Aniplex released a new promotional video during the Aniplex Online Fest 2022 event for the TV anime adaptation of Hajime Komoto's Mashle: Magic and Muscles manga series that also announces that Chiaki Kobayashi will be voicing Mash Burnedead.
The anime will be a "complete" adaptation.
Viz describes the story as:
In the magic realm, magic is everything—everyone can use it, and one’s social status is determined by their skill level. Deep in the forest, oblivious to the ways of the world, lives Mash. Thanks to his daily training, he’s become a fitness god, but he harbors a secret that could turn his life upside down—he can’t use magic! When he’s found out, rather than his life being over, he’s unexpectedly enrolled in magic school, where he must beat the competition!
An official website and Twitter account have been opened with the initial announcement.
Mashle: Magic and Muscles is set to premiere in 2023.

Chiaki Kobayashi Comments:
I had enjoyed the original story as a reader for a long time.
I was really happy when I heard that I passed the audition.
I will try to be able to make delicious cream puffs.
Mash is a boy whose facial expression doesn't change much and at first glance it looks as if he doesn't know what he is thinking.
But inside he is a straight and gentle boy who is very considerate of his friends and family.
Because of this, I believe he will be able to deliver words that will resonate straight to the hearts of both friend and foe alike.
I am looking forward to the recording sessions.
This work is loved by many people, and I myself am a fan of the work.
I will do my best so that you can enjoy it. Thank you very much!
