Boku no Hero Academia the Movie 1: Futari no Hero

Disclaimer: I watched the Japanese subbed version of this film. I am here… to write a review! I watched this movie in theatres and gave it some careful planning before writing this review to let the hype die down. It was amazing though. Story: Overall, the story is nothing surprising, (but as far as anime movie spinoffs go it’s a 10) the plot points are well executed and the pacing seemed to have a similar fast pace as the series is known for, although some parts had me internally complaining it was a little too slow (some of Act One), it managed to slow down as much as necessary to not feel rushed. And the best part is, it’s canon (although timeline placement is a bit messy)! An 8/10 for story. Art and Animation: It was almost a 10/10. Almost. The climaxes and fight scenes were legendary, but there were a couple points in the non-action scenes where it is too easy to see where some corners needed to be cut (to make those scenes as good as they were), so unfortunately, it’s knocked back to a 9/10. Sound: This one is sitting on about an 8.5/10, rounding up. The score was well done, implementing many of our well-known pieces wonderfully, and underscoring the scenes they were placed in very well, not to mention the use of the lack of sound in some scenes to further provide a sense of gravity to the situation when it was needed. The voice acting for all recurring characters was up to standard, and for the movie-only characters, it was superb and utterly convincing regardless of the character’s emotions. In all, well done. Characters: The characters in this film; the expression of the characters, the character designs and the voice acting, of characters new and old, stayed faithful to our views of them, and the film-only characters were well-fleshed out and came to life during the short run of the film. No one suddenly acted out of character, and existing characters weren’t broken at all during the run of the film, making it feel much more authentic and immersive. A 9/10 for characters. Enjoyment: I loved this movie and as I walked out I wanted to immediately go back in and watch it again, especially in dub (which I haven’t seen of the film but would like to). The absolute best moments had me in awe, and I even managed to laugh out loud at a couple of the jokes made, not to mention how amazing it was to see some scenes of Young All Might in action! If I keep talking, I’ll start gushing because 24 hours isn’t enough to kill the hype train in me yet. A 10/10 for enjoyment. Overall: Overall, this was a very good movie. As both an extension of the existing series, and as a stand-alone film (as it gives a quick overview of the general plot to give new viewers context, but not to annoy the old viewers). I would recommend it to all fans of the series, and whilst it is somewhat suited to newcomers, in the sense of recaps for context, I would not recommend this be someone’s first introduction to the series (although it wouldn’t be bad, but it spoils S1 and S2 plot points). My overall score for this anime is a solid 9/10.

It was fun, I mean it wasn't spectacular? It was fun. Do you know what I mean? As stated before by others, it's incredibly predictable and unoriginal (that sounds so bad but come on, what did we really expect) but it's still a pretty good time. I would say it is not necessary to watch this movie to understand the series at all. It has some lore but I don't think will affect the main series in the slightest. Art style remains the same from the series, very high quality. The characters are as you would expect from the series: kind of generic, predictable (sorry but let's be honest), but still fun (I don't know how else to describe this movie...). Again, it was fun, nothing amazing.

Wasted 20 dollars on this movie, because my brother begged me to buy it at or local walmart and i practically fell asleep, it was boring and everything that's supposed to be some sort of surprise wasn't, you could guess them from a mile away, first off deku and all might were supposed to be on this resort island alone as a trip but than all of a sudden we just have all the other A1 students just show up out of no where to do what? you guest it to fight a villain that had come to attack like every other time i found it just a waste of money and time. i would understand if you were a big fan of the original show but to be frank im not, maybe that's why i didn't enjoy this movie as much as some people but i found it boring and just uneventful won't recommend

I'll keep this short in light of the hype BNHA has: this was ultimately a rehash of all your favourite things in the first and second seasons, made bland by repetition. • Story (5/10) Picking up from the middle of the second season, it introduces a much awaited glimpse into All Might's past and his affiliations, whilst managing the present day events. The former does not disappoint, but the current happenings to "UA's finest" is the same old formula of: a) meeting up with friends and introduction of new characters b) their fun days are spoiled with the appearance of villains c) they struggle to plan and defeat villains d) [expected] twist nearing the conclusion e) after an emotional flashback they defeat said (somewhat overpowered) villains Unless you are still not tired of the age-old shounen series story pacing, then the plot moves at a snail's pace in reaching its climax and will bore you as it sags underneath its own weight in the middle. • Art (7/10) As expected of Studio Bones, they do deliver. The art style, while not going through massive changes, is perhaps the saving grace of the movie. It is smooth and colourful, with proper attention to certain details and going full blast on the fight scenes. Keeping in stride with the manga's original artwork, the broad strokes and sometimes exaggerated actions used really highlight the movie's homage to American comics of old. • Sound (6/10) While it may not boast the best soundtrack, even reusing some tracks from seasons 1 and 2, it is mediocre. The tracks pump adrenaline into the scenes but fail to elicit any major emotional response from the audience. It certainly could have done better in this department, considering its track record with soundtracks. • Character (5/10) Personally, I could not bring myself to care much for the new characters introduced, especially not the two-bit villains this time around. The Shields are great additions whose potential was lost with deliberate shoe-horning of emotional events. Melissa is the star as she interacts the most with the UA team, and presents herself as a brave lady who is brilliant in IT even with her "handicap". David on the other hand, is painted as a generic character who oscillates between the greater good and personal good at the very end. Though it would have been great to know more about his adventures with All Might, unfortunately audiences were not treated with that this time around. As for the villains with their similar goals and aspirations to every other villain out there; let's just say they pale in comparison to complex figures like Stain and Shigaraki. • Overall / Enjoyment (6/10) It was a movie that honestly, could have done a lot better. While it is great to see our favourite characters battling and bonding on screen once again, if the plot falls short the foundations would all come crashing down. Good scriptwriting is one of the major keys in making a story the audience cannot forget; and this movie of the BNHA franchise is unfortunately forgettable.

So i just finished watching this movie a few hours ago and yep here i am like some critic reviewing stuff . Don't know if anyone felt it or not but i definitely seen some naruto stuff in this movie although i am against comparing stuff and how every shounen is same, this had some naruto type of stuff in here i mean you know from how all of naruto movies were made some different some unique but i'm not talking about naruto here but from what i've noticed from plots of those movies...... yep this movie mixed 3-4 plots in it idk if they really did but i know a naruto plot from literally anything idk if this was coincidence or not but they definetley outdid those movies by twists and how things turn out..... i higly enjoyed this movie man this was some movie to watch in the afternoon, and yea other thing that daughter of scientist and midoriya should be a ship damn it i mean they got chemistry like clay and sound idk what that meant it actually doesn't make sense that one but anyway they got chemistry and they look good with eachother i'm not against uraraka but she the daughter of sceintist hit it off damn well with midorya i hope the creator of manga does them whole or i will...aside from naruto like scenes... it felt damn good boi......yea people that feel like me about this being naruto are you there? or it's only me?

Boku no Hero Academia the Movie: Futari no Hero is my first experience of watching an anime movie in a cinema, and I have to say it was pretty great! This review will contain some vague spoilers (such as mentioning new characters), so do not read if you have not seen the movie or care about these things. This is an original movie set (supposedly, it is actually somewhat confusing) in the time between the end of Season 2 and the start of Season 3, so before the Forest Training Camp Arc. It is a fast-paced, action-packed and well-animated side-story to the popular anime. In it, Deku and All Might head to the "I-Island" to attend a world-famous "I-Expo" where some of the best scientists in the world research quirks. This, however, is really an excuse for All Might to visit his old friend, but as one can easily guess, things do not go smoothly and villains interrupt their plans. Story - 7: Honestly, a pretty basic "villains VS. heroes" set-up, with a classic BnHA scenario of adult heroes being incapacitated, requiring the young UA students to rise to the occasion and save the day. There are some fairly predictable "plot-twists", but overall the movie has a very simple story line. Nothing really phenomenal, but just like the main series, this movie manages to work well and is enjoyable to watch. Art - 9: Amazing as always, Studio Bones is again showing how good and reliable it is. Nothing much to say here, if you have seen the main series, it will be more of the same excellent animation throughout the whole movie. I have to commend them for making the fight scenes especially "juicy" and you get to see all your favorite characters fight it out against the villains in very high quality. If I had to name the strengths of this movie, art is definitely one of them. Sound - 9: As usual, a job well done, both by the VAs and the soundtrack team. Most OST is re-used from the main series, however I think there is one or two original tracks, which were all great. Miyake Kenta as All Might is as great as ever, and I really enjoyed Koyama Rikya (VA for Takamura from Hajime no Ippo) as the main villain. Character - 7: Fan-favorite All Might and the protagonist Deku play the leading roles in this movie, with the familiar Class 1-A students joining in the action as the supporting cast. There are also two new major characters (which were previously mentioned in episode 20 of Season 3), Melissa and her dad Dave, who is All Might's friend from his early days of being a hero. I really liked that the movie provided some backstory to All Might, and I enjoyed the new character Melissa; however, I feel like the movie could have explored some of the aspects of these characters (such as Melissa being quirkless, and thus sympathetic to Deku's early struggles, and vice versa), and the friendship dynamic of Dave and All Might in a richer manner. Because they did not, Melissa especially feels like wasted potential, and is presented as merely this one-dimensional all-round perfect daddy's girl - perhaps that's what they aimed for, but in my opinion her character could have been effectively used for Deku's development. The villains are entirely forgettable, and other than a great seiyuu of the main villain and a small reference/nod to All for one, they were as bland and dull as possible. I guess the main villain had a somewhat interesting quirk, but that is all. The rest of the Class 1-A are not really developed in any significant manner, and reflect their current characterization in the main series (the slight hint of some romantic development between Deku and Uraraka at the very start is unfortunately used only as comedic relief). Overall, decent but could have been a lot better in my opinion. Enjoyment - 10: The most important aspect of any anime is how enjoyable and fun it actually is, and I have to say that despite some of the problems that I have written about, this movie was a blast to watch. Great comedy (despite the overuse of Mineta, which the main series suffers from as well), amazing fights, emotional moments - this movie has it all. If you are a fan of BnHA, you will have tons of fun watching it, and that is what really matters. Overall - 8: Overall, I really enjoyed this movie, especially given my experience of watching it on a big screen in a cinema. The story and characters could be better, however the animation and fights make up for that. If you are a fan of Boku no Hero Academia and cannot get enough of it, then I am sure you will greatly enjoy this side-story movie. It did not blow my mind, but it was worth my time and money, 8/10.

The moment this movie was announced, like any other BNHA fanboy, I could not wait to see it and obviously, my expectations were sky high. AND BOY did this movie NOT disappoint! Basically, the story digs a bit into All Might's past, closing some of the gaps in story line from the anime series. They had quite an epic ending battle scene that faintly reminds me of the ones in One Punch Man and numerous small battle scenes along the way. However, not every one from the class was shown in battle and this was a little disappointing, you can see that the directors only had intent of using only the more "main" characters for this movie. The art and sound were just like any other BNHA anime episodes, skillfully done. Especially the inclusion of the famous "You say Run" in the last fight scene which really helped brought up the hype. Looking at those fight scenes really made me feel like a 12 year old, cheering for the good guys. The end credits also included a pretty decent soundtrack. This movie really solidified the feel in me that BNHA is the Naruto of this generation, making all of us teens/adults hyped up like children in the fight scenes. When the movie ended I was left yearning for season 4 to come quicker and I know all of you guys will be too. Definitely a must watch!

To all Boku No Hero Academia fans, it is a must to watch this movie. Sure, the story is a bit simple, but, who cares, the only reason we're watching this movie, is to see the epic fight scene near the end of the movie. And, the epic music paired together with the epic fight scene, it makes it all more worth while to watch it. Good music, good scene, hey, what can go wrong with such amazing combo. I watched it in the cinema, which made the experience all so more amazing. Seriously though, even if your not a BNHA fans, you should try and watch this movie, and, hey, who knows, maybe it will make ya interested in the series as well

Go beyond your limit! PLUS ULTRA! (i literally wanted to scream my lungs out watching this) MY HERO ACADEMIA - TWO HEROES *REVIEW* *POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD I actually didn't expect much when i'm about to watch this movie because i watched BONES' Bungou Stray Dogs movie, Dead Apple. But boy am i glad that this movie really go beyond my expectation! The premise of the story fits in when UA students are having a school break and some of them got an invitation to a man-made island filled with scientist and hi-tech stuffs, I-Island which also having a pre-opening to the public (previously private). The island have top-tier security, and always compared to Tartarus, the famous prison in MHA universe. But despite that, a group of villains manages to break in. Now it's the heroes' job to fight the villains and save the day! *STORY* As the title suggests, this movie highlights its two stars, that is Toshinori and Midoriya. While the opening act features a powerful blow from young Toshinori when he studies in USA, some might think that probably nothing can tops this act for the rest of the movie, lemme tell you this, that is a gravely wrong assumption. That opening act also serves as Toshinori's and his best friend, Dave's, backstory. The overall story itself serves as Midoriya's growth as a character as there are people and conditions that made him guilt tripping at some points in the movie, and that made me want this story somehow canonized. While as we can see from the trailer, not all the students of class A are shown, that is to serve for better purpose and reasons behind it. They managed to highlights each of the students' power and how they contribute to each other to help people, all within the timeframe of 95 minutes, even made fangirls in the cinema started squealing when they reveals Kirishima and Todoroki. The story directing from how, why, and who when the conflict started, delivered in a great way and with pretty good pacing, all the better when it's almost reaching the climax, with occasional comedy placement between Mineta and Kaminari, that's really not out of place nor character, it's really fresh. Though there's a bit (really bit) bitter aftertaste in my tongue regarding the conclusion, for its lacks of aftermath scene. Despite that, i still suggest you wait until credit scene with "Long Hope Philia" song ends. *CHARACTER* Dave and Melissa Shield is a great character for Toshinori's and Midoriya's character development. They are a very likeable character, and very supportive to the both teacher-student, with a good backstory behind them that made me really sorry for Midoriya. Alas, aside from that i can't disclose much more about them as it will become spoiler. As for the other characters, well if you watched this movie before watching the main series i suggest you watch them first, it'll be much clearer of why they are there, their backgrounds and their statuses in the universe. Maybe that's kind of a minus too, there aren't any explanation of what their quirk is like how the series usually shows. Also the villains whose only purpose is to highlights the two heroes. *VISUAL* As for the visual itself i can't say it's great, it's just normal like how the series usually is, the colour palette and backgrounds aren't especially striking, really just normal. BUT, THAT IS COVERED BY SUPERB ANIMATIONS!!! OH MY GOD!!! WHAT AN EYEGASM! IT MADE ME JUMPED OFF MY SEAT, LIKE YOOOOOOOOWWWW WTFFF!!!! THE PALETTE SUDDENLY CHANGES FITTING THE ANIMATION, THE ANIMATION OF QUIRKS, POWERS, DESTRUCTION IN THE BACKGROUND, EXPRESSION, MOVEMENT, ALL THAT MADE MY JAW DROPPED! As the story builds, the animation are so on point of which scenes they needed to emphasize, it's so awesome and fits really well with story, character and sound. *SOUND* Two thumbs up, the foley and OSTs really immersed me. This is what i actually afraid of, and made me lowers my expectation. Because in the movie BONES made previously (Dead Apple), all the songs are inserted here and there, and those are not instrumental, which kinda distracts the audience because there are dialogues when the songs inserted. But thankfully, here on Two Heroes they mainly using an instrumental musics fitting the situation and mood. WHICH MADE MY ADRENALINE PUMPING (or maybe the whole audience in the cinema). (+) The story is great, serves more development for Toshinori and Midoriya (+) Likeable new characters (+) Animation is superb (+) Fighting scene is really great and impactful (+) Foley and OSTs are awesome (+) Enough screentime to highlights the students involved (+) Made you think some things may cause a plothole in the main series, but it's actually not (-) Lackluster villain motivation (-) Some students aren't explained really well of how they get to the island (-) The graphic are standard Summary: It was a great experience watching this movie, they successfully delivers the story they wanted to show and character's mood visualization, especially Midoriya's, which is very crucial. Despite the lacking of good villain and aftermath, this movie is still very enjoyable and worth watching. I really hope Dave and Melissa get canonized tho UwU.

Boku No hero Two Heroes was one of the best movies I’ve ever watched in the cinema this year Despite being damn uncomfortable because of the poor seats we were given in the cinema, it didn’t hinder how much I enjoyed the movie. BNHA Two Heroes wasn’t much a continuation of season 3 but a sideline story of All Might and also a huge development in Midorya’s and All Might’s relationship The story involved All Might’s old sidekick, Dave and his daughter. Plot was pretty generic, OVERPOWERED Villain and a minor plot twist (betrayal) etc. But what was hella dope was the development between Izuku and All Might which led to THE EXTREMELY DOPE FIGHT SCENE, probably the best ever in all of BNHA! The BEST ENDING SCENE EVER! BEST COMBO EVER! BEST MOVIE EVER!!! All Might’s and Dave’s time is of the past now... Now the time has come for a new generation of heroes. The movie has shown us the way with the Two Heroes.

My Hero Academia the Movie: Futari no Hero is an shonen spinoff movie that knows what's wrong with shonen spinoff movies. It shows that it knows what it needs to be and what it needs to not be in order to satisfy its audience, and it delivers on that with enough enthusiasm and self-awareness to overcome its lack of any real substance. Story: Futari no Hero isn't about the story it tells as much as what the story allows the writers to make the characters do. This is a simple movie. It sets up a bare-bones premise and then it cuts loose and only worries about balancing three things: 1. Shoving much action as it can comfortably fit into the runtime. 2. Keeping up enough tension to get its audience invested and hyped for its climax. 3. Fanservice for its characters. Hey, it's a popcorn flick, and it's a popcorn flick that is based on an established property. These aren't unreasonable goals, and the film has the right idea of what to sacrifice to meet those goals. It just sacrifices too much. The film has the right idea. When the plot gets rolling, the stakes are established with little fanfare, and the film puts in the time to build tension before the fighting starts. However, once the focus of the film shifts to paying off that tension, it evaporates. There's just too much fighting! The film loses itself in cutting back and forth between countless action scenes and the plot gets stretched thinner and thinner the longer it goes on. I never felt like the fights had any real consequences to them until near the end of the film, and there are only a couple of times when I felt the characters were in any danger at all. More than once, I wondered, so what if the characters lose this fight? Why is this scene even happening? Those fight scenes seem to be there because of why the middle of the film is there: for the writers to give us Class 1-A showing off why we love Class 1-A. Everyone has to show off the qualities that make people find each character so endearing. Everyone gets to see the characters fight. The fighting gets tiring, but the focus on its characters doesn't. It's part of what everyone who is a fan of a franchise wants to see in a film based on that franchise, and it serves as a strength in its own right. That focus hides the cracks in the story by being entertaining enough in its own right to maintain the interest of the audience right up until the climax begins, and that's just enough to carry it for me. This doesn't mean that there's nothing about the story that's noteworthy for its quality. It's just that little what stands out has to do with the plot or premise of the movie, unfortunately. First is the utterly charming first section of the movie. It throws a gag a minute at you while keeping up a goofy and light-hearted tone that gives it a homey feel. It makes you want to smile even when you're not laughing out loud (which will happen more than you'd think!). Second is the ending of the film. I'll spare you any details except to say that it's action-packed and the level of intensity and emotion and energy surging through it all makes it feel like they kicked it up to 11 for this one. Lastly, the humor. There isn't much time dedicated to comedy scenes after the action starts, but enough care has been taken to make you laugh every minute or two. It's the perfect accompaniment to the action, and it helps distract from the issues in the middle of the film, which is all you can ask for. Down to the less-bad-but-still-annoying-stuff. This is what you'll notice in the film more than anything. Flashbacks at the start and climax of the movie seem unnecessary and waste too much time. Kaminar and Mineta are comic relief characters that aren't funny. A couple of the fights had opponents that weren't very interesting. Some of the dialogue is just classic shonen cringe (Take a shot everytime someone says 'hope' or 'peace' at the start of the film or at the end!), and the moral of the story actually makes no logical sense (I wish I could explain that here, but no spoilers!). None of this crops up too much, but these things are all very, very noticeable and, if there was much more of any of those things in the film, I'd cut the rating down to a 7 or even a 6. Art: You can tell that the budget for this got sank into the action and nothing else, but it was a worthwhile investment. Given the sheer amount of action in the film, it's worth mentioning that all of it is movie quality, and the film manages to make the ending fight look even more polished and fluid. They really had their priorities straight here. Sound: This is a category that you'd expect My Hero Academia to ace, and it does so effortlessly. Music is used in all the right places to enhance each scene and get you hyped for the triumphant moments, but there's real restraint on display in how often the film just doesn't play any music at all. It's not something you're going to notice unless you're paying attention, but it is something that you can appreciate once you do. Character: The highlight of the film for me. Class 1-A are all likeable and the film dedicates itself to being a showcase for its characters. That means that everyone gets the chance to play hero. Everyone gets to look good. Everyone gets to make the audience laugh. Even the villain has more going on with him than you'd expect. More than being an action movie, this is a character-oriented movie, and if there's one thing this property has going for it, it's character. Enjoyment: The film is just plain fun. It's so comfortable being whatever it wants to be and doing it in style. It's made to be seen in theaters. It's a spectacle meant to be enjoyed on the biggest screen that you can watch it on and with the biggest audience you can rope into seeing it with. It's not meant to be rewatched or examined as anything other than as a shonen movie, and what qualities make this a strong film don't lend themselves well to either. What it does lend itself to is making the experience of watching it as intended an absolute joy from start to finish.

Boku no Hero Academia Futari no Hero Movie Review By: Yōsuke Kuroda Dated: September 05 2020 Not all heroes needed superpowers to help people, not all of them needed inhuman skills or reflexes to maintain the peace in society, other people can fight and help too by using their mind, by making their idea into life. That is what I-Island is. An island for all scientists who are continuously creating support items to assist heroes and help the people in need. The setting of the movie starts with All Might, accompanied by Deku in this island, with the invitation of his friend's daughter. The story goes on with most of the UA students that are also invited having fun with the exhibits, until villains who planned to make hostages of all the people in the island took action. People who believe in themselves, who are willing to take risk and stand on what they want in life is a sight to see. Most of the time, we're being blinded by the negative things in life that we failed to see that there's also hope in those things. At times, we tend to make decisions that we don't really think of the outcome and that's what happens on this movie. But I really love how the fight goes on at the ending of the movie and how every one of them is already capable of being a true hero, how they manage to act immediately on a dangerous situation, how they exceed their limit and how conflicts between them don't matter when in fight. Because they are a team.

80% of the plot for this movie has been done before too many times to count but at least it's done in a good way. The story's pace is good, it has a couple of twists in between and you also get a glimpse of All Might's younger self and his days in the US of A. I think the movie did a good job with the sound design and soundtrack but the animation was too inconsistent for me to praise it. Some actions sequences just looked sloppy and there were a few scenes where it felt that I was watching something entirely different than the same movie. This movie is great fun if you enjoy Boku no Hero Academia and because I do, I have to give this one a 9 out of 10.

The first Boku no Hero movie perhaps serves as a microcosm for the series as a whole, for good and for ill. It may be a bit rote and clearly standing on the shoulders of giants, but overall the movie and series are enjoyable adventure stories with a strong ensemble cast and high technical quality. The story is an inverted take on Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo in that the Japanese heroes are traveling to a proxy America, whereas in that film the American heroes were traveling to Japan. It's a good way to expand the universe a bit - I often feel that the mainline series is constrained somewhat by the constant tethering to the school setting. It's cool to see these characters in a new environment. At first, it is just Deku and his mentor All Might on the trip, as the purpose is to visit an old friend of All Might's. However, for various paper-thin reasons, all of the UA students we care about end up on the island. This is fine by me, as I enjoy these characters and the narrative is hinged greatly on the ensemble cast's interactions. Deku gets to meet a new girl this movie by the name of Melissa Shields. The "girl of the movie" is a bit of a cliche in these shonen movies, as I'm sure many of us are aware. The perceived plausibility of a romance is in the eye of the beholder - for example, I enjoyed the relationship between Ichigo and Senna in the first Bleach movie, while others didn't. In this case, I find it somewhat hard to believe that the nervous wreck Izuku could charm the pants off of a confident, highly intelligent scientist's daughter like Melissa. I was much more interested in seeing All Might's past, and the flashback where he and professor Shields meet is one of my favorites in the film. Seeing All Might in his prime is fantastic and I'm glad the movie took advantage of this opportunity, as I'm sure many fans are interested in exactly how strong All Might was at his peak, considering his feats in the present. I also found it interesting how closely All Might in the past resembled Mirio Toogata...I would not bat an eyelash if the two are revealed to have some deeper connection in the story's future. As for the villain, I did not remember much about him or his motives, like many shonen movie antagonists he is one-note and forgettable. We are more concerned with the battles, and they are very good. Art, sound design, and the sheer energy are spectacular. The animation for Boku no Hero has always been great, but the fights in this movie really have a slick style to them that makes up for the rather thin plot. The side characters have things to do, with Bakugo and Todoroki getting some nice no-holds-barred fights to their names. The final confrontation is similarly a feast for the senses, with a heartwarming (if somewhat pandering) combination attack between All Might and Izuku. It is commendable that even in a self-contained movie the series never forgets the emotional core which is the bond these two characters have. Overall, I endorse this movie for fans of the series who can't get enough of the characters and the highly polished technical aspects of the anime. There are many cliche elements to the plot but they are executed as well as possible. Far from cashing in on the anime's popularity, this movie celebrates and accentuates that which has caused Boku no Hero to explode over the past few years.

tl;dr: It's a slightly above average shounen movie. The story was alright, but it felt like it could have been better. The art has its up and downs. Sound design was beautiful as always and the characters were well-represented. I came for MHA fanservice and I got that, even if I wished it was a little more. The animation felt at its best in the midst of a fight scene, which is when Bones typically shines with their dynamic/fluid style. Outside of that, it remained fine, even if it felt like one or two scenes were a little on the static side. I don't doubt Yaoyorozu's physical strength, but I'm pretty sure making things float was Uraraka's job. If you've listened to the MHA OST before, you know what to expect here. Jet Set Run is a pretty great successor to You Say Run, and the other new themes felt right at home with the ones from the show. Some people have said that the movie would have benefited from less 1-A characters, and I don't necessarily disagree. Still, they did cut down the cast size to about half and did a solid job of showing off their personalities and abilities. At most I would have removed Kaminari and Mineta from the main plot for being gag characters, but I didn't hate them for existing (which is usually the case with Mineta). Things like Kirishima's friendship with Bakugo and Deku's fanboyish nature definitely made this work. SPOILERS START The story was arguably the weakest point. Melissa wasn't a bad character by any stretch, but it feels like there could have been a lot more in regards to her Quirkless nature and desire to be a hero. They kinda glossed over that in season 1 of MHA as well, but it felt weird to bring it back and then not really do anything with it. David Shield was a little better than his successor, as his relationship with All Might felt properly utilized. The rest of the story was standard shounen movie plot, which was a bit disappointing, but the villain was slightly better than the usual fodder. The double fakeout towards the middle was well-executed and he was solid foreshadowing for what I think will be season 4 of the anime. SPOILERS END It was enjoyable, yet flawed movie. You're watching it for the flashy action scenes, the interactions between Deku and Bakugo, Uraraka being best girl, and the sweeping orchestra accompanying moments that make your inner fanboy happy.

All right, so I recently watched this movie and need to get my thoughts out, cause this movie was lit. First thing I noticed was the increased quality of the visuals, compared to the TV-series, in its big opening scene. Multiple complex visual shots that all looked impressive and fluid. Especially awesome was All Mights first on-screen moment: So this big-ass villain jumps down from high in the air, speeding downwards towards a bunch of civilian cars. We see this movement from his perspective, and then switch to the civilians cowering in fear of their incoming doom. But then, for a fraction of a moment, a foot. A shining foot. After that, a fist. The clothing may be different, but you immediately know who this guy is. For a moment, there is a frame of the villains physique being bended by his downward momentum and the pointed force of the punch aimed at him. His body shoots backwards. Then we're shown a frame of the hero, his mighty posture visible against the background, as he turns around, and announces that he is here. What this movie keeps propping up is a level of excitement, one that you typically get from My Hero Academia: that almighty feeling of putting up this fight, mustering all you strength to lay down the villain, and in this series case, with a mystical energy beam of SMASH. Presented in high-tier visuals, for ultimate satisfaction and hype. Now lets calm down for a minute and look at the story. As this movie ties into an already existing world based on a manga series, it can't have too much of an impact on the overall story. So don't go in expecting lots of depth, character development or a great plot. It's a one-and-a-half hour superhero movie tie-in, what WOULD you expect? It's a fairly simple and straightforward plot, and to movie-veterans, probably very predictable. This doesn't make it less entertaining though. It's focused and decently paced, and pays off in the end. Similarly with the characters, most of them are just kinda there. The two titular heroes (which in my mind, is a combination of either Deku, All Might, David and Melissa) are the main characters, and get the necessary depth and development to make it work. Everyone else is just acting out their character, and doing not much beyond that. Of course, had the movie put too much focus on them, it would have become a clusterfuck, so I'm happy with what the makers did. What I appreciate though is that they all get to do something, they're never useless. If they are, then they have less than half a minute of screentime. The music... it's hero aca, all right. Greatly underscoring the big events, getting you hyped up. There were plenty of moments were I was feeling the excitement coming through. I feel like, should you get something out of it, then it would be fun and excitement. And it succeeded, as the narrative nicely builds up to it, and then lets things loose in an animated frenzy that goes beyond most of what I've seen in the series. Especially the very last fight, where it just goes tripping balls man. That's what I meant when I said a mystical energy beam of SUHMAAAAAAAAAASH. In the end, this movie was mostly a fun tie-in to a beloved franchise. While not going much in depth, and being just ok at times when there wasn't much happening, it also gave hella hype, the sort that people love the series for.

This is my review to the movie 'Boku no Hero Acamdemia: Futari no Hero'. The movie lasts around an hour and 30 minutes and is done by the animation studio Bones who have been doing the Boku no Hero Academia stuff so far so them making this movie isn't very surprising. Important Note: Since this movie is part of an existing anime series obviously you have to watch the TV stuff to know all the characters. But I doubt anyone would watch this movie without having watched the other series or who's reading the manga. Plot/Story: Hero Academia has since its first season been called a stereotypical story that's been done right, and I agree with that. To start of, this movie happens after season 2 and before season 3 of the TV anime. The plot of this movie is that All Might invites Midoriya to attend a hero gadget exhibition on the self-sufficient artificial island I-Island. While on the island a group of villains breaks into the security and barrikades a tower where a gala is being held. Of course Midoriya and others have to best up villains and save the day. A very typical story indeed. An interesting thing is that at the start of the movie we get to see All Might in his younger days. I would lie if I would tell you that this movie's plot is very good. In fact, I was able to detect and call out the plot twists of the movie from the moment they were set up. Which is during the first 20 minutes, mind you. But this is not important since this movie is a franchise movie and just fanserive for people who like MHA and to earn a lot of money for the following fourth season of MHA. I'm pretty sure that's the case. Now I don't know if this movie is Canon but from past experiences it is most certainly not. A franchise movie such as this one cannot live off of the main cast, it has to bring up great new movie-only characters and a great contained story. Does this movie have this? Ehh, not really. There is a very interesting device in this movie that Midoriya uses which is probably the most interesting part, although it is in the movie solely for the purpose of that Midoriya can do what he does and to make the movie more interesting. Apart from that the movie fails in creating a story that is well written and crafted, as well as out of the ordinary for once. The plot is quite predictable and does not have any holding in deep questions or anything like that. A very typical hero movie with MHA slapped onto it. Art: It's Studio Bones, okay. From that alone you can at least give this movie 8 points. Notable in art and animation is the final fight and that's it. They really kept the animation to a more grounded level, possibly in order to not waste too much money so that there is still some left for the next season and to further increase the amount of profit generated from the movie. Sound: Normally I would give them credit for using the very popular and good MHA hype soundtrack. Yoh know, that one track that's really good and everyone knows it. Of course it is used in this movie, and of course it's a good song. But you can't just rely on already used songs and tracks. What I like to see are new compositions, but frankly, I don't remember any BGMs standing out enough that I still remember them after 1 day. As for SFX, of course they are there but that's to be expected. Nothing noteworthy here. Charcaters: Because this is a franchise movie none of the TV main cast can get seriously injured, or anything of that sort. So the main cast can't be touched basically. So the other way is to have a good cast of new characters. First there is David Shield, a gadget developer and friend of All Might. He's what you expect from a friend of him. However, that's all there is to him: A good guy. And while I liked the plot arc of him in this movie, it left depth to be desired. Im sure the story board lead could've done better. Now to his daughter, Melissa Shield and the much better character. All around one of the only reasons this movie even has people like it. I'm not going into detail what her deal is because that would be spoiler. One thing that I can say is that our boy Midoriya had a great connection to her and Melissa was the best character in this movie, period. Sadly I cannot go into more detail but she's a good girl. Now to the villains. They are villains. That's pretty much it. As one dimensional as All for One. Throwaway characters to fill in spots for a villain. And again, that is suchh a shame. You can make great villains, why not do something like making David and the main villain know each other or the villain having a personal vendetta against Melissa or All Might. But no. Nothing. And because there is nothing I will also not remain here. Overall enjoyment and verdict: Did I enjoy this movie. Of course I did, it's MHA. The characters we know and love are the reason we watched this movie in the first place. But that does not cloud my eyes from the mediocracy that is the plot and the much to be desired new characters. Would I recommend this movie? For people who like MHA, yes. They will like it. It s pretty much fanservice for us who like MHA and a money-maker movie, nothing more. I give this movie a 7/10 for being a MHA title and having a great final battle with great animation. And that's it for me for this review. See you in the next review.

I've never been as inspired, moved and encouraged by an Anime more than Boku No Hero. This movie delivered on all fronts, with a side of plus ultra. I was gripped at every moment and I love what they did with All Might & Deku at the end. Definitely looking forward to seeing Deku grow and becoming more like All Might, but in His own way. Just outstanding!! In many ways this movie was even better than season 1,2 & 3. Because you didn't have to wait a full week before being able to watch the next episode. I'm so excited for the next season!

Die Hard meets Boku no Hero Academia? No seriously that's what LA thought by the end of this movie and LA is saying this in a tongue in cheek way, considering the fact that Kouhei Horikoshi likes American media, this isn't withstanding. Now Boku no Hero Academia the Movie: Futari no Hero is set in-between the second and third season, where All Might takes Midoriya to I-Island so that All Might can meet an old friend, Dave Shields, his old partner but also so that Midoriya can see the I-Expo with Melissa Shields voiced by Mirai Shida, Dave's Quirkless daughter, an expo holding the newest support items for heroes and the like, Midoriya later meets his classmates of 1A one way or another before some villains hack into the security system holding the entire I-Island hostage, it up to All Might and some of Class 1A to stop them. So LA will say the first half of the movie is to get the audience acquintated with I-Island as well as giving us hints towards the latter half of the movie involving Dave. But for the most part, it's Midoriya fluffing around in I-Island seeing all the attractions while giving Melissa some screentime with Midoriya. It's the latter half where it turns into Die Hard where the students of Class 1A gets to show their worth as they climb the tower to get the security system back to normal, from the typical headliners like Todoroki, Iida and Bakugou to Ochako, Momo, Kaminari, Jirou, Kirishima and yes even the grape scum Mineta gets his limelight at one point of the movie. Our main antagonist Wolfram voiced by Rikiya Koyama is our Hans Gruber if the Die Hard analogue is anything to go by and he's your typical "final boss" of the movie but LA didn't expect him to have links with...."him" giving us something at least that doesn't make this movie completely isolated from it's anime series and heck Dave Shields and the revelations towards the latter half with him, not only does he get major development but also shows him clinging to the past with All Might to be detrimental and to look beyond to the future *cough* Midoriya *cough*. Animation-wise, done once again by Studio bones, the animation overall is indeed having the exact same aesthetics as the anime series right down to the fights shown having blocky destructive background work that bones and Boku no Hero Academia is well known for. Character designs are striking as always and the background work is in great standards. It's Bones going to the big screen, so yeah it's expected that the best set pieces, the fights are fluidly and amazingly animated. Voice acting, well LA doesn't have much to say, the returning cast is back but with three new characters thus voice actors, those being Rikiya Koyama as Wolfram, Katsuhisa Namase as Dave Shields and Mirai Shida as Melissa. The new cast is great and mingle nicely with the rest of the cast with major props to Rikiya Koyama doing a marvelous main antagonist for this movie. As for the returning cast, LA HAS to give MVP once again to Kenta Miyake as All Might but also Daiki Yamashita as Midoriya. No movie is without flaws however, LA did find that the movie liked to flashback to the anime series and even to it's own previous scenes at times and to be honest, sure the anime series did it for clarity but even so, if your a fan of a particular anime series and a movie came out, we should have ALREADY known this, thankfully the flashbacks were rare to say the least so that it could give us new material. The other flaw would be that as much as Wolfram is the main antagonist of this movie and has ties to "him", he was an "ok" villain overall, it's just felt like his presences was only truly felt near the end of the movie and not encompassing the movie, as one he was behind the shadows early on and two, on the latter half, he let his lackeys do all the work, it's not until the finale he showed his true colors, LA just wanted more form him really. Really as much as LA has some flaws with this movie, the movie manages to defends it's flaws and making up for it one way or another. Melissa however was an interesting character in all honesty, a Quirkless person who wanted to be like a pro hero like Midoriya, but since she was Quirkless she went into support and loved making this for heroes like her father Dave did for All Might, a sorta of introspective look at what would of happened if Midoriya didn't get One for All, it's kinda too bad that we didn't go more in-depth with her in the movie as it would had been interesting but nonetheless what LA got was still fine. Boku no Hero Academia the Movie: Futari no Hero is an obvious must see for Boku no Hero fans and LA was worried this would do the anime movie syndrome of having it being a one-shot, isolated from the anime series movie filled with compilation scenes from the anime series, but Boku no Hero Academia the Movie: Futari no Hero did well to NOT do this but still implement in a ways that we're still getting new material, a new story out of it and it did just that. Yes the movie has some flaws but still the movie holds up even with it. LA's experience with Boku no Hero Academia the Movie: Futari no Hero is pretty much a 95 minute long mini-arc of the anime series, just with the theatrics of being a blockbuster movie and man does it show. Boku no Hero Academia the Movie: Futari no Hero did go beyond PLUS ULTRA but expected from Boku no Hero Academia.

The most awesome movie I've ever seen.The story have is a little obvious but the animation is amazing and the movie has so much hype the character are very good written and the music is as always amazing I almost break my chair from the excitement. Story: 9/10 Sometimes you predict what gonna happend next but only if you have seen many movies for an amateur isn't gonna be so easy. Art: 10/10 The art style is one of my favorites deep black lines many colours but not much Sound: 10/10 The music is one the best but i want to play the main soundtrack a little bit more Character: 10/10 Again i cant be impartial cause All Might is my favorite character Enjoyment:10/10 At the last battle i was stand up and shooting for joy like the old times when i was a kid trying to help the main character! Overall: 10/10 If you are a fan of the anime series you must definitely see this!!!!SARANI MUKŌE PLUS ULTRA!!!!
