Anime fans! We have some incredibly exciting news for you. Get ready magic, fun and… muscles in MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES. The English dub will begin streaming weekly on Crunchyroll starting on Friday, May 26th at 20:30 PM BST, which was officially announced at Anime Central 2023 during Aniplex’s panel on Saturday, May 20th in Chicago. The lucky attendees were also given a special preview of episode one along with a full breakdown of the English dub cast.
Meet the English Dub cast:
- Aleks Le (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba; VINLAND SAGA) as Mash Burnedead, a rare young man who cannot use magic. Although he crushes all types of magic with his well-trained muscles, he lacks common sense and tends to do as he pleases. He loves cream puffs.
- Brian Anderson (Ascendance of a Bookworm) as Finn Ames, Mash’s dorm roommate. He is the straight man (tsukkomi) of their antics and Mash’s first friend.
- Stephen Fu (The Case Study of Vanitas) as Lance Crown, a good-looking young man who ranked first among the transfer exam students. He has considerable magical power, and is top of the class in academic performance.
- Ben Diskin (The Seven Deadly Sins) as Dot Barrett, an impulsive and noisy young man. He’s the unpopular type with a strong hatred for good-looking guys.
- Anjali Kunapaneni (Fena: Pirate Princess) as Lemon Irvine, has had a crush on Mash since he helped her during the transfer exams. She’s imaginative to say the least.
So, what is Mashle: Magic And Muscles? Well, it’s as ludicrous and ridiculous as it sounds, and we can’t wait. If you love your fantasy shows and enjoy laughing until your 6-pack hurts, then Mashle is the show for you.
This is a world of magic. This is a world in which magic is casually used by everyone. In a deep, dark forest in this world of magic, there is a boy who is single-mindedly working out.
His name is Mash Burnedead, and he has a secret. He can’t use magic.
All he wanted was to live a quiet life with his family, but people suddenly start trying to kill him one day and he somehow finds himself enrolled in Magic School. There, he sets his sights on becoming a “Divine Visionary,” the elite of the elite. Will his ripped muscles work against the best and brightest of the wizarding world?
The curtain rises on this off-kilter magical fantasy in which the power of being jacked crushes any spell!
