My biggest praise of Mashle...

is also my biggest critique of Black Clover.

Let me explain.

I watched Black Clover long before I watched Mashle and I was so excited for Asta to rise above everyone else with nothing but his muscles and the hard work he put in over the years.

I was very disappointed when Asta got his own Grimoire. Sure, it's anti-magic and it still sticks to the theme but later on he gets even more of a power-up and that annoyed me too.

Black Clover is still a great show. I like it a lot. But I do wish he'd taken the Rock Lee/Guy Sensei route of nothing but muscle.

And that's my biggest praise for Mashle. Aside from....literally everything else about the show. Mash never gets magic power. He continues to win against everyone with nothing but muscle and raw talent. And that's it.

I love that concept so much.

I haven't read the manga yet but if you'd like to leave a very light spoiler about if he continues to never use magic, that'd be fine.

Anyway, I'm going back to watching it. I actually prefer the dub for once because I swear Mash's voice actor is just perfect.
