Boku no Hero Academia the Movie 1: Futari no Hero

Honestly, it was fine. Just a movie to put that arc somewhere, I get it. Nothing special really, there are some anime movies continued from a series that I love, this was eh, okay. The girl that we get introduced to with the glasses though is very pretty, just felt like I had to add that in since this series is known for it's lovely ladies, although as we know it obnoxiously sexualizes them. Anyways okay movie, it's kinda just something to watch if you want to I guess. From my experience you can understand MHA just fine without watching this movie I believe. So yeah, it's just whatever.

The movie feels more like an OVA without episode cuts, or like an arc the show could have taken but didn't. It felt like this to me because the animation was pretty identical to the show, and they even had some call backs to earlier episodes and stuff. It doesn't really live in it's own bubble, and heavily relies on the audience coming in beforehand knowing the characters and stuff, which is odd, because of how many call backs there are to the show? Anyway, the plot is pretty weak, you can kind of just get the vibe of how things are going to turn out within the first 15 minutes. So it kind of slogs on until it gets to where you think it's going to go. Honestly, while the rest of the movie is really vanilla and boring, I was legitimately surprised at the ending? And for what it's worth, I think the slog is totally worth it, just to watch that final sequence play out again. Incredible stuff. I'll remember that for awhile. But the rest of the movie: totally forgettable. Final sequence? Amazing. Just what I wanted to see in the movie. Just kind of sucks it takes 60 minutes to get to that point.

For a first movie from the BNHA world, it was very entertaining. Story: It honestly is straightforward. Maybe if the first portion of the movie focused on recaps or explaining events that people already know. They could help make more interesting details that it could have taken. That said, for people that aren't familiar with the lore, they won't be lost. So, it is certainly easy enough for anyone could follow. Also, this movie was confirmed to be canon by Horikoshi. So, the events here are good enough to happen in the world won't have significant consequences for the story later. Art: It has a movie budget for the animation; it is apparent and flows very nicely. The ending fight is top quality, the only time I see if falter is when characters are at a distance. I don't know if this is just a problem with BNHA overall or if it just is a movie problem, but it can seem a bit lazy with the character models. Sound: As for the sounds, the movie doesn't have its own unique set; it just uses what it already has from the show. It's not bad sounds, as it can match the tone correctly, but it would be nice to use its own score. Character: It being a hero movie, it does have some unique character designs in the background. That said, it's only three new characters added to the overall lore. Everyone else is exceptionally minor. It was also easy to guess the twist of one of the characters right at the gate and then the next. Again, with a simple story, the characters are just as simple. Enjoyment: I did have a good time with this movie. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but what I got is good enough to be fun. It's a good popcorn flick.

Being honest, I watched the movie first than the anime itself. And even if I wasn't knowing too much about the story (only watched 3 episodes), I think it was an enjoyable experience. So many people said that the Boku No Hero's movie feels just like a cheap cash grab, but for me it was okay. Let me be clearer..... Story: The story is not something different. If you watched the actual Boku No Hero anime, then what are you waiting for? Just go and watch the movie. For me, it's not something that deeply impacted me. It feels like another generic shounen, except for the characters and its themes as well. I don't know too much about the story, so I can't tell too much. I went to the movie theaters and watched, without knowing almost anything about the actual story. It basically starts, introducing the appearance of "quirks" (which are superpowers, that the 80% of the humanity have). With that, the majority of people possesses various abilities, since manipulation to shapeshift. However, our main character Izuku Midoriya bornt without those superpowers. Since he was a child, he has an ambition to become an superhero (making notes about each hero he find), but without his special abilities, your fate was being judged by 80% of people. But things can change sometimes: one day, he met the number 1 hero All Might: an personal idol. His quirk can be transferred to another peole, so All Might decided to take his power to Midoriya. After lots of months of hard training, Izuku got to enroll in UA, a prestigious highschool for superheroes in training. With a lot of talented classmates, and being threated by a villanous organization, Izuku, with the course of time, will learn: what means to be a hero. Not all the people have superpowers, but not all of them need to have them to save people. Sometimes, you can fight with the teachings that life gave to you, or with your mind. Powers, sometimes, can be at second place. And that's why we have the I-Island, and island for cientists that creates support items that assists the heroes, and dedicated to research Quirks and everything related to hero stuffs. The movie introduces two new characters: Dave (an old All Might's friend), and his daughter Melissa; two people that don't have superpowers (as Midoriya in the past), and cientists. The UA is taking an summer break on that island, but a mysterious squad infiltrated the I-Island, and it's up to Midoriya and his friends to confront them. So, keep on your head: the plot itself is not new. Almost everything is predictable, but it's still an anime hyped by everyone. I think if you watched the actual show, you probably gonna like the movie as well. Art: Kinda unispiring, studio Bones could make the art looks better. CGI isn't the best, and sometimes, I got confused with some scenes, being so much look like the Naruto x Pain fight scene... lmao. Bones is not the best in terms of art style, if we put Ufotable (for example) to the side. But, other than that, it's great, refreshing and average for an shounen anime. If you're praising for the art, then this movie couldn't be for you. Look for Fate or Shingeki no Kyojin, because they are eyes-blessing. On Boku No Hero's movie, the best scene is the final fight scene (CALIFORNIA SMAAAAAAAASH), which was well-animated, and a funny spectacle as well. Sound: Well, I felt Kimetsu No Yaiba's vibes with the soundtrack of the movie. Both of them are shounen, so you can expect the same from both (goosebumpy and emotional soundtracks). A great ending song, and probably one of my favorites. Characters: Usually shounen animes tend to be predictable, and for being great, it needs to have a lot of well-performed fight scenes, and charisma for the majority of characters. It wasn't something that I felt with that movie. I personally think that we can have a great relationship between Dave and All Might, but Melissa could be shown in a better way. Removing them, not all the 1-A were presented, and I think that was great. One major problem I'm finding is the character development: we could have a wider narrative, and a stronger cast of characters, but sometimes, it fails to present an refreshing relationship with them. To be honest, it's not a huge problem. I kinda felt the same Kimetsu No Yaiba, but still, they're both great animes. Boku No Hero could be a more dynamical development, and younger All Might is one of the most exciting things on the movie lol. But it's still resonable for a shounen animes. Could have a better villain as well, and my favorite characters are Yaoyorozu and Todoroki (an couple btw). Enjoyment: Well, it was great. The ending is not best, too rushed, and sometimes the movie can be cringy. But I think it was a great experience. I watched at the movie theaters, and what can you expect: lots of fun with the characters; the OST as the strongest part, but an rushed ending and a predictable movie. If you are a big fan of the franchise, just go and watch. If you are like me (only watched the movie and skipped the anime), then you can't expect to be the big hit on the shounen world. Overall, it was good, and I actually need to continue to watch the Boku No Hero anime. If you're familiarized with the action genre, then you're gonna like it). That's it.

This is a very simple cash grab movie made by studio bones, and that's fine. Its not like the movie is horrendous and anime studios really can use some money. story: 2/10. boring, predictable. art: 8/10. un-inspiring and low effort, especially for a movie. Then why 8/10? I'll explain later. sound: 8/10. very good sfx and decent ending song. seiyuu performance is A tier as usual. character: 3/10. Judging solely based on new characters. The movie could really use a better villain. enjoyment: 8/10. So... how and why? Cause this is my hero academia. I knew what I was getting into and was still a bit disappointed, but I don't feel like I wasted time watching it or anything, because there is one thick pillar of appeal in this movie: YUTAKA NAKAMURA: Legendary animator, the greatest action animator of all time. We get around 10 minutes of his work in this movie and its nothing shy of a visual spectacle. Just those 10 minutes of high octane god-like sakuga is the reason I'm giving this movie a 7/10. All I can say is that I hope he and other senior sakuga animators are getting paid enough for their work. if you wanna watch the movie, then definitely watch it. however, if you don't want to watch it, go through the basic plot and watch the climax fight. It's more than worth it. Expected an OK narrative, received a poor one. Expected fantastic sakuga, received the god-hand.

I think this could be a lot more fun in a theater with a rowdy, Rocky IV like audience full of fans that would really get into it. It felt like the only part that really got away from the TV show's animation was in the ending, and it was all really fun then, but everything before had the same sort of plotting. The show has good characters, let them breathe and interact. Even an episode on Kaminari and Mineta waiting tables and a night on the town at I-Island sounds good to me. It does do a good job at getting to the main theme of the show, that even with superheroes, everything always needs to change and evolve over time, and trying to maintain something for just the sake of the status quo and feeling normal can be as unhelpful as anything else, something the Marvel movies have definitely not learned at all. It was pretty damn exposition heavy at the start too. Not bad for someone who's never seen this show before, but I think it could be too much for them too. It's focus on All Might and Midoriya as well as the new-and-totally-won't-be-forgotten-bc-this-isn't-canon characters call back the show's main dynamic without stepping on the show's toes. It's a good time all said and done.

Eh, it was alright. The beginning was kind of boring, but once more of class 1-A started showing up the character dynamics that've been established throughout the show were able to make it a little more interesting. The plot itself was pretty simple and easy to follow with not a lot of thematic weight. The final battle was a pretty fun spectacle, though the whole metal structure that the villain created felt too busy, distracting from the rest of the fight sequence. There was just too much detail to look at, taking your eyes away from the main focus. That said, the animation in that final fight scene is pretty great. Overall, kinda meh. I can't say I enjoyed every aspect of it. Definitely won't watch it again.

Bnha is my comfort show, I’ve loved it since the beginning, but I cannot express enough that I was disappointed that the franchise produced something of this quality. While the movie was enjoyable enough for me (citing my bias above), I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. If you’re a fan of the show looking to enjoy offshoots of the series expecting the same like-ability, skip this one! Reason #1: The Animation. Oh god, the animation. While it definitely had a few great shots, overall it was poor. Long clips looked like they should have been single frames. Reason #2: The Story. It’s predictable, but for me personally I didn’t find it annoying enough to not be able to overlook it. Still I figured it was important to include. Reason #3: The Pacing. This movie somehow managed to go at a snail’s pace for a hour and ten minutes and rush the ending? Everything felt completely off. It leaves you thinking, “wait, it’s over!?” in the worst way. Reason #4: The Ending. Very rushed (reason #3) and throws a random, unneeded twist in that’s then completely useless and doesn’t effect anyone? It’s never addressed later. It also leaves you with numerous plot holes that give you headache thinking about. At the end I was left smiling because it was a movie with my favorite characters, but that doesn’t mean it was actually deserves my props. I wish I could say it was better and give it more love, but I honestly can’t.

Okay, so I was really excited going into this movie, because it's the MHA movie! Y'know? And well... it was good. (lol) The movie is what you'd expect really; a more-than-decent film with our beloved characters fighting against a giant threat a saving the day! Plot wise, it's nothing unexpected or special, although to be fair, that plot did surprise me hehe. But my friends said that they saw it coming, so maybe it's just me who's blind. The art of the movie is PHENOMENAL, as you'd expect for the blockbuster film of one of the biggest animes right now; everything looked so crisp, hell! Even the random eagle in the intro looked phenomenal! It was wayyy above average, really amazing and beautiful. Now the meaty part, the characters. As per usual, the character's are what tie the plot together. Every single character is as great as ever! They make the movie fun, and enjoyable and make the alright story into massive fun! Also the battles where amazing, really really dope! As per character development, I dunno what to say, because basically anything that happened in the movie never ever gets mentioned again in the show, lol. So it's kinda like it never happened really. Also can we talk about how great the guys looked in the outfits?! hehe. The worst thing about the movie is that it's a bit stale and non significant. It truly loses impact after you finish it. Reason's being that it's a bit predicable and it feels like nothing happened although it was technically a huge fight. And that final battle... that final battle was just bad. I feel like the villain got back up stronger after being beaten by Midoriya and All Might like 7 times. After the second time, it's already like "just fuckin end it already!" and thus the movie seems even more insignifcant if the most important moment feels lame. Regardless, I still quite enjoyed this movie, and while it prolly deserves a 7, I liked a bit more than that, to be honest... Thus- I give Boku no Hero Academia: Futari no Hero a light 8/10.

If I had to describe the Hero Academia movie in one word it would be forced. This is established immediately after the opening fight scene which reminded me why I love this franchise, cause once that ends there’s a 30 minute exposition dump, explaining the basic premise of the show to any newcomer, what the deal is with all the new characters, what the deal is with this setting their all in, and, by far the most painful one to sit through, is why the film feels the need to explain why every character from the show is here. Instead of doing the normal thing one would expect from a show in high school of having a school trip as an excuse to move the class to a new location, All might got invited to his super special awesome island and he was only able to take Midoriya and then once best girl is introduced, acting like a generic version of herself, we find out that the whole gang is here each with their own excuse…and nobody deciding to mention anything about it to anybody else…why?- Ahh. The party is ruined because this guy turned up and he’s a really big meanie. You know this guy. He sure is a guy who’s doing a bad thing. After sitting through all of this overexplained bullshit for half an hour we reach the actual plot of the movie. Climbing stairs. After wasting another half-hour climbing stairs, we find out that the actual bad guy is the friend guy that you thought it was all along because you’ve seen like 3 spinoff movies to shounen anime before so obviously it was always going to be this guy and he has totally justifiable decisions or whatever and then the big bad guy continues to be a big bad guy and then all might shows up and the movie is saved from here on out. You can probably tell by now that the plot of this movie sucks ginormo monster cock but the last fight. It’s fucking awesome. It’s a pity that I don’t care about the consequences of it because of the rest of the film. 6/10 This Review is actually the script to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMgZyC4USR0 Check that out and subscribe to the channel if you want to see more reviews like it.

My Hero Academia is a manga/ anime that knew how to score many people during its release. Even today, it is part of one of the best mangas of recent years. So, at the announcement of a feature film on this license, I was eager to discover it but as the cinemas at home have not screened it (we really have to solve this problem of distribution of Japanese animated films in France), I had to wait for this featurefilm officially release. Now that it’s done and the second feature film of the licence is going to be screened, I thought it was the right time to talk about this first film. Is this movie good? Yes, it has a lot of qualities to emphasize but it also has some problems that have disturbed me a little (even if they are mostly details). Positive Main characters: Izuku Midoriya (Bastien Bourlé) is a young learning hero who inherited the power of All Might and who seeks to be worthy by becoming the best possible hero. He gets better every day and continues to train anyway to feel worthy of the power of All Might. He is an endearing and intelligent character who gives himself thoroughly to be at the height, we want to see him succeed in his goals. All Might (Julien Chatelet) is a tired hero who is finding it increasingly difficult to keep his malabar appearance. He does his best to hide this secret and help Midoriya become the best possible hero for this land. He is a great mentor who gives himself completely and is endearing in his desire to make Izuku stronger. Melissa Shield (Kelly Marot) is the niece of All Might and she is a genius inventor who dreams of looking like her father and wants to help at all costs even if she has no alter. Frankly, I really like this character. It shows that heroes do not necessarily have powers to be heroes, that it is not the powers that make heroes but the acts is hmmmm

(From the series of watching all the specials, alternatives, movies, etc., that I haven't seen) So, I'll say right off the bat that I always prefer everything in episodic format, not movie. Movies always feels too fast and not completed, and there's too little important content to cram in, especially since movies almost always have a beginning, an extension, and an ending this always lowers my rating, for which I sincerely apologize :((. However, I have to admit, even though it was a movie, I really liked it. I liked how they showed a little more of All Might's past. Honestly, I even like that he was an intern in the States, etc. I simply like the vibe of it, which fits the atmosphere of the States. I won't lie I thought the ending was very good. There was a lot going on, with a lot of plot twists, etc., which I really liked. There were moments when my jaw dropped in surprise. I also liked the new characters. I think they fulfilled their roles and tasks as characters, even if only in the movie. They were really good. I also like how they handled the "Immortal Gauntlet" because I can't remember exactly what it was called, but I like how it actually got handled at the end, and why it wasn't in the season. I was afraid they would add it here and then simply forget about its existence in the season, but no, which makes me very happy. What I didn't like was how, for unknown reasons, practically everyone from the class was on the island. I understand that some received invitations and some received tickets for their good performance during the festival. However, many people were forced to be there, in my opinion, just to ensure everyone was present. It makes the plot more interesting, but I'm a bit dissatisfied with how they did it. Another thing is how the villains were introduced and drawn in. At the beginning, they appear out of nowhere, and nothing is known about them, and it remains that way almost until the end, everything is explained only at the end. In my opinion, the explanation still feels out of nowhere. Despite the villains' powerful nature, they're never mentioned before, and then they play characters who can rival the bests of the bests. For me, it's a bit random, though. This also reinforces my approach to movies. Because it's in movie form, we only learn the most important things literally at the very end, and because of this, many things seem pointless and out of nowhere for a long time, but that's my opinion. My view is more about the movies, as it's a common theme in them. Ultimately, would I recommend this movie? Yes, I would. There are a few things to learn. The plot is generally enjoyable to watch. It's a good watch, and despite everything, it makes sense in most aspects. I would recommend it to anyone who watched BNHA, as well as to those who haven't seen it. In my opinion, there's nothing to regret about watching it. (If you don't know, this movie is tied to season 3, but it takes place between seasons 2 and 3, so before season 3. So, it's probably the best place to watch it chronologically. If you're reading this before watching season 3, keep that in mind.)

The first MHA movie is here. It's not my favorite of the 3, but still a lot of fun! New characters, fun All Might backstory (mmmmmmm Dave it's been to long) and a bit more of a lighthearted action movie. Lots of really funny moments and classic superhero moments. There's also a cameo of the OG Hawks that's super funny so if nothing else watch for that. But I quite liked this movie. It's sweet and fun and a good time. If you wanna watch this in the right moment of the timeline, watch this movie after season 2 ends but before starting season 3. There's a filler in the middle of the second arc in season 3 to advertise the movie bc that's when it was originally released but I wouldn't wait until then to watch.
