One of the biggest new anime of the spring 2023 season has been the story focused on the young would-be wizard, Mash Burnedead. Mashle: Magic And Muscles follows our protagonist who has little to no knowledge in the realm of magic, but has trained himself to the point wherein his strength almost is on a similar plane as Saitama, aka One-Punch Man. With the first season only a few episodes in, the anime adaptation has announced that this week will see the release of a special episode.

Mashle clearly pays homage to the Harry Potter series, as Mash attempts to enter a magical school that has more than a few similarities to Hogwarts. While Burnedead doesn’t have the slightest idea how to perform any magical spells, his wild strength has allowed him to pull off feats such as pretending to fly a broom by kicking his legs so hard that he hovers above the air. While the Mashle anime still might have additional seasons ahead of it, the Mashle manga is currently in the throes of its final arc as our powerful protagonist continues his quest to become the “Divine Visionary”. Needless to say, the series has left its mark on the anime community.

Regardless of what transpires in this upcoming installment, it’s clear that Mash is going to be chowing down on plenty of cream puffs.
