Just discovered Mashle last week, and binged it very quick. The central theme of the show revolves around a class war, the magic elite vs the less magical masses. There is a corrupt government that only works for that elite class and their interests, that wants the hero dead. The main character defends himself only after he or his friends are attacked, beats the hell out of them, then wins people over with kindness. I’m choosing to view it more socialist leaning than it was perhaps intended but to each their own.
I wasn’t especially impressed with Mashle. It felt pretty one note to me. Although the line “it is called the magic realm because it is a world that has magic” really knocked my socks off.
I wouldn’t call it the deepest show, but I think it’s entertaining. The humor is great for sure
I havent heard of it before but it looks like i have a new show to start!
Haven’t watched it but thanks for the recommendation. A show I have started to get into recently with some good anti imperialist politics is Code Geoss.
I’m nearly caught up, and while it’s nothing groundbreaking, I’ve enjoyed the show a lot! Definitely laughed out loud a few times, and always enjoy a stupidly op main character easily taking out people who look down on them.
