In the realm of anime, surprises often come in the most unexpected forms. Spring 2023 witnessed the rise of an unexpected hero – Mash Burnedead. He’s not your typical sorcerer but is someone who’s better at throwing punches than casting spells. While “Mashle: Magic and Muscles” may draw parallels with other well-known magical universes, it has carved its unique niche with a blend of humor and wit. But what lies ahead for our cream-puff-loving protagonist?
Season 2: What We Know So Far
The anticipation reached its zenith when the show’s official Twitter account broke the news: Season 2 is on its way and will grace our screens in January 2024. As fans hold their breath, speculations and expectations build.
Familiar Voices, New Characters
The heart of any anime is its voice cast, and “Mashle” fans will be delighted to know that their favorite characters from the first 12 episodes are making a return:
- Mash Burnedead voiced by Chiaki Kobayashi (JP) and Aleks Le (EN)
