Review: Mashle Magic & Muscles

By Dageeta

Mashle season 2 trailer
 Yesterday, as I scrolled on my guilty-pleasure anime site for something fun and new, because I was bored of rewatching old series like Naruto Shippuden, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, etc., I stumbled on Mashle: Magic & Muscles and I was pleasantly satisfied. It had the right blend of comedy and action and sentiment that I was seeking.

Mashle is a story about Mash, a Saitama-like character living in a magic-is-everything world, quite like Black Clover. Mashle takes comedy as the priority and every episode delivers on the humor front. The stakes are clear but aren't exaggerated like in other shonen (such as Black Clover or My Hero Academia).

Mash's workout


I was able to enjoy Mashle enough to complete the first season in a night. It was very fun and entertaining, and the introductory episode guarantees the next will be at least just as fun and worth the watch, unlike legacy shows such as Bleach or Yu Yu Hakusho which I can't bring myself to continue.

Mashle s1 e1


Mashle is a perfect blend of One Punch Man and Black Clover, but I must admit I say this because I watched OPM and BC before stumbling onto the fun-mine Mashle turned out to be.


Mashle turned out to be a great show, so I hope a lot more anime fans will watch it so that it will be rated higher.

I'm currently waiting for the English dub to be released before watching season 2. Apparently, Aniplex of America is fond of releasing the English dub only after a show is almost midway done, so I've got to wait.

Migatte no Gokui: How Goku used Ultra Instinct in the DBS anime

By Dageeta

Goku first drew on Ultra Instinct in his battle against Jiren the grey, by far the strongest opponent the Saiyan had ever faced. Yet, with his limit being super saiyan blue, he had no answer for Jiren's sheer power... until, he awoke Ultra Instinct -- migatte no gokui . DBS anime... Whis teaches both Goku and Vegeta prior to their battle against the resurrected Freeza that they need to learn to allow their bodies to move without conscious thought and that once they overcome that hurdle, they'll have the speed to evade all damage. Tournament Of Power Recap Goku first activates Ultra Instinct in the tournament of power against Jiren, when all his power (super Saiyan blue plus kaioken times 20 and a powerful spirit bomb) aren't enough to defeat him. First, Goku's eyes become stern and focused, and he has a brilliant gradient aura after he unlocks incomplete ultra instinct. Then against Kefla, Goku finds incomplete ultra instinct again but this time, he delves much deeper i...

Mitsuki's Troubled Heart: The Deep significance of his Sun

By Dageeta

Mitsuki is confused. The Kawaki that he thinks is his sun isn't acting the way he remembers. Unfortunately Mitsuki hasn't yet caught on to the fact that he's under the Omnipotence Spell and trapped into remembering the opposite of the past. Chapter 7 appears to be about Mitsuki's grapple against Omnipotence: whether he'll discover that Boruto is the real son of Lord seventh or still trapped in the opposite reality that Kawaki is his Sun. Mitsuki's a kind person, quite like Naruto and its clear that he's in great distress because he's misaligned and acting very contrary to his normal self. Mitsuki's unable to tame his rage, and thus is securely locked into the Omnipotence shinjutsu Eida unconsciously activated. However Mitsuki's having some doubts, he appears to be reevaluating his resolve to kill Boruto, the man he believes is responsible for causing hurr to his sun. Chapter 7 will show us what Mitsuki's thinking and feeling and if Mitsuki...

The real Reason Anime English Sub is so popular in the West

By Dageeta

  You've probably seen comments like Sub is better than Dub, or Dub is better than Sub; and while we all agree that it boils down to preference and thus a pointless debate, there's are objective reasons behind English sub's popularity online in the West. If you searched on YouTube for anime like Naruto or other greatly popular tv series, you'll find sub almost 8 out of 10 times. But why would American anime fans want to watch a show in a language they don't speak? #1 Remember it's not Western The number one reason for english sub's popularity in the West stems from Western viewers' desire to remember that their tv show isn't a Western product. Anime English sub fans in the West will watch anime in English dub because they don’t want to forget that they are watching a Japanese show. They want to see/identify what keeps Japanese fans of the show glued to the story. #2 Enjoy that it's Foreign & New The second reason why they watch anime in Engli...
