The Harry Spotter the boy who lifted anime was very good

As a guy who has read Mashle from beginning to End, i was never bored. Every arc was very entertaining.

I might literally save this and send to people to explain how I feel about anime these days. I always say “it was the okay-est anime” in response to most things I watch. It’s not a diss, things are just, fine. And just like you Mob and Chainsaw man are probably the two contemporary anime’s I’ve really enjoyed because they both did things very unique.

This video resonated a lot as a 29 year old

We see a lot of fighting manga/anime that shows either workouts you can imitate on a realistic lvl or techniques and combos you can reenact, but I wanna see more realism in terms of advanced strategies and tactics

Fitness + goat = jaxblade ❤

I feel the same way about a lot of the new shows. Not that they aren’t good it’s a lot of the same stuff.
I watched avatar the last air bender for the first time, and became obsessed. Lol I’m so obsessed that I’ve read rise of kyoshi and yangchen.
I’m also a fan of my hero academia, but I wish it had more world building. As a fan of both I’ve decided to write a mesh of both. Don’t know if it’s any good, but I enjoy it.

The fact that there's another human who remembers Monster Ranchers AND Flint the Time Detective makes me feel heard lol

What i like most about Mash is how he matches his ego with the villians and throws them off their game other than that I'll admit there really wasnt much inspiration to workout nor was it the center focus of the plot there will be more excercise related stuff in other seasons but still wont be center focus #HULKSMASH

Mash is like a Level 100 Strength and Dexterity Build put into the Tutorial Level, but his brain is Level 1. Except when he drops the coldest lines to clap back at people. Because if there's one thing we know he's good at, it's flexing.

I cackled when Jax listed Baki among the more "grounded" anime, but I totally get what he means

Jax Ive spent the last 15 years trying to remember the anime Tenchi Muyo, thank you man 😂 Its been great following you these years, and watching our tastes change.

I read all of Mashle and thought it was a nice humorous story. Recently started reading Black Clover last week and omg…Mashle really took heavy heavy inspiration from the series, right down to a character with a sister complex. Still, I enjoy it. It’s kind of my junk food type of show to read.

HULKSMASH I completely agree. I actually found myself watching less anime overall and selectively choosing series to pick up. EDIT: I am super happy you brought up Samurai Pizza Cats. I watch a lot when I was little and thought my brother and I were the only people that watched. Cause every time I would bring it up during “nostalgia” talks with friends, no had ever seen it.

HULKSMASH I appreciate you giving a break down of your evolution of tastes and very much relate to it in how my tastes have changed as I’ve gotten older. And thank you for acknowledging how saying you didn’t love an anime but still enjoy it is acceptable as well as discussing how some people on the internet overreact to that kind of opinion. I think it’s perfectly fine to like or dislike any anime, show, or other media, nobody needs to love something just cause you love it, we should just be supportive of peoples interests. I enjoyed Mashle, didn’t love it, but enjoyed it, and I’m glad you enjoyed Mashle too.

I love Mashle. It was one of the random pickups in BAM and I've been on it since. Its really funny, I like the magic being used in quick and entertaining ways, and even the mangaka blurbs are fun to read because its letting me understand that dude be goin through it to get in that spot he's in and keep it going and I wish I could thank him directly for this.

Hulksmash!
Holy heck I was born 3 yrs after you (1993 baby here) and your tastes evolved the same way mine did. I'm in the sport/slice of life anime phase.
I at Ch.42 of Mashle and I do agree, Mash is the only one I generally care for (and a recent character who has an Evil Eye). My sort of issue really is that there is just one new threat after another without much breathing room to sit and enjoy the villain or other characters.

HULKSMASH.

Yeah, dude. What you’re saying in this video — totally behind it. It’s funny how our tastes change over the years — and I’ve got to say — I struggle with high fantasy series nowadays, opting for more grounded series where the powers/fighting are a tad more realistic.

Time and place for everything.

#HULKSMASH I can name a few other characters but it’s really just Mash that keeps me in the series; a simple dude who’s a badass normal and Charles Atlas together

I haven't watched the anime, but I have read the manga, and that was FIRE. I'll be interested to hear Jax's take.
