--------------------------------------------------CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS--------------------------------------------------------

         Studio Bones did it with an amazing movie, ‘My Hero Academia: Two Heroes/僕のヒーローアカデミアTHE MOVIE〜2人のヒーロー’. Beautiful animation with amazing fighting scenes, the anime series My Hero Academia has their first movie.

         Everyone was great in the film and the way they introduce the characters was fun and fitting for their characters. Unfortunately, not all of Class 1-A were in the film along with the beloved Aizawa-sensei. Even so, it was nice to see some classmates even though they had a small screen time.

         We saw a bit of All Might’s younger days in America and his friendship with Dave. The film has moments where it shows how Deku is All Might’s successor. Even Dave sees the same light of All Might in Deku. It also shows the next generation by Melissa and Deku representing Dave and All Might.

         There were moments that took me surprise like Bakugo, Todoroki and Kirishima appeared to the rescue to help Uraraka, Melissa and Deku. It also surprised by the little part All for One had in the villain’s plan.

         You don’t really need to watch all the episodes of My Hero Academia series since they explain the world of quirks, how All Might and Deku met, and One for All. The movie takes place after Season 2 and before Season 3. Episode 20 of Season 3 leads up to the movie where All Might receives the invite and him inviting Deku to the I-Expo.

If you love the fighting scene between Deku and Bakugo in season 3, you’ll love the fight scene in this movie. The movie really surprised me because there were moments where I was questioning how they were going to make everything right again.

In the beginning, there are two eagles to introduce All Might’s young days in America with him and Dave. Towards the end of the film, we see the two eagles again to represent All Might and Deku.

Lots of funny and cute moments with Kacchan and the other characters~

The tickets sold out that they had to add two more shows in the North America release. I was luckily able to see the subtitle version~ After the movie was over, I already missed all of them! It was cool that the movie showing happened towards the end of Season 3, so I was able to watch the last episode of the season than was able to see the movie soon after.

Can’t wait to watch it again! It was a fun experience to watch~

Film and TV Show Recommendations

After I watch a Film or a TV show, I always list the name and the Director of the work.  At the end of the year, I count them all to see how many I've seen in that year.  These Films or TV shows are my Top works that I recommend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Grand Budapest Hotel (Wes Anderson)      - Originally a novel, A Man narrates the story about his days of working as a Bell Boy at The Grand Budapest Hotel.  The Bell Boy also talks about the Concierge of the hotel.  I love the Cinematography of the film along with the interesting Story plot.  I feel like the Film's humor depends on the person's taste in humor.  The Humor was delivered through dialogue and action.  There are a few scenes that might not be appreciated by some people.  So, make sure you look closely at the rating of the film.  Hyouka (23 episodes) ...
