are defects.
Loved this one, was nice to turn my brain off and just enjoy the goofy premise.
You don't need to break the mold to make something great.
@@MangakamenUnderdog stories will never not be satisfying to me, Mashle just scratches that itch.
aye
Creampuff,
I like the new ending music, nice choice, it's more easy listening, and the while the symbols are a bit strong over the clarinet, it draw more attention as a result.
Harry Squatter, the boy who Lifted.
Thats legitimately this anime
ALSO I CAUGHT THAT JOJOS REFERENCE, "its not cheating if you dont get caught"!
Mashle always reminds me in a way of Mx0.
It's a manga about a guy who's just good at fighting and applies to a magic high school (he doesn't know that's what it is, as it's a secret) but fails to get in.
However, due to circumstances, he accidentally gets confused for a student trying to skip class and is dragged into the school proper, through a magical barrier, by a teacher. He ends up getting enrolled in the school somehow, despite having no ability to use magic, and through a combination of sheer circumstances and aid from various characters who know his secret, keeps getting confused by other students for being an incredibly powerful magic user. It's great.
Gotta check it out!
XD
"and the legends tell of a wizard with lines not on his flesh but under it. For he was granted the power of getting fucking jacked, bro."
I loved this series, it was enjoying
totally
Ah yes, the Boy-Who-Lifted.
Harry potter needed a gym membership.
Creampuff! I had no idea the second season was coming out so soon, thanks MK!
This show looks like a lot of fun. Can't wait to check it out on my next day off. Thanks Kamen 😃
I'm so happy to see a video of one of my favorite new mangas!
I definitely wasn’t too interested in the premise when I saw the commercials for Mashle, but you’ve successfully convinced me to check it out.
Good.
@@Mangakamen also, cream puff
i had a nice time watching the video. although the intro and outro music both had me tripping on nostalgia. never expected a video to bring out My will to fight the knight and then make me remember the old days of wizardry.
Ok your character thingy made me subscribe immediately, the video was the cherry on top
CREAMPUFF
Creampuff.
definitely enjoyed this new style of editing 👌
I also loved how he's also a smart fighter.
Like he has high combat intellect
especially with the Macaron fight.
@@mvshaddymanaig8682 my man dragged macaron with his little finger when everyone thought that would be his biggest obstacle
Glad to see this series getting good attention, I enjoyed it quite a bit since it reminded me of things like Saiki K & One Punch, CREAM PUFF
Watched the first episode and I loved it! Thanks Mangakamen!
3:13 when it comes to Yuji, his journey stared of of saving everyone in order for them to die a proper death, but due to Sukuna(who was inside his body and doesn’t care what happens to Yuji) being responsible the destruction of Shibuya, he had a mental breakdown and his ideology changed thanks to Mahito, who killed Junpei before Shibuya, Nanimi and Nobara.
i really love the wizard 101 music in the conclusion, such a nice touch to the wizard theme.
Mash is a great protagonist humble almost all the time, creative, and good friend 😄 SPOILER: the chapter 74 when he study with his friends is my favorite chapter in the manga, because mash wanna give up but his friends keep chering him up, till him do it rigth and that feels Human and Real. (Sorry for my english)
you did NOT have to throw that bombshell of a nostalgia trip on me at 0:20 man...
Is it just me or does Mash look like Yu Narukami from Persona 4 only with black hair?
Edit: Okay just finished the first episode and it’s official: I’m hooked.
That first episode made me cry.
What can I say I’m a sucker for good father and son stories.
Alright I know what I’m binging now.
I'm just amused I'm not the only one who still like and remembers the song "With Me"🦔👍🏾
lol
Thanks for the recommendation.
Hope you like it
Interesting insights, love your content as always thougb I was surprised that you don't often find an anime that catches your eye these days, I would've thought you'd definitely be a demon slayer or jjk fan
As a big MP100 fanboy, i'm honestly planning on watching this one just because this guy looks and feels like a direct opposite, parallel universe version of Mob LMAO. Bowlcut dude with no magic powers and mad muscles and confidence to make up for it. It also looks funny as hell and the 2nd season opening is a total bop.
This anime is literally just... "Harry Spotter."
I had zero expectations for this show. Saw the trailer a week before it came out and thought it looked like a cheap Harry Potter parody cashing in on Hogwarts Legacy. I was very wrong and it ended up being one of the few shows I was looking forward to each week
I watched it before the audience boom of season 2 and I loved it and I'm happy that more people are watching it
i like mashle specifically because it takes the piss out of harry potter lol
That goated backround song after the intro is fight the knight from the sonic knight game starts at 0:23
(Cream Puff) Also, the DnD comparison is one reason I love Playing Human Fighters in most campaigns I get the chance to play. I love being just a dude with a sword and a dream in a world of Magic and Dragons.
nice video and that friday night ending 10/10 might read
Its fun seeing how even with characters that curb stomp the world, there are very human stories to be told.
Saitama actually develops as a character and his story mirrors that of the author in many ways. He starts the series depressed. He has no real challenges and thinks a real good fight will solve his problems.
But its later in the series where that isn't relevant anymore. Even fighting Garo who can finally match him, he doesn't care. He's built a circle of friends and cares for them. Its they that gave him new purpose
This Anime is a STATEMENT that's for sure now time to listen to Serious Steel the 50th time
I was hyped when this got anime since i've been an avid reader of the manga
The reason it works is he's not a victim and earns his ability to kick ass by working harder than everyone else.
A lesson people REALLY need to learn these days.
Mash could have cried all day on twitter because life didn't treat him as a god... Instead he lifted
Lore of The Anime that Says F*ck Your Magic - Mashle: Magic and Muscles momentum 100
So let say this, you earned my subscription, just from the Muscle Wizard bit. I couldn't stop laughing 😂
Starting off the new year great so far looking forward to it also cream puff.
Happy new year!
@@Mangakamen thanks you too
The volleyball bump always kills me, Mash just playing with his food.
Man i love the manga, the day I found out about it was the same day I found out about the anime’s release
8:39 Mash got that Kirby knowledge
The 2 season of Mashle begins today 🤩 i hope you like it
I'm usually hesitant to sub to new channels, but this is really well done. Nice job :)
Thank you very much, I hope you enjoy the content going forward.
After Mashle, I hope we will get an anime adaptation of Mahou? Sonna Koto Yori Kinniku da!
Very similar premise, with a likeable main character who focused on muscle training in a magi dominated world, to a point where he became immune to magic.
Instead of being an asshole about this or the people around him looking down on him, Yuri (the mc) continues being his own goof ball self and wins the respect and admiration of people through his actions. While his goal is to inspire more people to work on their muscles, it is down right funny just how extreme his training regime is.
GDI KAMEN, MY BACKLOG OF ANIMES IS ALREADY TOO LONG! XD
Looks hilariously insane. Also CREAM PUFF. XP
Wait a minute…is that wizzard 101 commons in the background?!
The difference between Mash and a Gary Stu is that one is protected by Author-sama while the other is fighting tooth and nail to keep himself and his friends alive.
Note that 90% of Mash's downtime is either spent eating cream puffs or sleeping to regain energy for his workouts. This guy is the definition of grindmaxxing.
My major problem with Shonen Protagonists is that they will often fall on the stereotypes that I'm just tired of seeing:
Young adult who is overlooked at first but after a certain event gain powers to beat the crap out of his enemies, often relying on "Power of Friendship" where each arc have a villain with a much higher power level forces them to trains in a short amount of time to get a new power boost and often enough awakening a new transformation/Evil Side Power Up where they have to often battle against it unless they want to become Hot Topic incarnated with the options of said protagonist being as dumb as a rock overall and/or being a black hole of obliviousness about the female(s) advances on them.
I already saw that once in Dragon Ball and after finishing Naruto, everything else feels like "Second Verse, Same as the First".
back from.watching it cause about 1/3rd through the vid I HAD to binge it. you are absolutely right This show was amazing and I will be binging the manga. especially after that season 2 hook YA CANT LEAVE PEOPLE HANGING like that it should be criminal for animes to do this! lol. wonderful vid all round man!
ah shoot forgot to say it CREAMPUFF
As much as i like the series for what it is, I feel like it just didnt have enough time to come together. I really liked the Harry Potter parody a lot, but we never really got to see much of the world or characters that live in it or what the school was really like. It always just feel like it was blazing towards its conclusion. Especially after the obligatory "tournament arc" where the main bad guy just sort of "shows up". While a decent bit of the laughs is how things abruptly begin and end (ala OPM, which this series cribs a lot from), theres just not enough downtime for the characters to breath or get to know. I think i completely forgot what magic the little brother character does because he never uses it until near the end of the manga. Just a shame really.
Finn? His magic is support type, mostly on healing and it's pretty powerful too. But sadly it never got used properly other than the fight with his brother :(
No way bro pulled out the wizard101 music at the end.
My theory is that his real tat is on the inside of of his body, and that his power is extreme muscle growth
I kinda want to see the alternate Universe where Mashle just says No in episode one and slaps the official across town.
Bigger and bigger bounty hunters would just keep showing up at his door and getting beat down.
Mashle is an immovable object once he gets worked up... at least in his world. He didn't really have to agree to anything... he is just nice enough to only beat up people who really need it.
Mash is basically a himbo
I can kinda see that.
18:53 that wizard101 music just hits so good😮
Hey Kamen, have you seen 'The wrong way to use Healing magic'? It's about this guy who accidentally gets isekai'd along with two schoolmates who are to be heroes and uses healing magic to get demonic physical strength.
I like how you added "fight the knight" as the background music
what that music at 0:48
Serious steel it's from the show.
@@totallyuniquename5044 Thank you
Out of all the funny fights and great parody in this series, I think some of my favorite parts are whenever he gives a simple physical attack some magic attack name, and when someone calls him out and he gets so nervous that he'll be found out.
Cream Puff.
Nice to see the new Kamen art this video!
I thought it would be Steinsgate. Oh well.
Mash looks like Yu Narukami if he became a demifiend. He looks about ready to harness the power of bonds to punch God in the face.
If One Punch Man and Black Clover had a baby.
What I like about it too is when there is not much action happening the comedy, even if it's just anyone talking, nicely fits. It feels like actual friends roasting each other or them hanging out but it doesn't feel forced either.

Hes such a "Mash" up of characters.
you didn't even mention the banger intro!
I HAVE HAVE THIS BOOK FOR 2 YEARS AND I HAD NO IDEA I EVEN HAD IT UNTIL 8:45 WHEN YOU SHOWED THE COVER
im gonna read it for the first time (i never read it i just have it)
I really appreciate your more moderate take on anime. Every year people seem to get more and more pretentious and critical instead of just enjoying something. Sure when something different or mold-breaking comes along it's fantastic, but that doesn't make everything else bad. Like, just fuckin enjoy the ride instead of trying to be the Roger Ebert of anime. At a certain point the only thing killing your enjoyment is your own shitty attitude.
Based on what you are saying I think you would love the Kingkiller Chronicles magic called Sympathy. It is versatile but has roots in realism. Sympathy is basically physics without ropes and pullies.
"for my first magic trick is to turn your spine into a pretzel"

PC: I want to intimidate the magic paper.
DM: You can't do that.
PC: (rolls) Nat 20.
Mash: screw your magic square up *snaps some dude like a kit-kat bar*

I mean, yeah, that basically a part of the Hero's Journey, which is a story pattern that's been used since the beginning of time. It's used so much because it's familiar to every single human society.
Mash is such a great protagonist because he's such a great person. He's decided the way his world works is wrong, and it has to change. He basically feels like this worlds Superman, bro showed up and started doing anything he could to improve the world around him.
