A-1 Pictures really turned this adaptation of "Mashle" around. The first season is really nothing to write home about especially if you have already read the manga. This may be mostly because the content it is adapting is just better. Both the opening and closing are great. The animation was quite good. The art style is a perfect fit for the story. It basically looks like a colored manga. The characters are funny. It was just a good time all around. This is probably the best A-1 pictures adaptation of a shonen jump title. It is better than the first season in every conceivable way.
