- John - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "Mashle muscles and magic ep 1" because I had heard good things about it. However, I was really disappointed with the first episode. The animation was subpar and the storyline was confusing. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and the whole episode felt rushed. I hope it gets better in the next episodes, but for now, I'm not impressed.
- Sarah - 1 star - I can't believe I wasted my time watching "Mashle muscles and magic ep 1". The plot was just a mess, and the animation was choppy and uninspired. None of the characters were interesting or likable, and the whole episode felt like a poor imitation of better fantasy anime. I have no intention of continuing to watch this series.
