Well, the fight scenes and the score were great, but my problems with this film stem from 2 points;
1) The main villain is literally temu AFO/Shigaraki without the character development. And besides the fact that his power works exactly the same as theirs, we get absolutely nothing from him story wise, so theres no weight in the "new world" he strives to create at all. He's even worse than Overhaul on that front. In the first movie we get introduced to new, unique characters whose stories actually have an impact on the world building overall. We simply don't get that here
2) Not to spoil anything, but for the ending the writers pulled a move out their ass that was never explained, and never touched again after that incident. At this point in time i just finished season 7 so unless it ge…

And congratulations to MHA: Heroes:Rising for becoming my 100th completed anime! Or it would have been my 100th completed if I TECHNICALLY didn't finish probably the last ~3 minutes, meaning that I am eternally grateful to my very legal website for cutting the movie short. The TL;DR is the movie is shit. All shounen movies are, with the exceptions being demon slayer and jujutsu kaisen.
Spoilers beyond this point, but who really gives a shit.
Story 1/10
Pretty average shounen stuff to start off with. Not really much to comment on. Bad guy wants bad thing so good guys stop bad guy from doing bad thing because being bad is bad. If it had stopped there it would have been a 5 or 6 due to the lack of originality. However, there is one part of the story that I wish I had just convinced myself t…

I entered the theater expecting to go Plus Ultra, become the 4th Hokage, and maybe even find the mythical One Piece. I left questioning my existence and how cinema has deteriorated. Martin Scorsese was right, My Hero Academia is a disgrace to the cinema. I would much have preferred a Mushishi live action.
For you newcomers to my reviews, I will dissect my opinion into 5 crucial sections, henceforth known as napkins.

Story (3/10)
I'd like to take you back to a date in time when the great Kublai Khan approached the Japanese with the demands for a peaceful surrender. However, the Japanese refused to and managed to stave off the Mongol invasion due to several Typhoons wrecking attempts at a naval landing. According to the film, the Mongols should have met Deku, who could have shar…

This movie is insulting. Not only does it have no fucking impact on anything MHA (glorified and well animated filler episode that runs an hour too long), it's just a terrible movie through and through. It focuses a lot on my least favorite character (Bakugo) who I can frankly do without. The animation is great, so great in fact, Season 4 got gutted because of it because on the BEST arcs (Shie Hassakai) in MHA was passed over to make this dumpster fire look better. The story is a travesty and beyond forgettable. I could not find any enjoyment in this besides the animation. Bakugo is obnoxious as usual, they literally do the same thing they do in each filler episode we have each season, like damn, I know each of these character's quirks, get to the action already. The new characters were jus…

I am going to be honest. This movie was really cringy. The way the climax fight was won was dumb. The climax fight of the first movie was really good, but the climax fight for this one was bad. I don't really feel very excited seeing Deku with Bakugo compared to Deku with All Might. Bakugo is a arrogant, self-centered jerk. He treats Deku like garbage and I don't like any scenes with him involved. The plot was bad. The villains' logic was bad. This movie reminded me of Deku's fight with the muscle quirk guy in cringiness. Deku keeps saying "... protect him/her..." or something like that and it gets really annoying. I think that all the fights where the people are fighting to protect another person are cringe anyway in this anime.

I was excited to watch the new My Hero Academia movie since I heard that it was better than the last but I was very disappointed.
The main problems I have with the movie is the ending and villains.
The villains in this movie are as generic as generic gets, with having non-existent back-stories and having cliche motivations
The villain of the movie was just a lamer version of all for one with no real personality or motivation.
The whole movie felt like filler up until the end. The things I like about this movie is the team fighting and the animation and character interactions; getting on to the ending, my problem is how Deku just gave Bakugo one for all, and also how Deku can go 100% without Eri with no explanation at all.
I also disked how they cut the sound effects in the end…

BREAKING NEWS: MHA is STILL on a downward spiral, as author is completely lost on ways to further extend his cash-cow series. On-site reporters note "...but it still looks good tho lol."
-[What's in a Shounen? Good Animation and Nothing Else.]-
OH BOY, here we have the second movie installment in a franchise that had already expended its usefulness after its 3rd season. This show, as of season 4, has absolutely nothing left to say. It has returned to the equilibrium state of shounen anime, meaning, it's completely empty.
So what's left of the shambling corpse of MHA? Well, "Da graphix good tho" is a completely valid praise of this show. Despite being dead, even a corpse can put on a show. Really! Watch any LiveLeak video. Crazy stuff. The animation is by far the best aspect of the movie…

After holding up for several months because the film was never premiered in Argentina due to coronavirus, I finally arranged to watch it. And I regret not having done it before.
Say whatever you want... by far the best fight EVER. At least of what I have seen, maybe the only one who can equal it is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Epicity at its highest points. Each of the fights, from the first one at the beach to the EPIC final battle.
Art and sound were absolutelly astonishing. Every second was incredibly beautiful, and the great insert song in final battle was completely beautiful. It makes you want to cry every second. OST in general was beautiful.
Character appearances were at the highest and most beautiful peak, too. Everyone showed the kind of persons they are and why they want to be…

To save everyone's time this film was - a disappointment
I was going to wait to watch this movie, But everyone was talking about how excellent and astonishing it was, So I went out of my way to see it in theaters. It wasn't worth my money.
Positives
- The art and animation were outstanding, studio Bones went out if their way to animate this movie, Which was a problem for MHA season 4 because Studio Bones probably spent their whole budget on the Art for this instead of focusing on the actual anime.
- The sound was fine, Nothing To impressive
- It was better than My Hero Academia: Two Heroes
- The New two supporting characters Mahoro and Katsuma are just some cute and adorable kids
Now the negatives
This movie was way too predictable, It's just another Shounen Anime/ Superhero movie,…

This movie was great! ....Until the ending!
*Spoilers below*
Thought this movie was on the same tier as the first MHA movie. However, this time they use all the characters in class 1-A and they pretty much all have cool moments (something the first movie really lacked). You don't see much of any characters outside of class 1-A, faculty included, but I don't think that played much of a factor in the quality of the movie.
It starts out slow, but what anime movie doesn't. Picks up halfway through and has non-stop action until the end. Even the story was pretty good, as well as the villains.
...Then the ending happens.
After getting beaten to a pulp against the final villain, Deku decides to transfer One For All to Bakugou (through a fist bump?). Somehow Bakugou instantly gets the quirk…

I am quite a fan of the Academia series. I had watched up to three seasons and still need to get caught up with it but this movie is not quite as good as the show. To start with, the movie was a confusing case in that it felt like it was something to be enjoyed as its own but also felt just like a My Hero Academia episode at the end. But still, people who haven't seen the show will still be confused about a few parts and people who have will be left feeling like it could've had more.
To go into deeper detail, the story is the main problem. It still has all the decent characters we've come to know but I just felt like most of the cast's roles were reduced in favor of two new characters who serve more as Eri replacements than their own characters. We don't see Uraraka trying to impress Mido…

I am writing this immediately after having seen it in theaters. Went with my friends and we all were upset with how it turned out. I was completely disappointed with this movie, having expecting some on the early MHA levels, like the previous movie; I was just let down.
Bad News first:
My major complaint with the movie is just how freakin predictable everything about it is. From the fights to just everything. I knew exactly how everything was going to turn out the second it started. The hero fights the villain, another hero intervenes, both lose. Then enter the end of the movie, the villain returns, heroes fight, and push the villain back just barely. Villian releases final form, hero's release final form. Hero's win but just barely cause at the end, they're all beaten up, unconscious, g…

Long-running battle shonen adaptation spinoff movies have a number of inherent limitations caused by the very nature of their existence. Because they are attached to an adaptation despite being original works, they are functionally filler arcs and cannot do anything that would change the status quo, and any sense of genuine peril to said status quo loses all tension as a result of this.
The first movie knew this very well, and so was as much of a fanservice movie as it could manage, focusing on fun character moments and action sequences, and framing it all around a story theme that not only builds on but also improves the lore of the Hero Academia universe. Ultimately, it was one of my favourite movies of its kind.
This movie does not fare as well.
A lot of this movie centers around its…

This review is being written by a self-proclaimed My Hero Academia super-fan, so obviously it will be a little biased. However, I will do my best to keep this as bias-free as possible. I write my reviews based by scores on story, art, sound, character, enjoyment, and overall from 1-10.
Story - 6 (Fair)
The story of the movie was rather typical of shonen movies. A lot of adventure and action, extensive fighting scenes and convenient exposition. Although, this movie is different from the first in the sense that it solely focuses on Class 1-A running their own ameteur hero agency. All of the students get their moments to shine, but the focus of the story is Bakugou Katsuki and more obviously, Midoriya Izuku. Two new child characters are introduced, as well as four new villains that are imp…

Everything about this movie... WOW WOW WOW! 100 times better than the first. I never thought I would be able to see anime in the cinema. When the characters came on the screen I was so damn happy and excited. Will do my best to keep spoilers to a minimum!
Story: 10/10
The best part about this film is that every one in class 1-A is included and have equal and awesome moments and screentime!! My favourite aspect of this movie is that they don't have pro heroes to rely on, they have to do everything themselves. We get to see how they all react in an actual deadly situation. I honestly am so proud of them all. On top of this, all of the awesome and underrated characters like Aoyama, Toru, Denki and Ojiro got their time to shine! Denki was particularly amazing haha. They all did great! My love…

If you've seen the first Hero Academia movie, you should know what to expect here - but this time the idea of a MHA fanservice story that has no bearing on the main plot has worn out its welcome. And it doesn't help that this movie hits every single plot beat that the last one did.
Once again, this film takes place on a remote island, far away from U.A. High School or any other place that might cause any plot holes. The most major difference is what's on the island - this time, it's a small, rural town full of normal people who live normal lives. The students are sent alone, and their job is to take care of more everyday tasks the villagers might need help with.
But, of course, a new one-off villain and his sidekicks appear on the island to wreak havoc. And while the heart of My Hero Aca…

I know i'm gonna be in a minority on this film, but i don't really care. What i do care about is telling you that to fully talk about this movie some MINOR plot points have to be spoiled. but I tried my hardest to avoid anything big. Anyway let's start by just saying wow.
It's hard to put this movie into words. On the one hand this might be one of the most enjoyable shounen series movies out there, but on the other it feels like it tries way to hard to be fanfic. That's not a bad thing though. The first movie in the My Hero Academia series dose this as well, but where the first movie introduces a macguffin to give us our over the top final action scene that means nothing in the long run, this movie breaks all known rules about the show that we know.
Let's talk about the pros first thou…

Just got done seeing My Hero Academia Heroes Rising aka the Deku & Bakugo movie!! Because if the first film was a Deku and All Might one, then this is for Deku and Bakugo. The two absolutely take center stage in this movie. All of Class 1A is there of course helping but it's mainly about the two top bros.
The film is pretty top notch. Better the first I'd say personally. The first was a rescue mission while this was an escort/protect mission per se. Much more enjoyed this film with the heroes defending an island from invasion as opposed to the first having them save a scientist at the top of a tower. Anyways, the films are similar in setup but i think this one used that setup better. Which makes sense because it's the later film.
Story like I said is kinda similar to the first. That of…

I know before even writing this, I will be in the minority regarding my thoughts and feelings on this film. I will do my best to exclude spoilers but some talking points will probably require minor hints at what happens.
Story: 6
The story for this film is as cookie cutter as it gets for a shounen anime, especially a MHA film. There's a villain who, surprise, wants to rule the world and use powers to make his own kind power-based fantasy realm that doesn't work if you think about it for more than a second or two. He, of course, has to be tied into the League but that isn't really used much in the film, much like the last MHA film. As seen in the trailers, the film revolves around two kids on an out-of-the-way island and how 1-A defends them and the island from harm. Basic superhero story…

Hello! I just saw the movie today and it is... WOW!
This will not contain spoilers (I will try my best!)
------
This movie, compared to the first, gave a good amount of focus to each of the 1-A students! Everyone gets a time to shine, which is delightful! We get to see everyone's powers on display in an actual deadly and desperate situation, not just the sports festival. Yes, Mineta gets his moments too, get over it.
I was quite confused about where this movie takes place in the canon story line of MHA as a whole.. it contains a manga character and manga elements. I, for one, have no problem with this, due to me being an avid reader of this series.
As for said manga elements, HAWKS! He's there and hes everywhere! Though I would've loved to see more of him (where is my Hawks spin-off?)…
