(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…

Man, this movie delivered everything I wanted and more. It kept that familiar My Hero Academia vibe we’ve all come to love — the kind of energy that makes you root for the underdog and feel every punch during a fight scene. From start to finish, it felt like an extended but polished arc from the main series, and that’s a compliment.
What stood out most for me was how they gave Midoriya that special support gear. It didn’t feel out of place — it made perfect sense in the context, and honestly, it was refreshing to see him go all out without completely wrecking his body for once. I seriously wish he had something like that in the main series because it adds such a cool dynamic to his fighting style.
And the action? Absolutely wild. The animation quality during the final showdown had me on…

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.

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.

I appreciate that this movie actually expands on the world of My Hero Academia and also explores more of All Might's backstory. Apart from that the movie is very predictable and forgettable.
It doesn't help that the villain is unmemorable and the supporting character Melissa who is quirkless, could've been very interesting but just ends up being a very bland supporting character.
The animation quality is just more or less the same as the show which is disappointing as you would expect they would give this a movie budget quality but it never really amounts to anything more.
It's not terrible movie and if you already liked the show then this is just basically more of that. It's a shame they didn't use the movie to do more though.

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 gir…

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).

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.

Unambitious anime movie that exists primarily so that there would be at least one movie attached to the series. If anything is impressive about it, it's the relative diversity of "requisite anime tropes" it draws from. They go to a carnival island where the rules of the main story apply less (never relevant), they need to climb to the top floor of a tower (that is never visually interesting), the movie is a movie-original escort mission (which never goes over well), the climax of the movie is two of the main characters combining their main attack. Being derivative isn't bad; it's often very good. However, I didn't find any impressive ideas to latch on to. There's something about passing the torch to the next generation, and how holding on to the past leaves us vulnerable, but that's about…

It gave me hope and power at the end of the movie. I was grinning to my cheeks like a child. That raw feeling giving you power and hope when you take down overwhelming adversities one by one. Now I know the reason why I love My Hero Academia again.
It captured my heart like Izuku seeing All Might save people. That's how it affected me.
I couldn't give a dang about how anyone says about the overall movie. This is a Shounen that captivated me to feel hope, even at the hardest times. I had fun with the characters and how they interacted.

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,…

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…

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

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, introdu…

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:

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…

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 sna…

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…

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 togeth…
