In summary, it's about a boy who has no magical abilities, but instead he is very strong. The protagonist is not very smart (nicely expressed) and is forced to go to a magic school to become the best mage, without magic skills.
The villain of the piece is a cartoonishly nasty corrupt cop, made to be over-the-top cocky so that it s supposedly extra satisfying when Mash knocks him down a peg at the episode s climax. The opening and ending credits tease the introduction of one, singular female main character, who has been gifted the character trait of obsessed with the protagonist.

MASHLE: Magic and Muscle – Episode 1
Content warning: Brief/implied torture, police brutality played seriously and as a joke, brief depiction of an attempted suicide, an obsession with “pure bloodlines” as part of the fantasy worldbuilding
What’s it about? In a world where magic is commonplace, Mash is Not Like Other Kids by virtue of having no magic powers at all. But Mash has something else, something that might just be more powerful than the most intricate, legendary spell: he’s BUFF.
Fantasy allows us to ask exciting, imaginative “what if?” questions, like “what if this guy punched a wizard in the face? Would that be funny or what?”
I can’t help but feel like this show is phoning it in a little bit. It’s not a bad premise, especially for a series tinged with comedy, but there’s a distinct… lack of effort in the execution. One of the opening lines of this episode is “It is called the Magic Realm because it is a world that has magic,” so that’s the level of worldbuilding nuance we’re working with here.
Can we let my poor boy Emiya Shirou retire and make this the new “people die if they are killed”?Mashle pulls off my favorite (sarcasm) combo move, which is where characters dump information on the viewer in internal narration and yet, at the same time, I come away feeling like I know nothing about the place they inhabit or how it works beyond “eh, insert the generic rules and expectations from the last Wizard School book series you read.” Do not pay close attention to the anachronistic hodgepodge of medieval, Edwardian, and modern-day aesthetics in the clothing and technology. Do not ask questions like “why have they invented phones?” or “why do only some people need wands to cast spells whereas that guy over there seemed to be levitating stuff with his bare hands?” or “if everyone has magic, are the so-called ‘magic police’ not just the police?” No thoughts. Just vibes.
I’m latching onto these genre-specific gripes because every other element of the show gives me so, so little to talk about. Mash is deadpan and dumb as bricks in a way I think we’re supposed to find funny and endearing. He has an insatiable craving for his favorite food, cream puffs, which is at least one (1) character trait and personal motivation. His adoptive father figure is a generic Wise Old Guy with martial arts skills in one hand and a shallow tragic backstory in the other. The villain of the piece is a cartoonishly nasty corrupt cop, made to be over-the-top cocky so that it’s (supposedly) extra satisfying when Mash knocks him down a peg at the episode’s climax.
[carnival music plays, clown horn honks]Same as it ever was, same as it ever was. There’s nothing new or fresh here—just ideas so often reused that they’re starting to smell. The magic academy Mash visits at the end even looks suspiciously exactly like Hogwarts, as if this show said to itself “hmm, we haven’t done enough to put Alex off… I know! Let’s make them think about Harry Potter and J.K Rowling!”
The opening and ending credits tease the introduction of one, singular female main character, who has been gifted the character trait of “obsessed with the protagonist.” Maybe if Mash had a bit more personality I’d be inclined to suspend my disbelief. As it is, he’s just a plank of wood stealing Mob’s haircut, in a series that feels creatively bankrupt even in its attempts at humor. While it’s honestly not the worst thing out there in terms of goofy, unimaginative male-led fantasy shows, that’s a… pretty low bar to clear, and I can’t say that Mashle will be holding my attention.

Reviews for "Capturing the Spirit: Witchy Emojis for iPhone Users"
- Michelle - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Witchy emojis iPhone app. First of all, the emojis were not that cute or well-designed. They looked more like clip art from the 90s rather than modern and stylish emojis. Secondly, there weren't enough emoji options to choose from. I was expecting a wide variety of witchy-themed emojis, but there were only a handful. Lastly, the app was riddled with glitches and crashed frequently. Overall, I would not recommend this app to anyone looking for fun and high-quality witchy emojis.
- Jason - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Witchy emojis iPhone app, but it fell flat for me. While the emojis themselves were decent, the app lacked features and customization options. There was no way to resize or choose different skin tones for the emojis. Additionally, the app had a slow response time, causing frustration when trying to select and send emojis. With the plethora of emoji apps available, I would suggest looking elsewhere for better witchy emojis.
- Sarah - 2 stars - The Witchy emojis iPhone app had potential, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The design and quality of the emojis were average at best. I was hoping for more creativity and uniqueness in the witch-themed emojis, but they felt generic and uninspiring. Furthermore, the app was not user-friendly. It was hard to navigate through the different emoji categories, and the search function didn't always yield accurate results. Overall, I was left wanting more from this app.
