I couldn’t agree more. My brother hosts shitty anime night on discord once a week where we watch all the trashy/bad anime airing during the season with drinking rules. We watched Mashle thinking it was going to end up being so bad that it becomes good, but it stayed good all through the first season… but by the time we got around to watching the episodes I was already so drunk that I didn’t remember the plot.

When I saw the S2 OP for the first time I knew I had to go back and rewatch the show sober and fell in love with how good the humor and pacing is.
