Given the popularity of the second season's opening, I don't know how this show is not getting more attention and praise, this is a masterclass in anime comedy.
It was a major surprise to me, as probably many others I decided to watch it since the second season opening became a viral phenomenon, I wasn't expecting too much, just a silly, light story but I was blown away with the quality.
This is a smart and incredibly funny parody, full of meta dialogue and references, it's at the same time a homage and a satire to many other anime's and the common elements that a lot of them share (the underdog hero, funny supporting characters, changing the current evil society system, etc).
It somehow manages to be funny, probably the anime that made me laugh the most, with incredibly ridiculous and silly moments but at the same time it has a strong and interesting plot, I don't know how they pulled this off but it works in perfect harmony.
It doesn't take itself too seriously it's a perfect example on how to make a really great satire.
Sometimes shows overall have trouble in finding the right tone, they are either suppose to be really serious and the comedy doesn't work or they are suppose to be ludicrous and the serious tone doesn't come across as intense as it should; Mashle just hits the right spot.
The characters are amazing both the support ones and of course Mash himself.
It also goes without saying that of course this is a clear tribute to Harry Potter, it uses many elements of the Wizarding World, once again giving it a feel of both homage as well as a bit of satire, making a bit of fun of the plot holes of the saga (this is coming from a huge Harry Potter fan); and I really loved it!
I am really looking forward for its completion and I hope they don't cancel until the full story is told in anime format.
